[Verse 1]

Night comes with a smell of murder

And shadows fall long on my trail

Such are the hazards of my craft

[Refrain]

All lights disperse

And the devil takes me down

[Verse 2]

There is panic in my fascination

Like soothing wine is my despair

Gracefully I fall to pieces

[Refrain]

Then lights disperse

And the devil takes me down

[Verse 3]

The gears keep turning

And the ropes stretch far

In this world of hopelessness

[Verse 4]

I have come a long way now

The fatal riddles beckon me

I have come a long way now

A leap from faith and gravity

[Verse 5]

I have come a long way now

To find the nest where treasures sleep

I have come a long way now

The fairest lies are hidden in the deep

[Bridge]

In the deep

[Verse 6]

There is vanity in my destruction

There is mockery in my ordeal

Indefinite is the course of my descent

[Refrain]

When lights disperse

And the devil takes me
