A cataclysm, a hollow frame
A quiet guilt confines,
I twist and turn my blame,
I self assassinate,
Take back all these memories I can't take the weight
Stripped of my tar and feathered wings
Weightless, unmoving these actions are not my own
I take the blame so I escape, what I cannot control
(Hubris, the smoldered thread of fate,
Atlas unburdened from his weight.)
Chorus:
(1) Where do I turn to when there's no one left
When the world stops turning and the oceans collapse
A permafrost from a poisoned sky
And I can't face it
An armageddon, a shattered trust
A question of how and why
The truth keeps sinking in,
I can’t undo my sins,
Remove my delusions, they’re making me sick
Strapped to, these concrete shoes of grief
Breathing arrhythmic, reactions I can't deny
Growing obsessed as I forget,
The days that pass me by
Charred blood of war
The darkness of starvation
Conquest, white shores
The pale march of desolation x4
I watch the world fall
(Chorus)
(2)This solemn vision has possessed my eyes
and I feel so hollow watching all I love die
Yet all is one, and one is all
I bleed my life out and watch the world fall
I bleed my life out and watch the world fall
I bleed my life out and watch the world fall
