Tunes from the void

You’re inside; gold light


Repeating prayers


Burning my flesh, until the sun sets

I came from afar, yes I fell from a star

It was painted on the walls; the sin and the fall


I had nowhere to crawl to

when she came. 

She took the keys past bars 

and brought me out back, 

where the river runs red


Excelsior, excelsior! 

My destiny will end!


Now you’ve nowhere to hide

I let the sun rise inside

Your shadow, your frame

I watch it tremble and shake


I will take your name

I will take your way

Until your presence will fade


Unimaginable pain, accumulating weight

They all feel the same

They all feel the same
