Lyrics Pitch Black Prism - Arch / Matheos

Pitch Black Prism

A forbidden road to nowhere
The strays and shadows often wander alone
Through an un-enchanted forest
The abandoned ruins on the hill there
Still she waits for you, painted eyes ashen blue
Tiny dancer all her dreams were tainted
By a poison invisible, still she danced a perfect tragedy
Fall from grace, her fractured porcelain face
She was the immolation sent away
To raise the spirits of the dying
Did you feel betrayed, were you dreaming
Of a wheel in the sky where you touched the clouds
Laughed and cried?
Did you feel alone, were you drifting
Though those dead doll eyes, fading away
Through a pitch black prism?
Her iridescent silken hair spirals through the air
Like cattails swirling in the autumn winds
Falling gently to the mine
Children in the fields they gather flowers wilting away
As an empathetic requiem
And the music falls silent
She did not cry, she didn’t dare
A the musing turned fantasia
Unraveling all her fears
Did you feel alone, were you drifting
Through those dead doll eyes, fading away
Through a pitch black prism?
Through those dead doll eyes, fading away
Through a pitch black prism
Through those dead doll eyes, fading away
Fading away
Shine on Chernobyl doll, dance your last dance
The children they mustn’t know they are never going home
Radiant child bow in quiet repose
A dying swan lying in a bed of primrose
Irradiated flames they burn a cold, cold hellfire
Beyond the Iron Curtain falling empire
Takes secrets to the grave
What did they know before the afterglow?
A conspiracy to save their own
They know all roads lead to Moscow
Perilous flight of song-less bird
That could see over the horizon
Was blinded by the northern lights
And flew into the sun
Dying Chernobyl doll, dance your last dance
Soon they all will know they are never going home
Radiant child standing in the poison rain
All too well she knows this will never be her home again
Did you feel betrayed, were you dreaming
Of a wheel in the sky where you touched the clouds
Laughed and cried?
Did you feel alone, were you drifting
Though those dead doll eyes, fading away?
Through a pitch black prism
Though those dead doll eyes, fading away
Through a pitch black prism
Through those dead doll eyes, fading away
Fading away
