The Audience - Coheed and Cambria

Please allow me to introduce myself

I’m the lie you use

Surrounded by snakes and talking sharks

Be mindful the words you choose

Their eyes reflecting with purpose, calling

«Welcome to the feast»

Will you follow their actions and play games

And as they step will you repeat formalities

Thieves of our time

Watch as they rape your integrity

Once loved come take your piece of me, blood or bone

No matter, I’ll still be here when you’re

Done

Be here when you’re

This is the story of a boy who lost his way and found the

Unstruck, his courage lost

Damaged goods, a trust now long pre-

This is my audience

Forever one together

Burning Stars

Cut from the same disease

Ever longing, what and who we are

Take all matters into your own hands

Let them play with the coward who can command

Now you’re just a memory

Of humanity

(The audience, I will show all of myself)

This is my audience

Forever one together

Burning Stars

Cut from the same disease

Ever longing, what and who we are

This is my audience

Forever one together

Burning Stars

Cut from the same disease

Ever longing, what and who we are
