"Cheating Death"
A new dawn is breaking before me
The sky is blood red dripping fear
And gathering on the horizon
A death starved another year
Life, it brings us no mercy
As it beats down from above
Casting shadows in the darkness
Drowning salvation in blood
- Waves of sorrow come crashing over me -
I stand alone, a lost soul with no reprieve
The aura of blackness, a beginning, not an end
As I find myself cheating death again
There's an air of desperation
Clouding stagnant in my face
Overpowering my every breath
Wrapped up in a cold embrace
The dark, it brings me comfort
As the landscape disappears
The idols of pain are hidden
And dreams are placed upon a spear
- Chorus -
Running blindly as fast as I can
Headlong into the master plan
A dream of ages dying on the vine
Land of belief, it surely isn't mine
- Chorus -
A new dawn is breaking before me
The sky is blood red dripping fear
And gathering on the horizon
A death starved another year
