Lyrics
Sinistereo
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.
Now come thoughts that you shall not banish
Secret fears, visions never to vanish
Crawling shapes now come writhing out
To cast their shadows over this human rout
You set yourself on fire
You set yourself on fire
You set yourself on fire
Breath of our breath with no blood or bone
Never grows weary, never grows old
Mutters and mumbles in infinite ways
Ever the tyrant to the willing slaves
You set yourself on fire
You set yourself on fire
You set yourself on fire
Much of madness and more of sin
No government of this vast, formless thing
You set yourself on fire
You set yourself on fire
You set yourself on fire
You set yourself on fire
