The Death We Seek

I know that you might try to chase me You'll never know what lies beneath One'll rise, the others fall We've come to face our grief Rotten and vile from the inside out Living in tragedy One chance to break the elegy One shot to clip the wings of catastrophe We only wander in our place Without a doubt, there's become a price to pay The only martyr with the means They'll nеver speak for me Whеn the darkness comes, I beg you don't follow me Pull me out from all I've known Let it swallow me I'm done making my own nightmares Yeah We have come to wash away the greed Blurred lines break down the fabric It's time, you have no choice to leave Hesitation leaves us defenseless It's time, command lines are breaking With everything I have, I will find them It's time, command lines are breaking With everything I have, I will find them It's time, command lines are breaking Death is the only answer Hate is nothing to a king Pierce through the vitals, make them bleed Contrition void in violence Destruction of the gods Victory costs everything When the darkness comes, I beg you don't follow me Pull me out from all I've known Let it swallow me I'm done making my own nightmares With wings now cut We spiral down We're left with nothing, and you call this peace Please don't follow me I'm done making my own nightmares Go

Reflections of violent shadows follow me for life Never gave into foolishness, but suddenly you're wrong What you want, I can't offer, even now, on this throne Set a course for a new life where each day's another disaster Now we're forced to reveal it for ourselves It's not hard to get lost on a path so unfamiliar (A path that's always been) Save a life at what cost? Now we're on a track we've all forgotten We're counting down The furthеr we descend now, wе tangle the web Compounding our torn existence Sick and twisted, drowning in darkened thoughts of a life we're all born to squander Slow now, the hate sets on like a father scorns desponded sons If there's any way out, we'll find it It's not hard to get lost on a path so unfamiliar (A path that's always been) Save a life at what cost? Now we're on a track we've all forgotten (Complacency) It's not hard to get lost It's not hard to get lost It's not hard to get lost on a path so unfamiliar (A path that's always been) Save a life at what cost? Now we're on a track we've all forgotten (Extinction) The way I'd seen it, we were in control But it's just not the way this works It's not hard to get lost on a path so unfamiliar A path that's always been Take a bow for the long forgotten

Lift the chains Find yourself to your voice and speak Reclaim the life you chose to lead Everything about this world has changed since we fell asleep Pick up the ashes and weep The world you loved is now the enemy Bitter blood like wine, forever now intoxicating Pick up the ashes and weep The world you love is obsolete Separation led to an altered state Divorced from our reality Finally, lost the will to fight, let my whole life slip away Only to find myself undone over and over Hanging above on the highest wire, burned through more than I can give Only to find myself alone over and over When the bones begin to crumble from the poison in the rain We're left with nothing but our memories until they slowly start to fade Can we make this stop? Can we twist the hands of fate? Can we make this stop? Or are we damned to taste defeat? Finally, lost the will to fight, let my whole life slip away Only to find myself undone over and over Hanging above on the highest wire, burned through more than I can give Only to find myself alone over and over Torment Make this stop Torment Caught dead in the throes of our disease Did you see this coming? Caught dead in the throes of our disease Are we all to blame? We are constantly shamed We are constantly shamed Finally, lost the will to fight, let my whole life slip away Only to find myself undone over and over Hanging above on the highest wire, burned through more than I can give Only to find myself alone over and over

Recast the stones Blind meddling upon the place we call our home Derivatives of serrated recollections taking form I'm on my own, my mind is made in the cold of suffering Crossing to a land of the heartless where we'll be dead regardless A mind deceived, a lie we've lived We were offered a love for the loveless Beyond this road There's another world we could carve out for ourselves We can't be slowed Breaking down the walls that divide us from our dreams Do you hate me? Are you trying to forget the desolation and disdain? Holding down another lie to bring silence over another tragedy I swear, dissolution seeps in every breath we get to breathe Liberate ourselves from the open wounds so we can't admit defeat Block out the screams Waking at night upon this bed of ash Taste the blood and get a scent of death while your children stand upon the throne of judgment Is this why you exist? To repel your reality? Beyond this road There's another world we could carve out for ourselves We can't be slowed Breaking down the walls that divide us from our dreams Is it so wrong to only want to go to the places that we loved? Ignore the silence that keeps us guessing if we're on our own Something's watching, something's coming this way Sinking its teeth into the lives we've lost Taste the blood of your sons Taste the blood and get a sense of the other side Can't do wrong when your reality's gone Taste the blood and get a sense of the other side Can't do wrong when your reality's gone A mind deceived, a lie we've lived We were offered a love for the loveless Beyond this road There's another world we could carve out for ourselves We can't be slowed Breaking down the walls that divide us from our dreams Taste the blood, become one with death

I can see behind your eyes, like a window to your soul I can see the doubt consuming from the outside in If I can't get out of here, will you promise to be strong? Find a way to stop our history from repeating I can't shake this feeling I see the signs that we've gone astray So now we close our eyes We'd rather die than face all our mistakes There's no use concealing the writing on the wall Tonight we dine in hell, so here we dwell I'd be thе first to say, "I'm sorry" But there's no time lеft for remorse Another relic frozen in a time I can't remember You will not defeat me This will be the night I take control You will not defeat me This will be the tale of my resolve I can't shake this feeling I see the signs that we've gone astray So now we close our eyes We'd rather die than face all our mistakes There's no use concealing the writing on the wall Tonight we dine in hell, so here we dwell Tonight we will die Bound together now Tonight we will die Bound together, we are forced to take the fall Tonight we will die to recover the world I can't shake this feeling I see the signs that we've gone astray I see the signs that we've gone astray I can't shake this feeling I see the signs that we've gone astray So now we close our eyes, we'd rather die than face all our mistakes There's no use concealing the writing on the wall Tonight we dine in hell, so here we dwell

Light the fire tonight Our bones are tired and bruised, but it's warming To sit in silence with brightened eyes as we start anew Maybe this is our chance to Tip the scales and play the gods We know that we all never will be Change the world, defy the odds For we owe what cannot be repaid And there's no stopping our minds From spinning over again All that matters is we keep moving Oh God, we've tried to overcome thе pain But all that's left for now Is to face the livеs that lie beyond us Don't say no We will run till the sun won't guide us Don't say no We will run till the sun won't guide us home Instead of mending the scars, you cut right over them Can you tell me If life's not worth it to start Why don't we start accepting the people we're dying to be? Hell's become a part of me When you look at yourself, do you look through me? Hell's become a part of me When you look at yourself, do you look through me? Hell's become a part of me When you look at yourself, do you look through me? Hell's become a part of me When you look at yourself, do you look at me? Born of the bred We had no way of choosing our existence Don't "save" us Like we're unworthy of your forgiveness Don't "save" us Like we're unworthy of your forgiveness God, we've tried to overcome the pain But all that's left for now Is to face the lives that lie beyond us Don't say no We will run till the sun won't guide us Don't say no We will run till the sun won't guide us home Another match to add to the flame Another backed up memory Of what you'll never be to me Of what you'll never be to me Is it a testament to your grace When all the love left still remains? It's such a shame you had to leave I would've loved to meet you here
