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
