Around the fog, below the fog
Behind the fog, above the fog
I've been seen on their side
But I've been sober tonight
I've been seen lost at night
With fewer stars alight
Now I've got you to tell the story
And I've got you to resign to this world
And I feel all the sounds are so hollow
And I wish to desert all this sorrow
And I feel complete sorrow
Complete sorrow
Utter grief strikes you
Something's so wrong
Something's so foul
Closer to the sewers
Some will fight and some will not but all will lie
Around the fog, below the fog
Behind the fog, above the fog
I was so hurt, I was injured
(The day I was born)
I've been sober, I've been sober
(Now I feel something)
Now I've got you to desert all this sorrow
I reach to you to implore, make it go
All this grief, all the strain drives me so low
Complete sorrow, complete sorrow
Light won't pierce this fog
Times are over, times are over, times are over you
Some are fragile some are not
But all are seeking shelter
You got sunlight
I brought sunlight for you
But it's too late
Does that matter today?
I've done things I can't...
Oohhh forget... there's no blame
Let's head somewhere that's safe
To make this one a longer night
Were there signs before?
I never saw, flying or hiding, where?
Were there signs before?
The mission and the compromise
I must have been afraid
No one sang these words
The tremor of a broken voice can't prevent this blood
Were there signs before?
Beauty held behind
All we hoped vanished before us
Were there signs before?
Festering wounds in a fostering world and all illusion gone
Were there signs before?
I believe I remember the wind in my ear, the message so unclear
Were there signs before?
If there were they could not be caught so how could I have fought?
Embrace the fog, take in the fog
Inhale the fog, breathe in the fog
I've got you to desert all this sorrow
I've got you to resign to this world
I can take you now to the outside
I can lead our procession to nowhere
I've got you to proclaim all the sorrow
