Oh man, it's blood outside The king has died And the people are cryin' Yeah, the people are mad Burn, baby The Memphis blues Was on the news And the cities are burnin' And your town in a flame Burn, baby burn Vesper: Memories pass Like whispers through glass Through my mind Each has a message Enclosed in its package Fuel to burn I sit in the candle light Watch it chase out the night Melting, I drip out of sight And into my brain There's no one to blame I'll leave as fast as I came Through the blink of an eye Swim with the dead The past is re-dead As I fall apart We're all slaves to the truth
