I've waited for so long to feel alone again
I swore i'd never miss your face
But love won't last forever
Coax the life into my bones
Separate the body from the soul
Seven years waiting for redemption
Lost in your smile
Love won't last forever
(2x) Shallow be thy grave Hallowed be thy head
Sacred are these words
Dry my heart is bled
I can feel myself drowning in your eyes
The tender kiss of an angel in disguise
Behind your eyes you see the way your lips deceive me, it sets me at ease
These sacred words they break my heart (5x)
These words keep breaking my heart, blood of a body torn
Laid down to rest within the water where our love was born
These words keep breaking my heart and soul
Where our love was born
My head in my hand, my weakness
The soul that wont leave me alone
The power you had over me to take me away from my home
Is laid to rest within the water where our love was born

Tonight another screaming sleep will not come
Forever picking sand from my eyes
Impossible love born from your hands
Which now are covered with blood of my heart
Know,
once I was believing my truth revealed and inner demonic fear
Of dying with my eyes closed, always one step closer to death
The moment you turned on me you smiled with regret
Scraped from my teeth a passion for escape
Untying knots in my neck to let me sleep
Lay me gently to my grave
If anyone can hear me, tell her I stole her heart and
Now and forever its buried in my chest
Slowly caving onto my lungs
Now lay me down gently into my grave

The dream I never used to want to wake from,
I would always see your face
as I woke Inside my sleep-
you
You said you'd love me forever,
you said it was forever-
you lied
I want to see what I could never be
Heaven rained down mercy, burning my feet
When our love has been put to sleep
Breaking glass in my eyes when I weep
For our love has been put to sleep

I see the blood-red sky is fading into black
For souls carved in misery, to the earth shot in their backs
Fortunate children rise to reach the blood-red sun
The veins of waters breaking upon the souls they flood
Patriotism failed
Born to die bound and blind
Force - fed by your mouth
Peaceful amends not met, when solidarity cannot be reached,
Carry me into the ground
Solidarity cannot be reached
All the mistakes of a generation come crashing back into your face
2x Separation leads to mistrust
buried beside our fallen blood
Cellophane - painted bombs built by the stars and stripes
Salute the slaughtered sky, die by the stars and stripes

Pray for the crown - fallen monarchs
Look to the battered womb
Self - destroyed liars tomb
Our pleas for freedom fall deaf on wounded plains
Constructed, Destroyed, Destined to fail
Resurrect - dreams are dead and gone (4x)
To build a nation on walls of glass
Like carrying the world on broken legs
Who do we have to look toward?
They've already stolen our eyes
Controlling every feeling to safeguard their demise
How can you wait for the sky to fall with bloodless eyes?
You cannot except the fall of your empire
With no concept of understanding
You cannot bring forth the fall of a nation
With no concept of understanding
You cant bring forth a revolution until you open your eyes
Believe in the cause if you want to survive
You want a revolution come get it,
you cant escape what lives in your heart
You want a revolution come get it,
Your own escape is all you want
Before the end of this pitiful nation,
strip back the facade of the chosen few
To build a nation on walls of glass
The end of your reign soon will come to pass
