Lyrics The Man in the Long Coat (feat. Anomie Fatale) - Wormtooth

I dreamed of the Man in the Long Coat

Align the sigils
Keep vigil
Mind the limelight
A lot of spells fizzle
If they ain't quite timed right
The spices are bitter
The lyrics I wind tight
Find myself behind the veil
In my wines
Ripe
In my cups
Deep
Am I deep enough?
Sleep, I seen enough to keep
At least till this beat is up
Bleed to the beat
Heat it up
Find your medium
Needle bit between my teeth till I'm seizing up
Keep the stitches within my reach
Find the need in ya
Feed yourself reasons to be
Barely keeping up
Seeking out those eager to breathe
Rhyme off key enough
Keep it on beat
Preach
Let em see the beast in ya
Over this hopeless hoax
But it ain't over me
We could go ghost for ghost
If there's an opening
Roasting em over the coals
Won't let the ronin sleep
Grasping at smoke and ghosts
To let the omens speak
I let the omens speak

I dreamed the Man in the Long Coat
I dreamed the Man in the Long Coat
I dreamed the Man in the Long Coat
I dreamed the Man in the Long Coat
I dreamed the Man in the Long Coat

I dreamed of the Man in the Long Coat
I dreamed the Man in the Long Coat

The Tower falls
The devil he gets caught
Ever had the gall to test Death?
Guess not
When the emperor calls
Even a fool takes stock
Spells still raw
I draw my Runes in chalk
Watch me pivot and similar better stop
Riddled with symbols
As I fiddle with the knobs
Sit upon the pinnacle
Fill the vessel
Kill God
Can't kill Sisyphus
Still rolling that rock
Awkward holy ghost
That's why they quoting me
Backwards over notes
Chewing rosaries
Harbor no hopes of growth
And now I'm notably
Over these cardboard crows
Who only quoth the beast
Hope the peace inside grows
What the hell do I know
Grow the beast instead
Abandon all hope
There's never more than bread and wine
I'm doing fine though
I'm lying if I said I even love what I wrote
But still
I killed the Man in the Long Coat

I dreamed the Man in the Long Coat
I dreamed the Man in the Long Coat
I dreamed the Man in the Long Coat
I dreamed the Man in the Long Coat
I dreamed the Man in the Long Coat
I dreamed the Man in the Long Coat
I dreamed the Man in the Long Coat

The dream always seems to begin
At a location that the dreamer identifies with their art
They are trying and failing to create
The dreamer finds a door
In a place where one has never been
The dreamer opens the door
And walks down a long dark hallway
The hallway ends and opens up into a room
The dreamer then sees a figure
Described as the Man in the Long Coat
I dreamed of the Man in the Long Coat
The Man in the Long Coat holds a light
Which he is pointing at the large black crack
That runs up and down the far wall
The Man in the Long Coat turns to the dreamer
And is then swallowed whole by the crack in the wall
I dreamed of the Man in the Long Coat
