Journey of the Bone Wolves (Collision Devices Nocturnal)

Night fell so early that day
They had no time to prepare
Shadows caught them in mid step
Ignored their pain and despair

Some became part of the dark
Pulled in and broken apart
Leaving a silence behind
Lit by the shimmering stars

The bones
In their homes
In their homes

Darkened rooms
No one knows
No one knows

No one comes or goes
Comes or goes

Just the bones
Just the bones
All alone

The stars
Through the bars
Of the cage

Seem far
And impossibly
Faint

As if
Just a trick
Of their eyes

Overwhelmed
By the
Infinite sky

The wolves had slipped in
With the meek
No longer disguised
Or discreet
They walked among them
On the street
Unable to see
More than meat

Down there in the cold
Down there in the cold
Dreaming of the world
They were unable to hold

Down there in the cold
Down there in the cold
Remembering the secrets that
They swore they never told

Down there in the cold
Down there in the cold
Down there in the cold
Wondering how long has passed

Down there in the cold
Down there in the cold
Down there in the cold
As endless nights unfold

Did you try to escape
Or did you simply embrace
Things the way they are
Even as they fell apart

Did you believe the words
That you so often heard
Or did you just repeat
Whatever was certain to please please please

Down this other road
Is there a place to go
Far from all of the storms
That have been ravaging our homes

I just don't know
I just don't know

Down this other road
Will we finally see
A world we've never known
And days of peace

I just don't know
I just don't know
I just don't know
I just don't know
