LYRICS
loving
hating
hoping
faking
i’ve been digging through the dirt that was left behind
i've been dredging through the mud for it
there's nothing that’s alive or dead inside
in you or in this
the crucifix in my hand's a lie
cause nothing ever kills you
i watered down the pain till the well went dry
so pray for rain
and it gnawed
rose to the top again
back like a long-lost friend
a wretch that i can't defend
oh, my god
is this where the dreamer ends?
dark where the light had been
lost at the war within
and it clawed
back in the world again
here for new revenge
an enemy i can't condemn
oh, my god
is this where the liar ends?
dark where the light had been
lost at the war within
out of myself i feel it crawling
how can i tell if this is the ending
out of myself it began evolving
i am not well, repent i'm guilty
how can i tell if the sky is falling
how can i fix what there is no mending
how can i tell if i am not well
i've lost myself
i have come undone
and all of the horses
and all of the men
won't put it back in place
or bury it where it had been
when all of the forces
have been overrun
you'll whisper, serpent tongue
what you fear you have become
something wicked this way comes
something wicked this way comes
#STARSET #SOMETHING WICKED #HORIZONS
This entire album is one hell of an emotional trip.
That's me on the next WATE album too. Still waiting for that folk celtic rock comeback.
WATE im a huge fan ❤
Appreciate you guys! Thanks for supporting rock bands 🤘
@@WATEmusic Love you guys! Some of my favorites are Alone in the Snow, Kings and Clones, and Demon's Ride!
Very true ☺️
I love the line "i watered down the pain till the well went dry, so pray for rain"
It's like someone taking painkillers to ease the pain, but never adresses it's source.
This song explains what it feels like to fall into a trap where you work so hard to destroy what you hate the most only to become that very monster yourself. Right from the get-go, the album works itself up, curating feelings of joy, pride, and then into hatred, contempt and resentment for something, only to communicate to us that we've become that very thing we resent so much. Brilliant play all around, and wish they could do a live set piece of just this album.
The deeper meaning is always somewhere in these Starset songs, and I love how it's infinitely interpretable.
So true!
I feel like the song is far darker, hes clearly referring to sin. Its a warning, or some kind of omnious warning to someone who sins or commits wrong, that the illusion will be destroyed, you casted yourself into darkness. The person in question is struggling to distinguish between right and wrong, close to death? He refers to the serpent, the serpent is usually a moniker for Satan, this is really a weird song for starset lol.
@@Elmo914 really doubt it's actually about sin, I feel Dustin is using sin as a metaphor for something else concerning as he's always been pretty anti religion lol
Super late to this but the song is about addiction.
I was fully expecting this to be a heavy song though I'm not disappointed in the slightest. This has such an eerie vibe to it and I'm digging it!
Last song in the album had been a slower one since Vessels. This is actually heavy for their last song compared to the last few.
@@DaughterOfLilith08 I am well aware xD It has very Everglow/telekenetic vibes with how it builds up. I was simply expecting it to be something heavy the entire time.
@@artixi3291 and i was expecting soft, but it's heavier than i anticipated, lol
The build up is suspenseful, it's worth the wait
Reminds of dark on me
This speaks to my depression. I never really understood Diving Bell until I got PTSD & it triggered a major depressive episode. Then, suddenly, Diving Bell was the only song in my head and I couldn't explain why until I listened to it again... crazy how things can change like the flip of a switch.
i have a similar thing with perfect machine but not because of ptsd but because i had such a strong level of self hatred where this song speaks to that place kind of puts my soul back in place
I can also relate to Perfect Machine, along with Ricochet and Bringing It Down.
Yeah, Diving Bell really hits home, especially when I think about how bad my depression got before therapy and medication.
