Heaven's Gaze (Radio Edit)

The poison needle tip is rising through my bed
And from the belfry rings the curse of the undead
The hangman lays the burlap sack over my head
And I can't catch my breath

The compass cracks with my reflection still within
The engine's choked with dust, I'm caught in a tailspin
I pray to no one in particular, forgive my sins
Still I can't keep from sinking

Heaven's gaze I turn away
Furrowed brow and sick with pain
Ruminate on wasted days
Fallow futures weave an endless maze

Separate and alone
I regret to the bone every moment I am shown
Like the poor Cherokee
Flayed and fixed to the wheel of a careless industry
But devastation of soul
Feeds the germination of a seed that you have sown

Roots start taking hold
As shoots tear through the mould
My mind flower unfolds

(I'm) Swimming upstream
(Love) For no reason
(Light) I can feel it
(Time) Got no meaning

The poison needle is a symptom of being
The compass in this place is shed of all meaning
The hangman lifts his cowl, a smile revealing
I see it is my own
