This track is instrumental.
Rot away with the dissonance struck between each chord Every sour note sings the symphony of your approaching death Violins in the minor complete the sorrow you have driven upon yourself Sustaining the apathy That you need That you grieve [x2] Chained and weighted your body is sinking as you reach out to me Fingertips break the way Watch your life slip away You watched every changing moment pass you by [x2] Wishing you could see the sun rise one last time [x2] One more line till your last sunrise One more line till we mourn for you Your life rests on thin white lines To dissipate as the last flame burns like the friends you left behind You never felt life before You greeted death You strolled along the rail razors in hand Plunging head first into your own reflection Wishing you could see the sun rise one last time [x2] The ink is dry so turn the page to find an ending

The air is stale tasteless night No god dwells here only those who survive We found you here with no meaning Your body broke, lifeless No easy bargain would be made in that place The misery of a father that has seen his son's corpse (swing from the gallows) waiting where he hangs Remember hell Rest your head you have not deserved The images of hell Pulling iron from his chest (his life flashes before his eyes) The first light they strike Bodies pile so high The fire burns bright Heaven swallows the smoke [x2]

He is the warrior but uses no sword He is the painter that brings hope to this world Tonight he dines at the table of filth But conceals it as his darkest grey He lives in horror and fear that his actions will show the secret of his own soul The story is told simply as this Just a disguise just the grey in his mind The only color in the black of his mind Beauty on the outside is not real He is the warrior but uses no sword He is the painter that brings hope to this world Tonight he dines at the table of filth Wearing a mask made of glass to hide the grey that consumes his mind Like a painting of sorrow, of fear Beauty becomes a face in the crowd

We can change There is nothing good to say about a massacre Grant me serenity to accept what was Courage to change the things I can Wisdom to always tell the difference All races All colors One future Please be advised against the blood that resides within Baby make a way for our color blind generation (everything was beautiful and nothing hurt) (no more salt poured on this gaping wound) We cannot change the past so we make way for our future Take a trip into the cellar of a slaughterhouse The children still, the women in line The smell of blood haunts this room

I march into battle with the front lines In this war of faceless souls I am ready to die With fire in my step No fear of man We will not be overthrown We will cast the final stone I wage my life (for my cause) I'm willing to die (for my cause) We will cast the first stone in defiance Lying breathless in defeat we will leave you Our candles burn till light We are the fearless ones We set sail at dawn This is a call to arms We drown out our fears Not bound by you, this war is now We come with swords drawn We sail at dawn We set sail on seas of blood With cannons armed as darkness falls

These petals falling Your eyes are all I see As we plan out our lives You're why I survived I claim my prize I take my own [x2] As the rain pours down I will stand and smile As my sorrows are gone when I gaze into your eyes As the rain pours down you don't stop holding me You keep me dry through the storm You are my peace [x3] All my demons released They have no gold on me Rain turns to snow You still stand by me

So take your vows and seal them with a kiss Pour out your lives and seal them with a kiss Vows that fail with a kiss We will not sympathize with the life With the path you have chose You have lived Fill these wounds with wine Drink these wounds dry And drink into vengeance Drinking wine from the wounds of our dead wives [x3] Lips once soft now razor sharp Body once warm now dead, cold I take your hand in sickness and in health Or until I feel this love is dead And with this ring I will destroy your heart Dear so called love till death due us part We drove her to her grave And never thought of whom it would affect To be one Death to me Goodbye my bride

Day in day out A burden on me A gasp for breath is all I need Your words were not enough In ashes, I leave to find my peace Your words beautiful were not enough In ashes, I leave to find my peace Breathe you in one last time Hold you in You were mine [x2] Pull this rope tighter I hang here covered in shame [x5] In ashes, I leave to find my peace [x4] Take me without love Take my hand Bury me Take my life Kill me
