VERSE ONE:
now everyday i hide as a wanted man
but you took me in without a fret
oh, all the shelters you protected me from
all the spectators loosening my clutch
on the letter i was to deliver
what reason should i give to invite myself over?
but you took me in without a bat of the eye
you tightened my grip on this whirlwind of life
PRE-CHORUS:
sweet sweet sorrows, they build up with each target spotted
they burden my shoulders with their weight
they tell me to wait for my miracle dosage
but in how long will that come forth?
for how long shall i walk north?
CHORUS:
though i left my compass on the surface
it's malfunctioned a time too many to be trusted
i've been wandering ever since
in mobile destinations and forsaken crowd-woven places
i'm reborn in each moment, i'm in the sky and in the ocean
VERSE TWO:
the last of my silkened robes lay on your dresser
while you heal my arm covered in blisters
you say i shouldn't wander too far
that i'll meet nemesis, i'm better off not knowing
but every breath's my last
i'm reborn in each moment, i'm in the sky and in the ocean
PRE-CHORUS TWO:
i kneel before the house of god
i dissect the earth before i split it apart
every skin i come in contact with is stained in pale blue
have they stopped breathing like i once did too?
CHORUS:
did i call upon my angels?
they say, "pray tell, why do you call us so?"
"please, I'm being watched
purify me, if you please."
and thus begins the story of the knight in shining armour
BRIDGE:
i'm escaping one city to the next
bloodhound behind my back
i admit i've been too ruthless
but i swear, just for the sake of vengeance
his last words was the utterance of pain
on his tongue lay a prayer unfinished
did god hear it? his quiver before the doomed fate
struck on his chest, quicker than lightning
gone in a flash
OUTRO:
I was exploring the wilderness
atop the highest peak of the city
when something piqued my curiosity:
never once did i run away
from the fate that doomed the day
what say i use my chance now?
what say i whiten the clouds out?
which of the stolen knights should i fetch out of the ocean now?
me and my brother, from the ocean now
i'm escaping one city to the next
bloodhound behind my back
i admit i've been too ruthless
but i swear, for the sake of vengeance
just for the sake of vengeance
