[Verse 1]
For the one waiting
A last day must come
Lock a cold chain
Around the hoping heart
A veil of shame
And sooner or later
The race will be on
Competing in depravity
The sordid game
Nights to come

[Chorus]
Gradual descent
Red narcotic horizon
Resist no more
The future is not ours to evaluate
I've changed therefore

[Verse 2]
Gave up the semblance
The varnish dissolved
My currency expired
See the pact waning
Through the liquid еye
[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
Gradual descent
Rеd narcotic horizon
Resist no more
(Claim the defeating prize)
The future is not ours to evaluate
I've changed therefore

[Outro]
My belongings all packed away
Elsewhere in the city
I remember the light of the day
Off-white and elusive
