“If We Rose”

We live in our way
under the ground in dirt
No ears to hear sound,
no nerves for hurt
We’ve no anxieties to test
We are unquiet in our rest.

If we rose, we would be unstoppable
Your little bubble of world is poppable
We could end everything you’ve ever known for you
But we don’t give a flying bone for you.

Because we dance forever, we the sleepless dead.
Because we dance forever, we the sleepless dead.

If we rose, we would be unstoppable
Your little glass world is droppable
We could end everything you’ve ever known for you
But we don’t give a hunk of stone for you.

Because we dance forever, we the sleepless dead.
Because we dance forever, we the sleepless dead.

In movies, we sometimes bring apocalypse
And truly, yes, the world is at our fingertips
But the world hold neither charm nor attraction.
We partake in neither harm nor inaction.

If we rose, we would be unstopping
Your lifespans are rapidly dropping
We could end everything you’ve ever wanted, friend
We’d make you wish you were only haunted, friend.

Because we dance forever, we the sleepless dead.
Because we dance forever, we the sleepless dead.

Fear us, fear us, fear us well you should
You are near us, near us, near us and that is not good.
But we’ve walked the mortal land, and it is Hollow.
The tomb’s a Royal Court. We other pleasures follow.

If we rose, we would be unstoppable
Your little bubble of world is poppable
We could end everything you’ve ever known for you
But we don’t give a flying bone for you.

Because we dance forever, we the sleepless dead.
Because we dance forever, we the sleepless dead.
