Lyrics

The Dark Sentencer

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

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
