Lyrics

I will not fade!
I will not fade!
I might be a baby caught in the snow
But you know..

I will not fade!
I will not fade!
I ripped off my arms
So long ago

All these wheels:
They seem amazing!
All these bombs
Must be ready to blow
All this time
I could have tried
All this time
I did not know

The letters grow long and weary
And build into a maze
The dialects laid beneath
Drip from hands yellow-stained
Inside the envelope a heart of golden sand
Wrapped in snakes, clenched in a fist
Of a mechanical hand

Give up and go away!!
Into the void
Be silent and do not speak!!
Into the void
Be blind and do not gaze!!
Into the void
Be numb and do not reach!!
Into the void

And if they want!
And if they want!
And if they want!
...I'll come undone

I might be amazed like a baby but
I don't have those eyes
Soaring quails sing of their glories;
Vultures always lie
In the deep, the creatures weep
Begging to be fried
Any change can be magnificent
If you only try

Face the stars or the abyss!
Face the stars or the abyss!
Face the stars or the abyss!
Face the stars or the abyss!

I'll face the stars or the abyss
But not nothing at all
I'll face the stars or the abyss-
From nothing I can't fall

All these wheels:
They seem amazing!
All these bombs
Must be ready to blow!
All this time
I could have tried!
All this time
I did not know!

It's so amazing!
It's so-
It's so..
It's so amazing!

It's so amazing!
It's so-
It's so..
It's so amazing!
