Sunset is an angel weeping |
| [00:20.09] |
Holding out a bloody sword |
| [00:26.76] |
No matter how I squint I cannot |
| [00:32.81] |
Make out what it's pointing toward |
| [00:38.88] |
Sometimes you feel like you've lived too long |
| [00:44.83] |
The days drip slowly on the page |
| [00:53.51] |
And you catch yourself |
| [00:56.89] |
Pacing the cage |
| [01:04.42] |
I've proved who I am so many times, |
| [01:09.39] |
The magnetic strip's worn thin |
| [01:17.09] |
And each time I was someone else |
| [01:23.63] |
And everyone was taken in. |
| [01:29.95] |
Powers chatter in high places |
| [01:35.12] |
Stir up eddies in the dust of rage |
| [01:47.04] |
Set me to pacing the cage. |
| [01:55.55] |
I never knew what you all wanted |
| [02:01.50] |
So I gave you everything. |
| [02:07.86] |
All that I could pillage |
| [02:14.13] |
All the spells that I could sing |
| [02:20.70] |
It's as if the thing were written |
| [02:25.72] |
In the constitution of the age |
| [02:34.43] |
Sooner or later you'll wind up Pacing the cage |
| [03:11.20] |
Sometimes the best map will not guide you |
| [03:17.78] |
You can't see what's round the bend. |
| [03:23.75] |
Sometimes the road leads through dark places |
| [03:30.21] |
Sometimes the darkness is your friend. |
| [03:36.55] |
Today these eyes scan bleached-out land, |
| [03:42.11] |
For the coming of the outbound stage |
| [03:55.48] |
Pacing the cage |
| [04:08.05] |
Pacing the cage... |
