A Vessel Of Times Past

Calling all soldiers

This is a call

(To arm yourselves)

Sever all your ties

And become the hero

They all know you are

(You'll earn your scars)

Tell me what's worse?

Losing myself to this

Or losing you, baby.

These sleepless nights

Spent in cold remorse

Lead me, back to your embrace

(Oh so unwillingly)

I'm left with only

The memories

That were too few

And far between

And now the soldier fights

And now the soldier dreams

Oh sweet desolation

Look and see what you've

Done to me

Oh sweet desolation

Kiss me, kill me

Set me free.

And I've lost sight

Through my own hesitation

I've told the world

Who's to blame

And it's you.

No matter what you say

You're not the same

You'll never own up to your faults

(Your greed will be your downfall)

Oh sweet desolation

Look and see what you've

Done to me

Oh sweet desolation

Kiss me, Kill me

Set me free

Stand tall and take your aim (Hold)

Thy soldiers will, be done (Fast)

Our war is not the same (Your guns)

This battle can't be won

You seem to think

That every word that you've spoken to me

I felt was true

You'll soon learn I won't

Forgive and forget you

Baby,

You told me

I was your soldier (Soldier, Soldier)

But all the lies

You made me believe,

Now I see your deception.

I thought I could be

Your knight in shining armor

You pulled the trigger

(I held it down)

My life was in your hands

Welcome to eternity
