[Verse 1] What if this image was taken In an instant erased from the world What if the truth is too far And you reality can't cope with the distance In the abstract a mind never challenged Is the bearer of merciless fate [Chorus] All you can feel is the loss of who you are By force or by fire, by force or by flame All you will know is the void of emptiness By force or the flame 'til reason prevails [Verse 2] When the doubt starts to creep in your mind And subverts the true cause of your ways You must remain a witness of merciless fate [Chorus] All you can feel is the loss of who you are By force or by fire, by force or by flame All you will know is the void of emptiness By force or the flame [Bridge] All that you see is a darkness From the outside looking in(2x) All you can sense is surface tension From a distance grasping at straws (2x) [Chorus] All you can feel is the loss of who you are It's not about you, it's not about you All you will know is the void of emptiness By force of the flame, this merciless fate
