[Verse 1]
As I slip away - thoughts rushing through me
Angelic call or a demon that's calling my name?
Enter the intrepid state
Enter beyond what is seen to the spiritual stream of the vacant

Somewhere in time we welcomed in the fall
Now in the distance I can see shining clear, our demise to be
We're not listening to ourselves
[Instrumental Fade-Out Outro]
