In large part Lost Light era-centric.
Tamenetsi tunc me irridebat,
agens ut eram tua res privata,
si cogito quantum pugnavissemus,
miror quod bene (gestum sit.)
Omnia omnino mutata sint,
iam me ipsum non agnoveris,
ne tunc quidem me noscebas
sed omnia perduntur (extremo.)
Tenuisti omnia corde,
tametsi conatus, omnia perdidi.
Living in the night
'Neath heavens torn asunder
You call on me to solve a crooked rhyme
As I'm closing in
Imposing on your slumber
You call on me as bells begin to chime
Are you on the square?
Are you on the level?
Are you ready to swear right here, right now before the devil
That you're on the square?
That you're on the level?
That you're ready to stand right here, right now?
Right here, right now
It doesn't even matter how hard you try
Keep that in mind, I designed this rhyme
To remind myself of a time when I (I tried so hard)
In spite of the way you were mockin' me
Actin' like I was part of your property
Remembering all the times you fought with me
I'm surprised it got so (Got so far)
Things aren't the way they were before
You wouldn't even recognize me anymore
Not that you knew me back then
But it all comes back to me (In the end)
You kept everything inside
And even though I tried, it all fell apart
What it meant to me will eventually
Be a memory of a time when I
I tried so hard and got so far
But in the end, it doesn't even matter
I had to fall to lose it all
But in the end, it doesn't even matter
Pray for me, oh children, pray for what I've, I've, I've, I've done
I'll haunt the very wrinkles of your skin
Pray for me, I'll run until I begin to understand
What holy men really mean
When they speak of sin
Oh woah, oh woah
Pray for me 'cause I won't pray for you
If you knew all that I'd done
The words that shone are all but gone
Oh woah
The hearts I've broken, the minds I've woken
Sweet nothings are screamed not spoken
Oh woah
God made all man in his image (God made all men)
Honey I'm, I'm no man
I'm what’s left when children go to war
Run from you, I'll run until I begin to understand (Run from you, understand)
What holy men really mean
When they speak of sand and sons and seams
Pray for me, oh children, pray for what I've, I've, I've undone
I cannot sleep when all you do is cry
Pray for me, I'll run until I begin to understand
What holy men really mean when they speak of all that's been and all that won't
And all you do and don't
I'm stronger now than you have ever known
The cracks you made I fill with mortar
A broken pot can still hold water
Symphonies and sweat and sex mean nothing when you are obsessed
With sin and soil and strength and song and all the words that came out wrong and him
Pray for me 'cause I won't pray for you
Everybody's got a million questions
Everybody wants to know the score
What you went through
It's something you should be over now
Everybody wants to hear the secrets
That you never told a soul before
And it's not that strange
'Cause it wouldn't change what happened anyhow
But you swore to yourself a long time ago
There were some things that people never needed to know
This is one that you keep, that you bury so deep
No one can tear it out
And you can't talk about it
'Cause you're following a code of silence
You're never gonna lose the anger
You just deal with it in a different way
And you can't talk about it (No, you can't talk)
And isn't that a kind of madness
To be living by a code of silence
When you've really got a lot to say
And you still have a rage inside you
That you carry with a certain pride
In the only part of the broken heart
That you could ever save
But you've been through it once, you know how it ends
You don't see the point of going through it again
And this ain't the place and this ain't the time
And neither's any other day
And if a vow is what it takes
Haven't you paid for your mistakes?
After the moment passes
And the impulse disappears
You can still hold back
'Cause you don't crack very easily
It's a time-honored resolution
'Cause the danger is always near
It's with you now
But that ain't how it was supposed to be (No, no, no)
And it's hard to believe after all these years
That it still gives you pain and it still brings tears
And you feel like a fool, 'cause in spite all your rules
You've got a memory
Crush me with your holy hell, I feel no damage
I can never stop my path, despite the panic
The planet might be burning down
Fuck it, I'll manage
Green hills, I can see them smoking
Big smile as the flames approaching
