[Intro]
As the water drips from the sky I start to wander
If I'm still alive then I have to find the answer
Could it be that it was a dream and I'm still beside her?
Right before my eyes a tragic surprise, the water stops

[Verse 1]
Wickedness will rain and drown us in her sorrow and her thirst
If I hope to survive I must think faster, I'm losing ground

[Pre-Chorus]
Should I pull back the veil?

[Chorus]
You had the best of me, now taste the worst
All that glimmers is not gold
I may be wrong but your brilliance is my darkness
You had me convinced that together we could fly
Until I started scratching at the surface and I saw beyond your masquerade
Your body is an illness

[Verse 2]
Temples crashing down all around me, panic chokes the streets
The golden city falls and with it our lives go up in flames

[Pre-Chorus]
Should I pull back the veil?
[Chorus]
You had the best of me, now taste the worst
All that glimmers is not gold
I may be wrong but your brilliance is my darkness
You had me convinced that together we could fly
Until I started scratching at the surface and I saw beyond your masquerade
Your body is an illness

[Bridge]
(All shall be made clear
We've been watching you wander)
My blood runs cold
(There's no need to run farther)
I fear I know the truth
(Come into our arms, brother)
I tear back the cowl and stare into my own eyes
(Now we can be one forever)
Who are you? Who are you? Who are you?

(Yeah!)
(Hey, hey, hey, hey!)

[Pre-Chorus]
I pull back the veil

[Chorus]
You had the best of me, now taste the worst
All that glimmers is not gold
I may be wrong but your brilliance is my darkness
You had me convinced that together we could fly
Until I started scratching at the surface and I saw beyond your masquerade
Your body is an illness and I'm sickened by the thought of you
I may never be the same again, I may never be the same again
