Null Device – Footfalls lyrics

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
