Remember how it all began

The apple and the fall of man

The price we paid

So the people say

Down the path of shame and let us dare

To bite the hand that fed us

Fairy tale, the moral end

Wheel of fortune, never turns again

Never turns again

The worst of it has come and gone

In the chaos of millennium

And the falling out

Of the doomsday crowd

Their last retreat is moving slow

They burn their bridges as they go

The heretic is beautified

Teach the harlot's child to smile

Rocked again by indecision

Should we make that small incision

Testify, to the bleeding heart inside

We cut, we scratched

We ran, and we slashed

And when he opened up at last

Found a cul de sac

Deepened black

Of smoke and ash

Deepened black

Smoke and ash

The wicked king of parody

Is kissing all his enemies

On the seventh day

On the seventh week

The tyrant's voice has softened now

But just for one forgiving hour

Before the rise of his

Iron fist again

Fist again

I've come tonight

I've come to know

The way we are the way we'll go

And to measure this

The width of the wide abyss

I've come to you in restless sleep

Were all your dreams turned bitter sweet

With voodoo doll philosophies

Day gloy holy trinities

The wicked raft that leaves the shore

Of ferries drunken souls a board

Pilgrims march to Compostela

Of visions of their saint in yellow

Follow deep in trance

Lost in a catatonic dance

Know no future

Damn the past

Blind war, ecstatic

To save their lives
