(w/vocals)
Sometimes, for a moment of bliss,
And the passion we're craving,
There's a message we miss.
Sometimes when, the spirit's left alone,
We must believe in something.
To find it we've grown.

Sometimes, if you're perfectly still
You can hear the virgin weeping
For the savior of your will
Sometimes, your castles in the air
And the fantasies you're seeking
Are the crosses you bear.

(w/vocals)
We fabricate our demons, invite them into our homes.
Have supper with the aliens, and fight the war alone.
We conjure up our skeletons, enlist the den of theives.
Frightened from our closets then sewn upon our sleeves.
