Tugging ever at the back of my mind:
The possibility of waking nightmares
A callous mention of the spit you hold
Without a second thought, now fading fast
I leave my body behind!
Another flurry is the dark whisperer
Beyond the influence of mortal mercies
Perpetuating all the truth between body and soul
The face you wear: a dripping mask
I leave my body behind!
Antiquate our beliefs, set in motion your will
Ancient empire, ritual fire
Breakers upon the rocks bringing news of the spoils
The beast below us, the beast below us
The scene is set and I wanted was an out
Slipping away into this viscous anomaly
Deafened by echoes of the past, your love betrayed
Please still me with your gaze
Will I still wonder if your real, or just a matter of mind?
Do I belong beneath the earth, or is it not my time?
I wanted to fight it, I needed to feel it!
I bled my goodbyes with the tears of tired eyes
Your light has fled my life, but I still reach for the knife
