Mystery
A warning carved in a figure
Run before they see you
Lead you all away
Run before they know

This image
Can't be real
Diminish
Make me feel

I fall away
Like crumbling away
Where are all the names

A warming wind in the distance
Brings a colder morning
Mourning day and night
Brings a darker light

This shadow
Over me
Is growing
Now there are nine

I'm crying out
De profundis clamavi
Bleeding from the darkest
Beating heart
What is this I'm looking for
Who am I beyond this door

Show me something that I recognize
Show me answers to all this mystery

A warning cry of resistance
Sings to sleep a monster
Howling with the loons
And tolls an April bell

I hear it
In my mind
I fear it
It won't stop ringing

Time wear away
Time is rust wearing away
Greater than all grains
Of sand you see

Who is this I'm looking for
Who are you
What would I believe beyond all these doors
Now show me
Show me someone whom I recognize
Show me
Show me someone I can clearly see a mystery

What is this you're looking for
Who are you
Who are you behind this door
Who are you

Show me something that you recognize
Is it me
Knowing that you can now see
Clearly see everything

Clearly see everyone there
I can be anyone anywhere

And I'm waiting for someone
To come here and kill me
And become a part of me
Break them and make them me

Why am I here and who am I now
Who am I
What would I believe inside my mind
Who am I
Show me somewhere I can realize
Show me
Show me somewhere I can clearly be
My mystery

Where was it you were before
Where are you
Who are you and
Where are you now

Show me someone
That will never die
Die like me

I'll show you something that is always alive and
Dying to find and
Mine is a mystery
