i still await
i still await my turn
it’s a beautiful lie we tell
i still await
i still await my fall
into the lion’s den
(screams)
i’m still awake
your breath haunts my fall
we crash through the earth into hell
i heed your call
(you) say you’ll catch my fall
in a mouth full of lies we burn
(screams)
my queen awaits
begs me to take my throne
inside the fire we —
dance on our bones
watch as our flesh burns whole
in this beautiful lie we burn
(screams / chants)

my baroness

i made a promise i can’t keep
you’re too late, to ask to redeem
you long for someone to hold
i can’t lie but cannot let go
i made a promise to you
the last to know is the first to abuse
i made a lie into a myth
the last to follow is the first to accuse
we are fallen
praying the rest follow soon
laying broken
our wings ripped from us, too
i made a promise to you
lest you think that i would refuse
you want something your own
someone to hold at night all alone
we are fallen
praying the rest follow soon
laying broken
our wings ripped from us, too
we are falling
can you hear the dark too?
we have fallen
in the fire we (are) consumed
pray to find
run to hide
raise your eyes
HIGH
pray to find
run to hide
raise your eyes
HIGH (higher)
pray to find (we)
run to hide (fall)
raise your eyes (down)
HIGH (higher)
pray to find (we)
run to hide (fall)
raise your eyes (down)
HIGH (higher)
pray to find (we)
run to hide (fall)
raise your eyes (down)
HIGH (higher)
pray to find (we)
run to hide (fall)
raise your eyes (down)
HIGH (higher)

papa said
one day i’d see
the kind of man that i’d become
papa said
one day i’d see
the plan he set out for me
my son where are you now?
father i can’t be found!
papa said
one day i’d see
the wise man that was guiding me
hear me. you won’t.
fear me. you don’t.
my son where are you now?
father i can’t be found!
my son where are you now?
i’m here all alone
father please
look at me
and see the man i worked to be
my son where are you now?
old man you’re left behind
you chose this path below
and alone i will go.

tattoo you

this isn’t where we started
but this is where we end
prayer for the broken hearted
who lost their wings today
“you should’ve found a way”
“we could have turned around”
you gave no choice to walk away
and hide somewhere i can’t be found
i tattoo you on my mind
that way i know where to find you on my own
days gone
hiding too long
hide it from you (hiding from you)
hiding your wrongs
is it too late to fall away?
i don’t want to be the one to find you.
i don’t know what to say…
bit i know all the ways to go on hiding.
you could’ve stayed silent
but then you turned around
now we’re stuck here fighting
this is where we end.
i tattoo you on my mind
that way i know where to find you on my own…
days gone
hiding too long
hide it from you (hiding from you)
hiding your wrongs
our days gone
hiding too long
hiding from you
hiding you’re wrong.
