Lyrics
Deus In Absentia
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.
In this your time of need
You're turning to the light
You had just begun to explore the dark
In the urban night
The world is on fire
And you are here to stay and burn with me
Our funeral pyre
And we are here to revel forevermore
You're so goddamn frail
Failing for a change
You just had to know all about the world
But you will never know
'Cause no one ever told you how
The world is on fire
And you are here to stay and burn with me
A funeral pyre
And we are here to revel forever
The world is on fire
And we are tied as one eternally
Our funeral pyre
And we are here to revel forevermore
All of your imaginations
Are now running down your face
All of your imaginations
Are now running down your face
Oh, you are looking good
Payback in disgrace
And you're doing fine worshipping your lord
Standing in his grace
'Cause no one ever told you how
The world is on fire
And you are here to stay and burn with me
A funeral pyre
And we are here to revel forever
The world is on fire
And we are tied as one eternally
A funeral pyre
And we are here to revel forever more
