From The Dust, To The Grave

I never thought that it would ever come down to this

Will you come and take this pain from me or have you come to set me free?

And I was hoping you would be the one who came to save me

Will you run and turn your back on me or have you come to be the one who sets me free?

So this is it

The world has finally won, it's finally brought me to my knees

How could I forget that it's the fear that they seek

And they feast on the weak

And they beg and they scream for a chance of relief

For one moment of speech.

Look at me, I'm not the man I used to be

Look in my eyes, what do you see?

Comfort in familiar surroundings

Look at me, I'm not the man I used to be

If these walls could talk maybe you'd see

I'm not the man I used to be.

So bury your head with thoughts of regret

And you'll never expect water rising higher, making circles around your neck

And they feast on the weak

And they beg and they scream for a chance of relief

For one moment of speech

Will you take this pain from me? Will you take everything?

Do you really think you're ready for what's ahead?

I never thought that it would ever come down to this

Set me free! Set me free!

And I was hoping you would be the one who came to save me

Will you run and turn your back on me or have you come to be the one who sets me free?

I got these vampires leaving the city streets scarred

For as long as I remember never seen no stars

And like trapped behind bars never seemed so hard

To simply let out and be what's within our hearts

And I tried so damn hard to find the words to describe how I feel inside

So for the last time my last regret

My last words, my breath

Follows me to the gallows beneath.
