Tracing oil trails and streaks of black, serpentine
To certainties that never leave you
Impact at the start of the escape, far away
Where no-one's coming to relieve you
Excandescent star
Swallowing your heart
Betrayal's bible is handmade and heavyweight
And best of all, it's open-ended
Excandescent star
Swallowing your heart
Why do you stay
If nothing's left to save?
Eyewitness at the gate
There to validate
The claim that faith
Is not too far from fate
Sealed to the page
The place you might be safe
The weapon comes to cure the wound, it's overdue
You keep the evidence to prove it
And read the scraps like clinging leaves of tea
But all I see is accidents, so rise above it
Excandescent star
Swallowing your heart
Why do you stay
If nothing's left to save?
Eyewitness at the gate
There to validate
The claim that faith
Is not too far from fate
Sealed to the page
The place you might be safe
Is this superstition the one thing to add up?
Your trust that everything will turn to dust is evidence enough
Betrayal's bible is handmade and heavyweight
And best of all, it's open-ended
Why do you stay
If nothing's left to save?
Eyewitness at the gate
There to validate
The claim that faith
Is not too far from fate
Sealed to the page
The place you might be safe
