[Verse 1] I was gonna be a god A girl got game But then my daddy stopped it He is to blame My life has been on rewind Again each day My love was stolen and robbed Of each other every other way And the years passed And the years passed And then and then and then [Chorus] I come to live the best moments of our lives Again and again and again And everything blurred together Then and then and then Why is it a wonder That there are tears inside my eyes You've broken my cocoon And now your goddess starts to rise [Bridge] I am the avatar of Yog-Sothoth [Verse 2] One for the world beneath our feet Two for the eyes the dark shall eat Three for the door beneath the tongue Four for the song before it's sung Count us Count us carry the remainder Name us Keep us from the stranger We left with earth upon our shoes With bread and string and borrowed news A clockwork waited by the gate We asked the time It answered Late The mountain opened like an eye Its pupil held a smaller sky Within that sky another mountain Let its stars into a fountain We drank Our shadows stay behind Something unfolded in the mind My friends My pawns My friends Count them in the counting never ends I have numbered every sorrow I have borrowed their tomorrow I have drawn their little footsteps through the ash One for the gate Two for the oath Three for the needs of Yog-Sothoth One, one, two, the root divides Three, five, eight, the wound grows sides Thirteen, twenty-one, the spiral flowers Thirty-four Stars devour Stars devour [Chorus] Stars devour Square the last and add the seed Feed the flowering flower the feed Z squared plus C Z squared plus C The boundary blossoms inside me [Bridge] Our mothers wore our children's eyes Our graves flew backward through the skies You took my hand My hand was seven Each finger pointed through a different heaven Limit to zero narrow the gate Limit to zero unfasten the weight Limit to zero the throat of the sun Closer [Outro] The singularity took our measure It found us wanting It took the wanton It took the measure And still My friends My pawns, my friends Count them in the counting never ends And I love them as I place them And I place them as I praise them And I turn their pleading faces to the geometries of light For the needs of Yog-Sothoth I've weighed their love against my oath E to the i pi plus one zero E to the i pi plus one zero Turn through the half-circle close what was torn Carry the nothing Through which we are born Our names burst open through each name A million nameless kingdoms came Their ruined gods had antlered crowns And mouths where time went falling down A shape approached that wore the sound Footsteps on familiar ground It knew the way my father laughed It knew the smell of bread It opened where a face should be We held each other Aleph now Aleph now Count the teeth within the skull Aleph now Aleph now Every mouth is hungry still List the stars list the sleepers List the names of all their keepers Down the diagonal on through the list And something hurt its missing name Across the void the silence knelt We felt the shape of being felt The sanctuary of light arose Where every road had failed to close Its pillars passed through unborn suns This threshold gathered scattered ones My friends My pawns, my friends Count them in the counting never ends I know them by their laughter By the little lives hereafter By the promise I would guard when first they put their hands in mine With the needs of Yog-Sothoth Let the sun consume the earth I move them And they trust me I move them And they sing My friends My pawns Who is moving everything We crossed I felt the floor I learned to stand I found five fingers on my hand The door stood open Something counted in I looked at you You looked at me Between our hands One, two, three Count them up Counting Never ends
