Dead King

I know they're all around,

They're waiting for my lungs

To breathe this cold thin air

But it's sulfur

With failure on my head

And guilt around my neck

My dreams are getting dark

But I'm used to

This vexing circle,

Suffocating circle of fire

Your silence speaks clear

Let the rain hang over noise and drown this safe place

Heal your state of mind just once more,

Wear your best cloak

Opened arms within the storm,

Pure and frail your wings of gold

Death glides inside your lines,

A straight on process

Just a second left to breathe,

Inhale sulfur

Clear out my mind, please tell me I'm alive

Like ghosts they roam far and wide behind your throne

You don't deserve this blinding hell

For every time that we've crawled dreaming to fly then falling

Let hollow vanish with smoke I'd be the flame if only you were here

Let the rain hang over noise and drown this safe place

Heal your state of mind just once more, wear your best cloak

Opened arms within the storm, pure and frail your wings of gold

My friend these streets I'll follow,

My friend you've paved with gold.

My friend these days my tought goes back to you

My friend, I've seen your wings unfold
