Punish My Heaven
We are the outstretched fingersthat seize and hold the wind...
The strangeness of awakeningin an oh so silent worldBreathlessly waitingfor the first proud beams of lightAs the hours grow longerand the shadows never fallMy sky has forsaken meMy desperation grows
Bring me the lightin the darkness that never endsthe dawn will never comepunish my heaven
[that's right, you'll suffer my punishment]
We have arrivedat the outermost crossroadsThe charge of cosmosat our atmospheric skieswill cause our fall[our downfall]
If I had wings, would I be forgiving?If I had horns,would there be flames to shy my smile?[Yes, there were indeed/Unless I'm worthy]
Hymns of loss are heardfrom the masses in the streetspraising the last of daysI punish
Bring me the nightin the fires that never endThe dawn will never comePunish my heaven
The charge of cosmosCharging at us from unearthly distanceI challenge the universeIt's the choice between heaven and hell
My soul bears all the weight of mountainsAs mankind weaves its silent endCan there be no forgiveness?I curse the heaven above meAs the light sinks throughmy outstretched fingersFading in my open arms
Make each tear in my bare handsa lifetime in hellOn this last day of lightwhen our autumn leaves fellAnd as heaven itself commands meout of its lair[I fear not]My face lined with darkness I'll go!
