When there’s lightning
You know it always brings me down
‘Cause it’s free and I see that it’s me
Who’s lost and never found

I cry out for magic
I feel it dancing in the light
It was cold
Lost my hold to shadows of the night

No sign of the morning coming
You’ve been left on your own
Like a rainbow in the dark
A rainbow in the dark

Do your demons
Do they ever let you go?
When you try do they hide deep inside?
Is it someone that you know?
You’re just a picture
You’re an image caught in time
We’re a lie
You and I we’re words without a rhyme

There’s no sign of the morning coming
You’ve been left on your own
Like a rainbow in the dark
Just a rainbow in the dark

When I see lightning
You know it always brings me down
‘Cause it’s free and I see that it’s me
Who’s lost and never found
Feel the magic
I feel it floating in the air
But it’s fear
And you’ll hear it calling you, beware
Look out!

There’s no sign of the morning coming
There’s no sign of the day

You’ve been left on your own
Like a rainbow

Lies take on a golden hue

Bleeding from the working few

The dying rays of broken sons

Cast shadows that bleed into one

 

I’ll never know what it meant to you

Similar lives bred separate views

That we both need to carry on

Running barefoot on the shards

 

Destruction reigns an empty throne

She screams “There’s no going home”

 

Carrion lost to a simple trick

Muscle is picked from the bone

Vultures will not sleep or save us now

Jointly we might stand our ground

 

Stand on my shoulders

Examine the throne

Shadows play tricks in the light

Blow out the candle

The specter is gone

She’s never coming home

Oh, Death
Oh, Death
Won’t you spare me over ’til another year?

Well what is this that I can’t see?
With icy hands gettin’ hold of me
Well I am Death, none can excell
I open the door to Heaven and Hell

Whoa, Death
Whoa, oh Death

Too late, too late, to all farewell
My soul is doomed so heed me well
As long as God in Heaven dwell
Your soul, your soul shall scream in Hell

Oh, Death

Whoa, Death
Whoa, oh Death

Have we gone blind?
I used to sing of finding light in the darkened skies above
No fleeting glimpse
All hope is bleeding from this shell
The wolves are snapping at all sides
Consuming fear

The faith I held is fractured like a mirror
Both sides reflect the darkness of the other
Without the will to look inside
We cut our wrists on the divide
And I am bleeding out with no one there beside me

No fleeting glimpse
No hope remains inside this hell
The noose is gripping at my neck with every breath
Our life is drained
We’re being punished for our crimes
The executioner calls out a final time

Offering wealth and wine, take my hand and twist the knife
We’re depraved and reviled, welcoming eternal night

The faith I held is fractured like a mirror
Both sides reflect the darkness of the other
Without the will to look inside
We cut our wrists on the divide
And I’m retreating now into the silence of the starless skies

Into the starless skies

Eternal rest
Merciful death

I awake in a perfect hell – genus ex nihilo
This shell filled with another man’s paradise
Holds only a whisper of my past life
I’m trapped between worlds, a dream within a dream

Draw me a picture, a still frame in your mind
That records all the pieces left inside of me
Know my beginnings, the trials that life brings
Or wash away my ashes in the sea

For in that sleep of death what dreams may come?
The one of a life taken by a man wearing my flesh.
Three gates to hell before me, the sea, the sky, my mind
With this key, a blade, release me.

These skies hold no salvation
No peace lies beneath the dust

Where is the answer? A distant voice repeating
The final gate is calling out to me
The choice is easy, awaken from my sleep
Or wash away my ashes in the sea

Cleanse me in the tides of the sea

As I burned one
Through smoke-lit eyes
I pushed too far past a glorious high
Into a void
Devoid of light
I lost control of muscle and mind

And so I stepped
Close to the edge
My mandible broken on the end of a night
Succumbing to shock
I clung to my life
Just as my tongue was hanging agape to my eyes

And so I fell
Into the night
Psilocybin dreams
Claiming my mind
Into a void
There is no savior
Where is my life? Where is my darling now?

Became lost from space and time
And you were scared
You saw my bloodied body
Your greatest fear
Had been fully realized
I wasn’t there
Both of us saw the end
And I wasn’t dead
No, I still had life
