Lyrics
[Verse 1] There's a light in this shed that should help you find your way And through this door; you deserve a beating through the Machine And little did you once know, in the race for the telephone

In the dark, they have watched us from here, beyond the grave To bare the marks of His work, are the Watchmen of our ways

[Pre-Chorus] That which we feels untrue, if it's me, then it isn't you Lay down, relax, come on, how? What you thought once was yours is ours, now

[Chorus] Stay with me, to guide this dream Before they bury me I'll be waiting up all night for you In a nightmare that was made for me

Stay with me, to guide this dream Before they bury me I'll be waiting up all night for you In a nightmare that was made for me

[Verse 2] In the call of her screams, should we leave and let them be? Is her life worth as much as we once wished to believe? So, is it or isn't so? Am I dead now, here in the snow?

In the foul of their play, will then justice be engraved? To bare the walk on the way to the killer and his blade

[Pre-Chorus] So is it or isn't so? Am I dead now, here in the snow? Lay down, relax, come on, how? What you thought once was yours is ours, now

[Chorus] Stay with me, to guide this dream Before they bury me I'll be waiting up all night for you In a nightmare that was made for me

Stay with me, to guide this dream Before they bury me I'll be waiting up all night for you In a nightmare that was made for me

[Outro] (You're right or you're wrong) Oh oh, you're right or you're wrong (You're right or you're wrong) Oh oh, you're right or you're wrong (You're right or you're wrong)

Story Context
"" '''As the official story has not yet been released, anything in this section is speculation, not fact. More so than usual, of course.'''

This seems to depict a person who is witnessing someone go through the Blood Machine, and come out as a ghost or spirit. Perhaps someone else who is already dead.
