Lyrics
Halo on Fire
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.
Obey, obey
Come, won't you stay?
Sincere, sincere
All ends in tears
Endure, endure
Thoughts most impure
Concede, concede
But both shall we bleed
Oh, halo on fire
The midnight knows it well
Fast, is desire
Creates another hell
I fear to turn on the light
For the darkness won't go away
Fast, is desire
Turn out the light
Halo on fire
Allure, allure
Sweetness obscure
Abide, abide
Secrets inside
Deprive, deprive
To feel so alive
Obey, obey
Just don't turn away
Oh, halo on fire
The midnight knows it well
Fast, is desire
Creates another hell
I fear to turn on the light
For the darkness won't go away
Fast, is desire
Turn out the light
Halo on fire
Prayers cannot get through
Return to sender
Unto which of you
Shall I surrender
Twisting in disguise
Dark resurrection
Lighting up the skies
Wicked perfection
Too dark to sleep
Can't slip away
Open or close
My eyes betray
Beyond the black
Come, won't you stay?
Hello darkness, say goodbye
Hello darkness, say goodbye
Hello darkness, say goodbye
