about

This is a single written by Chris Williamson and Zachary Kepley. The lyrical content of this song covers coping with loss and contemplation of life and death.

lyrics

Honor and pride mean nothing to me.
Glory and fortune, drown in the sea.
My fury will blot out the sun.

I feel comfort in the black.
Stabbing the martyr in the back.
The creeping terror breaking down my neck
sold its soul for nothing.


Gold and silver.
So cold.
The winter
bites my throat.
The fever
Inside.
I am dying.

Inside I am dying
to enact my bloody revenge.

Tell me why did you take her away form me?

For all the pain I endured
Just To bury the past
Is fucking insane.

The burden I carry
Is scaring the ones that I love.
Their running away.

I carry the torch of the forgotten,
battered, beaten people
the ones you betrayed.

You buried it
Never to care again.
Leaving a family to suffer the consequence.

Death is no escape
Pain once you awake
Nothing is an enigma
The truth is inside.

Why?
We seek the answers.
Why must we always suffer?
Devoid of purpose.
We break our backs for fortune.

And now we find ourselves
Isolated 
and feeling so alone.

Death has taken away.
Everything that I hold dear
And I feel so cold and afraid
Drowning my pain in the dark

Ever closer
Stepping
Off of the edge
Drifting in and out of
conciseness
Suddenly
I am awake
But your eyes still remain closed

Damnit
Not again
What’s the point
I did everything right
Life was perfect
I don’t deserve this
No more
Please
Stop it
I can’t take this
I made mistakes
and now I cannot go back
I am forever the damned
And I’m left with questions to ask.
Why am I still alive?

Return to nothing
I rest my weary soul

Praise the enigma
Worship the anomaly
Pleasure is a fry cry from the bliss that is the truth

I’m on that roof with the scope
Head shot
Now the people running
Helicopters coming
They take the money form me


They murder your family and sold you a casket that lasted a week and a half
then laugh at the fact that you lack the compassion to fight and attack.


Stand up for yourself
Nobody will help
They promise you heaven and lead you to hell

Dead

Only internally
Twisting and turning
And murdering
Servants who worship technology
Pray for the lottery
Solving your problems with money

Now isn’t that shit really funny
I find it ironic that profit is measured in blood
For a dollar you drown in the mud.
Lying and saying that everything okay
But inside you are broke and your mind is a slave
So pick up that shovel go ahead and get to digging
You serve a better purpose when your body not living


I’m on that roof with the scope
Head shot
Now the people running
Helicopters coming
They take the money form me
