[Part 1 - Smoke and Mirrors] Blindly, across the sea Your love Lit my way through storm and shade For a thousand years
Today, and every day Let me be your light Let me be your light always
Another battle, another day To face the light and pull away from the embrace Of the shadows where I survive The agony reminds me I'm alive
Oh, mother, I wonder if you knew Oh, father, if only I could speak with you Did you love my smoke and mirrors? That would be enough, that would be enough
I know you found it, that dream you chased Don't ever think that what you love is a mistake Despite the demons that rule you mind Stay the course, everything will be alright
Your mother, she watches over you My daughter, just know that we are proud of you From the beyond, you'll never hear us But you have our love, you have our love
Can't afford to die, and can't afford to lose
Sweet angel, wish I had been enough for you All I am is smoke and mirrors
Would you love me if you knew? Could you love me if you knew?
[Part 2 - Mania and Nothing] What happened to me? I never saw these bones I wear this skin like someone else's clothes These scraps of childhood scenes are roughly sewn There's no tomorrow Just a day that started lifetimes ago
Back and forth Mania and nothing Nothing at all
Back and forth Mania and nothing Nothing at all
What happened to me? Who am I? Who am I? Everything I've been feels like it's a lie Food makes me sick and drink makes me fade Are these my memories? Am I even awake?
Back and forth Mania and nothing Nothing at all
Back and forth Mania and nothing Nothing at all
[Part 3 - The Majesty] Bow before the majesty This loathsome demon reborn Life with new purpose See the earth through the young eyes Feel the universe through an ancient soul
[Part 4 - Beneath the Morning Star] I have known all and nothing I have stared into the void until it haunted my dreams Screamed and smiled beneath the morning star And conducted the chorus of grim constellations
Their lights lied, I died a thousand times Floating frozen past their majesties I wandered too far into the black
Non est otium Tibi putesce mari aeterno Abhorremus te
Non est otium Tibi putesce mari aeterno Abhorremus te
Endless nights awake in vain My imploding brain Torturing my psyche, there was no escaping myself My failures, my hatred, my losses, my loathing There was no hollow peace
This has been my final death, finally accept All that I am, and all that I'm meant to be Perhaps eternally
Non est otium Tibi putesce mari aeterno Abhorremus te
[Part 1 - Smoke and Mirrors (reprise) ] Blindly, across the sea
Your love
Lit your way through storm and shade For a thousand years
Today, and every day
I will be your light Let me be your light Always
[Part 5 - This God is Dead] Guide of the lost Guardian of the broken Bringer of peace in final hours Happiness is a choice And purpose, a charted course I am but a soul-keeper And this God is dead
