Cosmos Disease

Tucked away behind a black hole 
Inside the bleakness of dreaming 
Obsessed with the ticking of my watch 
Betrayed by the turning of your head 
Lured by the shining of promise 
Into a vortex of eternal tension 
Unresolved, unresolving, resolute 
I'm wrapped in the quilt of stars 

And after all I keep on living 
And after all I keep forgiving 

I've seen where the stars go to die 
Where truth is a serpent and justice a lie 

This sickness was all it took 
Even planets are suffering 
From cauldrons of astral plane 
Rising, intoxicating fumes 
Filling myself with the ashes 
Of an entire burning galaxy 
Washing myself in the blood 
Of a thousand, a thousand murdered kings 

And after all I keep on living 
And after all I keep forgiving 

I've seen where the stars go to die 
Where truth is a serpent and justice a lie 
Three-headed rescuer passes us by 
Blood never freezes and tears never dry 

Seen through the eye of a needle 
Spectrum, refracted eclipse 
Spinning meaning from symbols and shapes 
The great cosmic atrocity 
In the mystery of intellect 
In the writhings of chaos 
Gravity picks its victims 
All stories end too soon 

And after all I keep on living 
And after all I keep forgiving 

I've seen where the stars go to die 
Where truth is a serpent and justice a lie 
Three-headed rescuer passes us by 
Blood never freezes and tears never dry.