Same goes for me with Perfect Machine and now Tunnelvision because of my own experiences, they weren't good 😒
everything about this song is so goddamn perfect
the symbol being a corrupted version of the divisions logo, the lyrics, the ending, the symbolism, the song itself
it became my favourite of the album the moment it started playing and it won't leave my head for a while
I think it's also supposed to resemble a pentagram, based on the line "the crucifix in my hand's a lie"
@@e.ee.e7786 yeah, I love that detail too
@@e.ee.e7786 it’s mostly just the divisions simple turned upside down right
@@gabor7524 it's the divisions logo turned upside down with a circle around it, like a pentagram
@@gabor7524, It's an upside down pentagram with a circle around it which in the occult represents the goat's head. A symbol synonymous with the devil and the antichrist. The epitome of pure evil aka definitely "something wicked".
I was praying for a brutal breakdown at the end but deafening silence is cool too
Starset can do anything and still looks cool
Sometimes the most poignant part of a song can be the deafening silence afterwards where it's meaning sinks in even deeper.
It's really really missing a dramatic ending
the ending was more brutal than any scream it was so chilling and haunting
@@amazinggames4417 I agreeeee!!!
The whispering of something wicked this way comes after the loud singing/screaming sent chills down my back
“Something wicked this way comes” perfect ending to an album warning of the impending doom that approaches. Absolute chills. Masterful end to a flawless album
Transmissions: "Epic space feeling instrumental outro"
Vessels: "Epic orchestra outro"
Divisions: "Epic crowd people singing outro"
Horizons: "Silence"
Trueeeeep
It makes the song three times more ominous...
The apocalypse
*epic silence*
@@japo1005 Turn your volume up, don't know if you knew but at the end he whispers "Something Wicked This Way Comes..."
this...
this is art.
dustin whispering... is something I never knew I needed.
@Dragon On Coke noted
ASMRcore
Yes, Dustin should do a audiobook, I would listen to it forever, haha 😃❤
you can say that again
especially since you use it as your pfp
I love how Starset combines elements of Christianity and Folklore/Mythology with science and sci-fi when it comes to the lyrics and themes of their albums.
yeah, this song kind of reminded me of Demon Hunter's style. As I'm not well-versed in metal genre, there might actually be proper name for this kind of songs.
The slow rhythm at the end of the album reminds me of Everglow, even the screams. An extreme album and lead up into something angelic. God starset makes me want to cry so bad. The songs don't fill me with sadness or anything, it just makes me overwhelmed and peaceful. Being filled with something i can't explain.
I cried throughout the whole album because of this reason. Like every one of these songs made me overwhelmed with emotion and I can't really explain why
@@emmal6902 exactly!
@@emmal6902 This is starting to seem like a theme with this album. I’m glad I’m not alone.
Bro, I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought of Everglow.
@@LegendaryDorkKnight i expected it to be a long song too but all we got was the void (in the stream) lmao
My TOTALLY favorite. I just cant believe it, it's the best way to end an album EVER.
it's like this album's Everglow but like even better
@@dakotarineer7232 That is exactly what I was thinking too, I still like Everglow better though, but we‘ll see if that changes after a few more listens
my new favorite too its literally on repeat
@@encompassingambient3543 same! I love it so much
@@dakotarineer7232 I've been listening to it literally all day
I love that the symbol for this song is not only a pentagram, but the Divisions logo flipped upside down.
Ah yes, Purrfect Apawcalypse. I had a feeling I'd run into something PA related here being a part of it myself.
@@BlackoutBlakeOfficialYT Did not expect someone here to know of PA lol.
@@Hurricane3459 Lmao same.
Actually it’s called a pentacle someone told me but I thought the same lol. Obviously it was made to look demonic though.
@@zache8895 Learn something new every day!
You'll whisper, serpent tongue
What you fear you have become
What an eerie sound, how both Otherworldly and this one can be on same record is beyond me
I think that it makes sense, since the whole album, and most of the lyrics talk about light and trying to reach the light. But, at the end, every hope to be there has disappeared.
I think it's equivalent to grief. Or, at least, it is for me. When you are on the top of the world, and you spiral down to the abyss. You can go from Otherworldly to Somethink Wicked in a flash.
