mystery black
where are you hiding?
underneath ash
is that you weeping?

mystery black
where are you running from?
do you regret the burning innocents?
are you crying for innocence?

i swam a salty river to come to see you
i see the glimmer dissipating
you got to the them before they got to you
but it's not them that's fading

mystery black
sweet condescending truth
all our fates lie in your umbra
who'll care when the rain washes you away

you took your place at the execution
i saw the furnace in your eyes
you had to enact your retribution
now you're being forgotten
silently crucified...
