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 brought 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 and said that Whatever path you take (The path you take) 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" And I said, "Don't be so sure, let's just wait until the morning light" I feel my temperature rising My body explodes I feel like somebody's watching Like I'm not alone I stopped, I vowed right then and said Whatever path you take (The path you take) 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" But she just looked away and said "I know" Gripped by the midnight hands We dream of futures that would prevent Gripped by the midnight hands The line's crossed over The dawn grows closer Let's bite off too much Let's jump with a blind trust In water over our head And whatever path you take And wherever you might go And whenever you decide to leave I will follow, I will follow I will Bear all 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) I will follow (Whenever you decide to leave) I will follow
