	Story Behind the Song This song is about the exodus from a civilization that suffers a horrible calamity. Some of the more driven citizens unite under the leadership of their oracle and complete "Mothership" while their world collapses around them... Lyrics Have you seen your face in the firelight The way it contorts every smile And writhes before your eyes Waiting to swallow you alive We wear a tourniquet of shadows To cease the flow from our hearts Praise Icons with trembling hands Until we mimic their lives The incence burns my poor lungs/ As the puppet becomes unstrung I have bled my share into the snow/ Even the sun is growing cold The roaches nest in our home I don't think we are welcome anymore It is time to let the bonfires Lead us into the thirsting night And what of the rodent speech? Grooming us until the bitter end Lulling us into a fitful sleep As we try to comprehend Why we are kept inside Staring at the conflagration Or left to drift through life All alone in our stagnation The roaches nest in our home I don't think we are welcome anymore It is time to let the bonfires Lead us into the thirsting night I will stay where I have always been please don't leave without me I don't know where I am supposed to go I don't know where I am supposed to be I will stay where I have always been Please don't leave without me
