oh my lord sheath thy sword please let thee guard thy door tonight try not to lose thy head
you raided every tomb and spaded every womb but you won't survive the night every legion every knight the enemies within let the prophecies begin you cannot realize how much i want your eyes them seven sacred fools they're breaking all your rules that pity little band the end is close at hard
oh my lord sheath thy sword please let thee guard thy door tonight try not to lose thy head
Seven Against Thebes doesn't matter I'll watch your head bleed upon a platter

one day i'll stop and forgive myself for all the things I've run from from all the things I've left unsaid to all the ones unsaid to
do it every time do it every time love em' to their face hate em' from behind i do it every time do it every time love em' to their face hate em' from behind
one day i'll try to make amends and put to rest this violence until it stops i can't sit still behind this veil of silence
you don't seem to believe me i don't doubt it's deceiving peel the skin it is empty i just need you to suck me out of hear we're running into here it’s coming out of fear we're running into here it’s coming down
one day i'll stop and forgive myself for all the things i've run from from all the things i've left unsaid to all the ones unsaid to
do it every time do it every time love em' to their face hate em' from behind i do it every time do it every time love em' to their face hate em' from behind

all alone in your room i feel your heat the time is soon i watched you sleep a little while i taste your fruit cramp your style though you try to rid of me it's just no good can't you see what's inside thee sanctifies me i'm such a slave to the smell that gives me wings straight to hell
now that we know just what we are without a word without a sound into these eyes i disagree if i were you locked inside of me you razed the wall i knocked it down i am the lost you are the found i found the key to get inside you are no longer sanctified
it's inside of me like that fly you just can't flee i'm that fly you just can't flee
i shed my skin and washed my hands for you i'll take one last stand what's inside thee sanctifies me no matter what the future holds i'm bugging you forever till you grow old
now that we know just what we are without a word without a sound into these eyes i disagree if i were you locked inside me you razed the wall i knocked it down i am the lost you are the found i found the key to get inside you are no longer sanctified
it's inside of me like that fly you just can't flee i'm that fly you just can't flee
you razed the wall i knocked it down i am the lost you are the found i found the key to get inside you are no longer sanctified

running in step in place in circles for you here around the things i knew i never said given the chance i know the follow through to make this real
this mask is all i see is all i feel is all i fear i'll ever but i need you to feel alive
everyone watches as this world has gone astray alone in the dreams of others nightmares half the time i find it real but the other half is looking back again through
this mask is all i see is all i feel is all i fear i'll ever be but i need you to feel alive
this mask is all i see is all i feel is all i fear i'll ever be but i need you to feel alive
i need you

i seen the sign i toasted wine to the end of time now i will take you all the way to Palestine

just a step cried the sad man take a look down at the madman theatre kings on silver wings fly beyond reason from the flight of the seagull come the spread claws of the eagle only fear breaks the silence as you all kneel prey for guidance
tread the road across the abyss take a look down at the madness on the streets of the city only specters pray for pity patient cues from the gallows sing the praises of the hallowed our machines feed the furnace if they take us they will burn us
will you still know who you are when you come down who you are
when the flames have their seasons will you hold on to your reasons loaded down with your talents can you fight well and keep you balance do you sleep with your dagger sheathed inside deep of it's scabbard hope and pray for a quick death as watch you take your last breath
will you still know who you are when you come down who you are

right now there's nothing stopping us from smashing this car into the wall except maybe the logic that crash would break every one of our bones & leave us breathless
standing cliff-side staring at the fall let's hold our hands & close our eyes inching one step forward let me go
into the great divide and leave them speechless stretch out my arms swandive
stretch out my arms wide swandive
into the great divide and leave them speechless stretch out my arms swandive
we'll never know until we dive

bring her home cuz she's not yours from my arms you stole i need a reason why you lied to me played your games on me i need a reason why you walked out on me to comfort me
fuck my wife for me tear my life away beat my children take my everything and let karma drag you down
likewise i'm not about to let you get away with this nothing comes easy nothing comes for free you took away a life that was meant for me i need to turn the tables to comfort me
kill my wife for me tear my life away beat my children take my everything and let your conscience drag you down
