Lyrics
Underneath a darkened sky
Expressing a somber atmosphere under a dark sky.
Consumed by fears
Overwhelmed by fears and anxieties.
This world dies
Declaring the demise of the world.
So deep into sorrow
Sinking into deep sorrow and despair.
Our lives - a pointless decay
Describing life as a purposeless decay.
Forced with ideals and values built out of lies
Highlighting the imposition of false ideals and values.
Corrupted in our own belief
Acknowledging corruption within one's own beliefs.
There's always a choice to run and hide
Emphasizing the choice to escape and avoid challenges.
Be a dead man alive
Opting for a life that is like being alive but emotionally dead.
There's always a choice to fear
Presenting the option to succumb to fear.
And die in the echoes of time
Facing the consequence of dying in the passage of time.
This is my sacrifice
Referring to personal sacrifice.
This is my bleeding
Expressing emotional pain and vulnerability.
To prove I'm still alive
Stating the sacrifice is a demonstration of being alive.
To keep myself
Asserting the importance of self-preservation.
I will not carry the dead man's eyes
Rejecting the burden of seeing the world through a pessimistic lens.
The end is beginning
Indicating a new beginning in the face of an ending.
We must replant all the seeds
Advocating for rebuilding and nurturing positive aspects.
In our wasteland of sorrow we must burn our grief
Recognizing a need to confront and overcome grief.
To lighten the path to new creed
Using hardship to illuminate the path to a new belief system.
There's always a choice to crawl or fly
Presenting the choice between perseverance and surrender.
It's for us to decide
Stressing the responsibility to make that choice.
To stand through the storm or kneel
Choosing to endure challenges rather than submit.
I will not let go the fight
Committing to not relinquishing the struggle.
So afraid to fail
Expressing fear of failure and making mistakes.
So afraid to be wrong
Acknowledging the avoidance of being wrong.
We pass through this life forgetting
Realizing the tendency to forget the purpose of life.
It's all for us to decide
Reiterating the significance of personal choices.
Fate
Acknowledging fate as a consequence of decisions.
It's all for us to decide
Reemphasizing the impact of personal decisions on fate.
And this is my choice to try and fly
Choosing to take a risk and strive for improvement.
Even if I fall
Willing to face potential failure while pursuing goals.
I'll know I've not fallen to fear
Affirming that even failure is preferable to succumbing to fear.
Looking through dead man's eyes
Resisting the temptation to view the world negatively.
I'll not fade away
Determined to leave a lasting impact and not be forgotten.
Afraid to dare
Overcoming the fear of taking risks and challenging oneself.
I'll not pass through this life
Refusing to pass through life without active participation.
Looking through a dead man's eyes
Rejecting a passive, pessimistic outlook on life.
Looking through dead man's eyes
Refusing to adopt a cynical perspective on life.
