All of the longing
|
Condensed in this place and time
|
I invoke you, O spirits, crawl inside
|
Then awaken my conscience
|
Lain dormant for all this time
|
And feed the despair that pervades my life, yeah
|
|
In the hold of a nightmare
|
I see truth in their words and lies
|
And beauty appears in sorrow's guise
|
So caught in the moment
|
We ignore the passing of time
|
And mistake the empty for the sublime, yeah
|
|
Oh, my savior
|
Give value to these misdeeds
|
In sin you bathe me
|
Holy
|
So I say that the father lies
|
And my dreams will betray me tonight
|
|
Obey the scourge of night
|
May darkness bring sight
|
I welcome your grace
|
Upon this night
|
|
All of the longing
|
And thoughts scribed in soothing fire
|
The ashes and smoke breed my desire
|
Abject and misshapen
|
To you I give all that I'm worth
|
My swarthy children of the earth, yeah
|
|
Oh, can these words be given shape
|
Oh, does the fool acknowledge fate
|
I've awaken the monster
|
The one that exists in my mind
|
In fear I behold the apparent divine
|
It grants me one vision
|
The mother in death giving birth
|
To the swarthy children of the earth, yeah
|
|
Oh, our savior
|
Pour deep within me
|
In blackness forsake me
|
Holy
|
|
So I say that the father lies
|
And my dreams will betray me tonight, yeah
|
|
Breathe slightly
|
Sleep soundly
|
All through this night
|
Breathe slightly
|
Sleep soundly
|
All through this night
|
|
I'm under its spell
|
I am too small
|
To try to resist the Ancient One's call
|
Will you be with me when I fall
|
I'm under its spell
|
I am too small
|
To try to resist the Ancient One's call
|
Will you be with me when I fall
|
I'm under its spell
|
I am too small
|
To try to resist the Ancient One's call
|
Will you be with me when I fall
|
