Like Ants and Snakes
The fall, a story that’s been told Wandering haywire in thirst of His glory With a fire in mind and a heart stone cold With mind on fire and a heart stone cold Wandering 'round a funeral pyre Closed down forever are the gates of gold In thirst of His glory I douse my mind with blood of the angels In thirst of His glory I warm my heart in the embers of burned temples In thirst of His glory I douse my heart with the ashes of paradise In thirst of His glory I calm my mind in the absence of light

There is an empty space between faith and catatonic dream A blind spot on the map of our own private hearts No drug nor miracle could fill it Our Lord is gone Now, He is gone Faith drug miracle dream Our Lord is gone He's long gone now And we serve no one But unchained chaos And we dance, we dance in filth While the whole world is watching As we dance in pain Come and join us As we sing, we sing anthems of the fall For the world to hear An anthem rising from the filth A song of a horrid kind, besmeared with tears As we sing in pain Faith drug miracle dream Filth pain struggle dream

One thing you can learn from the stones Is to hold your breath a little longer until you find peace and tenderness In the company of the soil Another thing you can learn from the stones Is to keep your beloved close Like ants and snakes Others will come to you With the company of the soil Keep them far from the sun In moisture and mould On a pillow of moss On a bed of dirt Like ants and snakes

No dream is ever just a dream Nor is the dawn shelter like it seems I dip my flesh in a silver stream Cleanse the black night out from within The room felt darker than before In the absence of my very soul With a bitter aftertaste of life My tongue will bleed for evermore With an oak head crowned is my body A pitch black sight lays down before Two never-closing eyes My tongue will bleed for evermore I am the fire I am the arm

Do you see me as a madman Do you see me as insane While I sway around in silence And you hear no music strain Would you dance around with me Would you throw your mind away After all we're stuck in motion Our course in constant sway

I am a nowhere man Carving beauty out of abyss Partly focused on the pain Partly praise the nearing end You are a nowhere girl Carrying stones of the past In a pocket meant for dreams I know for sure they won’t last Each stone pitched into the abyss Each burden that you have thrown Is a part of our future Dream that’s voluntarily gone Each particle of dust Each breath that felt like a thorn Is a piece of our love Dream that ‘s voluntarily gone
