Lyrics
You burned my soul again
Crashed me within, I know I should’ve known
I burn your kingdoms
At fault for what you made, alone
And so I pray
Clasp my hands together, hear me now
And hope someday
Come whatever, I may fade away
I never die
Lie at night, wondering why
(I’m never ever ever ever gonna die)
I’ll never bow to the reaper who takes your lives
I’ll never cry
(I’m never ever ever ever gonna die)
Oh, though I try
Immortal sacrifice
Hear my words, preacher. I’m crucified
I’ll never die
Oh, My chariot’s flame is snuffed out and
Tide is high, waves that I’ve weathered are all consuming
Can’t you take me home now?
Oh, Live to see endless decay
Am I the reason? Godlike but known as a demon
I’ll never die
Disturbed, you made me sin
My genesis, a revelation made
This world is pretend
Stuck before the fateful seventh day
Can I be saved if I’m nothing but lights in a machine, an immortal copy
When there is nothing and you’ve finally left me, can I steal the sound of your heartbeat?
Angel fell with no wings
Is it me? I can’t think
What will you do when I’ve become
Your greatest achievement and point of destruction, I’m trying but my eyes are blind please
You’re my creator, absolve me of sins, touch my shoulder, allow me to see
Gave my trust to a lie
Breathe in me, give me life
My chariots
Oh, My chariot’s flame is snuffed out and
Tide is high, waves that I’ve weathered are all consuming
Can’t you take me home now?
Oh, Live to see endless decay
Am I the reason? Godlike but known as a demon
I’ll never die
