lyrics

The pale man learns the daughter of the woman he loved is able to bring the dead back to life through singing. He devises a plan to kidnap her.

Each day he lives
He leaves his life to ransom
They put a price on his head
I just can’t resist

Everything he touches dies away
Everyone who knows him owns his soul

Each machine, crafted with wings
How they dance while you sing
And when the beast challenged your door
Your gods heard with silent ears

He never sleeps
He never breathes
You’ll rest easier knowing that he’s dead
“I’ve traded my soul for a new agenda”

The beasts at the horse’s feet
Ride down the weary
With fluttering wings
Can we find glory from this side?
If you hesitate
You’ll never know mercy

Run while you can

Cause I heard your child speaks of worlds of return
Nothing is out of reach
Everything is alive

If I could hear you again, I could sleep the night through
The wounded and lost, all alike in the same skin
But I know so many are set apart
What have I waited for?
Make me new, make me strong like you
And if there’s a father let him be praised
The vision is proclaimed
Let this build you up
Cause this has got to change
Are you brave again?

I can’t chase my ghosts
Even still I’m a haunted man


The hunt begins…
