Three Evils
Coheed and Cambria Lyrics

Across the floor in the hand of where we drove the drill
In the place where we used the drill, there is something significant that we are looking for.

A cautious ear to the mouth of your confession
We are listening carefully to your confession, paying close attention to the details.

Think of all the things we put him through
Consider all of the difficult experiences that he was forced to endure because of us.

In the face of his god would he tell the truth?
If he were confronted by his god, would he be honest about what he has done?

Still recorded were the words that dribbled out his kiss
His words were recorded, even though they were barely audible and difficult to understand.

When eyes go blind in this man of what could once become
Despite having a bright future, this man is now blind and cannot see the possibilities before him.

Sever the limbs off his torso in sleep
When he is unconscious, we will cut off his limbs from his body.

And burn what remains so the world may now see
We will burn what is left of his body so that everyone will know what we have done.

No longer...will we wait for your answers
We are done waiting for you to explain yourself or justify your actions.

Back to the hell where you've come from
You will return to the place you came from, which is most likely a place of torment or suffering.

Think of all the times you've once had
Remember all of the good memories you have had in the past.

Write them in a letter that says goodbye
Put all of those memories down in writing as a way of saying farewell forever.

You'll listen to reason while you're face down in the dirt
Only when you are at your lowest point, lying face down in the dirt, will you finally listen to reason.

You'll stomach the hurt and break for him here just how much he's worth
You will finally realize how valuable he is and be willing to endure the physical and emotional pain necessary to help him.

Slowly discarded were the remains of his lonely youth
As he grew older, he became increasingly isolated and alone, until he was abandoned completely.

Among the alley where the dwellers scare to notice
His remains were left in an alley where no one would dare to notice or investigate.

Picture a young boy in pieces and streets with leveled malfunctions
Imagine a young boy whose body has been destroyed and the streets around him are filled with chaos and destruction.

No name to be called redeemer
There is no one who can save him or redeem his situation.

We'll fix him restore him...with the love is no other
We will fix and restore him with a level of love and care that no one else is capable of providing.

Think of all the things you did before
Reflect on all of the things you have done in the past.

Write them in a letter that says reborn
Make a list of those things and label it 'reborn' as a symbol of a new beginning.

Following you across the interstate walking away...I'll fire on
I will pursue you by walking across the highway, even as you try to get away from me, and I will fight back.

Dear my friends in the time we've spent forever after beyond this when will our nightmare ever end?
Addressing my friends, I'm asking when our perpetual nightmare will be over?

Pull the trigger and the nightmare stops...forever you will learn[3x]
If the trigger is pulled, our nightmare will end forever, and this is a lesson that you will carry with you for the rest of your life.
