Moonlapse Vertigo Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Kept warm by the light of the lantern
Lost sight of everything tonight
My presence blackens their pattern
A pock in the healthy and calm
[Verse 2]
Their scorn behind your back
My promise would put them down
No trace of reverence left
Immemorial fire in their eyes
[Verse 3]
I would perish at the given signal
At the slightest touch from my soul
Tainted prophet in flesh
For all the plagued and lost
[Verse 4]
Dripping sin, decision in stalemate
Dare to feel death at hand
Surprised me with its voice
Through the forest came the morn
[Verse 5]
Across the leafy pathway, their deeds smeared in blood
For all to behold the Council of the Cross
Must have sensed my coming, the pest through the air
With despise for squalor lashing out at the poor
[Verse 6]
I turned away my eyes
In pallor escape from the end
Fading time to leave from here
And less to fulfill my task
She would be safe and firm
Nothing of this is in vain
Taken away from stifling grace
And saved from the past
