The Other Ones

The Other Ones - Only The Strange Remain lyrics

Your rating:

I've been searching in sectors both private and dark

With the eye of a witness - silent and stark

Seen everything that goes on in the night

Things that are twisted and hide from the light

Things that live under the rock and the stone

Flesh like a fever on a platter of bone

Blacker than blackness and whiter than white

Things that live only on the edges of sight



So I pack my sack with a fistful of fire

There are cutthroats and thieves in this night of 

desire

Who steals this treasure must contend with its flame

Where only the strange remain



Yea, only the strange remain



Only the strange remain

Only the strange remain

Only the strange remain



Looking deep and then deeper into every face

Past beauty and wisdom, past gender and race

I see a lone hungry wolf in a shining blue flame

And only the strange remain



I'm dying of thirst with a drink in my hand

Praying for something that I don't understand

One foot on the gravel, one foot in the sky

Too reckless to live and too careful to die



When the moment has passed

With death at the door

Will I still look for answers


Will I still beg for more?

Will I slip into silence or ride with the pain

Where only the strange remain



Yea, yea, yea

Only the strange remain

Only the strange remain

Only the strange remain



Tell me friend, have you noticed of late

How only the strange remain?

I'm speaking about the cream of the strange

Not the merely weird, out of sight or insane

No, only the strange remain

Only the strange remain



They keep on talking just to rattle their teeth

A light coat of surface and nothing beneath

They're fishing for answers with love as the bait

Related to something that time doesn't date

Soon as it's spoken, it no longer applies

Words twist and stutter and deliver up sighs



If truth is impossible, so is the lie

There's no in-between, you can't swim, you can't fly

At the uttermost link at the end of our chain

Only the strange remain

Only the strange remain



In the dark of silence the strange remain

Yea, only the strange remain



Only the strange remain

Only the strange remain

Only the strange remain
