When I started asking questions you were nowhere to be found
When I begged for your protection you were nowhere to be found
Disappointed in your children, did you leave us here to drown?
Have you sacrificed the kingdom? Have you given up your crown?

Only in death will I receive a definite answer to that mystery

I gave you faulted vision so you'd fall in love with sound
You cause your own misfortune to use it in a verse
When so many around you have got it so much worse

Only in death will I receive a definite answer to that mystery
Lonely in death, will it repeat? No one can promise what you're promising me.

Nothing diminished, the influence hangs over, gray cloud
Misinformation always comes unwound

Only in death will I receive a definite answer to that mystery
