"Hostage" lyrics

"Hostage"

Helpless
I was a stranger in a crowd of fools
Emptiness sewn into their eyes
A two-way door into a tomb
We are but destined to know demise
Life, a perfect prison for us
Before there was blood to bleed
Only the dead knew the end of war
Only a fool followed a dying dream

Heavy is the stone of sorrow
Ah, heavy is the stone of sorrow

The past so ravenous
Walk with the ghosts of guilt
Tomorrow's punishment
For the wretched world we built
Innocence annihilated
This world will crush what we created

I'm still your hostage
These chains around my bones
Your hostage
Heavy is the stone of sorrow

Hell is calling
Follow the pull
To the abyss
We have seen what the future holds
Earthly burden, this cavernous hole
Servants long for the lord's release
Hours in the eyes, a darkness exposed
The arrow through the heart of humanity

Only the dead know the end
May we meet again
Only the dead know the end
May we meet again

Heavy is the stone of sorrow
Ah, heavy is the stone of sorrow

Innocence annihilated
This world will crush what we created

I'm still your hostage
These chains around my bones
Your hostage
Heavy is the stone of sorrow

Only the dead know the end
May we meet again
Only the dead know the end
May we meet again
