Sentinel Lyrics by Stromkern

Light It Up

0

The warning came by mail
A music box wrapped in wire
Then a shadow broke through the door
Scanned the room and opened fire

And all that's good now flies away
To a place that knows no past
To rise and set forever
Like the sun, at last

And if it wasn't for me
Time would not be turning anymore
And if it wasn't for you
They would know the answer

And if it wasn't for me
Time would not be turning anymore
(Take away the blinds, I confess to any crime)

And if it wasn't for you
They would know the answer
(You don't feel it anymore, I know, I know, I know)

Burn, diorama, burn
What lesson will you learn?
See the world we knew burn
What lesson will we learn?

The diorama's all lit up
Hippie, teddy, firemen, and me
We're all waiting for our turn
For you to wind us up, you see

You hide between the pieces
Ensnared by ties that only you can feel
I throw in another shot
Kiss these claws
Try to believe that what you say is real

And if it wasn't for me
Time would not be turning anymore
(Take away the blinds, I confess to any crime)

And if it wasn't for you
They would know the answer
(You sell it anytime, I know, I know, I know)

And if it wasn't for me
Time would not be turning anymore
(Take away the blinds, we cannot lose this time)

And if it wasn't for you
They would know the answer
(You don't feel it anymore, I know, I know, I know)

The warning came by mail
A music box, wrapped in wire
Then an angel walked through the door
Scanned the room and opened fire

And all that's good now flies away
To a place that knows no past
And I rise and set forever
Like the sun, at last

And if it wasn't for me
Time would not be turning anymore
(Take away the blinds, I confess to any crime)

And if it wasn't for you
They would know the answer
(You don't feel it anymore, I know, I know, I know)

And if it wasn't for me
Time would not be turning anymore
(Take away the blinds, I confess to any crime)

And if it wasn't for you
They would know the answer
(You don't feel it anymore, I know, I know, I know)
