Of Snakes and Swans

Punishing lights again and I can't see anything
 Wax stranger
 They give me eyes that are straight from the mud
 And they look familiar
 I've been blind since the day I was born
 Lost worship
 Satin death
 Waiting for us to spar
 Remember
 Remember there are snakes growing old in the yard
 Torment my skin
 Midnight sets in
 Unholy dances
 Stay in love while heaven's burning before your eyes
 ♪
 It knocks the wind right out of me
 What?
 Watch what you're saying
 Keep on dancing with your silk shoes on
 Defiled
 We're trained to offer our surrender
 Wild surrender
 Black swan tarred and feathered in the back
 Now I'm left with all we ever did
 Shade splits into 27 lines on the act
 Cold blood don't move, they don't ever move
 Under fading lights: commemoration
 I need something that brings me adoration
 Sacrificial lives and dedication I feel the serpents in my skin
 Catch them all
 Cut the neck
 Bite the rope
 Midnight sets in
 Unholy dances
 Stay in love while heaven's burning before your eyes
 Midnight sets in
 Exhausted frozen pain, the frost it starts at the neck
 Midnight sets in
 Still yearning to be broken, those eyes are burning black
 I am of snakes and swans, I put the pieces back
