Blood and Gold

There is something I should know
Something hidden, locked away
Strange places I should go
And white faces meet my gaze

And I feel desire
Roaming through
These houses of leaves

Restless summer breaks its wings
Like a failed bird of prey (Murals painted in blood)
Every morning, you rose with the mist (Chants break the silence)
To reap, to laugh, to breathe, to have your way

For this, I was given shelter
On this vampire Sun
Now the war is won
And I'm made of this
This one fatal moment
No one left to greet the Reaper
Nowhere left to run

And I sense the flame (I sense the flame)
There are demons here
I promise you the end (I promise you the end)

And I will take you home (I'll take you home)
Far away from fear
Where you can sleep again (Where you can sleep again)

And I sense the flame (I sense the flame)
There are demons here
I promise you the end (I promise you the end)

And I will take you home (I'll take you home)
Through the ashes of a dream
Where you can sleep again (Where you can sleep again)

And I hear a howling (I hear the howling)
Roaming through
These houses of leaves (These houses of leaves)

Sun is down, start the fire
Unbeknownst to our lie
Every morning becomes day (Laid in graves of silence)
Take your paintings of saints
And this bitter masquerade
I will find another way
