Stripped bare and torched Blood-red eyes Cast a shadow Into the core Where fate takes its form Emerging from ashes, stained with loss Rapture on the horizon Please take them all As terror rains down Tremble at the sound Tremble at the sound They hover above My every hope, my faintest dreams A swarm of blades To sever the cord Strung out and starved Led to the water Drowned in the well By God's sons and daughters I'd trade forever for one more day I'd trade forever for one more day In the sun where I belong I'd trade forever for one more day Stripped bare and torched Grip the steel Made to exterminate In realms unknown Cries unheard The final gasps Of a dying breed Light the way To the end
