lyrics

A dance with destiny
a fixed natural order to the cosmos.
events that are inevitable
But sad nonetheless

the chaotic and unforeseeable turns of chance
in the world where the dead are forgotten
a girl shall be taken away from the rest
at no fault of her own

The face was undeniably Beautiful,
As the morning light grasped her face in sorrow
with delicate bones and a mass of long black hair
she shone upon the pavement, an angel with a bloody halo

As the cold chill in the air Dies
and the moon hides behind the veil of light
The world holds still if only for this moment
suspended in the nihilistic place that is life

the way the shadows
ran away from the body
The speechless moment
The cold air leaving her mouth

and this pain, it controls you
and you don't know what to do
and This pain it holds you
and makes you want to hate

Thousands of years of progress
and we may as well live without
these gifts that we give
ourselves

Approaching the body, You feel too familiar
How did you get here? What is the point this
This is so ugly, a situation i hate
Why am i so happy? something inside burning

You senses are telling you to run
but you have to see this play out
Who are you waiting for?
What is it forcing you to wait and see

The feeling starts in your stomach
the flaming hate crawling up the inside of your throat
It grasps your eyes from the inside and forces you to stare downward
and you see and you see

Why is there blood on your hands, what will they think
who are they and where are you? Where is everyone else?
Are you alone? was she the other last person?
It was the morning how is it night now?

Your gut is screaming
You eyes begin burning
Her eyes open
Her loath is still alive

Staring at the sky
you scream out
'i am the one
who deserves to

DIEEEEE'

Grasping your throat the entire world dims
Ripping out your esophagus you arms are held back
you can no longer punish yourself, your arms suspended
The prick and the numbing returns again

You know you need to fall into this bliss
to forget what has been done
a new scar has been added to your collection
And you may survive, but you will never live again
