Lyrics

0:03Remember how it all began
0:05The apple and the fall of man
0:08The price we paid
0:11So the people say
0:15Down a path of shame
0:17It lead us dared to bite the hand
0:20That fed us the fairy tale
0:23The moral end
0:25The wheel of fortune
0:26Never turns again
0:37Never turns again
0:49The worst of it has come and gone
0:52In the chaos of millennium
0:55In the falling out
0:57Of the doomsday crowd
1:01Their last retreat is moving slow
1:04They burn their bridges as they go
1:07The heretic is beatified
1:12Teach the harlot's child
1:14To smile
1:37Wracked again by indecision
1:40Should we make that small incision
1:43Testify to the bleeding heart inside
1:49We cut we scratched
1:50We rent we slashed
1:52And when he opened up at last
1:55Found a cul de sac
1:57Deep and black
2:00Of smoke and ash
2:12Deep and black
2:14Of smoke and ash
2:26The wicked king of parody
2:29Is kissing all his enemies
2:32On the seventh day
2:36Of the seventh week
2:39The tyrant's voice is softer now
2:42But just for one forgiving hour
2:45Before the rise of his
2:50Iron fist again
3:02Fist again
3:52I've come tonight
3:53I've come to know
3:55The way we are
3:56The way we'll go
3:58And to measure this
4:01The width of the wide abyss
4:05I come to you in restless sleep
4:08Where all your dreams
4:10Turn bitter sweet
4:11With voodoo doll philosophies
4:16And day glo holy trinities
4:19The crooked raft that leaves the shore
4:23Ferries drunken souls aboard
4:25Pilgrims march to Compestela
4:28Visions of their saint in yellow
4:32Follow deep in trance
4:34Lost in a catatonic dance
4:37Know no future
4:38D**n the past
4:40Blind warm ecstatic
4:42Safe at last
Remember how it all began
The apple and the fall of man
The price we paid
So the people say
Down a path of shame
It lead us dared to bite the hand
That fed us the fairy tale
The moral end
The wheel of fortune
Never turns again
Never turns again
The worst of it has come and gone
In the chaos of millennium
In the falling out
Of the doomsday crowd
Their last retreat is moving slow
They burn their bridges as they go
The heretic is beatified
Teach the harlot's child
To smile
Wracked again by indecision
Should we make that small incision
Testify to the bleeding heart inside
We cut we scratched
We rent we slashed
And when he opened up at last
Found a cul de sac
Deep and black
Of smoke and ash
Deep and black
Of smoke and ash
The wicked king of parody
Is kissing all his enemies
On the seventh day
Of the seventh week
The tyrant's voice is softer now
But just for one forgiving hour
Before the rise of his
Iron fist again
Fist again
I've come tonight
I've come to know
The way we are
The way we'll go
And to measure this
The width of the wide abyss
I come to you in restless sleep
Where all your dreams
Turn bitter sweet
With voodoo doll philosophies
And day glo holy trinities
The crooked raft that leaves the shore
Ferries drunken souls aboard
Pilgrims march to Compestela
Visions of their saint in yellow
Follow deep in trance
Lost in a catatonic dance
Know no future
D**n the past
Blind warm ecstatic
Safe at last
