He rides the wave, aspiring slave The prince of darkness plays his games You're hypnotized, under velvet skies He breathes the red wind 'cross your eyes
missed you Welcome home, we've opened up the gates Welcome home to your brothers and sisters Welcome home to an accident of birth To an accident of birth
There, on a lonely desert hilltop The pilgrims huddle closer Waiting for a sign, the coming silver shrine The arc of space and time Truth, oh, the truth
Here, in a church, a small boy is kneeling He prays to a god he does not know, he cannot feel All of his sins of childhood he will remember He will not
(Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh) (Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh) The ashes drift away, smoke of our confusion We turn our frightened faces
Who stole your heartbeat in the night? The acolytes fearful in the flickering light They hold a mirror to catch the breath from your mouth But your breath
I came from nothing before nothing began Broke the window of existence and became a man No sympathy for fools My star is black and burned I tilt towards
In your hour of darkness be not afraid As the moonlight shivers on your grave Come back to find you here Save you from the danger Come back to lead you
You come on down to the pit Come on down to where the vipers spit I've been waiting for you down here Cover your eyes with the velvet hands of darkness
I mean you no harm Come closer, learn the truth Come closer, learn the truth Come Bless me, mother, for I have sinned
missed you Welcome home - we've opened up the gates Welcome home - to your brothers and sisters Welcome home - to an accident of birth (to an accident of birth

I am the teacher, come to reach ya Take the old words back to you You were lost, but I found you And it's your choice what to do I've learned a few things
