All of the longing   Condensed in this place and time   I invoke you, O spirits, crawl inside   Then awaken my conscience   Lain dormant for all this time   And feed the despair that pervades my life, yeah      In the hold of a nightmare   I see truth in their words and lies   And beauty appears in sorrow's guise   So caught in the moment   We ignore the passing of time   And mistake the empty for the sublime, yeah      Oh, my savior   Give value to these misdeeds   In sin you bathe me   Holy   So I say that the father lies   And my dreams will betray me tonight      Obey the scourge of night   May darkness bring sight   I welcome your grace   Upon this night      All of the longing   And thoughts scribed in soothing fire   The ashes and smoke breed my desire   Abject and misshapen   To you I give all that I'm worth   My swarthy children of the earth, yeah      Oh, can these words be given shape   Oh, does the fool acknowledge fate   I've awaken the monster   The one that exists in my mind   In fear I behold the apparent divine   It grants me one vision   The mother in death giving birth   To the swarthy children of the earth, yeah      Oh, our savior   Pour deep within me   In blackness forsake me   Holy      So I say that the father lies   And my dreams will betray me tonight, yeah      Breathe slightly   Sleep soundly   All through this night   Breathe slightly   Sleep soundly   All through this night      I'm under its spell   I am too small   To try to resist the Ancient One's call   Will you be with me when I fall   I'm under its spell   I am too small   To try to resist the Ancient One's call   Will you be with me when I fall   I'm under its spell   I am too small   To try to resist the Ancient One's call   Will you be with me when I fall
