Who are you, stranger, and where did you get those glowing eyes
Are you just another feigning dream, or are you as real as you seem?
Why do you follow me like a haunting glimpse of clarity
Why can't I escape the unabashed warmth of your waning company?
Tell me how to find you, and I'll burn the coils that bind you
Take my hand and lead me home again
If it's simply life that tests me, why do I still feel you rest against me?
Who are you, spirit stranger, and where does this story end?
Oh, the life lost in the ammunition memories
Taken like a drug to numb the agony
How can you say the words and seal the heart
Just to see it all fragment, ripped apart,
Now there's nothing left to hold onto, but the song borne
From the fires of your effigy
And I can see you as clear as the hign noon sun
And it seems my fall has only just begun
Such simple peace departed as quickly as it came
Left to wonder if this world bereft of you can ever be the same
If it's this life that tests me, will you be there for the fall?
Where are you, spirit stranger, how I pray you hear my call...
Who are you, stranger, why reveal yourself to me?
Are you the ghost of my design, your eyes are all I need to see
To look beyond the tomb, like heaven's gift of clarity
Don't let me leave your side again, don't let these bullets write our end
My life is yours to shelter, I'm enamored by the sway
But now you're lost to heaven's gate, oh, now you've gone away
And I've grown restless of the fight, just say you'll find the way tonight
Make haste, my spirit stranger, I'll keep you safe as we take flight
Taken like a drug to kill the switch
Taken to the heart like a heartstring stitch
I can still hear her speak, and they took her away
But I'll find her someday, and together we'll say
There's still something to hold on to, and now we've won
We'll burn together in the effigy...
