"The Illuminated" lyrics

"The Illuminated"

Daylight comes to these empty city streets
The smell of the pine trees and the bodies at our feet
What a way to spend Christmas this year, ain't it babe?

Black sun
One world one
One world won
Under a reign of blood
These burnin' skies
Dark as a plague of flies
Forever and ever and ever
Together illuminate you and I

Reptiles with red shields on their doors
That hide from the eyes
And wage world wars
Can't hold a candle to the power
That I've got for you
All the things that will die
All the dreams I've buried deep inside
Can't compare to what will live
Because of you

Black sun
One world one
One world won
Under a reign of blood
These burnin' skies
Dark as a plague of flies
Forever and ever and ever
Together illuminate you and I

One world one
One world won
Under a reign of blood
These burnin' skies
Dark as a plague of flies
Forever and ever and ever
Together illuminate You and I
