How much darkness... Is needed to see the stars? How much harm must... I feel to heal your scars
[Chorus] You're the author of this nightmare You're the engineer of our distress Ooh, you're the Emperor of Nowhere And no one gets out alive... No one gets out alive from here
These wings are drenched From ambivalence; a slow descent
How much darkness... Is needed to see the stars? How much harm must... I feel to heal your scars
[Chorus] You're the author of this nightmare You're the engineer of our distress Ooh, you're the Emperor of Nowhere And no one gets out alive... No one gets out alive from here
What can't endure Can't be cured Will surely end
[Chorus] You're the author of this nightmare You're the engineer of our distress Ooh, you're the Emperor of Nowhere And no one gets out alive... No one gets out alive... And no one gets out alive... No one gets out alive... And no one gets out alive... No one gets out alive from here
