lyrics

"The Damned"

Indecision is the breeder of death.
I should've died beside the damned soul I wed.
But in betrayal, as our guilt was undone,
She chose to lie to let me go to hell on my own.

Ever wonder what it might be like to die?
Wait for your time!

Curse my bones to flames.
You drag me here by name.

But I never …
I never Wanted to die
In shame,
Lord and feel the same pain.

Is it just to pay a sin back with sin?
I set my life to die before I damned it again.
But in betrayal her true nature unfolds.
I chose to kill her to keep her from living alone.

Left to suffer by the tragedy of your crime.
There's no place to hide.
Ever wonder what it means to be alive?
Wait for your time!

Filth in acting reign.
I break free from these chains.

But I never …
I never wanted to die
In shame,
Afraid
Of all the demons buried with my
Grave.
Enslaved
Only to feel the same pain.

Burn the err of my faith in my open eyes;
Shown to regret my former word.
Like in a cage of moral fiber,
I'm accursed to endure all this pain,
So vial, I would kill for the fountain world.
Knock in the door and take me higher.
Why does death want to keep me in this place,
When my life drove me over the line?

Here, somehow, I'm Cain.
Before we shared the blame.
