Impending Doom lyrics

You told me you had these thoughts

Of impending doom

But you never told me about them,

So I never told you I feel them too

You feel the sky surrender

To the darkness and to the gloom

You feel let down by the world,

But only your friends can betray you

I think the way you love the world

Is the way that I loved you

If sadness could bring us together,

Imagine what joy could do

You cannot get away from,

Cannot get away from fear

Lest it use us, lest it confuse us

Lest it lead us or mistreat us,

Or confound me or impound me

The hovering cloud of fear beside me

Oh, fear get away from, fear get away from here (X2)

Now our blood runs black in mourning

Oh, and it flows as sticky as tar

When what our hearts once beat for

Is burnt out, faded and scarred

You mourn the love you thought was real

It turned black, joined the armies of the night

You thought of love as always triumphant,

Now you know you have to fight

You cannot get away from,

Cannot get away from fear

Lest it use us, lest it confuse us

Lest it lead us or mistreat us,

Or confound me or impound me

The hovering cloud of fear beside me

Oh, fear get away from, fear get away from here (X2)

You loved the world for its beauty

The only thing you knew to be true

But the devil’s whole love shook the thunder

Beat the waves, your love went under

Now you live in the fear

That love may not be real

Fear is to love,

As chains are to free

And now you’ve seen the darkness

All the lights have been snuffed out

It surrounds you like a mist

Your once warm heart is frozen

‘Cause your love is drowned

And the silence of the dead unbroken when you shout (X3)

Oh, this is the madness of impending doom

Oh, before the dawn light sweeps the room

Fear has no ideas of its own

It is just a destroyer

And it wants you on your own

You cannot get away from,

Cannot get away from fear

Lest it use us, lest it confuse us

Lest it lead us or mistreat us,

Or confound me or impound me

The hovering cloud of fear beside me

Oh, fear get away from, fear get away from here (X2)
