Diary of Dreams Rumours About Angels Lyrics

First there was darkness, then came the strangers.
They were a race as old as time itself. They had mastered the ultimate technology, the ability to alter physical reality by will alone. They called this ability Cunning.
But they were dying, their civilization was in decline, and so they abandoned their world seeking a cure for their own mortality. Their endless journey brought them to a small blue world in the farthest corner of the galaxy.
Our world.

I will plaster all you mortals with my dominating guts
I will torment revelations - I did never ask for much
I will taste the detonation while the Gemini's go wild
I'll absorb the human sigh, eradicate your dormant lie

Does it suck your b______ for milk, golden honey, dressed in silk
Does it feel your patient care in your dreadful glassy stare
or does it feel your true emotions in its scars and bruises burn
Do you really think your lies will tear open cloudy skies?

and I hear, rumours about angels
and I hear, rumours about angels.

Feel my fingers in your wound while my eyes ascend the gloom
Questions wasting all my time - I see your eyes detesting mine
Sick of a life you never had, e.dead.motion, you look so sad
I could care less if I'd like - I let you go into the night

Is my ignorance my fate, or is my love distorted hate
Is deliverance my mate or am I sleeping while awake
Is this place that we call home adorned by devastating foam
Am I mortal, am I god - Am I brighter than you thought?

and I hear, rumours about angels
and I hear, rumours about angels.

They say that I have shedded some blood
What's blood for, if not for shedding?
With my hopeful hand I split you full of glory
Dear god

I came for you.

I will never beg for mercy - I will never kiss your feet
I will never ask forgiveness and all of that I want to keep!
I will guide the blind in darkness though I cannot see myself
I will whisper in a deaf ear while I know you cannot speak

and I hear, rumours about angels
and I hear, rumours about angels.
and I hear, rumours about angels
and I hear, rumours about angels.

And I hear, rumours about angels.

"You are confused aren't you, frightened, but that's alright I can help you. "
"Who is this?"
"I am a doctor, you must listen to me, you have lost your memory. There was an experiment something went wrong, your memory was erased. Do you understand me?"
"No I don't understand, what the hell is going on here?"
Just listen. There are people coming for you even as we speak. You must not let them find you. You must leave now."
"Hello?"
