Tracing oil trails and streaks of black,
Serpentine, to certainties that never leave you
Impact at the start of the escape,
Far away, where no-one's coming to relieve you

Excandescent star, swallowing your heart
Excandescent star, swallowing your heart

Betrayal's bible is handmade and heavyweight,
And best of all it's open ended

Excandescent star, swallowing your heart
Excandescent star, swallowing your heart

Why do you stay if nothings left to save?
Eyewitness at the gate there to validate,
The claim that faith is not too far from fate
Sealed to the page, the place you might be safe

The weapon comes to cure the wound; it's overdue
You keep the evidence to prove it,
And read the scraps like clinging leaves of tea,
But all I see is accidents, so rise above it

Excandescent star, swallowing your heart
Excandescent star, swallowing your heart

Why do you stay if nothings left to save?
Eyewitness at the gate there to validate,
The claim that faith is not too far from fate
Sealed to the page, the place you might be safe

Is this superstition the one thing to add up?
Your trust that everything will turn to dust
Is evidence enough

Betrayal's bible is handmade and heavyweight,
And best of all it's open ended

Why do you stay if nothings left to save?
Eyewitness at the gate there to validate,
The claim that faith is not too far from fate
Sealed to the page, the place you might be safe
