As Daylight Dies lyrics

As I live and breathe
I'm watching, watching the world die
We greet this with apathy no longer

Consumed by self
We walk through each day
With no mind to deprivation and moral decay

We must destroy and rebuild
We must destroy and rebuild
For the sake of all, it starts with one
With one

As I live and breathe
I'm watching, watching the world die
We greet this with apathy no longer

We watch the degradation of the civilization
The rise and fall of all we are
Stands here before us

This place is evil
We stare in insult
This world is vile
We are the answer

How long until we die?
Die from the inside out
How much is enough for us to see the light?
How much blood must be shed?

Come past the lies
We cannot be so blind
Hear their cries
The wait 'til daylight dies
Daylight dies

Time and time again
I stand at the crossroad
Where the weight of my burden
Eclipses my resolve
This broken path I've chosen
I walk it alone
Though I feel forgotten
You've carved my name in stone

In these desperate times
This I plead
When all else fails
Remember me

This is daily crucifixion
And these rusted nails leave scars
My jagged crown is on my side
Because it never fell

As time goes by
Nothing has changed
I wont stand and watch
You wither away

After all this time
I stand by you
Through all of the years
I've been with you

Through pain and affliction
With every addiction
I will never let you down

I will never disown!
Never surrender
You and I are one

Through the eye
Of the storm
You are never alone
Even through, the shadows
You are never alone

The fires burn through me
Are only stench of you
Don't put aside
The time slips by
Are only cult of you

I give my word to stand the test of time
No more wasted days
The past must bury

The line is drawn
I pledge my devotion
There is no turning back
This heart is yours
I sacrifice for you (for you)

This is immortal

The fires burn through me
Are only stench of you
Yea

I watched you walk away
Helpless, with nothing to say
I strain my eyes
Hoping to see you again

This is my curse (the longing)
This is my curse (time)
This is my curse (the yearning)
This is my curse

There is love burning to find you
Will you wait for me?
Will you be here?

Your silence haunts me
But still I hunger for you

This is my curse (the wanting)
This is my curse (time)

Their cries are blown away with the wind
How passive can we before humanity is lost?
Turning our backs on those who need love
We must not rest while healing is needed

Tear down the veil
That bars your heart from feeling this
Dedicate yourself
Give your souls to compassion

With open arms embrace this heart
With open eyes behold the truth
Embrace this life

So little time is left

Who knows how long I've been lost in the dark?
Followed closely by the footsteps of my failures.
What can I do to alter my perception of the way and the truth?

Let this burden drift away.

Who knows how long the void has swallowed me?
I only wish for nothing more than peace to find me.
How can this be? We've come so far
To let the weight destroy our grand design

Let this burden drift away.

Imprisoned, inside this mind
Hiding behind the empty smiles
So simple (delinquish)
Isn't much made
Crawling back into the dark

Running, always running, into the distance
Stop me before I bleed, again
The echos of my voice
Follow me down
The shadows I cast
Follow me down

Deeper I'm falling
Into the arms of sorrow
Building descending
Into the arms of sorrow

There must be serenity

We will not die this way, in unification
They cannot break these chains of faith
Let them do their worst (let them do their worst)

We will not die this way (this is absolution)
Death claims us no more (no more)
Do not grief, end the suffering
We will live, were eternal

Will you take the stand among the dead?
Bury your fear, and hold fast to life

We will not die this way (this is absolution)

Go!
Forever falling, Into oblivion
The darkness crawls forward
It engulfs, my will to live
Fear is failure
And this is my motivation

Take back what was stolen
Reclaim all that's lost
With virtue, I will rise up from the ruins

C'mon!
Through adversity, there is redemption
With passion, fighting
I am unbroken
Through adversity, there is redemption
With passion, fighting
I am, unbroken!!
