Cocoon

Scratching the black walls
Yearning for a flicker
A cloak over his face
And a dagger in his side

Gazing through closed eyes
Blinded by the shadows
The curse of the pupa
Consumed by the cocoon

Bound by silken chains
Inside the silken cage

[Guitar Solo]

Bound by silken chains
Inside the silken cage

Predisposed to embrace the shadows
Susceptible to the silken lies
Oblivious to the lies before him
Insensible to the curse of the cocoon

The shadows on the wall
Trapped in the pupa
Staring through the ether
The tethered moth's song
The serenade of the afterglow
Blinded by the shadows

The shadows on the wall
Trapped in the pupa
Lost in a state of reverie
The tethered moth's song
The serenade of the afterglow
Blinded by shadows

[Instrumental]

Held down by the clutch of the cocoon
Trapped inside the wretched silken cage

Predisposed to embrace the shadows
Susceptible to the silken lies
Oblivious to the lies before him
And the curse of the cocoon

The shadows on the wall
Trapped in the pupa
Staring through the ether
The tethered moth's song
The serenade of the afterglow
Blinded by the shadows

The shadows on the wall
Trapped in the pupa
Lost in a state of reverie
The tethered moth's song
The serenade of the afterglow
Lost in a state of pupa(?)
