[Intro]

Blind be spirit-core with its lies


[Verse 1]

Burned as bright as a rocket, all falsehoods set alight

Flame raised in shame on a speedier course

And who's to blame for breaking its own

Self-inflicted graceless home?

Blind be spirit-core, with its lies


[Verse 2]

A misty veil hides a pitiful vengeance born to sail on

All of the seas and to never return

It needs to take some beauty sleep

Deep in the oceans and obsolete

Kindly spears core with its penknife


[Chorus]

Blind be spirit lost again, and dust in eyes

Heavy heads get buried deeper

Sand in scratching naked eyes

Lost again in a lie all dreadful, oh yeah!


[Verse 3]

When truth looks like a lie in a different way and kept alive

And bound by bad chains in a beautiful cage, inside is fear

And stable minds always forever questioning stubborn you

Befriending your tears and in a different way

The need to take some beauty sleep

Deep in the ocean is obsolete

Blind be spirit-core, with its lies


[Chorus]

Sand in scratching naked eyes

Lost again in a seasick land all weepier

Blast me silence and hurt me ears and blast again

With a rifle all dreadful, oh yeah!

Blind be spirit

Dust in eyes heavy heads get deep and─


[Bridge]

Stamina me, stamina me, stamina me

Stamina me, stamina me, stamina me

Stamina me, stamina me, stamina me

Truth looks like a lie, was held it out to him

Who shook the tree viciously for love!

Love!

Love!

Love!


[Chorus]

Blind be spirit lost again, dust in eyes

Heavy heads get buried deeper

Sand in scratching naked eyes

Lost again in a seasick land all weepier

Blast me silence, and blast again

With a rifle all dreadful, oh yeah!

Belly-eyed bleeder all terminal, deceive, you fibber of the order

Come swimming up a shape with a stinging tail

La la la la la la la la la la la la
