[Intro]
It begins with them, but ends with me, their son, Vaxis
Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
[Verse 1]
Here, emotions behold
You've entered a Hell where the Devil is made of gold
Please, don’t run your mouth
The questions before have no place in this haunted house
Reveal your selfish pleasure
One more time 'round for good measure
In the answer you hold
Time would be better off if our souls had been sold
[Pre-Chorus]
Here where the light only dies to remember
In the place where the blind truly can see
Hear my voice, dearly departed, I beg on my knees
It’s been my pleasure to serve your disease
[Chorus]
Welcome home (Hey! Hey! Hey!)
Shed your skin and expose your bones (Hey! Hey! Hey!)
Take my hand (Hey! Hey! Hey!)
And follow us into the black (Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!)
So far that we can’t get back
[Verse 2]
Here, dig me a grave
And toss in the lives that you can’t be bothered to save
With their blood on your hands
You enjoy the sun while you shit in the purest sand
Kiss your lover with that filthy mouth
You fucking monster
Here as evil now gropes
It’s caught us off guard with its hands reaching for our throats
[Pre-Chorus]
Here where the light only dies to remember
In the place where the blind truly can see
Hear my voice, dearly departed, I beg on my knees
It’s been my pleasure to serve your disease
[Chorus]
Welcome home (Hey! Hey! Hey!)
Shed your skin and expose your bones (Hey! Hey! Hey!)
Take my hand (Hey! Hey! Hey!)
And follow us into the black (Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!)
So far that we can’t get back
[Instrumental]
[Bridge]
There’s no telling when the truth is clear, pay it no mind
Lines were drawn for us, for all sides
In the afterglow, echoes of time unfold
Give me your word, my dear, and promise you won’t let go
(All you believe is not made up
All you can see is here in front of your eyes)
It’s a shame, I fear, from end to start
We walked their lines, born to play the fucking part
A shame, I fear, from end to start
We walked their lines, born to play the fucking part
[Verse 3]
I fear we've got all we had wanted
Close your eyes and believe it didn’t happen
Now shut your mouth beyond your lies
The world knows to stay away from you
In the blood you let run, they march as you lead
We laugh in the sun, maybe that’s all we need
I, and I, and I’m sorry
You can’t escape
(All you believe is not made up)
[Pre-Chorus]
Here where the light only dies to remember
A place where the blind truly can see
Hear my voice, dearly departed, I beg on my knees
It’s been my pleasure to serve your disease
[Chorus]
Welcome home (Hey! Hey! Hey!)
Shed your skin and expose your bones (Hey! Hey! Hey!)
Take my hand (Hey! Hey! Hey!)
And follow us into the black (Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!)
So far that we can’t get back
[Outro]
(Hey! Hey! Hey!)
Welcome home (Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!)
(Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!)
Welcome home (Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!)
(Hey! Hey! Hey!)

Years ago, chaos cut through this atmosphere. The fractured worlds that inhabit this space were once locked in a force of uncontrollable destruction. Gravity was lost. Their planetary trajectories conjoined in one catastrophic collision, choking...
