The Tear Garden – A Ship Named Despair lyrics

do you feel the flame that's burning
as the candle dies
do you see the spirits stirring
as you close your eyes
do you sense the slow advancement
as the twilight thins
do you see the serpent dancing
as it sheds its skin
does the sun renounce its kingdom
as the shadows fall
does a fool rejoice in wisdom
when the raven calls
do you embrace the dancing clayman
as he tears your flesh
do you hear the souls screaming
in the serpents mesh
do you need the consolation
of a dead mans hand
as the tears of desolation
flood a dead mans land
do you seek your souls redemption
under fervent skies
don't you see your own reflection
in the serpents eye
