Artificial Lights Songtext
von Nitritt

I try to stay awake tonight
I′ve never seen the sky so bright
It's specked with stars
Behind iron bars
In the corners of my mind
A dream of an unfaithful kind
Lie waiting and fading
It doesn′t matter if I try
To fetch it back or if I cry
To Jesus or Lucifer

'Cause when I look and stare about me
All that I perceive deceives me
Bright as day
Shines in my face
'Cause I dream of a darker day
To eclipse the night
So I can see all the stars
Without artificial lights


My feet are sore, my arms are heavy
And yet I find no rest
All burdens lie upon my shoulders
The scream within my chest
I toss and turn, I watch you burn
I watch you disappear
My eyes close as I close your eyes
And know I can′t be near you again

I try to put the lights out
But they won′t flicker when I shout
Of doom and hell
Their tolling bell

'Cause in the day and in the mist
A star is fighting to persist
And so it seems
Wrong were my dreams
The gods of sub-divinity
Will live on through infinity
And see my name

I slew the game
The game of just manipulation
I am fearsome slave and left to
Move to die

But I won′t cry


'Cause I dream of a darker day
To eclipse the night
So I can see all the stars
Without artificial lights

My feet are sore, my arms are heavy
And yet I find no rest
All burdens lie upon my shoulders
The scream within my chest
I toss and turn, I watch you burn
I watch you disappear
My eyes close as I close your eyes
And know I can′t be near you again

My feet are sore, my arms are heavy
And yet I find no rest
All burdens lie upon my shoulders
The scream within my chest
I toss and turn, I watch you burn
I watch you disappear
My eyes close as I close your eyes
And know I can't be near you again

My feet are sore, my arms are heavy
And yet I find no rest
All burdens lie upon my shoulders
The scream within my chest
I toss and turn, I watch you burn
I watch you disappear
My eyes close as I close your eyes
And know I can′t be near you again
Again
Again
