Lyrics:

Rip up the diamond prize
Illuminating what darkness ties
Louder the cries
At a distance none among us can deny
Coming closer by
With only a side door to frame your mind
Feeling is formulated all fervent ardour divine
If only formula forgave for feeling flighty fear filling then fleeing fighting
Following freeing phantoms
I'm forgiving and fulfilling in submitting a gift long adrift 
Service opposite the rift
Feathers lift forms fit and ties flit in between what once was split

Out of the cave
Emerging late
Coming of age 
The cradle of civilization is our current page
Waking to open stage
Breaking the fourth wall of this cage
Come contagion propagate infect and bring rage
But phage is nothing to fear
Little soul
Great toll
On a roll
Snake eyes light serpentine shadows 
In shallow pursuits en route to sallow comforts that the brute in you disputes
Insurrection takes root gains repute none can refute
Our animal etiquette has become a forbidden fruit

Out of the cave
Into the day
Absolute solitude fades away
Out of the cove
Onto the ocean
Rather hunger for ages of devotion 
With no harbour to hide the open faces motion
Lost at sea
This endless waves breaks in me
Familiar shores
Stranger emotions
Like stoppered potions pour free
Landfall casting shadows fell upon me
Breaking shadows spell upon me

Let's play dead
Let's play dead
Let's play dead
Resurrect and play it again
Let's play dead
Let's play dead 
Let's play dead
(Let's play) 
Resurrect and play it again

Let's play this instead 
Embolden homestead once fled
Your limbs were strong once
Now carry this nest
For now
Forever
Tarry not and rest
On your feet
Off your hands and knees
We all crawl before we run
Cease
And when you can't run
You crawl
And when you can't do that
You find someone to carry you
You find someone to carry you

Let's pretend I were you
And you were me
Let's pretend it were true
And not make believe
The mirror is not a friend
Until reflection forms you
For in the end
Evil cannot look upon itself and not understand
And always where your eyes are not 
What your heart will seek
And always where your eyes are not
What your heart needs to see

Caught in the current 
Loss and its torrent 
Play pretend abominable and abhorrent
Attachment enhances the effect to drown affections 
Don shell and shun your self 
Drawn dagger
Cloak and cloud
Shroud spaces between lover and danger
Between lover and danger

Let's play dead
Let's play dead
Let's play dead
Resurrect and play it again
Let's play dead
Let's play dead
Let's play dead

Whether by sun or stars
You're never alone
Never alone

Darkness gathers before the dawn
We part and I am whole and carrying on
The great divide spanned with bridges burned black
The day comes when every heart will be attacked

Live it like the last
Every day
Every way
Be here now
Present 
Reciprocate

Let's play dead
Let's play dead
Let's play
Let's let's let's let's le
Let's play dead
Let's play dead
Let's play dead
Resuscitate and play it again

Let's play dead
Let's play dead
Let's play right
And let's play wrong
Let's play crippled 
And let's play strong
Let's play dirty
And let's play 
Let's let's let's let's
Let's play God
Let's play Dead
(Let's play dead)
