[Verse]
Fleeter even than Mercury
He flies inside the walls he calls his own
He came hidin' but now I see
He looks like everyone I've ever known
He comes bearin' a sacrifice
I know him by the rose that's in his hand
I've been listenin' to his advice
I hear the words but I can't understand

[Chorus 1]
His moon mirage is shinin'
Shiftin' the things that he can't endure
But all through the darkness his pain is pure

[Verse]
Fleeter than even Mercury
He flies inside the walls he calls his own
He came hidin' but now I see
He looks like everyone I've ever known
He comes bearin' a sacrifice
I know him by the rose that's in his hand
I've been listenin' to his advice
I hear the words but can't understand

[Chorus 2]
His moon mirage is shinin'
Through his veins flows a fool's gold flood
But through the rose in his hand flows blood
