The Witch's Heart

(He survived, but

his destiny burned off in the blast

Disillusion tore

off his wings, and when he stepped outside

Into childhood's

end, and the moon was so bright

It looked like a

white hole punched through the cape of night

But from that

moment forth a moon was just a moon and a star was just a star

And nothing more...

And the morning came,

and the sun did rise

But he was trapped in

the corridors where it spent the night

And he could not, or

he would not hear our cries -- ) So take everything,

break everything, fake everything, fuck everything

It's all nothing if

you want, but that's not what I want

I'd give anything to

see you feel again once more

Stand alone

Beside you

Listening for a sign

of life from inside of you

Suffering some gift of

god

Pursuing, hunting you

Yes, life is sour when

you hit the ground

Moments wasted, loves

gone foul

However sweet the

fruit, the prickly skin, the bitter core

And nausea for desert

So fuck everything,

take everything, fake everything, break everything

When you've been

broken, when you've brought low

You want to smash

everything, those who still care most of all

And I can see the

witches, burning in your eyes

But they're not the

ones who sold you these lies

We're not the ones who

bound your hands and turned the spears in your side May the kings all

drown in the blood of their conquests

And the flags all

die at the tops of their poles

May the gluttons be

impaled upon the ribs of the starving

And the priests all

sell their souls

May the dreamers

all awaken in a world that is empty

May the lovers

betray and be betrayed

May the poets all

choke on their own sweet lies

And all bow before

their fates

May the seekers

wander lost through the valleys and the deserts

And lay down to

sleep upon stones

May the sick

flourish and the healthy be afflicted

And may rats fight

over the bones

May hate rule

pitilessly over a world of the damned

Where the rivers

cease to run

Let the sun set

forever on this broken heartland

Let the kingdom

come (Bring me hearts -

I'll break them

Give me poisons - I'll

take them

If I could

If I could

Trade this ache

For indifference

All fucked up

With bitterness

All fucked up) Yeah take everything,

fake everything, break everything, fuck everything

Heart as black as the

sun

One the day that will

come when it never ever rises again

And where do you go

when you've lose your way

Inside, and everywhere

you turn it's all the same

Where do you go when

there's nowhere to go

You froze in your

tracks, something broke and you

Gave up

And it makes me want

to cry

An ocean of tears to

flow through these filthy streets

Stained with so many

years

Of smothered hopes and

desires denied

The faceless masses,

paralyzed

To drown all we are,

all we've ever been

Better cease to exist

than to endure like this

And set you free

You and all your kind

To be free in death if

not in life

But the rest is

secrets, silence now

If night has fallen,

sleep well

The rest is

silence, secrets now

If night has

fallen, sleep well

Sleep well
