Know now there is no time, space
Between the well and unknowing
Our story starts there
Well into our future, yet far beyond our past
In a romance between a pair of unheavenly creatures
The five houses of the star supremacy
Have privatized the detention zones of the galaxy
These planetary prison pits were assembled
From the cracked worlds of the great crash
Which brings us to our stage
With a light we must learn to love
The black
The dark sentencer
It begins with them, but ends with me
Their son
Vaxis
Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
Here, emotions be whole
You've entered a hell where the devil is made of gold
Please, don't run your mouth
The questions before have no place in this haunted house
Reveal your selfish pleasure
One more time 'round for good measure
In the answer you hold
Time would be better off if our souls had been sold
Here where the light only dies to remember
In a place where the blind truly can see
Hear my voice, dearly departed
I'll beg on my knees
It's been my pleasure
To serve your disease
Welcome home
Shed your skin and expose your bones
Take my hand
And follow us into the black
So far that we can't get back
Here, dig me a grave
And toss in the lives that you can't be bothered to save
With their blood on your hands
You enjoy the sun while you shit in purest sand
Kiss your lover with that filthy mouth, you fucking monster
Here, his evil now gropes
It's caught us off guard with its hands reaching for our throats
Here where the light only dies to remember
In a place where the blind truly can see
Hear my voice, dearly departed
I'll beg on my knees
It's been my pleasure
To serve your disease
Welcome home
Shed your skin and expose your bones
Take my hand
And follow us into the black
So far that we can't get back
There's no telling when the truth is clear
Pay it no mind
Lines were drawn for us
For all sight
In the afterglow
Echoes of time unfold
Give me your word, my dear
And promise you won't let go
It's a shame, I fear
For men to start
We walk their lines
Born to play the fucking part
A shame, I fear
For men to start
We walk their lines
Born to play the fucking part
I fear we've got all we had wanted
Close your eyes and believe
It didn't happen
Now shut your mouth
Beyond your lies
The world knows to stay away from you
And the blood you let run
They march as you lead
We laugh in the sun
Maybe that's all we need
I
And I
And I'm sorry
You can't escape
Here where the light only dies to remember
A place where the blind truly can see
Hear my voice, dearly departed
I'll beg on my knees
It's been my pleasure
To serve your disease
Welcome home
Shed your skin and expose your bones
Take my hand
And follow us into the black
So far that we can't get back
Welcome home
Welcome home
