Iron Tide
Echoes of Despair: Against Everyone's Iron Tide Revealed
Lyrics
I hang my head
I feel a sense of shame or defeat
And all the angels wept
There is sorrow and mourning among celestial beings
At the impeding weight
Weighed down by the imminent burden
Of being marked for death
Facing the consequence of being targeted for death
I've lost all feeling
I have become emotionally numb
As I float to the depths
Drifting into profound depths
Riding on wings of conviction
Moving forward with strong beliefs but devoid of a soul
With no soul in my chest
An emptiness or lack of vitality in my chest
I tried
I attempted
I tried to no avail
Despite my efforts, I achieved nothing
The apparitions let me know i failed
Apparitions or visions indicate my failure
The reaper stands upon my back
The symbol of death stands close to me
I try to shake him
I try to escape, but it's futile
He does nothing but laugh
Death mocks my attempts
One life for another, he said
Trading one life for another, according to death
He dangled souls of my brothers instead
Souls of my brothers are used as bargaining tools
I cannot see any other way out
Feeling trapped with no alternative
I fight for breathe as the light flickers out
Struggling for breath as life fades away
I can't justify this
Unable to morally support or defend this
Harboring unwillingness to survive
Refusing to embrace the will to survive
I can't justify this
Unable to morally support or defend this
Belittling the essence
Underestimating the value or core of my existence
Of my life
Rejecting the significance of my life
I wont justify this
Refusing to morally support or defend this
Every second given
Each passing moment is disregarded
Passed us by
Time elapses without notice
I wont justify this
Refusing to morally support or defend this
Everything I'm given
Everything given to me comes with a cost
Has a price
Every gift or opportunity has a price
I'm falling faster
Descending rapidly
Now that the pillars of hope are gone
With the foundation of hope destroyed
The grateful bastard
A person who is thankful but perhaps undeserving
How could I let this go on so long
Regret for allowing a situation to persist
The sea is burning
The ocean is ablaze
And there is no land in sight
No visible solution or salvation
The gears of life keep turning
The mechanisms of life continue relentlessly
Crushing all who oppose it's might
Overpowering those who resist its force
My enemies have no fucking faces
Enemies are faceless but omnipresent
And still I see them everywhere I go
Constantly haunted by unseen adversaries
I try to scream to figure out what the pace is
Attempting to express frustration, but it's futile
It doesn't matter from the depths below
No matter how hard I try, it doesn't change
With every breathe, I gain strength to get up again
Gaining strength with each breath to rise again
Every day will bring sacrifice
Every day involves significant sacrifice
I know its pointless to rely on the came and went
Recognizing the futility of relying on the past
I break the surface
Breaking through difficulties and resurfacing
I'm getting older
Acknowledging the passage of time and aging
God I gave it all I got
Expressing the complete dedication and effort given
