Bitter Cold Reprisal Lyrics

Tell me this was all a dream

Another ghost in my machine

Haunted by design

Eroding over time

And growing

Was that just the setting sun

The end is here, the day is done

Ignoring all the signs

Evil or divine or nothing

Now take a breath and say it loud

Without them who'd you be now

Who'd break through the divide

Take it all in stride

While losing

Turn your head and walk away

Another nightmare, another day

Without words, nothing's left to say

But you'll let me down

Please let me down

Come right by moonlight

Darkness by your side

You'll never fall

Call for salvation

As you're slipping away

Fading away

Meanwhile I

Hide in plain sight

Visible to anyone

Or anything

Or anyone

Drifting away

Fading away

From everyone

Close your eyes and pray I'm gone

The world's a bleak and bitter facade

There's nothing left

But you anticipate arrival

Of your bitter cold reprisal

Every day

Bring me another life

Another faith

Another way

And I wonder where you've been

When your walls cave in

Whoa, whoa

Fly with the angels eternity's child

Youth of the nation so reckless and wild

Together we'll preach of our sins in denial

The world's such a lowly place

We've been killing the serpent with blood on our wings

A chorus of demons for angels they sing

And now we'll all sort through the horror

We break with the chill of love's embrace

Ah

Spineless they stand as they're hiding their eyes

They fear that tomorrow might be their demise

A roundabout way of not rolling the dice

In the grip of death's firm grasp

They give all their money to fall for their king

For worldly investment lust, fortune they bring

So sorry we live all as followers sing

But there's nothing to bring you back

Gold is all you need

Deciding your will for a life you will never lead

Or is it all a dream

Perhaps the world has fallen

For all your clever schemes

It seems
