Desert rat cry me wolf

Shedding skin upon you lips

I pray

For the love of madness

for the hand that takes the grip

And we close our eyes

To forgive and forget

And we close our eyes

To forgive and forget

With bated breath for the kingdom come

With bated breath for the kingdom come



I build myself a brave asylum

And ask all the madmen to play host

And when the colours all fade away

It's time for us to give the ghost

Give up the ghost



And we close our eyes

To dream a while

And we close our eyes

To dream a while

Dream a while

With bated breath for the kingdom come

With bated breath for the kingdom come



And while we're talking in tongeus

Of animal behaviour

With a flick of the wrist you could've broken my heat

And done yourself a favour

And I cry in the heat

For the promised and given



The hand I once would trust

Now for the love of heaven

You won't see me

See me for dust



And we close our eyeas

To love again

And we close our eyes

To love again

Love again

With bated breath for the kingdom come

With bated breath for the kingdom come

With bated breath for the kingdom come

With bated breath for the kingdom come
