Man is a worthless creation A mewling waste of skin and bone Ripe for tinder and temptation To kneel before the empty throne The scum of humanity forever trapped Cursed with rebirth and power untapped I can't hear the wailings (cold lantern) Of the cold lanterns (cold lantern) I can't hear the wailings (cold lantern) Of the cold lanterns (cold lantern) Yet the nightmare wanders once again The cold lanterns sing their horried songs And the walls are lined with eyes in pain Nothing here remains where they belong I can't hear the wailings (cold lantern) Of the cold lanterns (cold lantern) I can't hear the wailings (cold lantern) Of the cold lanterns (cold lantern) I can hear the wailings (cold lantern) Of the cold lanterns (cold lantern) I can hear the wailings (cold lantern) Of the cold lanterns (cold lantern)
