The night has bitten to the core of me
It sinks it teeth in as this ship fades in the cold
Trembling as the walls will laugh and bleed
I'm never in reverie, but in black and gold
Everybody tries to blame it on the give and take in
The duality of life
There's a dagger and it lingers in the mind's eye open
To devils and the like

They take me a long way down
Dance upon the water, watch as the demons set afire
Hold the head below
And choke as the heathens drown a while
Darkness is swelling up all inside me
I'm reaching for the air

The night is tearing down the walls in me
I long for touches of nothing, everything goes black as I bleed
There's a dagger and it lingers in the mind's eye open
To devils and the like
They take me a long way down
Dance upon the water, watch the demons set afire
Hold the head below and choke as the heathens drown a while
