lyrics

Get up! Flee! To the comforts of civility,
To a sleeping city unaware of the blood you've spilled in your conquest,
You'll hide your sins in the garden round the rock in your brother's head,
But when you're marked for exile you'll never see your home again.

Oh! We feared separation,
But in our haste we brought our final disgrace,
Condemned to predestination,
Aversion only hastened what we thought to escape.
Cast out from the garden,
(Awake, arise, and still forever fallen),
Please don't sentence me to silence lest I become like the condemned in depths of the city of the dead.

YOU CAN NEVER GO HOME!

Strip yourself of the love you hold dear,
Cast yourself outside the city gates among the dead,
Mark your lovers in stone and forget their faces,
But never forget the taste you shared.
If these walls could speak they'll tell of times so long ago when paradise consumed the shallow seeds you pushed down into the dirt,
The roots of regret have taken hold,
And we'll taste the consequences of our lust.

How strange it is that we once lovers now are strangers to each other and reflections in the glass of what could have been,
And now we sleep alone, forever silenced in separation by the glass of the past set in stone.
