The heat has a taste
It tastes like a flame
You drink up the flame, and it burns your flesh away

And in the city of clouds
You're just a face in the crowd
But you take up your place
And you throw yourself away
Everyday of your life

Well, take a breath, and take a seat, and take your medicine

Close your eyes, and cauterize the wound you're opening

Well, all these lives, that make no sense
All along we cry in our defense

And all of us go down slow
And then we rise again
And just like a tide on the sea
We lower and rise again

Well, and the days go by and the nights all feel the same

And the beast in your eyes slowly becomes tame
Someday you will change
Hey hey hey hey
This world has gone and drug us along
And nothing's the same, and it will never be again
It's never gonna be the same

And all these lives that make no sense
All along we cry in our defense
All of us go down slow
Then we rise again
But just like the tide on the sea
We lower and rise again, and again

I said, the days go by and the nights all feel the same
And the beast in your eyes, slowly becomes tame and dim
Someday never comes

Ooh!

The snake strikes
To give
Life!

(Live, extended ending):
The sutra is clarified, the Serpent it strikes
The tail is its target in the circle it bites