This felt like a very eerie and uneasy feeling cliffhanger for the album. Makes me think the next chapter (album) will be a lot darker.
oo I hope so
I don’t know why, but this song feels like a cliffhanger more than an ending. It’s just that because of how eerie and suspenseful it is, I feel that it’s hinting towards something bigger. Nevertheless, I absolutely loved this album and anticipate that it will grow on me big time. This is why I love Starset, because half the time I can’t tell whether I’m just listening to a song or watching a movie (that among many other reasons). Anyway, listening to this album all over again is going to be a huge task, but Starset made sure it’d be worth it to do over and over again.
Transmissions had us set with a great adventure. Vessels had us set on the horrible aftermath of that adventure. Divisions had us caught in a war. Horizons had us in the ending of that war. I fully expect the aftermath of the war to be the topic of the next album.
@@FaultyStar274 This is by far the greatest musical cliffhanger to date. Cannot wait to hear the next album!!!!!
@@FaultyStar274 No, I feel as if this CD caught us in the end of a human war. This, this is the setup for an intergalactic war. Something wicked this way comes.
@@jaydakotawest4401 that is a possibility
@@jaydakotawest4401 The quote "Something wicked this way comes" is out of a famous play called Macbeth, told by Shakespeare.
The quote is said by the 3 witches, it alludes to the fact that Macbeth carries the seeds to his own downfall. Why do I mention this? Well bc every poetry reference said up to this point in these songs had a fork of meaning which later had parallels to what it was referencing. Your theory is a good one, trust me no one has brought that up from what I've seen, but looking at this from a logical point I believe Dustin plans to show us what had happened to the Starset Society after this album.
why all final songs from starset albums are completely different from what I expected and still remains SO FUCKING GOOD?????????????
EVERGLOW
DIVING BELL
SOMETHING WICKED
THEY'RE ALL DIFFERENT FROM THE REST
Ora ora ora, uma br que curte starset???
@@picamolis7024 putz meu ingles n foi convincente
Don’t forget about Rise and Fall. That song is lit
@@annaleepena2790 Severely underrated song. It's goddamn perfect, and also their heaviest song (though Devolution gets close).
rise and fall was lit but wasn’t unexpected
Our local radio station here in Memphis 98.1 had a request on creepy songs for Halloween and I put this on there and it was a big hit everyone was calling to ask who this was lol
I didn't have the song list at hand when watching the live. So Infected stopped playing and I assumed it was over, then THIS started playing. And, my god. MY GOD. I could've died on that instant because I was so suprised, but, this track's just too good to let me die. Now it's my best memory of the release, and I absolutely adore it
The steam followed the album track list, which was freely available on any website selling the album (Amazon for example)
@@josephkreifelsii3734 yeah but searching for it would've made me stop watching the stream, as my phone was my only device
Saaaaaame. I really want to feel every day like that
This is such a great ending to the album. It leaves the listener with an eerie feeling, like calm before the storm, and goes especially in theme with Devolution and Infected. To me it serves as impending doom.
"Something wicked this way comes".
Now honestly, I was expecting some heavy screams there at the end, but instead got something better - deafening silence. Louder than any sound, as you try to take in and assimilate this breathless journey.
Absolutely amazing.
When I was watching the stream I was like "what else?" at the end. But it was a great ending for a brutal album.
It left me with an uneasy feeling because becoming what I feared the most is my biggest nightmare.
You, guys, know how to move my emotions. Great album.
i dont know what should i feel, so im feeling everything at the same time lol starset being starset....
Somehow i remember you from a comment in the transmissions album...
@@icewalocum9441 hi, yeah, it could be. I comment a lot on starset videos, sorry 😅
I think Transmissions remain my favorite album 😅
@@kodokunamurasaki yes! I know! It's just the feelings Starset could give
@@katiaromero7149 i used to try to make new friends in the comments of their videos, so Hi from Brazil XD
“By the pricking of my thumbs, something wicked this way comes.” They couldn’t have picked better quote! It really conveys the message of become your own worse enemy.
