Lyrics
In Extremis
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.
Prisms will deceive you when you start to fade, do not fear
Prison, no longer strangled by the rules of the game, who's to blame
Rainbows, they only laugh when you cry
Lighting has struck you not once but twice
Warfare, it will subside when you are blind
Love's within your reach and there's no time
By my side, come closer if you can, I'm near the end
Say goodbye, I'll still be listening, don't you cry
A silent room with solitude
Playing your final hand
With nothing more that they can do
Do you know where you stand
When you are forced, forced to move on
Nothing can break you, nothing can break you again
Terror, a haunting gaze no one can seem to break, time draws near
Clearer, you right the wrongs before you reach the gates, can't escape
Rainbows, they only laugh when you cry
Lighting has struck you not once but twice
Warfare, it will subside when you are blind
Love's within your reach and there's no time
By my side, come closer if you can, I'm near the end
Say goodbye, I'll still be listening, don't you cry
Time to fly
