Through Night-Kingdomed Gates

Into what goes on forever Beyond perspectives lost Caleidoscope vision Introspective display What hides in plain sight

Force it into my head Now is the only time Hiding behind a lie All I know

I cast the fire

Inside these hours All alone For I am in denial Though never again will I Direct my shields Against another But turn it on myself

Come back To something I need Come back to misery Living the misdirection All I know The further off center My lies become

Force it into my head Now is the only time Hiding behind a lie All I know

I cast the fire

Inside these hours All alone For I am in denial Though never again will I Direct my shields Against another But turn it on myself

No sight - unseen No light - in between Gravitational lensing What they see Is bent around my lies

Around this black hole I have found myself again Brought out the answers For my seeing eyes only Travelling in circles I have found myself again No way to face it straight Inside the lonely

Here in the night of nights Where nothing shines I brought the flame down On it all - unforgiving In time the flame will die The only hope I have to find To never deny, never regret The masquerade is over

As long as I cast the fire

Inside these hours All alone For I am in denial Though never again will I Direct my shields Against another But turn it on myself