This song chills my spine so fucking much, it's bizarre
This song is amazing
@@funnyvalentine9848 i love when a Funny Valentine replies me lmao
I keep getting concerned looks in school whenever I play this song…
It’s even better when I start sing it as well because my voice carries that same ominous tone.
Remember how Diving Bell ends i think this probably fits.
@@opulenceharbingerofchaos3939 -Charles White, 2016, colorized.
I can't stop listening to this song. The whole album is truly amazing and definitely an emotional roller-coaster, but something about this song just hits different.
Like after an all out war with yourself...the darkness (depression, anxiety, ptsd, etc) was the last to rise just as you've fallen. Like winning was futile from the very beginning.
The ending is so ominous and harrowing. I really feel this song on a soulful level.
Dude same
out of myself i feel it crawling
how can i tell if this is the ending
out of myself it began evolving
i am not well, repent i'm guilty
how can i tell if the sky is falling
how can i fix what there is no mending
how can i tell if i am not well
i've lost myself
i have come undone
This part in particular has a certain power to it. The lyrics, the way it sounds, there’s just something about it that makes it amazing.
I kinda feel like it's almost a teaser for what the next album is gonna be like, and I'm trying very hard not to get my hopes up.
I actually listen to this song multiple times daily, one of my favorites on this album.
You can literally read this song’s lyrics like a poem. Every song is a banger.
“OH MY GOD IS THIS WHERE THE DREAMER ENDS? DARK WHERE THE LIGHT HAD BEEN”🎻
💔❤️
STARSET has a thing for incredible album endings, and this is honestly my favorite one. The grand, epic, vengeful, and in a way creepy vibe it captures is breathtaking.
This is a fucking masterpiece. Dustin, please make a progressive metal album.
Bless you, I think I just discovered my favourite genre. Never knew what this sort of music was called.
@@uprisingstorm2493 I meant that I went and listened to a bunch of progressive metal music after reading his comment and was blown away :)
@@uprisingstorm2493 haha, all good! I really love Teramaze’s music, Sorella Minore is amazing. And also Soen, specifically the songs EMDR, River, and Lotus. I just love the otherworldly feel of it all. Got any recommendations? 😄
That would be great! 🔥
Dustin's vocal range is insanely good!
God... the atmosphere this song carries is so outstanding... these lyrics, the story of it, the symbol being an inverted (or anti-) star... and that ending... that gives me goosebumps. Great job!
What a cold cry mannn. This is unexpected of you Starset. The gutturals, screams, the whisper in the outro, such massive bridges. I am in love with this one. What a beauty in the pain over here.
Such a beautiful song to end an album just like Everglow and Diving Bell.
Yeah
Also these 2 songs are some of my faves lol
Out of the whole album this one gets stuck in my head the most.
"out of myself i feel it crawling
how can i tell if this is the ending
out of myself it began evolving
i am not well, repent i'm guilty
how can i tell if the sky is falling
how can i fix what there is no mending
how can i tell if i am not well

I'm speechless. Starset and co, you never disappoint
Starset proves once again why they are the best band and just ahead of everyone else, way ahead.
I wouldn’t go that far but this was a very good album.
This one deserves millions upon millions of views. I am addicted to this one and Disappear in particular.
If this isn't the anthem for depression, I don't know what is. Maybe it wasn't written to signify that, but, at the end of the day, music is "personal" to an extent, and, my god, does it sum up depression perfectly. It's an amazing song regardless. The whole album is mega and this is the icing on the cake.
This song is based off of Beowulf
I know most people wont read this, and that is okay, I Just need to vent. I am so hyped for this album, you guys dropping this made my year and I am forever grateful. But this song, placed as the last song had spoken to me like no song ever has. I have never been able to eloquently describe my depression sickness to anyone in a way I didn't regret afterwards. But the vibe and lyrics of this song Just hits everything I want to say right. And I cant thank you enough for it, truly. If it helps, Dustin and the band, you made one guys life just that bit better with this song and album. Thank you.
