[Verse 1]
Emerald figures shining in darkness
Forty souls are locked in stone
A thousand eyes open to see
The wolves of ruin devouring me
Dying hearts of unknown voices
Leave my hopes under fallen stars
Their beating echoes only pain
Their blood red lips call out my name

[Verse 2]
Specters of a somber sullen face
Piercing pale dry light of fire
Mirrors like silver martyrs
Falling from, from, from the sky
Clouds that line the bed of sleep
Pound with thunder underneath
My tired eyes strain to see
All that reigns inside of me

[Chorus]
Haunting the solace
Of the sleeping world
The darkness falls like lead

[Guitar Solo]

[Refrain]
Haunting the obscure
Haunting the obscure
Haunting the obscure

[Verse 3]
Specters of a somber sullen face
Piercing pale dry light of fire
Voyeurs in my hour of darkness
When is it that they will rest?
Like kings, they come in deepest night
Crown of thorn for the lack of sight
Rule with voices cast in lead
Echoing forever in my head

[Chorus]
Haunting the solace
Of the sleeping world
The darkness falls like lead

[Refrain]
Haunting the obscure
Haunting the obscure
Haunting the obscure

[Chorus]
Haunting the solace
Of the sleeping world
The darkness falls like lead

[Outro]
We fall like lead
