Oh, and tonight is where we would try to blend
Oh, and the ones who defend are taken to bend
Oh, and which or what end do we derive the send
Oh, and I cannot take on your anti-comprehend
But I think were leaving that behind
Far behind to where we first distorted the mind
It was the drowning of our white-like blind
And you wear the rhyme of perpetual questioning
And you never even talk
And you suffocate the right to even write the walk
Now help yourself to a little more than you can handle, what you can handle
And youll never see the light of day, no youll never see the light of day
However, it may seem to you now that the light is nothing but a lie we lay
Down our heads tonight only to dismiss what stays frozen in the obvious
Dismiss the obvious
What is the obvious
And the drill comes down from the stars right into your skull
And the drill cannot comprehend what stars make up control
And the time is cleansing the sky while the ceiling is a lie
Oh yes, did I mention the ceiling was a lie
We all lay in our skin tonight wondering what is what and what is right
And the night will pass on to the height of your skull in the sky that shines so bright
And your skull sings the skyline is piercing what perpetual question lies drowning
We all lay our minds in the water turning cold only to fold our missing daughter
And as the drill turns old you will call the control guaranteed to be controlling the skyline
Is drowning now in what sleep can cleanse the dirty sky while the ceiling is a lie
And breaking your arms in slumber only leaves the training dream
And all the while what you can or cant handle is taking away your scream
And itll stay frozen in the sky you clean
And itll stay frozen in the sky you clean
And all the while what you can or cant handle is taking away your light of day
But thats okay because the light of day never took away the drill in your skull today
Oh yes, did I mention the ceiling was a lie

Also, is this whole "Earthbound Angel" anything to do with Satan, or Lucifer?
For a little heads up:
The sequel to this lyrics series is called 'Ascension ad Infinitum', which means 'Going up into infinity'...
I was thinking because the traditional story of Lucifer is that he was an angel cast down from heaven to Earth (or Hell). That classic image of a falling angel gets used in gothic or satanic lyrics quite often, and its pretty powerful both literally and metaphorically.
Maybe the Angel Island thing in Sonic was a subtle referance to Satan? hmmmmmm.
Also, the name Lucifer means "bringer of light", and he is also sometimes known as the Son of the Morning, or the Morningstar (venus), which makes it kinda cool when you mention "the light of day".
I just read it again, and I must say again that I like it lol
Also I still think its a bit AFI-esque, more like their older stuff.......
