Outlive

These are trying times Made to break the heart wide But we still defy We will make the dead rise We can't be silent, we can't belong We have a promise, to die upon We'll set the fire into a song To burn eternal when we're all gone These are trying times Made to break the heart wide But we still defy We will make the dead rise We will make the dead rise

Oh! Give me the call and the power to be Show me the will to lead and see me reign Take me to a higher pain Sever the burden and tell me to run Open the gates of mercy when I come Give me every want in vain Or give me none Give me (Eyes wide) See red (I'm why) Bloodshed (Eyes wide) So I don't forget (I'm why) I'm why Jesus wept Show me the weight of a fury divine Bury the dark inside, let waste the flood Drown us in holy blood We are the shallow, the scoffers of Hell Shatter the path of self into the black Take me to the end of hope And bring me back Give me (Eyes wide) See red (I'm why) Bloodshed (Eyes wide) So I don't forget (I'm why) (Eyes wide) See red (I'm why) Bloodshed (Eyes wide) So I don't forget (I'm why) I'm why Jesus wept Give me (Eyes wide) See red (I'm why) Bloodshed (Eyes wide) So I don't forget (I'm why) (Eyes wide) See red (I'm why) Bloodshed (Eyes wide) So I don't forget (I'm why) I'm why Jesus wept

In the dim light of a sacred heart See the vacant all descending to a left-hand path Where the dead reign in the godless dark Every martyr flying blind into the hands of wrath We give way to sorrow When the self is all we build And wake up tomorrow In the blood of who we killed We are the kingdom come We are come undone And our shadows bleed to one By a cold winter sun Give a weak mind all the coldest steel Our beloved at the mercy of a heartless horde Tear the cause out, let the cowards reel Bring the demon to the teeth and lacerate the cord We give way to sorrow When the self is all we build And wake up tomorrow In the blood of who we killed We are the kingdom come We are come undone And our shadows bleed to one By a cold winter sun In the blood of who we killed We are the kingdom come We are come undone And our shadows bleed to one By a cold winter sun We are the kingdom come We are come undone And our shadows bleed to one By a cold winter, cold winter sun

I see now, we're all that's left I can't begin to hold my breath For something else We gave in, gave up on hope We left them length enough in rope To free themselves Then I woke to find you here I felt the light Saw you take the fire inside Break the silence wide I thought I died Died in my sleep Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh How can this be? No witness, no means to end We cannot wait to keep this in To free ourselves Then I woke to find you here I felt the light Saw you take the fire inside Break the silence wide I thought I died Died in my sleep Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh How can this be? Died, died in my sleep Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh How can this be? Died, died in my sleep Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh How can this be? Died, died in my sleep (Died in my sleep) Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh How can this be? (How can this be?) Died, died in my sleep (Died in my sleep) Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh How can this be?

There is a light I've seen beneath the end Nothing below Can seem to hold it in Deep enough to feel your heart break To know I've gotta leave Just below the surface, waiting Close enough to breathe When I go to sleep Bury me three feet deep I'm not half as dead as they are Half as dead as you All of the weight Dead weight, to keep me there Still not enough No gray to fill the air Deep enough to feel your heart break To know I've gotta leave Just below the surface, waiting Close enough to breathe When I go to sleep Bury me three feet deep I'm not half as dead as they are Half as dead, half as dead as you Bury me three feet deep I'm not half as dead as they are Half as dead, half as dead as you All your conviction Still not enough to wake All your conviction Still not enough to wake When I go to sleep Bury me three feet deep I'm not half as dead as they are Half as dead, half as dead as you Bury me three feet deep I'm not half as dead as they are Half as dead, half as dead as you

Drowning in desperation Wide eyes, burning red Taken by disconnected lust Feed, choke, despise They prey upon us Our death of self-restraint Maggots inhaling praise Make low my high Torn apart, all alone Sacred heart made of stone Can't stay above, can't take enough Soul-depleting love Hollow and black just like the ash Running through my blood Cold blood Cold blood Cold blood Vacant in motivation White hearts and hollow words Dying to validate your debt Lost souls in rise No separation No affirming word Righteous refusal of decay Burn through your lies Torn apart, all alone Sacred heart made of stone Can't stay above, can't take enough Soul-depleting love Hollow and black just like the ash Running through my blood Your contribution A desperate display of brokenness It's all the same now Same paper crown by lesser means The flower dies in time And when it does, there's nothing left What a shame A legacy denied for hollow gain Can't stay above, can't take enough Soul-depleting love Hollow and black just like the ash Running through my blood Can't stay above, can't take enough Soul-depleting love Hollow and black just like the ash Running through my blood Cold blood Cold blood Cold blood Blood Cold blood Cold blood Cold blood Blood Cold blood Cold blood Cold blood

The balance, the path is made Nothing standing in my way Indifferent, but turning gray Over the fragile ground we laid It may be calm for now Oh, but somewhere else It's raining down Under the promise of a dark and heartless sky Raining now We know the flood is coming Don't close your eyes The solace, the serenade Every season in its place The shelter, the only name Holding misery at bay It may be calm for now Oh, but somewhere else It's raining down Under the promise of a dark and heartless sky Raining now We know the flood is coming Don't close your eyes Raining down Under the promise of a dark and heartless sky Raining now We know the flood is coming Don't close your eyes Raining down Under the promise of a dark and heartless sky Raining now We know the flood is coming Don't close your eyes

There is a solace, a reason divine Beneath the wreckage of the words we said In my delusion, you'd open your eyes But that's a reasonless want of the dead Oh! So tired of failing Trying to filter these lines I'm over the reeling You should pray for Patience, starting with me No guarantee of the high road Face it, you're starting to bleed Caught in the teeth of a real life threat You are the rope, the crippling coil Around the neck of every chance we were And I refuse to lie here in wait And see the room begin to fade and blur So tired of failing Trying to filter these lines I'm over the reeling You should pray for Patience, starting with me No guarantee of the high road Face it, you're starting to bleed Caught in the teeth of a real life threat Patience, starting with me No guarantee of the high road Face it, you're starting to bleed Caught in the teeth of a real life Patience, starting with me No guarantee of the high road Face it, you're starting to bleed Caught in the teeth of a real life Threat

There was a time I had control No chains around me And inside I felt the calling, the pull Too many times I gave my soul to faltering hands To shadows that would take me, break me down God only knows how I cope with the pain Of holding my hands on the flame And nobody knows if the feeling will stay But you won't forget my name There's a fear I used to know Fear of loss in letting go Now my blood is running cold There's a fear I used to know Fear that hollowed out my soul The weight has taken toll You drew a crown around my word Left fate to drown me And I thought I could dismantle, disarm No matter how I cut my ties, I fracture inside Compulsion will define me, grind me down God only knows how I cope with the pain Of holding my hands on the flame And nobody knows if the feeling will stay But you won't forget my name There's a fear I used to know Fear of loss in letting go Now my blood is running cold There's a fear I used to know Fear that hollowed out my soul The weight has taken toll Let me catch my breath Follow the path given to me Must be something left Under the wreck Calling, pulling Let me catch my breath Follow the path given to me Must be something left Under the wreck Calling, pulling down Down Down There's a fear I used to know Fear of loss in letting go Now my blood is running cold There's a fear I used to know Fear that hollowed out my soul The weight has taken toll There's a fear I used to know Fear of loss in letting go Now my blood is running cold There's a fear I used to know Fear that hollowed out my soul The weight has taken toll
