Always waiting for nothing It's time to learn something Sometimes the fear's all there is Working backwards, chasing smoke We all let this happen Where were you then? This sea of sights will fall to rest Deaf to all vain requests We fail to grasp what once they held False truth beneath the one true self A city stands in dreams and time In which resides a thousand lies You can see the lights from waking life And hear the cries in sacred night The only law is memory Freedom's given, but none to see Trapped we are, too wise to know What every sense would live to show Yet the dawn still waits for none His breath to break the frost that's come Set to flight on ebon wings To see the end of everything
