[Verse 1]
Night comes with a smell of murder
And shadows fall long on my trail
Such are the hazards of my craft
[Refrain]
All lights disperse
And the devil takes me down
[Verse 2]
There is panic in my fascination
Like soothing wine is my despair
Gracefully I fall to pieces
[Refrain]
Then lights disperse
And the devil takes me down
[Verse 3]
The gears keep turning
And the ropes stretch far
In this world of hopelessness
[Verse 4]
I have come a long way now
The fatal riddles beckon me
I have come a long way now
A leap from faith and gravity
[Verse 5]
I have come a long way now
To find the nest where treasures sleep
I have come a long way now
The fairest lies are hidden in the deep
[Bridge]
In the deep
[Verse 6]
There is vanity in my destruction
There is mockery in my ordeal
Indefinite is the course of my descent
[Refrain]
When lights disperse
And the devil takes me
