Holds its breath, expectation.

Dull beauty, fearless symmetry.
Perfect faith reflected faithfully
From His gaze.
An idol, masterpiece
Holds out his hand,
The world trembles, proved unworthy.
Fall away, fall away...

Behind those eyes I saw:
Tigers mimic flame, reaching out.
The stars above forget themselves,
Look on in shame, reflexive doubt.
Karmic winds roar and swallow me whole.

At once I woke, and heard your voice;
In vanity you clearly spoke.
At last drew breath, and on it swore
To fall away, fall away...
Fall away no more.

The blue horizon slowly stills,
Holds its breath, expectation.
From chaos; a man, order,
Dull beauty, fearless symmetry.
Perfect faith reflected faithfully
From His gaze.
An idol, masterpiece
Holds out his hand,
The world trembles, proved unworthy.
Fall away, fall away...

Behind those eyes I saw:
Tigers mimic flame, reaching out.
The stars above forget themselves,
Look on in shame, reflexive doubt.
Karmic winds roar and swallow me whole.

At once I woke, and heard your voice;
In vanity you clearly spoke.
At last drew breath, and on it swore
To fall away, fall away...
Fall away no more.
