After the Sunset

This song's a lesson to you, who can't seem to choose.
Don't gotta be so mean, fighting your battle of endless in-betweens.
Givin' hope a false start, Indian-givin' away your heart.
The moon, she don't smile so wide anymore.
Not since you've made her your whore.

     Who stole the moon?
     Malice & Greed said it was you.
     Oh, what a fool.

So she slipped into the sea, secretly sought her missing gleam.
Queen of the sky, searched for her smile as you kept sailing
towards no-man's isle.
When the wind learned of the news, took from your sails
what it lent to you.
Stranded before the glow of escape, red hands thwart clean getaways

     Who stole the moon?
     Envy & Arrogance said it was you.
     Oh, what a fool

     She won't go quietly.
     She's not submissive, she
     Is the moon. Don't be a fool.
     A wicked fool.

     You tried to steal the moon.
     Pride & Regret tried to warn you.
     Oh what a fool.

A captive in the seas of high, held hostage for lying to the sky.
When will you learn, if you don't give you only get nothing
in return.
Instead let me explain, turn to thievery & empty hearts so remain.
The moon rose just beyond, your desert isle
That's where she found her smile.

     You tried to steal the moon.
     Now Shame & Exile have stolen you.
