In a town
Where the black sun never sets
Everyone is silent
Working as if by magic
In a room surrounded
By metal walls
I sleep like the dead
Until morning
I can't see you
My eyes can't see
The god who created us
Coppelia's casket
People dance like dolls
Like lambs to the altar
Where do these dreams lead
As their mechanism turns?
The end of the world
Has been foretold
Soldiers beat down
Their neighbors' doors
Thousands of fingers
Like wings
Flex and fold
As only prayers rise up
I can't meet you
I can't meet you here
The god who will save us
Coppelia's casket
The tears I've cried have long since dried
A bloodthirsty loneliness
Death dances
With the scent of angels' hair
Yet still I want to touch
I want to grab hold with these hands
The one love that will protect us
Coppelia's heartbeat
To live is to know pain
The shoes once discarded
Now ring out again
As I begin to walk without hesitation
Coppelia's casket
The light awakened from the darkness
Like lambs to the altar
Where do these dreams lead
Now that their screw has broken off?
