Lyrics

[00:10.23] Windows in a silent room, sunlight burns the walls to black
[00:19.81] Angles and dimensions melt while colors drip and pillows crack
[00:27.45] Reflections of my memories like pictures pasted on a sheet
[00:33.87] The ribbon film of separate frames lying curled up at my feet
[00:46.65] The film is just a snake design and the photographs are fading fast
[00:54.55] These are not memories of mine I have no future and no past
[01:09.83] I've seen a thousand afternoons dissolve into the night
[01:19.37] Like sugar crystals on a spoon they disappear from sight
[01:30.42] Gray days from the crispest morning
[01:33.73] To the warmest afternoon in this room
[01:42.73] And I like to draw the face I saw so long ago
[01:52.00] My image in the mirror tells the jagged lines which way to go
[02:00.89] The black and white description of the sole survivor of the holocaust
[02:11.02] All the rest were lost
[02:20.56] Do you see this paper face? It has no color or no mood
[02:27.01] My eyes are ageless, as am I, I need no sleep, I need no food
[02:34.10] I am a king, but like a child, the other children laugh at me
[02:40.74] Tongues of fire, wagging wild they dance around me merrily
[02:53.97] I'll kill them all and if I fail I'll kill whoever I can find
[03:00.61] And then they'll beg me to be kind
[03:13.64] My eyes have seen far more than eyes can ever tell
[03:22.99] This planet plunged through mushroom fires of earthly hell
[03:35.68] I know that my sweet Jesus said that he'd return
[03:43.34] But Babylon has fallen and the cities burn
