lyrics

I wish that moment had lasted an eternity
With which I could handle the creatures around me
Tearing the flesh from my kin

A martyr in mind but a coward in practice appears
Delivers a sermon of falls upon deaf ears
And nobody’s ears but his own.

I wish that I was not overcome
And worth redeeming
But everything I built was under the
Guise of greater good

Is this even remorse?

I should have thrown myself
Between their mangled teeth and my people
But I was partial to my skin
Now I’ve left you all
All alone

With a crack, they hit the ground
Like fallen angels all around me
The soundtrack was sickening
Then descended the vultures
Maddened with sickness and hunger alike

You all look to me as if I have an answer
Your Aspirer aspires for respite
And a vessel to harbor the night
Come on, look to me as if I have an answer
Your Denier denies you his right

Crash, it’s all the same

Clawing at this foothold
Running in circles is growing insane
Over my dead fable
Running in circles is growing insane
(And getting your thoughts straight, inaner yet)

And I ran
Left the turmoil behind me
How I ran
From the chaos of my craft

Please forgive me,
I tried so hard to make a difference
Decompose here until the end
In wasteland

I am the bastard of this realm
I was a jester in a crown
My people’s remains above the ground
Cause I’m a coward

No! I buried you
When I was all you needed
Their misguided worship
A captain retreated
I’ll outrun the day
I’ll outrun today in cowardice
