Eighteen Visions - Violence Surrounds Lyrics

Eighteen Visions Lyrics

"Violence Surrounds"

Ernest Hemingway once wrote, "The world is a fine place and worth fighting for."
I agree with the second part

Violence surrounds me
As I confess
This pilgrim sanctified
And taken to the edge

Head broken
Take it apart as I show no restraint
I am the late repentant
Baptized in the flames

Another tortured soul
Another tortured soul

It swallows me as it purifies
It swallows me as it purifies

Violence surrounds me
I feel their wrath
Can't see past my delusions
Angels dressed in black

Head broken
Take it apart as I show no restraint
I am the late repentant
Baptized in the flames

Another tortured soul
Another tortured soul

It swallows me as it purifies
It swallows me as it purifies

This justice so divine
I've purged these sins of mine
On this mountain high
I now see paradise

Erase the imperfections
The horrors that I breed
Erase the imperfections
The memories I keep

Erase away
Violence surrounds me
Erase away
Violence surrounds me

Violence, violence
Violence surrounds me
Violence, violence
Violence surrounds
