So listen up for here truth lies
The only voice you all despise
Is breaking through the silence
This land of whispers pays my demise
Embrace the truth or tell some lies
Well this is how this curtain parts
When the hall is empty I'm not afraid
But the words have left me cause you stayed
So light up this hall of dreads
And wake up the clown he dreamed his lies
Give him paint but hide his knive
He's got a life full of expectations
So what will lead us now?
My heart or my ignorant mind?
When everybody's waiting FOR
The Act of the One
While the curtains are drawn
I keep on turning black
While no one's calling back
I keep on turning black
It's all the same old mess
Forever lost indeed
Forever killing needs
No sight, no hope, ah fuck it
(get out of here)
For this is where the truth lies
The one you all despise
Was yelling at the prison guard far too long
Picking up the diamonds here
I was never meant to fear
This train is rolling too fast
But station for station it lasts
Shovel all the coal inside
Til you burn your heart, it died
So I'll go astray for some time
But it just leads me to my crime
I've laid all the tracks in front
So I can be the one they want
This ship is sinking so fast
I'll never reach the top of my mast
I dive for diamonds here
I was never meant to fear
I'm disloyal a bad sin
'til I know I'm not thin
All Hail to the one doomed to fall
All Hail to the one who'll breakdown
All Hail to the one doomed to fall
All Hail to the one who'll breakdown
All Hail to the one doomed to fall
All Hail to the one who'll breakdown
The beast will never be tamed
After all the hours we've spent
It's always coming back
And shake your clean shaved neck
It's always coming back
It's all the same old mess
