Tell me of the time that you looked down to the brook to see My time-forsaken brother as he sank past reality Space stood between us There was no looking back I chased, I tried, my God denied His body usurped by our accuser
The ink has spilled across the page Shaping surviving sun to shade And that bird's been circling round my door Crying out for \"nevermore\"
Illuminate your child into the depths of the sea Where darkness thought to rule the deep May you forever reign supreme Lasciate Ogne Speranza Voi Ch'intrate
Nothing turns to nothing Being torn from essence Theodicy like gravity pulled us apart Recompense for existence Past the point of paranoia to the precipice of fear Shudders the bones of every unrequited squire sleeping here We looked upon such suffering And knew in one moment that we were no longer
Capsize the ship Tie a noose to its captain I defy you, stars Your fate is a coward
We cast a line into grey waters And reeled back dry heaps of ash
What have we done? We dwell without the sun \"The dreams of reason have produced monsters The dreams of reason have produced monsters\"
I saw the dark wood The moon sinking in the moor Oh sleeper, sink down to spindles As Acheron carries you away from our hands
To wake into numbness To open our eyes Consuming decay Fertilize our demise! You come like a thief in the night So Lord won't you cut me? (Lord won't won't you cut me?) They locked you away They put you to sleep But I'm not ready, there's no surcease She'll speak in your dreams Keep the word on your lips Your ear to the ground Awake in his sleep Cracked bells clanging out false calls for freedom
And when I slept in that garden Lord did you see me as I was dreaming? This is no grave for the salt of the earth This is no flame for the light of this world
