Dire indeed when we need to bleed
in order to reach, touch, feel and release
Navigating the shallow to wade in the deeps, I bare the crown of the kingdomless king-
Where have I been, I've been asking myself
Don't know where it is, but collapsed and it fell
I stand outside of me shatter my shell to get back inside again, master the hell
So sew the sentiment into my flesh, Braid it in slow with your claws and your thread
Beware though the danger inside the caress of the kingdomless king and his Jester invest
I own the nothing encasing the chaos
The everything missing that's lost in the grey
Moshing with demons to keep them at bay costs
the price of the peace I don't know how to take, lost
Ode to the muddy chains frozen in ice
We'll meet again soon and I'll grasp you tight
I'll wear you and drag you through battles and night
And again, once again, you'll hold my life
Ode to the wire, ode to the fire
Ode to the chemical cocktails and steel
Ode to the danger that hides in the moment
And ode to the restless, serene and surreal
