The Demon’s Daughter

I've waited here so long
Counting through the hours
I heard a strange sad song
Coming from the towers

I turned my head to follow
The voices tumbling downward
Worn away and hollow
A window in the cloud there

We lay down low
Our world divides
One part won't wake
One comes alive

I saw the demon's daughter
I tried to make her smile
We waded in the water
She shivered like a child

We swam out to the island
I knew that I was dreaming
The world below was silent
The world above was screaming

We lay down low
Our world divides
One part won't wake
One comes alive

Oh, then I heard the calling out from below
She took me by the hand and she never let go
I could not feel the cold wind, I could not feel the thorns
I could not tear my eyes from the light that drew me on

The horse will ride the rider
The slave has ruled the master
The web will trap the spider
The father births the bastard
The buildings are all falling
The people don't remember
The oceans all dissolving
The forests burned to embers

We lay down low
Our world divides
One part won't wake
One comes alive

We lay down low
Our world divides
One part won't wake
One comes alive
