Heaven And The Holier-Than-Thou

HEAVEN AND THE HOLIER-THAN-THOU

The radio's playing songs that remind me of love, of lust and fantasy
I'm waiting for the hands of time to slow
I'm watching from the wings, but no one knows
Contained in those familiar songs, sharp reminders of pain, of loss and timeless need
Reflecting in shapes of afterglow
Rejected, in decay, the frozen rose

Hold tight, don't fight, drifting in a sleepless bromide
So high, won't die, desolate and beached at low tide

A séance for a billion souls just reminds me I'm lost, consigned to purgatory

We are the night, as cold as ice
The spirits caught up in the astral sphere
We are the time honoured ghosts of a by gone promise
Damned and Necronomicon bound
Our earthly ties were our demise
A smoke dispersing through the atmosphere
We faced the eye of the storm and the dawn stopped coming
Heaven and the 'holier-than-thou'
Can't save us now

They say not every demon lies in the deepest of all our dreams and ecstasies
The Exorcist at least defines the blow
We pacify the beast but down we go
The day we keep in all inside is the day that we doubt our own complexities
We're fading like a Michelangelo
And fated to the dark adagio

Hold tight, don't fight, drifting in a sleepless bromide
So high, won't die, desolate and beached at low tide

Departed and deceased, designed to divide into shades of light a prism bleeds

We are the night, as cold as ice
The spirits caught up in the astral sphere
We are the time honoured ghosts of a by gone promise
Damned and Necronomicon bound
Our earthly ties were our demise
A smoke dispersing through the atmosphere
We faced the eye of the storm and the dawn stopped coming
Heaven and the 'holier-than-thou'
Can't save us now

We are the night, as cold as ice
The spirits caught up in the astral sphere
We are the time honoured ghosts of a by gone promise
Damned and Necronomicon bound
Our earthly ties were our demise
A smoke dispersing through the atmosphere
We faced the eye of the storm and the dawn stopped coming
Heaven and the 'holier-than-thou'
Can't save us now
