[ Verse 1 ]

Between the transitioning of times
Are those that bring forth changes 
Resembling unfinished paintings 
That turn into a collection of constellations
That blend the brightness of the day 
And then connect the darkness to the night
We all wake up after we close our eyes

[ Chorus ]

Heaven and Hell, Hell and Heaven 
A tenuous veil to look through an hour behind eleven 
Hell and Heaven, Heaven and Hell
Shortly before dusk, the beautiful archangel once fell

[ Verse 2 ]

Eyelids at their heaviest, batting eyelashes 
That switch from open to closed
And there’s very few seconds.... Left 
But side by side they’re juxtaposed 
And the one eye sees life
While the other one knows 
An unconscious death, and the bones 
Of skeletons, in the cemetery, row by row

Experiencing dreamless sleep is the closest I can get 

[ Chorus ]

Heaven and Hell, Hell and Heaven 
A tenuous veil to look through an hour behind eleven 
Hell and Heaven, Heaven and Hell
Shortly before dusk, the beautiful archangel once fell

[ Verse 3 ]

But both eyes provide a full range of vision
Although straight down the middle
There’s a spot to aim and draw 

And guide a disobedient missile

I’m in between a spiritual duality 
And my naked eye wants to see everything 

Mephistopheles smoothly collided outside my home 
In the oak tree, he designed the fire on his own 
The sun sets perfectly at 10 P.M. 
Blazing leaves and swirling tree rings,
Yellow and crimson

Crimson and yellow 

Michael waves goodbye 
And the devil solutes a 
H e l l [o] 
Yellow and crimson

[ Chorus ]

Heaven and Hell, Hell and Heaven 
A tenuous veil to look through an hour behind eleven 
Hell and Heaven, Heaven and Hell
Shortly before dusk, the beautiful archangel once fell

[ Outro ]

Yellow and crimson
Crimson and yellow
H e l l [o] 
H e l l [o] 
I’m friends with the devil
