IQ - The Road Of Bones lyrics

rate me

And morning finds my night's work.

Lights the remnants on display

I do not seek forgiveness

Nothing to absolve

For now the need is met

I almost hate myself

Almost, but not quite

They survey the frozen scene,

The cold countenance of hell

And they hang their heavy heads

I’m seen as death itself.

Fear that holds this fragile town

Extends for miles around

I’ve taken all control

For I am someone now.

The shadow cross my face

All the signs of my mistakes,

Shallow graves I mark with stones

As I walk the road of bones.

We dance our unkind, compelling dance,

The arcane ritual observed,

I will see this whole thing through

If I just keep my nerve.

All the journeys I’ve retraced

To return me to this place,

I do not walk alone,

As I build the road of bones.

The dumb shock of reactions what it's for

Full of nothing and I won’t be ignored

They got sirens and all that nervous force

They concede a good death's its own reward

The shadow cross my face

All the futures laid to waste

Shallow graves I mark with stones

As I walk the road of bones.
