Seduction of Decay

Lyrics

[Geoff Tate as Scientist II] It ain't the far cry that it seemed In just a wink we'd come for you You may not feel it We are the light, the scorching heat We are the untold chosen few And now we've come for you We'll fit you like a velvet glove That's gonna choke their minds Affiliate yourself with what you can't defy Some below and few above We're gonna numb their minds [Geoff/Scientist II and Tobias Sammet as Aaron Blackwell] Riot on the edge (Hey) On the brink of insanity (Hey) Riot on the edge [Chorus: Geoff/Scientist II] You'll hear me screaming your name I am the angel of decay to seize you There'll be no thoughts to maintain I'm the seduction of decay [Tobias/Aaron] I hear their tales reverberate From shrouds of myth that only time would weave Bred in a den of lunacy Who can we trust? Who's next in line? The sacred drive to rationalize [Tobias/Aaron and Geoff/Scientist II] Commit ourselves another day To the lesser crime Choke on your own pace with candor So pleasant in the quiet Vicegerents of the tide [Geoff/Scientist II and Tobias Sammet as Aaron Blackwell] Riot on the edge (Hey) On the brink of insanity (Hey) Riot on the edge [Chorus: Geoff/Scientist II] You'll hear me screaming your name I am the angel of decay to seize you There'll be no thoughts to maintain I'm the seduction of decay Time contaminating space To reinfect and agonize anything around We are metabolite of dreams The chosen ones to sacrifice The wasteland-bound Oh, Euphoria is looming in the darkness Coincidence of opposites we are Once beautiful intentions Oh, we'll drag you over Oh, it's gonna drag you over [Tobias/Aaron] Oh, from the start we run away And don't seem to care what for Forever feels just like a blink after passing by Just fools don't know the prime's another State of decay [Geoff/Scientist II and Tobias Sammet as Aaron Blackwell] Riot on the edge (Hey) On the brink of insanity (Hey) Riot on the edge [Chorus: Geoff/Scientist II] You'll hear me screaming your name I am the angel of decay to seize you There'll be no thoughts to maintain I'm the seduction of decay
