[Verse 1]
I am the bent blade
I cut one at a time
My eyes are open
But you can't reach my mind
Temperance faded and
Edges serrated
I am the bent blade
I will make you mine
[Chorus]
When deep midnight buries day
We are lawless, so we say
Turn your eyes from all the frights that try to reach you
[Verse 2]
I am the bent blade
I cut one at a time
Naked at birth but
Well-dressed by demise
Ambition's wet gums are
Trembling on your neck
I am the bent blade
I will make you mine
[Chorus Variation]
When deep midnight buries day
We are lawless, so we say
When deep midnight buries day
A joy for which I have no name
Turn your eyes from all the frights that try to reach you
