Lyrics
I woke up to nothing but a candle And the vague understanding that my name is Daniel Uncertain of my circ*mstance, nothing else is substantial I gather fragments of a mind that I might have dismantled The last dregs of oil burning in the lantern Dispel the phantoms that hold my memory to ransom Can I remember the reason that I need to answer them And descend into madness' inner sanctum? A humble hunter-gatherer hunted by gatherers Who are governеd by malice in this glum palace of avarice Undеr the thumb of Baron Alexander in its utter vastness Some cannot handle this and thus succ*mb to blackness The kind of dark a pack of matches can't dispel The kind that violates your mind 'til it's a lifeless shell You've made the drive halfway into your private Hell So finish the trip and enjoy the ride, you might as well No gunpowder, just a tinderbox No flint, no pin for picking the locks No giving up, no going back No hope, no memory, you don't know jack You can run, you can hide You can shun what's inside you But I know your mind I will come and will find You can crouch in the dark Can deny I'm inside You are only delay In the day that I find you I haven't got a trusty weapon with which I can cut and thrust So I keep descending into corridors that are bottomless I cough and splutter on the rotten musk of forgotten husks Knowing the day of reckoning won't stop at dusk When you ride with the Devil, you can't be too careful It might be the death of your mind, he's residing inside you And therefore you're frightened and fearful Crying and tearful because your life is a vessel Destined to spend every night lying unsettled So no surprise that you'll be finding it stressful When every thread inside your head unravels Yet nobody's there to find you dead, I've traveled Through the perils of a feral desert, endeavoured But effort's never sufficient whenever you're in a position Where decisions you commit to will rip through the firmament And permanently trick you to tip you even further Into the slimy bowels of your private Hell Where chiming bells ring in the news you finally fell No gunpowder, just a tinderbox No flint, no pin for picking the locks No giving up, no going back No hope, no memory, you don't know jack You can run, you can hide You can shun what's inside you But I know your mind I will come and will find You can crouch in the dark Can deny I'm inside You are only delay In the day that I find You can run, you can hide You can shun what's inside you But I know your mind I will come and will find You can crouch in the dark Can deny I'm inside You are only delay In the day that I find you
