Never had the chance
Never had the voice or reason
Bonds broken on sight
The only truth was built on lies
The ashes stained my skin
Cold steel burnt beneath my reason
Consequences earned
Lessons never learnt
Destructive state of mind
Stand down, or push to the front line
I hear their voices, they scream for reprieve
I've severed all the ties
Shattered the disguise
Destructive state of mind
Stand down, or push to the front line
Never forget the dead still bound in iron
Never regret, torn skies, the earth is fading
As the collective mind of humankind meets with demise
The only truth I know was built on lies
I concede
The treasure found below
The secrets buried beneath
They've lived without, they'll die the same
They'd rather bleed than reconnect with their fucking souls
Release me from this tomb
I've taken all I can consume
The hammer falls and the sentence reads
Innocent fry, the accused walk free
Have you ever looked into their eyes
Question this life, when all else is ruins
Look to the sky, your strength is bound within your words
I've severed all the ties
Shattered the disguise
Destructive state of mind
Stand down, or push to the front line
Never forget the dead still bound in iron
Never regret, torn skies, the earth is fading
As the collective mind of humankind meets with demise
The only truth I know was built on lies
Stand down, or push to the front line
As the collective mind of humankind meets with demise
The only truth I know was built on lies
