lyrics

Lost for the first time,

In the sad meetings of our world;

I met my enemy in a dream.

He posed as a loved one, who had passed on,

but I could see within the form he took—

the rot and the death when no one else could.

I said to my family in that dream:

Why won't you let him go? Why won't you let him die?

And then, the thing,

Within the stitched body spoke to me, and assured me

he had come back, and everything would be put right.

I could smell the sulfur and the death,

emanating from him

when no one else could see:

I have never felt a hate so strong,

I have never felt a hate so strong.

A face in the crowd,

(a face that looks like your own)

A voice in your mind,

(and in the footsteps behind)

A cold hand on your shoulder;

A face in the crowd,

(a face that looks like your own)

A voice in your mind,

(and in the footsteps behind)

A cold hand on your shoulder;

A face in the crowd.

The mind wanders endlessly,

as does the human heart;

Like an unclean spirit goes through arid places,

Seeking rest but never finds it,

I hollowed out my insides, and changed my form,

and I stared into the mirror

Far too long.

Most of our suffering, we’ve brought upon ourselves;

But, as a gift, you may see

A vision—of Hell.

A face in the crowd,

(a face that looks like your own)

A voice in your mind,

(and in the footsteps behind)

A cold hand on your shoulder;

A face in the crowd,

(a face that looks like your own)

A voice in your mind,

(and in the footsteps behind)

A cold hand on your shoulder;

A face in the crowd,

(a face that looks like your own)

A voice in your mind,

(and in the footsteps behind)

A cold hand on your shoulder;

A face in the crowd

(a face)

(a voice)
