Departed - As I Lay Dying

What is this world? What is it we've created? In the burdens of this life, I cannot rest This world means nothing Everything we hold will pass away With a void Of completion comfort will ever fade I long for this wind to cease Everything we hold will pass away Everything we hold will pass away I long for this wind to cease We once held Undying devotion Dead to our thoughts Undefined like our love Everything we hold Will pass away Everything we hold will pass away

Did you ever see me Or could you even see at all I looked at your cold white face So still, so empty Yet I knew you were at rest I knew you were at rest Much more comforted Than I What else could I find to replace who you were It was the carefree Unrestricted love that you never meant to give You never had the choice You never meant to give You never had the choice It was your innocence It was part of who you were What else could I find to replace who you were It was the carefree Unrestricted love that you never meant to give You never had the choice You never meant to give You never had the choice It was your innocence It was part of who you were It was your innocence It was the comfort of a friend It was your innocence It was part of who you were It was your innocence It was the comfort of a friend

Propaganda death ensemble, burial to be Corpse rotting through the night in blood laced misery Scorched earth the policy, the reason for the siege The pendulum it shaves the blade, strafing air blood raid Infiltration push reserves, encircle the front lines Supreme art of strategy, playing on their minds Bombard till submission, take all to their graves Indication of triumph, the numbers that are dead Sport the war War support The sport is war, total war When victory's will be massacre Final swing is not a drill It's how many people I can kill Sport the war War support The sport is war, total war When victory's a massacre Final swing is not a drill It's how many people I can kill Be dead, fiend from above When darkness falls Descend onto my sights Your fallen walls Spearhead break through the lines Flanked all around Soldiers of attrition Forward their ground Strait regime, prophetic age Old in its time Flowing veins run on through Deep in the Rhine Center of the web All battles scored What is a war crime? (Era forever more) War! Propaganda war ensemble, burial to be Bones shining by the night in blood laced misery Campaign of elimination, twisted psychology When victory is to survive and death is defeat Sport the war War support The sport is war, total war When the end is a slaughter The final swing is not a drill It's how many people I can kill

The lies, the weight Deceit, decay The lies, the weight It's clear I lost my way Deceit, decay Decomposing I thought I was an architect, but I was just moving dirt Stacking mud over malice covered up, forming nothing but a pile of hurt I hadn't been building (building) The time was spent digging (digging) Boring the barriers that kept others away (away) The deeper the walls, the less anyone could hear (hear me fall) So now I know there is no one else to blame Buried alive inside of my own grave And there's no one else to blame Buried alive inside of my own grave Inside of my own grave Beneath my lies Delusional enough to think I'd designed something great Like a giant headstone inscribed to describe my shameful fate I hadn't been building (building) The time was spent digging (digging) An ugly truth from which there was no way to escape (escape) Nowhere left to hide and then finally forced to face what I'd become Buried alive inside of my own grave (my grave) And there's no one else to blame Buried alive inside of my own grave (my grave) What I'd become Buried alive inside of my own grave Beneath my pride, crushing me Beneath my lies, collapsing But we are still alive We are still alive Buried alive inside of my own grave And there's no one else to blame Buried alive inside of my own grave My own grave Buried alive inside of my own grave And there's no one else to blame The lies and the weight, I know I lost my way (my way) What I'd become Buried alive inside of my own grave (my grave) And there's no one else to blame Buried alive, buried alive Finally forced to face what I'd become What I'd become in my own grave Buried in my own grave alive

This world was never worthy But how can I call it unfaithful Every promise was fulfilled As decay crawled from its throat Like the dead rising from an open grave Like the dead rising From an open grave Lips of splendor Tongue of deceit All dying now As our fragile wrists hold only waste Like those gasping for their last breath We cannot hide There's nothing left Like those gasping for their last breath We cannot hide There's nothing left Nothing left Nothing left (There's nothing left) Nothing left If all my sorrow has led me here Then I would cry all of my tears To have this chance, to have this chance again To have this chance, to have this chance And know there's more than this And know there's more than you Like those gasping for their last breath We cannot hide There's nothing left Like those gasping for their last breath We cannot hide There's nothing left
