If I speak much louder will you hear me where you are?
I’ll light that beacon now

I drank enough to drown what life had offered as a gift
My broken heart can’t swim
I opened up a door to find out where my heroes went
Is my heart like theirs now?

Refrain:
One more lotus on the shore
And we may never set sail again
Dream, dream, take me back again
After you there’s nothing left

If I speak much louder will you hear me where you are?
I’ll light that beacon now
If I let the pull of yearning steal me from this course
You’ll never find me then

Refrain:
One more lotus on the shore
And we may never set sail again
Dream, dream, take me back again
After you there’s nothing left

I drank enough to drown what life had offered as a gift
My broken heart can’t swim
I pushed aside a world to find one suitable for us
Just listen and we’re there

Refrain:
One more lotus on the shore
And we may never set sail again
Dream, dream, take me back again
After you there’s nothing left

One more lotus on the shore
And we may never set sail again
Dream, dream, take me back again
After you there’s nothing left

Someone has to pay
For me
Oh will you suffer in my place?
You said you loved me
No, not one more hour
I might not make it through

Someone had to say
Don’t stare if I crumble in disgrace
I promise not to fall before the hour
I promise not to wane

You were there and we never fell
When the sky was alive
With the sound of someone else
You can see if it’s all we need
When I catch my heal
I will never waver

Someone had to say
Don’t stare at me with torpor and disdain
I promise not to fall before the hour
of darkness and dismay

You were there and we never fell
When the sky was alive
With the sound of somewhere else
You can see if it’s all we need
When I catch my heal
I will never waver

Someone had to pay
Someone has to pay
Someone has to pay
I guess it will be me

Harlot of nations
Abominations
Of the world and all her adulteries

Mystery, Babylon
Mother of harlots
Abominations
The rise and fall of Rome
The rise and fall of Rome
Mystery, Babylon
Mother of harlots
Abominations of the earth
Abominations of the earth

Refrain:
I saw it all, she rode in
Soaked in the blood
The blood of men

Mystery, Babylon
Mother of harlots
Abominations
New Babylon the great
She sits on many waters
Mystery, Babylon
Mother of harlots
Abominations of the earth
Abominations of the earth

Refrain:
I saw it all, she rode in
Soaked in the blood
The blood of men

Mystery, Babylon
Mother of harlots
Abominations of the earth
The great adulteress
Has been with all the kings
Mystery, Babylon
Mother of harlots
Abominations of the earth
Seven heads and ten horns

Refrain:
I saw it all, she rode in
Soaked in the blood
The blood of men

Live for life
So light the lights

Broken, it seems
Are you here for my dreams?
Well you can’t have them too
They’re locked away forever
It’s cold here inside
But I know where they hide
No, I won’t fall in line
You won’t troll my endeavors

Endeavors, endeavors
My heart’s in a hole
Will you fetch it for me?

Broken, it seems
Are you here for my dreams?
Well they’re not keeping time
And it’s falling apart
It’s cold here at bay
But I know where they stay
No, I won’t fall in line
You won’t troll my endeavors

Endeavors endeavors
My heart’s in a hole
Will you fetch it for me?

We’ll fall to the ground
with the weight of the sorrow
We’ll sing to the sound
of the now greying morrow
To keep your heart now
I shall beg, steal, and borrow
What I gave you today
Just might hurt you tomorrow

To keep your heart now
I shall beg, steal, and borrow
And I hold your gaze now
But tomorrow
Will you still love me?
