Visions are the skeletons to bear
Images of a faceless man
The voices are screaming again
Illusions are quickly becoming a nightmare
How did it come to this
Battered broken bodies piling underneath me
Only some things time can mend
Only some things time can mend
Devour the souls of the cowards
While climbing the ladder of power
Red hands deflecting the blame
All this time it was me
It was me
I'm the deceiver
So make an example of me
Force feeding lies
Entitlement's a disease
Bend the truth to deceive them
Taking a mile when there's no room to breathe
This affliction we welcome
Now the cold gets colder
Now there's nothing more to say
In familiar silence I remain
Fearing the consequences
Was there an answer all along
I'm starting to wonder maybe I was wrong
Take on the burden
Take on the blame
There's nowhere to hide
Everyone here has chosen to fly
Don't leave me behind
Down here the city is empty
With heaven still miles above me
Wandering aimlessly
I remain locked in a vacancy
Now the cold gets colder
Now there's nothing more to say
In familiar silence I remain
Fearing the consequences
Was there an answer all along?
I'm starting to wonder maybe I was wrong
Take on the burden
Take on the blame
There's nowhere to hide
Take on the burden
Take on the blame
Don't leave me behind
Now the cold gets colder
Now there's nothing more to say
In familiar silence I remain
Fearing the consequences
Was there an answer all along?
I'm starting to wonder maybe I was wrong
