The Bells of St. Clemens

The sounds have kept you up tonight, the sirens on the street

They sing a song of treason and of capture

You lay awake,wondering if all is at it seems

Demand not if you can’t stomach the answer

Nightmares come to meet you, grip so tight they smother

Pray no one can see through

Throw a rock at your glass door

Not a tremble

Hide your heart beneath the armor

Pull the muzzle from your mouth

The convoy’s out to get you

Hang onto delusive honor

Pull the muzzle from your mouth

The right side of a war

Silence the alarm

But I see we’re not like the others..

The undead, trying to find their way

Hide your heart beneath the armor

Pull the muzzle from your mouth

Hang onto delusive honor

The right side of a war Silence the alarm

Your eyes gleam, vessels pulsating

You have never known the taste of true living

You have never known

Beyond the wall you’re forced to face reality

Awaken from the slumber and the sleepwalking

Abandon all the comforts of conditioning

Would you die to feel alive?

Think no further, caught before you’ve run

Trust no other, betrayal’s a gun

Pledge allegiance to the all-seeing one

Surrender yourself to me and none else

Think no further, loyalty is all

Hide your heart and hide your thoughts from me

Remember who you are
