lyrics

You've balanced your head on a hole in time.
I chose ascension in the carnival of the vile.
All their heads are bowed in awe as they left us in the shade.
With a million voices the paradoxal promise made.

I am the one eyed king in the land of the blind.
And I won't go gently into that cold night.

"It's a close call but we made it", the captains sang from their sinking ships.
To the ocean floor they're fading and we're going along with it.
Why do they try to reach the surface when they refuse to breathe.

You've balanced your head on a hole in time.
I chose ascension in the carnival of the vile.
All their heads are bowed in awe as they left us in the shade.
With their million voices a paradoxal promise made
I am the one eyed king in the land of the blind.
And i won't go gently into that cold night.

It's a constant struggle, between the path that we choose and that which is layed out before us.
We maintain our story, written on a torn tapestry but still our history. Know it's ours to fix and it will take hours to fix and some of us will remain broken in the process.
I preach to you this truth but the fact is that i can't explain it, I can't deal with or handle it and i can not, cope.
