The Silver Key part 1: Atop Hollow Cliffs of Glass Lyrics


I feel these bonds weakening

ethereal threads dissolving

between my fingertips

Am I to lose you here?

To worlds unknown

and sights I cannot see

Locked within the spinal cord of a mechanist

A poison grafted its DNA to synthesize

Unresponsive gray matter, misfiring on all

attacks, wastes a fragile form

To the infinite madness

of eternal dreams

I am losing all I've ever known

my sorrow drowned

in your haunted screams

salvation lies in the Silver Key

A death march of synapses, a lost hope

charges blindly forward as a lemming,

molting nerve endings scream with electric

teeth, a wall closes as sound

To the infinite madness

of eternal dreams

I am losing all I've ever known

my sorrow drowned

in your haunted screams

salvation lies in the Silver Key

I would give you the world

just to ease your pain

just to save you from hell

for one precious second

To realms unknown

and gilded palaces

fields that stretch beyond

all imagining

I can take you there

to save you from yourself

You will perch atop

hollow cliffs of glass

I feel these bonds weakening

ethereal threads dissolving

between my fingertips

Now I must lose you here

To worlds unknown

and sights I can not see

please remember me
