The Haunted - The Flood download song

Lyrics

Will you ever look past your self-sufficient illusions?
The structure’s true foundations rest within you
The price we pay for sheer indifference
Surrendered self-discount spare parts
You give up your rights for your limitations
And abandon all hope
One step further down the line
As the flood begins to rise
You’re on your knees, faking ambition
Now close your eyes and bleed
I know there are things from the past
That should never be brought back
The ghosts of stale ideals and burning bridges
In simplified, inane depictions of a different world
A lie to serve the fold and the forces in them
As you give up your rights for your limitations
And lay down your arms
One step further down the line
As the flood begins to rise
You’re on your knees, faking ambitions
Now close your eyes…
In the darkest corner of my mind
I see a boy with a crooked smile
With a crown made of tinsel and glass beads
On a wire
Singing a song out of time
Now, if you believe, I’ll bleed for you…
And if I bleed, so could you
Close your eyes and pretend it’ll go away
But you know that you’ve got nothing to lose
