Midnight Hands

Like a new day rising
Like a calm before the storm
Like fog lifting from valleys
On the sleeping forest floor
Eyes open slowly
As the dust is shaken off
To gaze upon the wreckage
That the midnight hands have wrought
And now I feel my temperature rising
My body explodes
I feel like somebody's watching
Like I'm not alone
I stop dying but right there and say that
Whatever path you take
And wherever you might go
Whenever you decide to leave
I will follow, I will follow
We face the crossroads
Never knowing what's in store
There's an angel on my shoulder
There's a devil in my door
She proclaimed
Tonight will be the greatest of our lives
I said, "Don't be so sure
Let's just wait until the morning"
I feel my temperature rising
My body explodes
I feel like somebody's watching
Like I'm not alone
I stop dying but right there and say that
Whatever path you take
And wherever you might go
Whenever you decide to leave
I will follow, I will follow
There in the clearing we gather close
Under the moon's pale light we lay out the tools
And you don't have to do this
And I forgive you if you don't
She just looked away and said, "I know"
Gripping the midnight hands
We dream of futures they would prevent
Gripping their midnight hands
The line's crosses over
The dawn grows closer
In spite of too much
It's just with a blind trust
In order of our blind faith
Whatever path you take
And wherever you might go
And whenever you decide to leave
I'll follow, I'll follow
I'll bear all the falls you take
I will let go if you decide to stay
I'll be there until you go away from here
I'll follow, I will follow, I will follow
Whatever path you take
And wherever you might go
Whenever you decide to leave
I will follow, oh
