| You and I drifting under shifting tides
|
| Keep holding on to tomorrow, we’ll see the sunrise
|
| You and I till the end of all our days
|
| Still here we are alive and well and we’re waiting
|
| Under vermilion moons
|
| Twisted roots blind their souls to the heavens
|
| The hands of fate keep one foot in the grave
|
| Blood red skies are bleeding from tired eyes
|
| Fire and brimstone a world set ablaze
|
| High on a hill below the here and the after
|
| Self anointed preaching to the choir
|
| Exultations and armies of rapture
|
| It’s heaven or hell, tell me who is your master
|
| And they bow and they pray, they confess
|
| The mortals chasing angels
|
| Fly to the ends of the afterworld
|
| Faithful eyes held to the skies
|
| And still they wait for you
|
| The ghosts of the prophets buried under cathedrals
|
| Vaulted spires erect to Elysium
|
| Gilded are the tongues and the Ark of the Covenant
|
| The Dead Sea Scrolls and for whom the bell tolls
|
| Riding through the night like rolling thunder
|
| Revelations 634
|
| Blind architects foresee Armageddon
|
| It’s the end of all days, divinely mandated genocide
|
| And they bow and they pray, they confess
|
| The mortals chasing angels
|
| Fly to the ends of the afterworld
|
| Faithful eyes held to the skies
|
| Still they wait for you
|
| While you and I drifting on the shifting tides
|
| Keep holding to tomorrow, we’ll see the sunrise
|
| You and I till the end of all our days
|
| Still here we are alive and well under vermilion moons
|
| Don’t look away, don’t ever
|
| Imagination’s innocence in this world won’t last forever
|
| Eyes wander from the cradle of wonder
|
| Awakes from a restless slumber
|
| Through a widow to the heavens
|
| Twilight to a dream
|
| Dreaming dreams before remembrance
|
| Wondering what holds up the sky
|
| Mother she embrace eternal, singing lullabies
|
| Slipping through little hands like painted butterflies
|
| Trying to catch the memories before they fly away
|
| Everything we are, foreshadowed and disguised
|
| Wistfully foreboding winter, innocence slowly dies
|
| Tracing outlines in the sands of yesterday
|
| Weary eyes look to the sky and wonder
|
| Beautiful simplicity dissolved with every written word
|
| Ethereal the sound of silence that we’re never heard
|
| The clay feet of the gods immortalized by every mortal hand
|
| Connate flaws send stone and mortar rumbling to the ground
|
| No stone we’ve left unturned reveals what we could never be
|
| Questions posed reveal more questions in deep seas of mystery
|
| It’s raining down illusions, drowning thunderous empty souls
|
| It’s raining but we’re dying, raining and we’re dying
|
| And they bow and they pray, they confess
|
| The mortals chasing angels
|
| Fly to the ends of the afterworld
|
| How long, how long must they wait for you?
|
| While you and I drifting on the shifting tides
|
| Keep holding to tomorrow, we’ll see the sunrise
|
| You and I till the end of all our days
|
| Still here we are alive and well under vermilion moons
|
| The ghosts of the prophets buried under cathedrals
|
| Testify, will you testify, testify
|
| Rolling through the night like rolling thunder
|
| Testify, will you testify, testify |
