Empty Men
Stick me in a box, where I'll go - no one knows.
Porcelain hands wave at me in the rain, emissaries of dark love, hurt and pain.

Take me away to a brand new place.
Crimson rain runs down my face, I'm knowing it will stain.
I'm shaking in the rain - "draped in black, you'll show your face", the empty men will say.

Take me from the box, what I am now - no one knows.
I gaze at you did I used to know you?
You used to know me - but now I'm gone.

Take me away to a brand new place.
Crimson rain runs down my face, I'm knowing it will stain.
I'm shaking in the rain - "draped in black, you'll show your face", the empty men will say.
I can't believe anything you say, but I let you stay, to keep the peace, I will let you stay.
I'm shaking in the rain - "turn around and show your face", the empty men will say.

Take me away to a brand new place.
Crimson rain runs down my face, I'm knowing it will stain.
I'm shaking in the rain - "turn around and show your face", the empty men will say.
I can't believe anything you say, but I let you stay, to keep the peace, I will let you stay.
I'm shaking in the rain - "turn around I'll show my face", one of the empty men will say.
