lyrics

i'm dreaming of the seaming on the cloth the seamstress sews the emblem on my jacket of an arrow and a yoke the oracle foresees impatience is his mortal sin the riddle's answer lies inside the labyrinth within bury my bones where the grass don't grow i can't breathe since i let you go i've been waiting such a long long time wasting away in my clouded shrine old man winter wants to steal my crown for iniquitous reaping he will hunt me down with the frozen blade of the chevalier and the jack of spades is the heir to chariot is fastened to a dog with burning wings the heretic recants the devil's chorus that he sings the knot was not untied but cut the clock will strike thirteen phantoms fight to pull the strings of the pawns you lie between condemnation of a lonesome ghost the realm of shadow is his greatest foe moonlight journals of an ancient strife modern marvels of civilian life bury my bones where the grass don't grow i can't breathe since i let you go i've been waiting such a long long time wasting away in my clouded shrine ascending openly unto his throne from the heart of the pit where the thieves were stoned a serpent struggles to remain untied a king is crowned when the end is nigh condemnation of a lonesome ghost the realm of shadow is his greatest foe moonlight journals of an ancient strife modern marvels of civilian life bury my bones where the grass don't grow i can't breathe since i let you go i've been waiting such a long long time wasting away in my clouded shrine
