[Verse 1] Any rabble is welcome here Beneath the flicker, smoke, and fear A mass of whispers, wide and wild In darkness born, forever filed [Prechorus] No questions bloom, no candles flare Just silent bodies filling air [Chorus] The towers listen through the rain They crown obedience, punish brain Be pale enough to disappear Be empty enough to have no fear [Verse 2] The authorities do not tolerate A mind that wakes, a heart that weighs Just quiet mouths and empty eyes Obedient ghosts in polished lines [Prechorus] The gates swing wide beneath the moon The city hums a funeral tune [Chorus] The towers listen through the rain They crown obedience, punish brain Be pale enough to disappear Be empty enough to have no fear [Bridge] They dread the light that breaks the night That challenges their muted right So cast aside the clever flame And wear the mask without a name [Chorus] The towers listen through the rain They crown obedience, punish brain Be pale enough to disappear Be empty enough to have no fear
