Here we are so far away,
so far from where we began
The end
Forever and ever
The city's walls look high now,
but I will get us in without sin
With reason - With reason
You're all I need to convince them
Follow me, manifest our destiny
Enter this living hell where I fell
into a hole that was a part of me
Where I wish to return, to heal and learn
The saints and angels they spoke without saying a word
Envision a window again and again
Never look back over your shoulders, learn to begin again
We are part of history now
He who's calm is mad and insane
Don't ever - Don't ever forget or try to sever
This was the source of my power
This is the result of my reign for fame
With treason - With treason
I sought to deny their seasons
Follow me, manifest our destiny
Enter this living hell where I fell
into a hole that was a part of me
Where I wish to return, to heal and learn
The saints and angels they spoke without saying a word
Envision a window again and again
Never look back over your shoulders, learn to begin again
A humming din greets them
as they scale the wall and make their way
into a sterile stainless right-angled edged room
containing countless scores of domesticated lifeless forms
Berated, hated, shunned and scorned
A line of people gaunt and deranged
enters the chamber, a parade of strange
The tribe is astonished, cannot comprehend
Porcelain women and mannequin men
Those straight and narrow follow a course
not by willing, but by force
His thoughts soon wander - are they from my past?
Foregone and broken his ancient mask
I connect and sympathize
(Their hearts are dark without a spark
Fluorescent lightning blinding and stark)
With you, the one with lucid eyes
(Coaxial cables joined together
A seething mass separate)
Never I will wait for you and the key
(Tracked and traced and databased
Running in circles, inhumane race)
For you are the I in me
(Innocence lost but they're forgiven
Pawns in a game they were given)
