Shadows lay across the ground like the dead Waiting to rise and fulfill what they couldn’t live And you can hear them in the whispers of the wind Their words slowly decay just like the corpse that lies within the dirt We’ll fiercely battle death for more time When in our reflecting glass we stare a stranger in the eye You see this penance for our sin has only drained us of our lives But we move on As I lay me down to sleep I pray that my soul is in good keeping As I plunge into the deep I pray for a heaven to wake up in As the echoes fade in a sea of sound I pray that you’re listening As the darkness falls swiftly all around I pray someday you’ll find me As the echoes fade in a sea of sound I pray that you’re listening As the darkness falls swiftly all around I pray that you’ll see again You keep your chest hollow to keep your mind fed You’re skipping ‘cross graves you’re dancing with the dead You’re wearing thin and soon you’ll be gone

So could I sit my father’s throne if I were offered? If I were needed? If I thought he was done? And could I mend the crumbling walls of his sovereign? Or keep his promise when I can’t keep my own? Well no. I think I’m better off here wandering aimlessly in this haggard skin No I’m not fit to lead my brother; I’m splintered wood in the eyes of my closest kin So would it take another stone for me to stumble? Maybe a small branch? Perhaps a pile of dung? This path has gotten overgrown; I think I’ve lost the direction So I’ll just make my own And if that road should lead me home oh I could prosper I could laugh there; maybe I’ll have a son But if that road should lead into a den of lions Oh I’d be eaten for the wrongs I’ve done I’ll make my peace now cause there are tyrants standing whichever way I go And they’ve got honey dripping from their lips to entice you down their throats When blood and water mix to finalize the absence of my breath I’ll take a moment to notice there’s nothing left to get me So now that it’s over I can breathe cause they can’t get me You can’t get me
