I felt the warmth recede like a scroll
Rolled up and sealed, left me dark and hollow
I felt the cold, oh, it burned like a furnace
Frostbite consumes, ensues I am banished
I felt my heart sunder and hardened
As I walk out of the garden
I was loved more than anything
But I kissed the dust
I was crowned over everything
But I kissed the dust
I had all I would ever need
But I kissed the dust
I listened to the lie and I live and let die
♪
I felt my soul pulled in every direction
What once was whole has chosen defection
I felt the chaos and came with her the hail
Hail, hail creation, long live your volition
Will we go on like we deserve a pardon
As we walk out of the garden?
I was loved more than anything
But I kissed the dust
I was crowned over everything
But I kissed the dust
I had all I would ever need
But I kissed the dust
I listened to the lie and I live and let die
♪
I was living in a paradise
But now I fight a war against my own name
And I'm fighting all alone
Gained I have the world and lost have I everything else?
I'd give it all up if it all began like a faithful friend
To feel like home again
(I'd give it all up if it all began) for I am
(Like a faithful friend, to feel like home again) begotten, not forgotten
(I'd give it all up if it all began like a faithful friend to look like)
I know I've changed, but I still look like (for I am begotten, look like)
I still look like you
♪
Lay down, sleepyhead
Rest your bones in that flowerbed
I'll wake you when it's time
We'll walk in the warmth of an endless light