😮
141+ people read it lol
some ppl will just never know what your going thorugh and im still trying to get my head over it. its just so hard. but this song is just amaxing
Keep on. No one actually cares so you owe it to yourself.
Same here, though I do not have depression.
I loved Starset for a long time, but this song speaks to me more than any other song of theirs, and maybe any other song period.
It captures the essence of that feeling I cannot put into words
I've said it many times, but starset needs to make a full length movie
Way harder said than done hope they can find a good director for it
I agree
Yes.
Will probably never happen. But it could! It will tie to the novel as well.
No, a multiple series
We got something Wicked....
We got a Brave New World
What you fear you have become...
*Something wicked this way comes*
This is the everglow of the album, only more brutal and cold.
It's also the Diving Bell and the Rise And Fall of this album
Can't wait for the next album!
Most suspenseful song they've ever written. The build up, the dissonance. It's remarkable
This album speaks to me as a biomedical engineering student. Which I don't think is an accident considering Dustin himself is an engineer. When you enter this field, you have dreams of changing the world, improving life quality for humanity and designing wonderful inventions. However, there is also pressures to increase profit by eliminating costs and cutting corners. Other times it's "natural" side effects. Sometimes creating new things that were intended to improve people's lives comes at the price of mental health, the environment, people's jobs, etc. And a lot of the time, these side effects are not expected and only discovered after the fact. And I think that is one of the major themes of "Something Wicked": seeking to help others but at the same time becoming horrified at the realization that you have created more problems for people that almost seem to dwarf the original problem in the name of progress.
Starset tends to focus on AI, transhumanism, and social media and their psychological impacts, particularly as these are some of the newest additons to human capability and are representative of what a ton of engineers percieve to be the next big thing in engineering (such as in Icarus and Symbiotic's music videos). But it doesn't have to always be the new and shiny. I myself have a deep interest in cardiovascular medical devices because of the increasing rates of cardiovascular disease. A couple of months ago, I attended a seminar presented by an engineer working in the industry that develops surgical instruments, cardiovascular implants and wound care. The devices she discussed were very intriguing and geniunely seemed livesaving for patients and medical providers, but I couldn't help but shiver at the thought that all of these devices were single use plastics and would likely become biohazardous medical waste in our already polluted world because of the strict FDA regulations and safety requirements under the class III medical device controls. When I asked how they handle the disposing of the used devices, I was told that it was "not a priority" as much as following FDA guidelines.
This doesn't even scratch the surface of the engineering ethics that Starset regularly refer to in their songs, particularly the two basic questions of "Can we do it?" and "Should we do it?".
This is such a deep and profound comment. It goes to show how little regard humanity has for the consequences of their actions. I remember Dustin mentioning in his Interview or Vessels that the album was about the different directions the future might take and I can see how this fits in eerily well with the themes of that album. I'm not sure if you read the Prox Transmissions, but that was one question that settled in the back of my mind with "The Everything Machine." Humanity focuses so much on what's new and what can be done, that there's little regard for what's outside of that and the consequences it would bring. The point of the novel was a critique on monopolies, but essentially that IS what's going on with pollution where those in power can do what they want while those at the bottom and future suffer the consequences...
This makes me think of a hero losing everything and then giving in and becoming the villain.
Sometimes villains make much more sense. Anti-heroes more like it, they’re the ones who really know what’s what.
Darth Vader vibes
@@Chuleta_9 for real. Like I relate the them more as I get older. It makes sense now lol
Knowing Starsets songs are always full of references, the fact that the song ends with "something wicked this way comes" and thats the exact name of a ray bradbury´s novel still blows my mind.
Actually both are from Macbeth. After Macbeth kills the king he loved and served for his own ambitions lead on by the witches he seeks their counsel again. The witches are brewing spells, thos is where boil boil toil and trouble come from, and as they here a knock one says something wicked this way comes only for Macbeth to open the door and enter. This song is really just the plot for macbeth and I really really love that about it.
