Lyrics
[Verse 1]
We are the outstretched fingers that seize and hold the wind
[Verse 2]
The strangers of awakening in an, oh, so silent world
Breathlessly waiting for the first proud beams of light
As the hours grow longer, the shadows never fall
[Verse 3]
My sky has forsaken me
My desperation grows
[Verse 4]
Bring me the light
In the fires that never end
The dawn will never come
Punish my heaven
[Verse 5]
That's right, you will suffer my punishment
[Verse 6]
We have arrived at the outermost crossroads
The charge of cosmos at our atmospheric skies
Will cause our fall
[Verse 7]
You are a downfall
[Verse 8]
If I had wings, would I be forgiving?
If I had horns, would there be flames to shy my smile?
[Verse 9]
Hymns of loss are heard from the masses in the streets
Praising the last of days
I punish
[Verse 10]
Bring me the light
In the fires that never end
The dawn will never come
Punish my heaven
[Verse 11]
The charge of cosmos
Charging us from unearthly distance
I challenge the universe
It's the choice between heaven and hell
[Verse 12]
My soul bears all the weight of mountains
As mankind weaves its silent end
Can there be no forgiveness?
[Verse 13]
I curse the heaven above me
As the light sinks through my outstretched fingers
Fading in my open arms
[Verse 14]
Make each tear in my bare hands a lifetime in hell
On this last day of light, when our autumn leaves fell
And as heaven itself commands me out of its lair
I fear not, my face lined for darkness, I'll go
I'll go
