Lyrics
So long have I tried to stand aside
Expressing a prolonged effort to stay on the sidelines or remain neutral.
A noble 'cause, bread of life for all mankind
Referring to a noble cause that provides sustenance for all people.
You've turned your back on me
Addressing a betrayal or abandonment, someone turning away.
You've chosen death over being free
Choosing death instead of embracing freedom.
Foolish man you can't back down from your pride
Highlighting the inability to retreat due to pride.
It's over, you have taken my all
Declaring the end, having lost everything.
Six eyes, three necks, broken knees, muted beauty
Describing physical damage, possibly symbolizing suffering.
Ripped from the breast, slit ear to ear
Depicting violence and harm, with a vivid description of wounds.
A candle lit for those already gone
Mentioning a symbolic candle for those who have passed away.
There is no chance of coming back
Asserting the irreversibility of a situation, no chance of return.
Foolish man you can't back down from your pride
Reiterating the difficulty of stepping back due to pride.
The noose is tied, the hot wind blasts your saddened frown
Describing a completed act of self-harm, possibly suicide.
I give my body to the sea
Offering one's body to the sea, possibly signifying surrender.
May the waves crash over me
Wishing for the overwhelming force of the sea to consume.
Privation of all I saw as need
Rejecting material desires or perceived necessities.
Wretched ingrates, you cannot believe
Expressing disappointment or contempt for ungrateful individuals.
Cut out, cut off, it burns my lungs
Describing physical pain and struggle, possibly in a fight.
I try to fight but my body stops
Attempting to resist but facing physical limitations.
It's over, body thrown on the beach
Announcing the conclusion with the body discarded on the beach.
Beaten down, skin stripped clean
Depicting further physical harm, the skin being stripped away.
With you, become you, bloodthirsty lust for the innocent
Describing a transformation into a bloodthirsty and lustful state.
Forced to the ranks of evil's grudge
Being compelled into association with the malicious intentions of others.
I can't leave now, I am you
Expressing a sense of entrapment or inability to break free from a destructive identity.
