lyrics

Hypnotic symbols open the door
Leaning back when you realise
Turning away from the stained wet floor
The reaper appears through blacked out eyes

Never thought I’d be in this place
The closer you get the further you go
Trying to find a way in or through
Demons sit, and so should you

Eyes roll back as you fall asleep
Into your mind, we walk slow
See a new world, but you’re still alone
Are you alive? Or are you letting go?

The monk arrives too late to help
Signs mislead the ones who tried
Crawling down the misty moor
Silence was still until the reaper cried

Never thought I’d be in this place
The closer you get the further you go
Trying to find a way in or through
Demons sit, and so should you

Eyes roll back as you fall asleep
Into your mind, we walk slow
See a new world, but you’re still alone
Are you alive? Or are you letting go?
