[Verse 1]
Let us refuse to wait till morning
Return the ghost from whence it came
A version of the forgery slipped through
Tampered with the facts and changed its name
[Chorus]
Yet every night has its consoling agents
Close your eyes and see
[Verse 2]
The emperor will ride without direction
Give us submission as a price
Salvation is hidden in the fire
Fall to your knees, devour the lies
[Chorus]
Yet every night has its consoling agents
Close your eyes and see
[Bridge]
Sovereign smoke is overcast
Free will wasn't meant to last
[Guitar Solo]
[Outro]
Hidden in a dream
Suffrage reigns
The changing, unshackled yearning
Once again, same refrain
Echo through the kingdom
Songs of love and death
Wounds of love and death
