"The Scourge" lyrics

"The Scourge"

As I sit with eyes heavy omens clear
Face down in seclusion, the evils steer
What drives the stake within my heart
This man he fell apart
Now that the entrance is open wide
This black all around makes its way inside
What have you done? Will hate abide?
Where is my death invitation? Elation?

Dead winds swirling beneath these prayers on high
I'd give my life for a taste of, taste of
What lies beyond the dead place now
Live Earth rising beneath these hands untied
I leave my life for the void!

(Never one of them, I am not free...)

I am not free!

Survive! I will survive!
Glass ceilings above drop rage upon them (raging upon them)
Stone cold fists and a memory running on the blunt end of a blade
The blood that is spilled shall start my serenade, to you

I will survive
I will survive
Survive!

Silence is bringing on the heart attack
Pushing and pulling going on within my brain
It says to lay low
Dead end, the darkness latches on
Now I am a product of a mind
That wasn't ever mine
And now it says "kill them slow"
Weighed down
I'm drowning in this stale moment
Renown is yelling at me from above
This is a one way road
Kill them slow
