They always come crawling back And whatever walks there walks alone Only the dead know Only the dead know Tears in the fabric Lurking in the shadows In the doorways of unreality He says his name is death The truth is, he is something worse Only the dead know Only the dead know Experience the true reality Beyond the curtain Beyond all sight and sound Consciousness collapsing all around us This is the veil being lifted They waited It comes It comes in It comes It comes in waves It comes It comes in It comes It comes in waves It comes It comes in It comes It comes in waves Wishing away the sand Washing away all you love The days of darkness The absence of light Washing away all you love Breath of God Gaze of the old It comes in waves
