[Verse 1]

Here, gibbering alone... oh the earth and heavens

They so tire me, tomorrow's dreams encased in a velvet sanctuary

This crumbled throne of worldly gain

Glory forgotten, just nothing remains


[Chorus]

We've come too far

We are so close

One soul, inside

One forever weeping


[Verse 2]

As the vain morning dawns all life fades away

You can take me now, beyond the violet veil

And whatever flames the nights in these deeds I've done

In fate's control, at last my time has come


[Chorus]

We've come too far

We are so close

One soul, inside

One forever weeping


[Bridge]

Death is death, the little host that squirms

Smell the dark - the coffin closed

And I so soft - ooh so soft

No movement and no breath

No ears, no nose - no eyes

Death is death

In sepulchre -

No sight, no sound, no cry

And always...

Always... death is death - yeah! (Alive again)


[Verse 3]

Eeaergh - damp skin in greying sheets

Decaying bed absorbing me

Bleached white ceiling above -

Dehydrating visions of love


[Verse 4]

Vitality slides back down the walls

Saturating the velvet floor

Numbness writhes in all I adore

Wasting here, can't see the door...


[Chorus]

We've come too far

We are so close

One soul, inside

One forever weeping


[Bridge]

Pain!


[Verse 5]

Well, take me now

Outshine for death

And made me bound

From this bite of lead

Ooh


[Outro]

We've made the draw[?]

Yeah
