[Prelude]
No, no, there is no time
Space between the Well & unknowing
Our story starts there
Well into our future, yet far beyond our past
In a romance between a pair of Unheavenly Creatur
The Five Houses of the Star Supremacy have privatized the detention zones of the galaxy
These planetary prison pits reassembled from the cracked worlds of the Great Crash
Which brings us to our stage
Where the light must learn to love the black
The Dark Sentencer
It begins with them, but ends with me. Their son, Vaxus
Bm G E
[Verse 1]
BmHere, emotions behold
You've entered a Hell where the Devil is made of gold
BmPlease, don't run your mouth
The questions before have no place in this haunted house
BmReveal your selfish pleasure
One more time run for good measure
BmIn the answer you ho
Time would be better off if our souls had been sold
D Bm
[Pre-Chorus]
AHere, where the liDght oGnly dies to remembBmer
DIn Bma plAace where the blDind trGuly can sBmee

SGhed yoAur sBmkin and expose your bones (Hey! Hey! Hey!)
TaGke mAy haBmnd (Hey! Hey! Hey!)
And fGolAlow uBms into the black (Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!)
So far that we can't get back
[Verse 2]
BmHere, dig me a grave
And toss in the lives that you can't be bothered to save
BmWith their blood on your hands
You enjoy the sun while you shit in the purest sand
BmKiss your lover with that filthy mouth
You fucking monster
BmHere, as evil now gropes
It's caught us off guard with its hand reaching for our throats
[Pre-Chorus]

[Prelude]

No, no, there is no time

Space between the Well & unknowing

Our story starts there

Well into our future, yet far beyond our past

In a romance between a pair of Unheavenly Creatur

The Five Houses of the Star Supremacy have privatized the detention zones of the galaxy

These planetary prison pits reassembled from the cracked worlds of the Great Crash

Which brings us to our stage

Where the light must learn to love the black

The Dark Sentencer

It begins with them, but ends with me. Their son, Vaxus

Bm G E

[Verse 1]

Here, emotions behold

You've entered a Hell where the Devil is made of gold

Please, don't run your mouth

The questions before have no place in this haunted house

Reveal your selfish pleasure

One more time run for good measure

In the answer you ho

Time would be better off if our souls had been sold

D Bm

[Pre-Chorus]

A D G Bm

Here, where the light only dies to remember

D Bm A D G Bm

In a place where the blind truly can see

It's been my pleasure to serve your disease

[Chorus]

G A Bm

Welcome home (Hey! Hey! Hey!)

G A Bm

Shed your skin and expose your bones (Hey! Hey! Hey!)

G A Bm

Take my hand (Hey! Hey! Hey!)

G A Bm

And follow us into the black (Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!)

So far that we can't get back

[Verse 2]

Here, dig me a grave

And toss in the lives that you can't be bothered to save

With their blood on your hands

You enjoy the sun while you shit in the purest sand

Kiss your lover with that filthy mouth

You fucking monster

Here, as evil now gropes

It's caught us off guard with its hand reaching for our throats

There's no telling when the truth is clear, pay it no mind

Lines were drawn for us, for all sides

In the afterglow, echoes of time unfold

Give me your word, my dear, and promise you won't let go

It's a shame, I fear, for men to start

Bm A Bm A

We walk their lines, all to play the fucking part

Bm A Bm Bm G A

A shame, I fear, for men to start

Bm A Bm A

We walk their lines, all to play the fucking part

G Bm

I fear we've got all we had wanted

G Bm A

Close your eyes and believe it didn't happen

G Bm

Now shut your mouth beyond your lies

The world knows to stay away from you

In the blood you let run, they march as you lead

We laugh in the sun, maybe that's all we need

I, and I, and I'm sorry

You can't escape
