[Verse 1]
The night has bitten to the core of me
It sinks its teeth in as this ship fades in the cold
Trembling as the walls will laugh and bleed
I'm never in reverie, but in black and gold

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Everybody tries to blame it on the give and take in the duality of life
There's a dagger and it lingers in the mind's eye
Open to devils and the like

[Bridge]
They take me, they take me
They take me a long way down

[Chorus]
Dance upon the water
Watch as the demons set afire
Hold the head below and choke as the heathens drown a while

[Post Chorus]
Darkness is swelling up all inside me
I'm reaching for the air

[Guitar Solo]
[Verse2]
The night is tearing down the walls in me
I long for touches of nothing
Everything goes black as I bleed

[Pre-Chorus 2]
There's a dagger and it lingers in the mind's eye
Open to devils and the like

[Bridge]
They take me, they take me
They take me a long way down

[Chorus]
Dance upon the water
Watch as the demons set afire
Hold the head below and choke as the heathens drown a while [4X]
