Footfalls - Null Device

Crimson flags they fly

Burning childhood

Consumed with passions

Promised in light

Crimson pyres rise

Floating through air

Disposed by nothing

Promised in light

I was drawn in

A moth to a flame

I was a pawn in

An unprincipled game

Belief and need

The dagger and shield

Truth, word and deed

The arms that we wield

Footfalls that I hear

Footfalls in the night

In the beat of my heart

Or do the come for me?

Footfalls that I hear

Footfalls in the night

The wind is at my back

Here they come for me

I was drawn in

A moth to a flame

My role forgone in

The words of my name

Science and art

The dagger and shield

Prayer and heart

The arms that we wield

Footfalls that I hear

In each beat of my heart

Footfalls in the night

Here they come for me

Footfalls that I hear

In each beat of my heart

Footfalls in the night

…they come for me
