Amber Haze on Steel (Version 2)

Intro

• 1 • The steel door grinds in its track. Gold light seeps through the crack.

• 2 • You stand outside, where the cold wind bites.

• 3 • In here... something's not right.

• 4 • What are you waiting for?

Verse 1

(low murmur) I see your name on the card... I don't know what this is. A visitation of some kind... Or a threat, or an end. (long pause) They say the amber burns slow inside your chest.

Pre-Chorus

Can you hear it now?

A pulse that's not yours... Not yet.

(suddenly loud and clear) It will come for us all!

Chorus

We are the forgotten! We're caught in the haze of what we've done! Steel holds the light, but gold is our bone! The amber burns slow, and we'll never be gone!

Verse 2

(low murmur) I see your eyes... Flickering like a flame.

You don't know what this is. You don't know if you'll escape. (long pause) But the gold is rising up through your skin... Like a river that never ends.

Pre-Chorus

Can you hear it now?

A pulse that's not yours... Not yet.

(suddenly loud and clear) It will come for us all!

Chorus

We are the forgotten! We're caught in the haze of what we've done! Steel holds the light, but gold is our bone! The amber burns slow, and we'll never be gone!
