7 Lyrics When the day are cold And the card are fold And the saints we see Are all made of cold Rhyme Hyperbole When your dreams all fail And the ones we hail Rhyme Are the worst of all And the blood s run stale I want to hide the truth I want to shelter you But with the beast inside There s nowhere we can hide No matter what we breed We still are made of greed This is my kingdom come This is my kingdom come Rhyme Repetition

8 When you feel my heat Look into my eyes Don t get too close It s dark inside Repetition When the curtain s call Is the last of all When the lights fade out All the sinners crawl So they dug your grave And the masquerade Will come calling out At the mess you made Rhyme

9 Don t want to let you down But I am hell bound Though this is all for you Don t want to hide the truth No matter what we breed We still are made of greed This is my kingdom come This is my kingdom come Rhyme Hyperbole Allusion Rhyme Repetition When you feel my heat Look into my eyes Don t get too close It s dark inside Repetition

10 They say it's what you make I say it's up to fate It's woven in my soul I need to let you go Your eyes, they shine so bright I want to save their light Rhyme I can't escape this now Unless you show me how When you feel my heat Look into my eyes Don t get too close It s dark inside Repetition
