Midnight Hands

Like a new day rising
Like a calm before the storm
Like fog lifting from valleys
On a sleeping forest floor
Eyes open slowly
As the dust is shaken off
To gaze upon the wreckage
That the midnight hands have wrought

And now I
I feel my temperature rising
My body explode
I feel like somebody's watching
Like I'm not alone
I stopped, I vowed
Right then I said that

"Whatever path you take" (The path you take)
"And wherever you might go" (Where you might go)
"Whenever you decide to leave"
"I will follow"
"I will follow"

We face a crossroad never
Knowing what's in store
There's an angel on my shoulder
There's a devil at my door
She proclaimed, "Tonight will be
The greatest of our lives."
But I said, "Don't be so sure, let's
Just wait until the morning light."

I feel my temperature rising
My body explode
I feel like somebody's watching
Like I'm not alone
I stopped, I vowed
Right then I said that

"Whatever path you take" (The path you take)
"And wherever you might go" (Where you might go)
"Whenever you decide to leave"
"I will follow"
"I will follow"

There in the clearing
We gathered close
Under the Moon's pale light
We laid out the tools
"And you don't have to do this
And I'd forgive you if you don't"
And she just looked away and said,
"I know."

Gripped by the midnight hands
We cradle futures
They would prevent
Gripped by the midnight hands

The line's crossed over
The dawn grows closer
Let's bite off to much
Let's jump with a blind trust
In water over our heads

"And whatever path you take"
"And wherever you might go"
"And whenever you decide to leave"
"I will follow"
"I will follow"

I won't bet on the falls you take
(The falls you take)
I won't let go if you started to stray
I'll be there until you don't wake up, yeah
I will follow
I will follow
I will follow (Whatever path you take)
I will follow (Wherever you might go)
I will follow (Whenever you decide to leave)
I will follow
