about

This song is about a short story where an entire planet goes insane and burns down all of civilization.

lyrics

The stars
They lie
Their light
Hides the secrets

A wall of lights
A bright revelation
Showing us the truth
Unraveling mysteries

The small neat walls
Came crashing down
Revealing the awful black
Crushing obliterating

It is so much more
Than we could ever dream
A dream of lights
So cold and black

So constricting
So confining
Making me feel
So infinitesimal

Hidden by the sunrays
Revealed by the eclipse
Our fears run loose
Our minds collapse

Light burns
They are coming now

Don’t let them
Oh God don’t let them take me away
The stars
Oh the stars
Are coming for me

Oh no
They’re here
Their bright
My fear

Don’t you come any closer
Don’t you come any closer

It’s so cold in here
Won’t you please keep me warm
It’s so cold in here
Won’t you please keep me alive

I’m losing my mind
I know I am
I’m slipping away
Into the black madness

I’m losing my mind
I know I am
I’m slipping away
Into the Dark and the Cold and the Doom
