[Verse 1]
Sometimes disaster is just what it takes
To open up your sleepy eyes
Go outside when mornings breaks

[Verse 2]
Speaking of chariots, words swinging low
Shadows flowing from your brush
Lingering, never changing

[Pre-Chorus]
Minister of fate
Declares that you're remiss
Upon the lips of hate
He gives a callous kiss

[Chorus]
Etienne de silhouette
Promises that turned into lies
I can't see you Etienne
So many eyes looking at you
Stumbling through blackened woods

[Verse 3]
Cold-hearted ecstasy, mistaken for love
Bitter death has left behind
A treasure in my mind

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
I can't see you Etienne
So many eyes looking at you
Stumbling through blackened woods

[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge]
Can you hear me now
In your oblivion?
May I sit with you?
Maybe you'll teach me a thing or two

[Pre-Chorus]
Minister of fate
Declares that you're remiss
Upon the lips of hate
He gives a callous kiss
Psychic whisper speak within
Revealing far too much
A battle that you can not win
A face you can not touch

[Chorus]
Etienne de silhouette
Promises that turned into lies
I can't see you Etienne
So many eyes looking at you
Stumbling through blackened woods
