Morningstar

from Scarlet Road by Thannos

lyrics

From the first day of creation
There were things one shouldn't touch
Yes, I know all about it
Because she told me as much

And we drank the wine
Then she consigned her secret fruit to me
I ate it all at once
And said "I best be on my way"

Tell me what am I supposed to do
With reoccuring dreams of you
I had to find an answer in your eyes

'Cause from the first time that I saw you
You have always been the one
To make me stay, I pumped the brakes
But failed

I've forgotten how to fly
But let me say I try my best
I ain't got wings to lift me
But at times I do have friends

Now I'm crossing borders
Racing like a radical monsoon
Sometimes I dwell in melancholy
Chatting with the Moon

And I say:
"Tell me what I'm supposed to do
With all these scattered dreams of you"
I seldom find an answer in your eyes
All those faded blistered notions
Left me stone-cold and unconscious
As I took the fall I understood it all

If what the say ain't what they mean
Then what they mean can mean no good
This world is built on subterfuge
I'd change it if I could

Oh, but greed is prideful lust
For what those sloths cannot possess
They can't fulfil their appetite
And starting to get mad

And if this generated slaughter
Ain't enough to make you sad
Well, look at me, I've cried my share
Perhaps it's now your turn

All that I'm left with now is freedom
And I craved it for so long
Fought past my inhibitions
But success can kill a goal

Still I don't know what I'm supposed to do
With all these faded dreams of you
I once saw my reflection in your eyes
And it burned just like an ember
Shining all the way to heaven
Maybe one day I'll be someone's Morningstar

And through the disappearing halls of history
We're jumping back and forth ahead of time
And when every knowledge fades
I'll keep on bending 'til I break
Then I can redefine this puzzle from the start
All the things that I've forgotten
The subversion that I plotted
And the fact that living way too fast
Is bound to bring you down

But from the first day I could walk
Well, I was walking straight to you
I may've been doused in ignorance
But know this much is true

Now won't you tell me, does this shrine of lies
shine brighter than the truth?
I wouldn't know now, would I?
All I ever see is stars

And every sunset holds a secret
Like a dead man's fingerprints
It strikes me as a diamond
Bloody, prosperous, offbeat

Oh, but I see the roads diverging
And I know I gotta choose
I don't think you will follow
So I've got nothing to lose

And there is nothing else that I can do
With these forgotten dreams of you
My God, what would I pay to see your eyes
But I must first complete a mission
This Unholy Inquisition
Has been on my fucking trail since Earth begun
If you wish to find me
Chase the Morningstar
