At the breaking of dawn the mind returns erosion
The return of the phase and the dreadful non-indulgent
I see you walking away,
Walking away the seed sown deep within
And the frown on your face
Tells the emptiness placed on you once again

You ask the vampires to have their way,
On this darkening dreadful day
And the righteous will light your fire
To burn your misery and stoke your cries
With your subtle, thrashing, rancid growl
The madness will return somehow
I'd love to stay but you should be dead by now

With a twist of your wrist and the smile on your lips
Is the mission really over?
As the grey in your brain collapses and drains
To an absolute disorder
I see you fading away, fading away the inception of revenge
And the patience you waste on this vulnerable place
Had you shed your second skin

You ask the vampires to have their way
On this darkening dreadful day
And the righteous will light your fire
To burn your misery and stoke your cries
With your subtle, thrashing, rancid growl
The madness will return somehow
I'd love to stay but you should be dead by now

You should be dead by now
You should be dead by now

They draw up cuff and fold you
You await your private saint
All perfect words spilled for you
A connection bound by fate

You ask the vampires to have their way
On this darkening dreadful day
And the righteous will light your fire
To burn your misery and stoke your cries
With your subtle, thrashing, rancid growl
The madness will return somehow
I'd love to stay but you should be dead by now

You should be dead by now
You should be dead by now
