Tell us how to climb this fading tree
When its limbs crumble to dust
With every step we take
Show us to harvest fruit
A glimpse of damnation in disguise
When the tree is ravaged by disease
The deeper we go, the less we know
With little to gain, or no gain at all
The higher we rise, the harder we fall
With madman's faith
We embrace the crown
Should we even try to rise above
And reach the top?
Bleak house of god
Safe haven for the souls
What should we expect to see
When our eyes are shut
And our achievements
Are bound to underwhelm?
The deeper we go, the less we know
With little to gain or no gain at all
The higher we rise, the harder we fall
With madman's faith
We embrace the crown
How to dive in search for treasures
When all the waters are mud?
When all the waters are mud?
Should we allow ourselves to submerge
Against the pressure, against the dark
Even if it means to lose it all?
Everything we've been working so hard to build
For a moment of supposed triumph
Hollow victory, pride in the fall
♪
Become as Christ (become as Christ)
And suffer his madness (and suffer his madness)
For madness is divine (for madness is divine)
(Is divine)
Become as God (become as God)
And revel in darkness (in darkness)
Of the other side (other side)

Thus the redeeming blood flows
As the branches encourage to tighten the noose
So the roots coil around our feet and pull us down
As the sun taunts us with its blissful warmth
So the moon sells us the promises of power
The deeper we go, the less we know
With little to gain or no gain at all
The higher we rise, the harder we fall
With madman's faith
We embrace the crown
The deeper we go, the less we know
With little to gain or no gain at all
The higher we rise, the harder we fall
With madman's faith
We embrace the crown
