[Verse 1]

It's a careless wind that carries me across the great divide

From the wretched underworld to the place where fear resides

Behind the line you hold, you can only hold so long

When you see my forked tongue and you hear my twisted song

[Verse 2]

My sign is the fire line, uncontrolled

My bitter ruthlessness is a beacon to behold

Like cancer growin', someday to die

Where the watеr's flowin', I'm gonna drain the river dry

[Chorus]

'Cause it's a poison drеam

Keeps me runnin' through the night

I'll take it all, and then some more

By the dawnin' of the sickly mornin' light

[Verse 3]

Burn through the midnight oil and the bridges I can't cross

Somehow, I'll find myself in everything you've lost

We've seen it all before, but it comes as no surprise

Just like reflections of the fire in your eyes

[Chorus]

It's a poison dream

Keeps me runnin' through the night

I'll take it all, and then some more

By the dawnin' of the sickly mornin' light

[Verse 4]

And when the work is done and the Devil's called his time

You'll feel a sterile breeze that blows through ashen pine

And you may ask yourself, "Where did the endgame lie?"

The question I might ask if I could stop to wonder why

[Chorus]

It's a poison dream

Keeps me runnin' through the night

I'll take it all, and then some more

By the dawnin' of the sickly mornin' light

It's a poison dream

Keeps me runnin' through the night

I'll take it all, and then some more

By the dawnin' of the sickly mornin' light
