The Archetypal Man (Remastered)
Fleeter even than mercury
He flies inside the walls he calls his own
He came hidin', but now I see
He looks like everyone I've ever known
He comes bearin' a sacrifice
I know him by the rose that's in his hand
I've been listenin' to his advice
I hear the words, but I can't understand
His moon mirage is shinin'
Shiftin' the things that he can't endure
But, all through the darkness, his pain is pure
Fleeter even than mercury
He flies inside the walls he calls his own
He came hidin', but now I see
He looks like everyone I've ever known
He comes bearin' a sacrifice
I know him by the rose that's in his hand
I've been listenin' to his advice
I hear the words, but I can't understand
His moon mirage is shinin'
Through his veins, flows a fool's gold flood
But, through the rose in his hand, flows blood
He flies inside the walls he calls his own
He came hidin', but now I see
He looks like everyone I've ever known
He comes bearin' a sacrifice
I know him by the rose that's in his hand
I've been listenin' to his advice
I hear the words, but I can't understand
His moon mirage is shinin'
Shiftin' the things that he can't endure
But, all through the darkness, his pain is pure
Fleeter even than mercury
He flies inside the walls he calls his own
He came hidin', but now I see
He looks like everyone I've ever known
He comes bearin' a sacrifice
I know him by the rose that's in his hand
I've been listenin' to his advice
I hear the words, but I can't understand
His moon mirage is shinin'
Through his veins, flows a fool's gold flood
But, through the rose in his hand, flows blood
