There’s
a cool clear crystal silence
Frozen fire burning
Draws me nearer to the flame
Dark and distant smile reveals nothing
Hooded cobra’s flat unblinking gaze
Nothing matters, nothing lasts, nothing’s real
All else fades before her liquid gaze
Still and silent, sullen silver statue
Fills your head until you doubt you’re sane
I flee through the night and I think I get away
But all roads lead back into the snow
Sparkl’ing shards of shining ice and diamonds
Fill your head and rule your very soul
In the distance there’s a hard horizon
I can see her flashing beacon rise
There’s a fatal flaw that bids me follow blindly
And entranced I walk on mesmerized
I must feed the hunger I can’t heed the warnings
There’s a white-hot need I can’t deny
It sucks me in and then it pulls me under
‘neath her frozen will, strong and alive
You can Chase the Dragon but you’ll never find him
For he’ll pass right through you like a flame
Once you taste forbidden fruit of knowledge
Your life will never be the same
Look deep into the mirror now
Bend to answer her command
Empty cartridge saves your life, this time
Still the gun is in your hand
