The Monochrome Set - Summer of the Demon Lyrics

In the courtyard of my twilight, there are shadows running free
And they spoke unto each other, but they never spoke to me
Placing down my fatal kiss, I bade them to slow down and hissed
Tell me this, tell me this, tell me this
Why won't you speak unto me?

They beckoned me to follow, so up scattered steps we rushed
Past rotten tongues and broken hearts and festivals of dust
At summit of this secret chase, a heavy curtain of gems we faced
Tell me fays, tell me fays, tell me fays
What lies behind that you lust?

Oh, god, the sunlight- is it so, is it so, is it so
It burns my eyes with its fire, and sears my skin with its glow
I must quickly flee, I can no longer see
Into the black, run back, run back
Run down, down, down, down, down

For days, I crawled alone and blind beneath a stinging rain
But the singing in my ears was not the ringing of the pain
As twilight soothed my burning brow, I felt it less to my liking now
Tell me how, tell me how, tell me how
How must I see this again?

Oh, god, the sunlight- was it so, was it so, was it so
It burned my eyes with its fire, and seared my skin with its glow
Too quickly I fled, all sickly with dread
Into the black, ran back, ran back
Ran down, down, down, down, down

Glory to the stars, glory to the stars

The loving cups I've shattered and the begging bowls I've spilled
Such trinkets of a darkness, now I comprehend them ill
I stand before these jewels hung a song was writ and now must be sung
It'll come, it'll come, it'll come
What is it that it will fill

Oh, god, the sunlight- it's so warm, it's so warm, it's so warm
It floods my eyes with its beauty, and cleans my heart with its form

Oh, god, the sunlight- it's so sweet, it's so sweet, it's so sweet
It flames my fingers a-shimmer, and shines my skin with its heat

Oh, god, the sunlight, is it so, is it so, is it so
It burns my brain with its glory, and melts my glacial soul
I'll not run away, I can no longer see
Into the black, to run back, run back
Run down, down, down, down, down
