My spirit lies deep beneath the aqueous veil
Drawing shadows, delineating dread (Eye!)
My body wanders the forsaken roads
The city's pulse grows faint
They tell tales of vanished trails where brightness once roamed
Lids droop heavily under their tall tales of vanished trails where brightness once roamed
Lids droop heavily under the weight of dreams
Shut eyes wide open in the abyss
The air tightens as I think of this
here come the titans, sparking the prelude
Sparking the sun
Sparking the prelude to fire
The dreams that dream the dreams, of the dreamed
They seem to be the same as the others dreamed
They mean to mean the thing that the other's meant
like the coins that line the pockets of the government's dead presidents

This is the prelude to fire

This is the prelude to fire
This is the prelude to fire
Swift as a raven's call at dawn
My trepidations echo on

Beneath lightning streaked skies, my shadow
Self stretches in the meadow
And we played the liar's song all along
A paradise once lost burns with fire
The night air crackles, a pact unsealed, seals fate, then
Evil once chained to shackles
As the infernal gate swings wide open
I nibble at the edges of the fire
Its bitterness entwined with clarity
My eyes reflect
My eyes reflect the light of fading stars
Yeah
As fading spreads, its gates wide open
I nibble at the edges of the final act
This bitterness entwined with clarity
My eyes reflect the light of fading stars
You're just fading so fast, fading so far away
Like ghosts of the past

Like ghosts of the past

Taste the fruit of Judgement Day
It's bitter in its truth
Standing before the gates of hell
Before the end comes calling
Before for the first light's roar
Find peace within the dark
Dark and sure

Taste the fruit of Judgment Day
It's bitter in its truth
Standing before the gates of hell
Before the end comes calling
Before for the first light's roar
Find peace within the dark
