lyrics

A quarter till the dawn rises up from the dark to mask a face I swore I saw. Was it you? I can’t recall, but I will chase you down until nothing is holy anymore. And you will leave me where I lay. Hang a veil, and leave me desperate under your black waves where I can’t hear the sirens. From beyond the grave, tell me all your madness. Tell me you will stay. We can choke the light. Take me home now. This pedestal we live on, we could never call our own. Mark my words, dear. I would take it back to hear you say, “I’ll be your man.”

We used to be the blameless. We never knew these were the olden days. Now you’re giving in, and I won’t sleep again, knowing that the faithful got away.

Take me home now. Take me home now. When you’re an old man with panic lines drawn, crying, “We should have stopped them. Oh, we should have known.” Make me brave. Tonight we rise. When you’re an old man, remember this day. We were pulled from the well in a rage screaming, “I won’t go.” (These days the streetlights are the only stars we know.) No, I won’t go. (We know you’re out there. We have heard the crowing.) I’ve seen the danger in your eyes. An elegy to all you left behind. (Take a copper and trade it for a mile.) No, I won’t go. (Starving for a brother as you herald the end times.) Come at me, sword unseen. You’re all the things we swore we’d never be. Leave me now. Believe me now.

The one you denied still waits in the eaves by your side. Mark your words. We’re crippled awake, and we beg for the dreams of the night. Crippled awake by the hangman as he chokes the light.

Wake me up now. Wake me up now. Wake me up. Make me beg for the dreams of the night. Wake me up now. Wake me up now. Wake me up to the hangman as he chokes the light. Wake me up now. Wake me up now. Wake me up. This delusion will tear us apart. Wake me up now. Wake me up now. Wake me up now. I hope it’s golden where you are. Wake me up now. Wake me up now. Wake me up now. I hope it’s golden where you are. Wake me up now. Wake me up now. Wake me up now. I hope it’s golden where you are.
