Lyrics: Wavelengths connected the impulse to my ambition Cascade of sparks fueling this premonition I wanted it all to burn Hollow is home, Praying for death, struck with intuition Expired youth bound by prescripted visions enslaved imprisoned Follow me down this hole, we dwell below in this twisted game we play Flirting with annihilation, in the afterlife I reign How many days I’ve been stuck in my ways? I feel my sins weighing down on my shoulders Drawn to this death wish, commend me to hell Misguided down below under the devil’s spell Cast out, and forgotten in spite of my creator While I beg for mercy from a manipulator, fuck Abomination to this testament in faith, turned away from the gates No God will see your face You bastard son of mine, have you lost your fucking spine? Now that the worst is yet to come The throne of suffering reanimates the flame, abandonment and shame am I the one to blame? Defied his will, enslaved, I suffer I suffer here Misguided by agony For all we know, we’re lost in delusion Wandering aimlessly seeking truth through reason Blind to the light cast down to this wreckage Life through a window, on this throne of judgement No faith, just a means to manipulate Agony, that place that dwells inside of me Suffering alone, a prisoner of my own mind Can I redeem myself in the light of truth? Or could delusion be a friend of mine? Now that the worst is yet to come The throne of suffering reanimates the flame, abandonment and shame am I the one to blame? Defied his will, enslaved, I suffer I suffer here I suffer here I suffer here Suffocating alone Suspended in time Why can’t I see, how visions of grace are eluding I’ve screamed out your name Come and take me away They say I won’t be saved Have you abandoned me, God? How art thou forsaken my soul? Standing at the edge of hell take my life just to watch our God Swallow us whole Deserted child of eternity Tied down, held back by perceptions of light This sacred afterlife set ablaze Wavelengths connected the impulse to my ambition Cascade of sparks fueling this premonition I wanted it all to burn Hollow is home, Praying for death, struck with intuition Expired youth bound by prescripted visions enslaved imprisoned Follow me down this hole, we dwell below in this twisted game we play Flirting with annihilation, in the afterlife I reign How many days I’ve been stuck in my ways?
