Lyrics As Blood Runs Black

As Blood Runs Black

Legacy

This procession goes on and on

Disillusion is getting the best of me, but still I try

And I try – with all that I have only to find that

I’m digging my own grave now

Where I finally sleep under the legacy of

The undying obsolete

This won’t be the end and I will change this position

Where I have no control

And turn the tables back

Only rats flee a sinking ship

Men of honor stay aboard

To mend broken boards and sail on

Obtain the vision that they seek

Manifesting their own prophecies

Leave the weak in the wake of perpetual regret

We’ll rebuild and we will prevail – the wait is over

Relief from this pain comes from learning to

Start all over again

We’ll rebuild and prevail

And we will silence all those

Silence those who oppose

And we will silence

Silence those, silence those who oppose

While you sit and stare at the rising sun

Never knowing what lies beyond the horizon

You’re digging your own grave now

Buried in unending darkness

You choose to wait and live your life

In fear of the challenge

Never to witness daylight again
