lyrics

In a barren waste of wasted wants
Destiny intertwines
In castles painted by the rain
Fortitude
But now is not the time and now is not the place
For your just and mime
It's broken and rusty
It's buried in its friends
It lays down its thread

Do I know you?
Do I know your face?
Spirit, haunt me no more
I bid you go away

But how he wanted to suffer
How he wanted to cry
How he wanted to tear it from his tired mind
And the sight from his eyes
Drifting bereft
All the nightmares subside
And so the world turns on
A dreamer opens his eyes

Abed in satin
Drifting opaque silhouettes
In scars of seasons
In vines and flowers
Harmony
To the forked tongue of the river's mouth
To a place I'm sure I've known before
Lost in long dark hair

But how he wanted to suffer
How he wanted to cry
How he wanted to tear it from his tired mind
And the sight from his eyes
Drifting bereft
All the nightmares subside
And so the world turns on
A dreamer opens his eyes

So feed my conflagration
Condemn my consternation
Softly, my king, I soar so high
So feed my kin now and then
Conquer and consecrate
Softly, my king, I am sworn to fail my kind

And so it falls to slide
Kick and stop the fire
I'll follow you forever, contender
The teeth show their pride
Point to the moon and sky
To the surface of pale water
Float together leg and arm
