Was

[Intro]
They always come crawling back
Whatever walks there walks alone

[Interlude]
How they thought that there were other dimensions
You know, other, other worlds
All around us, and how they wanted to try and make, um
A window
You know, so they could look through and see what's on the other side
Well, maybe your window turned out to be a door, didn't it?
Not mine, those scientists'!
Oh, the scientists!
Yes, the scientists!
They must have ripped a hole open by accident, this other world came spilling through to ours
That's what Donaldson was saying to me right before he killed himself, I didn't understand the half of it
It ain't my fault!

[Chorus]
Only the dead know
Only the dead know

[Verse 1]
Tears in the fabric
Lurking in the shadows
In the doorways of unreality
He says his name is Death
The truth is, he is something worse

[Interlude]
Don't you know by now?
Don't you know the truth?
We are being punished
For what?
For going against the will of God!
For going against his forbidden rules of old!
Walking on the moon!
Yes! Yes!
Or, or splitting his atoms!
Amen!
Or, or, or stem cells and abortions!
And destroying the secrets of life
That only God above has any right to!
Amen! Amen!

[Chorus]
Only the dead know
Only the dead know

[Verse 2]
Experience the true reality
Beyond the curtain
Beyond all sight and sound
Consciousness collapsing all around us
This is the veil being lifted
They waited

[Bridge]
It comes
It comes in
It comes
It comes in waves
It comes
It comes in
It comes
It comes in waves
It comes
It comes in
It comes
It comes in waves

[Outro]
Wishing away the sand
Washing away all you love
The days of darkness
The absence of light
Washing away all you love
Breath of God
Gaze of the old
It comes in waves
