Lyrics
Time, in my dying grace.
Sparked by a life, I'm the sole survivor.
One down, saved the day.
No remorse, just kill me one more time.
Against somber despair.
Reaped what's sown, a cross to bear.
Object rejection, wound devoured by tears.
It's a sad, sad world that I won't stand for.
Reservation, obscene sense of hatred.
Deliver me into the fire.
Let's resolve what has begun.
This is the war. You are the one.
I won't lay down and die for you.
I won't bear this cross for you.
Risen to the surface,
A fate you cannot hide.
Fail to taste the poison,
Now you see through bitter eyes.
Flawless, the scars were never real.
A temptation of betrayal.
Longing for and dying for,
I consider myself free.
I won't lay down and die for you.
I won't bear this cross for you.
Here it is, all I see.
Right through you, right through me.
Realize, breaking down distrust.
Lies are forgiven.
Breaking down this lust.
Lies are forgiven.
