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
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 tongue

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 the midnight hands

The lines cross 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
Whenever you decide to leave
I will follow
I will follow

I'll bear all the falls you take (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 (I will follow)
Wherever you might go (I will follow
Wherever you decide to leave (I will follow)
