lyrics

I dreamt the night would let me be awhile
with the sweet gust of earth from the mouth of the rain

but the end was creeping ‘round my door
I welcomed him in and asked for more

Have you come to take my ghost?
Have you come to wake my memories of hope?
Would you forgive that howling host? Oh you heard me.
Would you believe the lies he told?

And while I have read of darker gods
this was the one who’d fool the odds
How innocent the sleep in the darkness of my mother
And how wicked I had turned when the end came for me

But I know in my veins, that this road was meant for me
And though he whispered no lies, I knew I would lose everyone
Oh I dreamed I would leave before they would rise, rise with the thunder
But there are no tricks left to play and no miracles left to believe

And while I have read of darker gods
this was the one who’d fool the odds

Now there’s a blood thirst in my eye,
with the will to live beyond my death
So why would I promise you my ghost? Oh you heard me
How could you believe the lies he told?

And while the end was creeping ‘round my door
I welcomed him in and asked for more

But there is no true magic in here
Oh there is no true magic in here
Oh there is no true magic in here
Oh there is no true magic in here
Oh there is no true magic in here
Oh there is no true magic in here
Oh there is no true magic in here
Oh there is no true magic in here

Oh there is no true magic for me
