The Iron Man - In The Velvet Darkness lyrics

Something whispers my name I answer but no one can hear Picked up off the floor - thrown inside a door See it close behind Dim light on the walls - shadows in the halls Ministry unkind Minions walk alone - cataleptic drones The eye is in the sky Forever looking on - an endless sea of pawns Clinging to a lie Needle's sting I recognize Staring down the barrel of eternity inside Needle's caress - the horror dies Staring down the barrel of eternity implied Hands behind my back - cable with no slack Noose is before me So long I have fought detrimental thoughts Tonight they claim victory Needle pulls me from the dream I still go on as do the screams Needle's sting so far removed Staring down the barrel of the debt that's been accrued You have an invitation To join me in the velvet darkness Something calling your name Don't answer, because it might hear
