[Verse 1: Mikael Åkerfeldt]
Now my dear friend
Now for your sin
You're to suffer
Here it begins

[Verse 2: Mikael Åkerfeldt]
Drag ropes forward
Shame will save you
Out moves inward
Turn of the screw

[Verse 3: Mikael Åkerfeldt]
Gallows free you
Dawn's relief
Hood to blind you
Be at peace

[Chorus: Steven Wilson]
I was mortal but I am your
Friend to stay and
Be (be) beside you
Always (here) here and
(I'm human too)
Always with you now
[Bridge: Wilson & Åkerfeldt]
Lies are manifold and the truth is told x4
(are manifold and the truth can now be told)

[Repeat Verse 1]

[Chorus]
