The Witching Hour

And so it all comes down to this
It all builds up to now
Saw none of it coming
But I don't know how

This is the only way
It could have ended
We reached our finale
Sooner than expected

(In the witching hour)

What more can we do?
We've tried all that we can
While you place the blame
Squarely in the victim's hands
Watching us fall further
Than we could before
Stubbornly saying
"You got what you wished for"

In the witching hour we turn to dust in front of you
We recollect the pieces and from them are born anew
In spite of all the good we've done, we are the monsters' prey
You shun the horrors we've become and turn your heads away

It's been like this
As far as we remember
Choking on smoke
Stepping barefoot on embers
In our paper fortress
We wait until nightfall
The time when our mistakes
Burn what's left of our paper walls

[Chorus]

We put our endings
Before our beginnings
But nobody's told us
Just what we are winning
We fight with our lives
Till we don't even have those
We fight with all we have
But still nobody knows

In the witching hour we turned to dust in front of you
The pieces all were trampled, now there's one thing left to do
In spite of all the good we've done, we were the monsters' prey
You shun the horrors we've become and turn your heads away
