Avert Your Eyes Lyrics

near the edge of a long, long fall
the old gods wear black
bleak faces come to watch
to look under the veil
peeping under the angels's gown
to see the worm below
forever is nowhere near
the time we need to mend
all, all together now
one last embrace

here it ends
here it ends
nothing more to see.

how much for the firstborn's head
the relics have to pay
the caravan through the endless days
the temples on the hill
throughout their ballrooms so desolate
the last waltzing mad
carry proudly their battered bones
like crosses, like beliefs
all, all together now
one last embrace
here it ends
here it ends
nothing more to see.
only if we dream we see through the smoke
little creature, you thought you had eyes
but no, you sleep under the dead wings
safe but for the world outside
getting closer to her womb
creeping closer to her womb

avert your eyes
nothing more to see
no.
