The Tongue

The voice says: Don't follow the lights
Let the night time cover your eyes!
Take my hand and we'll burn together
I'm the herald of a stormy weather!
The voice says: You'll be sacrificed
For we're all just sides of a dice!
Take my hand and we'll burn together
'Cause I'm the herald of a stormy weather!
Shadows gather in the mind!
Bury the hopes, the wish and the pain
Bury the hopes, the wish and the pain
The voice says don't follow the lights
Let the night time cover your eyes!
Take my hand and we'll burn together
I'm the herald of a stormy weather!
Shadows gather in the mind!
Bury the hopes, the wish and the pain
Bury the hopes, the wish and the pain
The tongue licks the mark on my arm
Waiting for salvation to come
Waiting for salvation to come
Shadows gather in the mind!
Bury the hopes, the wish and the pain
Bury the hopes, the wish and the pain
The wish and the pain!
