The Color of Dread

Verse 1

I was crowned on towers carved of violet stone

Wielding a ring that bent the stars alone

They called me greatest till the order turned to dust

Now I feed on every shudder and distrust

Chorus

Yellow light the color of your dread

Yellow light the terror in your head

I paint the sky with all you cannot face

Fear is honest fear has its own grace

Verse 2

They cast me out beyond the silent gate

Where smiths of shadow forged my second fate

A scholar's hand now masters panic cold

Every scream a page in stories old

Chorus

Yellow light the color of your dread

Yellow light the terror in your head

I paint the sky with all you cannot face

Fear is honest fear has its own grace

Pre-Chorus

They spoke of mercy from a throne of glass

But mercy dies when comets pass

No law can hold what nothing can restrain

Only fright keeps order in its chain

Chorus

Yellow light the color of your dread

Yellow light the terror in your head

I paint the sky with all you cannot face

Fear is honest fear has its own grace

Bridge

A war of colors rising from the deep

A thousand rings to wake the world from sleep

My blood my child my daughter on the line

The brightest dawn still bows to my design

Guitar Solo

Final Chorus

Yellow light the color of your dread

Yellow light the terror in your head

I am the storm that none can put away

Fear is honest fear has its own way
