lyrics

And the sentence was set
To embalm me while I still breathe.
An ill-intentioned injection
To keep me in place.

Veins stung as they tightened
Bringing nausea and violent screams.
Slowly I calcified in these
Bleak burial grounds.

Now all that I own
Is time and grief.
Vines gather and cocoon
My undying limbs.

As biotic needs subside
I'm forced to sit and stare
At the familiar
Names on the tombstones.

Was my only purpose
To thrive off treachery
And betray all those who have faith in me?

I dragged cadavers
From graves to frontline.
If only I'd known I had ended their lives.

Centuries spent sulking.
Rewalking paths I've imagined
When a new glimpse of hope is born
Bringing my arms life.

No longer can I stay
A still specimen to regret.
With a rudely fashioned scalpel
Madness takes control.

Self-dissecting through
Cobwebbed marrow.
I'd rather writhe in pain
Than rest anymore.

Even if this will
Only bring misery
It's still worth the risk
To feel human again.

Was my only purpose
To thrive off treachery
And betray all those who have faith in me?

I dragged cadavers
From graves to frontline.
If only I'd known I had ended their lives.

I must deserve this promethia
If even hell has denied me.

Everyone I care about has been dead for many years.
Even if I find a way out, I will still die alone.

Was my only purpose
To thrive off treachery
And betray all those who have faith in me?

I dragged cadavers
From graves to frontline.
If only I'd known I had ended their lives.

If only I'd known.
