lyrics

When solstice arrives at the end of the road
Untainted shrapnel sculpts the gift of never-ending crimes
While the stale indoctrination of our young distresses the stars
Apologetic until the end,
smoking lilies rolled in a bag of sand
Come, come, come take the hand that shivers
And make this made-believing, right
What exactly is this, forget and forgiving?
Your ghosts betray the trust thus far

When the apostates face the ledge and take a chance, I'll take it back
But before you, rather selfishly, deny it
(Before you rather selfishly deny it)
hold your breath in the nick of time

So, how could anyone afford?
To be lost in time and reach the steep plateau
So, fire away
Got myself an armour and I'm here to stay

Come, come, come take the hand that shivers
Come make this made-believing, right
What exactly is this, forget and forgiving?
Finger snap, betray the trust thus far

How could anyone afford?
To be lost in time and reach the plateau
So, fire away
Got myself an armour and I'm here to stay

So, how could anyone afford?
To be lost in time and reach the plateau
(So, fire away)
Ditch the grail, before it's not too late
The interlude is over and we want to play
