Things Present, Things Past Lyrics


As the light of the day slowly fades away

When our memories are all that remain

Do we fly into the past or play our endgame?

There's a case to be made, either way

As the light of the day slowly fades away

Let the coming night perform its shadow-play

If there's anything you need, just ask

Mephistopheles

Always kind with a trick up his sleeve

As the light of the day slowly fades away

See the sky open like a shallow grave

And everything it frees with a rattle and a wheeze

In the end like so many fallen leaves
