Chimes at Midnight Lyrics
I saw the mountain crumble down
I saw colossus in flames
I heard the ocean draining
Nothing that I could ever tameOff with my head, come down the line
I have the right to decide
I'll bring this light, as is the sky
Altered minds they criticizeUnrest within your flesh
How can we stop this pollution?Altering trouble, you cannot fix
Envy of others never makes me rich
All my heroes, they're all dead
I remain here inside myWe have heard the chimes at midnight
Into the void I go
Will I ever see your face again
Or will blank be all I knowArriving inside
Ire hurts a lifeAnd the darkness here is grim
But it found us, surrounded
Lead me deep into the canyon
You push your guidance in the wrong handsFeet ungrounded, giving your best
Now take your gold into silence
You take a stand, bracing yourself
For this cold is never endingWe have heard the chimes at midnight
Into the void I go
Will I ever see your face again
Or will blank be all I knowArriving inside
Ire hurts a life
