"Curtains" lyrics

"Curtains"

Draw the curtains closed now
We're waiting... contemplating
Tears will roll down
Sorrow vacant, presence fading
Oh, how we've waited for this

Our home is where the heart goes to die
We bled, you lied, no sacrifice
Manipulating us all, yet you were compensating for years left cold
Not worth saving
Soon the bells will toll
Presence fading
In death, you will face it all

Why must I be this way if you are ending our pain?
Or will I always have to feel this weight?
You have extinguished the flame
And our lives won't be the same
But all these songs will always scream your fucking name

I'll always feel this way
But I know we'll be ok
The sun will rise again
Now that you face the end

The fear shivers up and down your spine
As the bells start to chime
But only now will you realize
Penance for what you've done
Atonement's finally come
And now you'll waste away
And now you'll waste away

The fear shivers up and down your spine
As the bells start to chime
But only now will you realize
Penance for what you've done
Atonement's finally come
And now you'll waste away

Fuck

On the day when I'm old and grey
I'll face the reaper with tears of joy crawling
From my withered and sunken eyes
He'll reach for me and I'll oblige
I extend my arms for his cold embrace
And with my last frail breath, I'll say:
"Our name will die with me."

You leave us broken
Just like you left me all those years ago
Now that I've spoken
I will leave you forevermore
