Lyrics
The Dap Dip
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.
Cold nights, dark days
Love moves in mysterious ways
It's so sweet like a mother's tongue
Whose symphony protects her young
But that's truth, ain't what it seems
'Cause you and I have different dreams
You rise up but you never learn
As we try to shake this sleep that burns
The darkness screams its icy breath
As daylight dies a thousand deaths
Kings of oblivion, deadly and divine solution
Kings of oblivion, welcome to my revolution
Reach out to the past
We blame the victim first and last
Blind faith got you and me
Running like a refugee
We fall out and into the streets
To wash the blood out of the sheets
And your pain, it flows like wine
As my subconscious reaps your mind
I stretch to kiss the burning sky
And watch the waking beauty cry
Kings of oblivion, deadly and divine solution
Kings of oblivion, welcome to my revolution
Is it such a crime to watch the sunset for the last time
Until we meet again? Goodbye, farewell, amen
Cold nights, dark days
Love moves in mysterious ways
We rise up but you'll never learn
As we try to shake this sleep that burns
The darkness screams its icy breath
As daylight dies a thousand deaths
Kings of oblivion, deadly and divine solution
Kings of oblivion, welcome to my revolution
Kings of oblivion, deadly and divine solution
Kings of oblivion, welcome to my revolution
