The Apocalypse Song
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.
Wait
I'll be swifter than the speed of light
Carbon my body a billion years of time
You wake with the stitches over both your eyes
And deny me my body and all earthly delights
It's time
You are light
I guess you are afraid of what everyone is made of
All your praying moments amount to just one breath
Please keep your victory
But give me little death
It's time
You are light
I guess you are afraid of what everyone is made of
So take to the streets with apocalypse refrain
Your devotion has the look of a lunatic's gaze
