Kingdom of the Worm

You remember
You remember me, yes
I remember what we are
I remember only scars
I remember only stars
I remember Hell and mother
I have seen the eye of God
Youth trust gone forever

See only the master, risen, risen
After all the silence, all of him laughing
After all the strangers, beaten, driven
Try to place all things in a certain rhythm

Do as the book told you, see the pages torn
Make the spell upon them in human form
So we come to call it, the great and awesome dance
Do you see before you, the kingdom of romance?

You remember
You remember his face
You remember what I am
I remember only weeping
I remember only sleeping
I remember tearing flesh
I can only taste the Devil
Your tears when you cry

Wasted with the children, singing just a hymn
You can hear them only crying, crying
After all the horses gallop to fathom
Try to feel under you, spine of the dragon

Do as you consider, writhe and spin alarm
Spell tricky magic, nails for your savior
So we bravely gather, though we moan with dread
Do you see before you, the kingdom of the dead?

Can I remember?
I remember you, no
Can I remember gold?
I remember silver eyes
I remember silver skies
I remember awesome pain
I can hear the horse in darkness
Only he dreams of glory

Standing at the edge of all, looking down at last
Can you see the others, running, running?
All the horses burning, sinking, dying
Do you feel destiny or are you lying?

Do what you were made for, all must endure
Soon the door closes for good or evil
Are you the ice queen or do you want to burn?
Here see before you, the kingdom of the worm, oh

Kingdom of romance
Kingdom of the dead
Kingdom of the worm
All men must suffer
