[Verse 1]
The fragile keep secrets, gathered in pockets
They'll sell them for nothing, a cheap watch or locket
That kind of gold just washes off
And the sad act like lepers, they stick to the shadows
They long to ring bells of warning to tell of their coming
So the pure can shut their doors
The angry are animals, all senseless and savage
They act without order in logical lapses
They stain their mouths with blood

[Chorus]
So take my hand, this barren land is alive tonight
Oh, the corn has grown stalks that form a wall too high
But the wind carriеs sounds that I can't see from beyond that line
Then thе stalks begin to sway
So stay with me, Arienette, 'til the wolves are away

[Verse 2]
The wicked are vultures, they bake in the canyons
They circle in sunlight, wait for their victims
To collapse and to call out to them (I'm over here)
Oh, the desperate are water, they'll run down forever
They soak into silence, they mend up together
In a dark and distant, in a dark and distant place
[Chorus]
So don't leave me here with only mirrors watching me
This house, it holds nothing but the memories
And the moon, she leaves me silver but never, never sleep
Then the silver turns to gray
So you stay with me, Arienette, until the wolves are away
