Your mystery
The ebb and flow of misery
How much darkness
Is needed to see the stars?
How much harm must
I feel to heal your scars

You're the author of this nightmare
You're the engineer of our distress
Ooh, you're the emperor of nowhere
And no one gets out alive
No one gets out alive from here
These wings are drenched
From ambivalence, a slow descent

How much darkness
Is needed to see the stars?
How much harm must
I feel to heal your scars
You're the author of this nightmare
You're the engineer of our distress
Ooh, you're the emperor of nowhere
And no one gets out alive
No one gets out alive from here

What can't endure
Can't be cured
Will surely end

You're the author of this nightmare
You're the engineer of our distress
Ooh, you're the emperor of nowhere
And no one gets out alive
No one gets out alive
And no one gets out alive
No one gets out alive
And no one gets out alive
No one gets out alive from here
