A Portrait for the Deceased Lyrics by Architects

Nightmares

2006

Piano wire strangling our necks
We are both silenced
We're sure this does not add up
Still we try and place our bets
We're sure this does not add up
Still we're dying
Dying, dying
Make the call
Our people versus yours
Never did make much sense
Your people versus mine
Light me up
It's all too much for me
Never did make much sense
Piano wire strangling our necks
We are both silenced
Come dance with me
We'll go out the sea
Come dance with me
We'll go out the sea
The sky was blood read
Images of people dead
Stained with the shadows
Of our past victims
We're out at sea
Then come and drown with me
Drown with me
The sky was blood read
Stained with the shadows of our past victims
Shadows of our past victims
We'll drift away
Corpses lifeless
We'll drift away
We'll drift away
Corpses lifeless
We'll drift away
Float away
Our corpses lifeless
Then somehow tell me we made sense
Then somehow tell me we made sense
We made sense
We made sense
Then somehow tell me we made sense
