These battles that we choose When for ages we've been abused Through centuries and decades Imprisoned in our own rage No more agony in here The last outpost for you and me Stronger and stronger We march silently onward I'm stuck in this void Trapped in this forsaken maelstrom How were we to know The limits of temptation Yearning for your touch I can never get enough Broken hearts of gla** so fragile The tidal waves of love In the shadow of d**h We try to endure Living in the ruins Of what we once knew Reaching out To you – one more time Fatigued I drown In your presence everlasting… I hunt in the dead of night alone Seeking further pleasures With a darkened mind, a heart of stone Aim to decrease this pressure What once was lost, now re-possessed Now forever part of me Like vultures in the sky Preying on those who bleed In the shadow of d**h We try to endure Living in the ruins Of what we once knew Reaching out To you – one more time Fatigued I drown In your presence everlasting… A raven on my shoulder Walk into an open grave My spirit is getting colder My soul a black hidden cave Burning from within Engulfed In my own despair Drowning Dark twin on my shoulder Crawl into a sombre womb My spirit is growing older My mind is bound to be my tomb Burning from within Engulfed In my own despair Drowning...drowning! In your presence everlasting
