The Human Abstract - A Violent Strike

Текст песни

…And out of the great beyond came a pitch black multitude
Here to choose the weakest of our race
Hellhounds with the Devil’s own face
Confused a violent strike with something finally here to guide the way
Our faith in order was a mistake
Fearful and divine, and devoid of grace
They try to run, but there’s no escape
And the light decayed on that final day, fear crept up inside
Night became something more than a trade, a weakness that we all can share
Death’s glow in the wind, this is the end
And I watched as a spiral took shape across the sky
It was like a call from the other side
What will you do now? The fires of hell are raining down
Deep inside you’re starting to shake, and are slowly losing ground
Everyone is dead. Your bravery is useless
Your bravery is useless
And I watched as a spiral took shape across the sky
It was like a call from the other side, and there I cried
Out of control and paralyzed, as everything I once was died
No way I’d be dying honorably, if they came and took my life now
No way I’d be dying honorably
Regrets in tow, didn’t even stand a chance
So hear me, the final lines have been drawn
To build again, to fall again, it’s worn me down to the last straw
I held on so long to my home, until a tempest came
She came in and swept it away
Where’s your bravery?
What will bravery do for you now?
