lyrics

At the green light I saw her standing
A candle in incandescent stardust
A constellation awoken by silence
In a filament of spiritual devotion
To the god of filth

There was nothing there

She cried out
To the wind
Save me before I fall
Before they find me
Before they rise up
Before they dare exist

The shimmer of dawn lays down on the city sprawl
Too afraid to cross the fulcrum of shadow and light
It sat on the jagged edge of oblivion
Poised to illuminate her dreams

With a silent prayer the city
The city topples into infinity
Her every step challenged by the melting snow

And if she never sees her friends and family again
Loved ones, next of kin
She gathers it's the price to pay for what she hopes to achieve
The disembodied fallacy of her life
Trampled by the urge to disappear
She realizes now, she miscalculated

But it's not too late

She cried out
To the wind
Save me before I fall
Before they find me
Before they rise up
Before they dare exist
