The Acolyte
Dead and lost with tired faces
Antiquated passion laid to rest
Wake up!
No smiles for the memories we have
Rotting with the corpses of our past
Please, wake up!
Here we stand left in the dark! (Kick back!)
Here we are screaming for help! (Strike back!)
Do you think that we have a fighting chance?
Shall we dance on the wings of hope
And together fly through the sky?
We are not living for this!
I will take back what is ours!
Stand up, coward!
Dear God! Scream it like you mean it!
No time to rest
For sleep, beckons the weak
This can't be it (Darling, please...)
I don't think I am ready for goodbyes (Understand and listen...)
If you leave, if we try to finish what we began (This is insane)
I don't think I can bring you back
So kiss me before you go...
And whisper three sweet words
There must be something that I missed (Pieces drift away...)
I wish I could think outside of the box now
(Solve the riddle, no stone will be left unturned)
With God as my witness (I will find a way...)
(To slow, to beat the wheels of time)
I wake up beside you and we smile (Oh, foolishness)
Stand up, coward!
Dear God! Scream it like you mean it!
No time to rest
For sleep, beckons the weak
This can't be it (Darling, please...)
I don't think I am ready for goodbyes (Understand and listen...)
If you leave, if we try to finish what we began (This is insane)
I don't think I can bring you back
So kiss me before you go...
And whisper three sweet words
Shatter the hourglass...
Dissect the universe!
Tear through reality!
Rearrange the stars above!
Open your eyes and gaze the skies
Above a world that we have made
Blood, sweat, and tears, ions and years
We're building a utopia...
(A utopia...)
(A utopia...)
(A utopia...)
Yet I still remain, in this cursed place
So far from my dreams
This must be hell! (I will escape!)
Burn it to the ground!
Tear it brick from brick!
Till there's nothing left
But a hole in the sky!
This can't be it (Darling, please...)
I don't think I am ready for goodbyes (Understand and listen...)
If you leave, if we try to finish what we began (This is insane)
I don't think I can bring you back
So kiss me before you go...
And whisper three sweet words
Shatter the hourglass...
Dissect the universe!
Tear through reality!
Rearrange the stars above!
Antiquated passion laid to rest
Wake up!
No smiles for the memories we have
Rotting with the corpses of our past
Please, wake up!
Here we stand left in the dark! (Kick back!)
Here we are screaming for help! (Strike back!)
Do you think that we have a fighting chance?
Shall we dance on the wings of hope

Dissect the universe!
Tear through reality!
Rearrange the stars above!
