[Verse 1] I live to awake you
You son of time
As soon as I see you
You draw the line
Through chambers of delusions
Your nurturing shadow
You give me closure and shelter in fire

A keeper of our needs
To wallow in secrets
You hold no dignities
And redeem the speechless

[Pre-Chorus] Prey on my mind
Tell me I'm there
To rejoice in my misery
Take my side, let me find
The abyss that I've faithfully designed

[Verse 2] The world is a snake and thou tongue is vile
It swallows your guilt, but then you die
I'd rather speak with the phantom inside

[Chorus:] I dream of dominions I once used to roam in need
(Now ruptured and sunken)
The surface still bleeding but I'll just pretend that I have seen
(A world beyond)
The night is still cold (The night is still cold)
And I'm still deceived, but in the phantom I believe

[Bridge] I live to awake you
You son of time
As soon as I see you
You draw the line

[Guitar Solo] [Chorus]
