I don't know, I don't know what you're saying
00:26
I don't know, I don't know why you didn't
00:29
But the games that you've been playing
00:33
Have led to a life of sin
00:39
I don't know, I don't know where this is going
00:45
But your broken path has simply led you astray

Ribbons, steel, and fire
01:07
Circles of your dark desire
01:13
I've seen through the days of my young better days
01:22
Ribbons, steel, and fire
01:26
The road to hell is littered with desire
01:32
The things I'm hearing now
01:37
I don't know what my eyes are seeing
01:41
Ribbons, steel, and fire
01:45
I don't know what you're conjuring for writing this day
01:55
But you're smoking mirrors and let them to your side
02:01
Bless your eyes and believe
02:06
Bless your darkness, you cannot hide
02:12
Ribbons, steel, and fire
02:16
Ribbons, steel, and fire
02:18
Circles of your dark desire

02:36
And fire
02:38
The road to hell is littered with desire

03:09
I don't know, I don't know where you've been
03:13
But the games that you could play
03:17
Have led to a life to see
03:23
Is a scene
03:27
Well...
03:29
I don't know where you've been
03:31
I don't know, I don't know, I don't know
03:31
I don't know, I don't know where you've been
