"The Dark Sentencer" lyrics - COHEED AND CAMBRIA
It begins with them, but ends with me
Their son, Vaxis
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 run for good measure
In the answer you hold
Time would be better off if our souls had been sold
Here, where the light only dies to remember
In 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
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
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
Here, where the light only dies to remember
In 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
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
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
You may, rest inside, the night
You can't save, what the sleep, implies
It's a shame, I fear, for men to start
We walk their lines, all to play the fucking part
A shame, I fear, for men to start
We walk their lines, all to play the fucking part
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
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
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
(Hey! Hey! Hey!)
Welcome home (Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!)
(Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!)
Welcome home (Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!)
(Hey! Hey! Hey!)
