lyrics

Open up your eyes!
A burst of glory scatters
Across the night sky
Angelic host of old
They are as bright
As midnight winter air is cold
Fires so devine!

Misery, my lady!
Your hands, why are they shaking?
It was just a matter of time, just a matter of..
These ghosts were meant for haunting
Bones were meant for wanting
It was just a matter of time
Just a matter of life

The Watchers know our form
Shifting shadows
In the heart of every storm's collide
In distant times they swore
Upon our birth, "We will never cut your chord
You are ours for life!"

Misery, my lady!
Your hands, why are they shaking?
It was just a matter of time, just a matter of..
These ghosts were meant for haunting
Bones were meant for wanting
It was just a matter of time
Just a matter of life

If you want, I know you can
See this with your own eyes
In a full force and high contrast
The night is full of light

Misery, my lady!
Your hands, why are they shaking?
It was just a matter of time, just a matter of..
These ghosts were meant for haunting
Bones were meant for wanting
It was just a matter of time
Just a matter of life
