Night comes with the smell of murder

And shadows fall long on my trail

Such are the hazards of my craft

All lights disperse

And the devil takes me down

There is panic in my fascination

Like soothing wine is my despair

Gracefully I fall to pieces

Then lights disperse

And the devil takes me down

The gears keep turning

And the ropes stretch far

In this world of hopelessness

I have come a long way now

The fatal riddles

Beckon me

I have come a long way now

A leap from faith

And gravity

I have come a long way now

To find the nest

Where treasures sleep

I have come a long way now

The fairest lies

Are hidden in the deep

In the deep

There is vanity in my destruction

There is mockery in my ordeal

Indefinite is the course of my decent

When lights disperse

And the devil takes me
