(One brings shadow, one brings light) (Two-toned echoes tumbling through time) (Threescore wasted, ten cast aside) (Four-fold knowing, no end in sight) (One brings shadow, one brings light) (Two-toned echoes tumbling through time) (Threescore wasted, ten cast aside) (Four-fold knowing, no end in sight) All our splendour bathed black in silence Our surrender a sombre reverie Slowly drifting down into twilight Left to sifting through faded memories Know our places, for worth is wordless Evanescent, this writing on the wall Brother stay this descent to madness Come and save us. Catch us before we fall (Riding home) (Dying hope) (Finding home) (Hold onto hope) Like broken angels, wingless, cast from heavens' gates (Our slumb'ring demons awake) We only fly when falling, falling far from grace (Hell take us, heaven can wait) Our lives a message in a bottle cast to sea (Disgrace untold and unseen) Quick to their ends, our candles burn until we're free In monochrome melodies Our tears are painted in red (Bleeding to the edge) Deep inside we're nothing more Than scions and sinners In the rain Do light and darkness fade Yes, time circles endlessly The hands of fate trained ahead (Pointing to the edge) All things change, drawn to the flame To rise from the ashes. To begin We first must see the end (One brings shadow, one brings light) (Two-toned echoes tumbling through time) (Threescore wasted, ten cast aside) (Four-fold knowing, no end in sight) (One brings shadow, one brings light) (Two-toned echoes tumbling through time) (Threescore wasted, ten cast aside) (Four-fold knowing, no end in sight) All our splendour bathed black in silence Our surrender a sombre reverie Slowly drifting down into twilight Left to sifting through faded memories Know our places, for worth is wordless Evanescent, this writing on the wall Brother stay this descent to madness Come and save us.

To begin We first must see the end
DEEP INSIDE, WE'RE NOTHING MORE
THAN SCIONS AND SINNERS
