The Cause of Death - Immortal Technique

Nemesis, my dearly neurotic Enemies though our face is the same Your greedy hands held my happiness hostage I will carry you to the grave Nemesis, this time I'll finish it Break me down over and over Blood for blood, I'll cut you out with the knife You cowardly left in my back Never again I'd rather die than keep you alive Do you believe in me now? Laugh as I lower you down No funeral, no condolences You shot our plot full of holes and nailed our twin casket closed I found my life in your cause of death Oh I know that you hate me, but need my protection Awful reflection of what's taken place Born out of trauma and lost in the drama I've been here the whole time to keep you safe You can try, you know that you need me Enemies, though we're one in the same Killed you off in the name of survival But I am not to blame Do you believe in me now? Laugh as you lower me down No funeral, no condolences, so say goodbye I shot our plot full of holes and nailed our twin casket closed You found your life in my cause of death Enmeshed in our design, judgments collide Break it up A cruel invention, despite good intentions The damage has been done, oh Liar, two-faced A cruel invention, despite good intentions, can we be forgiven? Is it too late for us now? Could history be rewound? Is there no chance to make amends? And as this story unfolds, my book began where yours closed A sign of life in your cause of death (I was your cause of death) No hope, no time, can't go back, can't rewind I still belong to you (I still belong to you) No hope, no time, can't go back, can't rewind You still belong to me You were my sign of life and I was your cause of death I was your cause of death I was your cause of death

I plead for men to hear This declaration from my soul I pray they turn their ears to true life Casting the anger of death aside The life of sacrifice met with such hostility Even to death, but raised up in victory How could this life bring so much pain? Day after day, after day It? s never over Until we shut our eyes for the very last time It? s never over Until the line flattens out Like death, the grave It waits, its anger is unrelenting Against all things, against all time and space Embrace the end You? ll think it? s over When you shut your eyes for the very last time You? ll think it? s over [Incomprehensible] Death scares me not Death scares me not Pleading for men to hear this declaration from my soul I pray they turn their itching ears Anger is near, death is waiting, the grave is calling Anger is near, death is waiting, the grave is calling

They don't really care about us They just want our body on the altar They tell you the things they offer They don't care, they don't care Don't let their body language fool you They're talking to the devil on the corner They feed off our pain They don't care, they don't care I can feel my skin crawl off of my very bones When they tell you your chances are a million to one You're done for Is it you to decide my price tag doesn't match yours? No matter all the riches you hoard You can't afford my soul My body was burning under your coals It's your words I hate the most Jerusalem bells are ringing I feel my sin, I'm sinking What's the plan? We go back What's ahead? Don't ask that You want love, but hold back All the shame, heart attack Change our clothes for the weather No, we don't fuck with each other And effervescent, your soul But all the liquid turned cold What's the plan? We go back What's ahead? Don't ask that You want love, but hold back All the shame, heart attack Change our clothes for the weather No, we don't fuck with each other And effervescent, your soul But all the liquid turned cold