Not only that, but the nod to humpty dumpty lol
I'm glad someone else caught this as well
This song lulled me into a false sense of peace then ran me over like a fucking freight train 11/10
2:37-3:10 By far my favorite part of the song. The build is amazing, the lyrics progressively get deeper and deeper. I love it.
out of myself i feel it crawling
how can i tell if this is the ending
out of myself it began evolving
i am not well, repent i'm guilty
how can i tell if the sky is falling
how can i fix what there is no mending
how can i tell if i am not well
i've lost myself
i have come undone
That part of the song is magical. Seriously, it's the best thing Starset has ever made in my opinion.
The is amazing! It kinda has dark but elegant vibes.
Algún día... Algún día Starset tendrá el reconocimiento que merece :")
Ojalá, este álbum fue grandioso, no se si este será el último, pero esperemos si sale otro en unos años, sea igual de grandioso, se que lo será, porqué Starset nunca decepciona
Rezemos

@Omar Yañez Zavala red are kinda similar
@@Dark-wm3yx nah, tenemos starset para rato
The best song of the album by far.
@@josephkreifelsii3734 "by" far

The fact that the songs 'logo' is the Starset logo upside down could be a representation of how everything that we used to know is about to be flipped on it's head in the next album. Or it's just a cool design.
F O R E S H A D O W I N G
Also, the fact that Something Wicked is the last song on this album, and it leaves off with "Something wicked this way comes..."
Regardless of if it has meaning or not, I think we can all agree the next album is about to SLAP.
Thank you so much, Starset - you’re the only thing that wakes up my soul in this dark, heavy, apathetic, loveless and soulless world. I miss home, I miss my missing piece of soul, I miss myself. I just wanna go back home.
Thank you infinitely for existing, and for pouring out your souls. You have no idea what a lifeline you are. I’m so deeply sorry for whatever darkness made these mighty beautiful songs.
This was the absolute BEST and killer way to end an already masterpiece album! It's been so worth the wait
*_Most Underrated Song_*
Cried listening to this as it explains how I feel dealing with my mental illness in a way I've never been able to.
Something wicked this way comes...
Bro, after I listened to the rest of the song, these words were punchy
Man it has been so hard to choose what song is my favorite on the album and this one is one of those close songs! I just love this song so much! Can’t stop listening to the entire album! It’s been on repeat since Friday! 15 times so far! Just so good!!
This is one of the most complete and beautiful songs i've ever heard. It gives me emotional vibes and adrenaline. Starset, you surprise me more and more
This track is the biggest curveball in the album. It's one long, beautiful build up to an explosive, but still soft ending. I couldn't imagine a more perfect finale to such a wonderful collection of music.
This is not what I was expecting from this song, but it has surpassed my wildest expectations. I absolutely love the eerie, haunting vibe. Might be one of the best songs you guys have made. What a killer way to end an album full off masterpieces.
Please make a longer version of this :'(((( I want a 10 minute version. This is honestly the greatest thing I've heard this entire year
Did any other addict start crying listening to this? I looked up the lyrics and started crying while listening to this.
Although i cannot relate to your experience, among other issues, i have complex PTSD and persistent depression. I cried rivers.
I wish you all the best on your journey to recovery.
I've listened to this song over and over again and it always sounds like a big cliffhanger. After hearing Starset and Breaking Benjamin are doing a collab it fits perfectly. I absolutely love it.
Would be great if the first song of the next album restarts from this one's ending.
This song is the reason I love Starset so fucking much, legit made me sob.
I wasn't in the mood for slow so I skipped it halfway through the first time. Now this is the 5th time in a row I started it over. Damn the man has a way with words and feeeeels update maybe 1000 times
Cant belive what im listening. What a masterpiece.... Souch perfection
Last line of this song, and the first line of The Breach, are Shakespeare references 🤯
The first line? From which play??
@@uzmamahfooz2305
Henry V: “Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more”
Macbeth: “By the pricking of my thumbs, Something wicked this way comes.”
