The night has bitten to the core of me, It sinks it teeth in as this ship fades in the cold, Trembling as the walls will laugh and bleed, I'm never in reverie, but in black and gold Everybody tries to blame it on the give and take in The duality of life There's a dagger and it lingers in the mind's eye open To devils and the like They take me a long way down Dance upon the water, watch as the demons set afire, Hold the head below And choke as the heathens drown a while Darkness is swelling up all inside me, I'm reaching for the air. The night is tearing down the walls in me, I long for touches of nothing, everything goes black as I bleed, There's a dagger and it lingers in the mind's eye open To devils and the like They take me a long way down Dance upon the water, watch the demons set afire, Hold the head below and choke as the heathens drown a while.
