The Defiant Lyrics

Album: Ruins

Crawl through knives to reach the brink

It hurt like hell but here I am

Put down these torches

From now on everything turns black

Drag myself all the way down

To the bottom of this charade

When you dive long enough

You shall witness the end of me

Seasons change

But after this I will never

Symbol of all long-lost hope

Buried inside a dying dream

Trapped within my shell

Genealogy of bad decisions

Destroying all I touch

Bring the whole world down with me!

You cowards never had the guts

To turn your back, to reject it all

To cripple yourself and be happy to crawl

Now lay your eyes on me

Revel as I take this step

I shall prove my worthless point

With this triumph in misanthropy

Seasons change

But after this I will never

Symbol of all long-lost hope

Buried inside a dying dream

Trapped within my shell

Genealogy of bad decisions

Destroying all I touch

Bring the whole world down with me

Oh!

Bring the whole world down

And witness the end of me

Bring the whole world down!

Let it crumble all over

Seasons change

But after this I will never

Symbol of all long-lost hope

Buried inside a dying dream

Trapped within my shell

Genealogy of bad decisions

Destroying all I touch

Bring the whole world down with me!

Bring the whole world down with me!

“The rivers, lakes and ocean, all stood still

And nothing stirr’d within their silent depths”

[From "Darkness" - Lord Byron]