@@DrJohnRLawson yeah, SOMETHING WICKED's references were obvious. This THE BREACH one I didn't know of.
This whole song is basically the plot of Macbeth is you listen. I don't know if it was intentional but it's absolutely amazing. "The crucifix in my hands is a lie", Macbeth can no longer pray because of his bloody hands, "Nothing ever kills you", Banqous ghost comes back to haunt him, "dark where the light was", Macbeth falling into madness and misery due to his actions that he can no longer take back. Are just some examples
@@ginymaynard oh wow, so much more to explore, thanks!
Certainly didn't expect to cry by the album's end, and yet here I am.
Just have to say that I admire you guys
Nothing speaks to my current mental struggles so much other than this song
Sometimes, you have to become a monster yourself to kill off the monsters around you.
So good that it left me wanting more at the end
The vibe kinda reminds me of "Singularity" by Red
But Similarity sounds like Everglow by Starset too
My goosebumps got goosebumps
This is absolutely haunting, and I love it.
this song gives me chills every single time. literal perfection.
this was a YEAR ago! WOW! I remember when this came out like it was yesterday.
Have to say I’m very happy with the entire new album. I do have a couple favorites though. This being one!
This is my favourite band and they make the best music ever in the WORLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Something weird about this song, it's calm yet scary and dark , I don't know how to describe the scary part but the ending may give you a sample of it
This is just a masterpiece of a song. Easily #1 on the album for me.
This is totally amazing, the vibes in the voice and that kind of sound in the piano reminds me Trent in a certain way, it's by now personally one of best piece of work done by Starset
“By the pricking of my thumbs, something wicked this way comes.”
ITS TOO GOOOOD NO ONE ELSE CAN DO THIS BUT STARSET
This is just like the best song evr
SOMETHING WICKED Lyrics
[Intro]
Loving
Hating
Hoping
Taking
[Verse]
I've been digging through the dirt that was left behind
I've been dredging through the mud for it
There's nothing that's alive or dead inside
In you or in this
The crucifix in my hand's a lie
'Cause nothing ever kills you
I watered down the pain 'til the well went dry
So pray for rain
[Pre-Chorus]
And it gnawed
Rose to the top again
Back like a long-lost friend
A wretch that I can't defend
Oh my God
Is this where the dreamer ends?
Dark where the light had been
Lost at the war within
[Chorus]
And it clawed
Back in the world again
Here for a new revenge
An enemy I can't condemn
Oh my God
Is this where the liar ends?
Dark where the light had been
Lost at the war within
[Bridge]
Out of myself, I can feel it crawling
How can I tell if this is the ending?
Out of myself, it began evolving
I am not well, repent, I'm guilty
How can I tell if the sky is falling?
How can I fix what there is no mending?
How can I tell if I am not well?
I've lost myself
I have come undone
And all of the horses
And all of the men
Won't put it back in place
Or bury it where it had been
When all of the forces
Have been overrun
You'll whisper, serpent tongue
What you fear you have become
[Outro]
Something wicked this way comes
Something wicked this way comes
Tysssssm for this!!!
Faking*
The final songs of every album starset has released always have a different tone that sets them apart from the rest. Absolutely love it, can’t wait for the next album
I'm so broken and this song speaks to me
This song deserves to be longer ;-;
Villains rise with songs like this!
Every song of this album is incredibly different, just legendary.
This album is fire
I feel like he's always singing about emotional experience of higher dimension that we can't reach now on our level
Been over a year since they dropped this masterpiece of music and still vibing to it.
This is an awsome song to end the album off with. It's a massive cliffhanger
I Know I'm not the first to say this, but HOLY COW! This song apart from everglow has to be the best closer to an album.
That feeling you get when this song is over and you still have tears running down your face... And no outro to dry them away. Geez.😢😭
Man, this song is very similar to Dark on Me, and I love it!
I didn't expect such a song to be my favorite of the whole album.
