Altered Eyes

(album: Lifeblood - 2021)

You're calling out
Paralyzed from the neck down
I hear your screams but I cannot break free
Cut off my limbs, tear my eyes out
Imprison me in this realm
This is my eternal hell

I'll never be the same
Imprisoned by the brand they gave to me
I can't sleep, I can't eat
Endless torment, endless pain
These demons they break me down
Left devoid of sanity
Hate is the answer that I've found

Relinquish fear
Or you will not move on
Retribution is near
I can feel it setting in
I can feel it setting in

Relinquish fear
Or you will not
Or you will not move on
Relinquish fear
But you must not forget where you came from

You're calling out
Paralyzed from the neck down
I hear your screams but I cannot break free
Cut off my limbs, tear my eyes out
Imprison me in this realm
This is my eternal hell

The abyss
The deepest depths
I have felt and I have witnessed the darkest shade of black
(Of black)

The acquisition is complete
(Complete)
Recovery is now an impossibility
This is not where we're meant to be
(To be)
This is not where we're meant to be
Where we're meant to be

You're calling out
Paralyzed from the neck down
I hear your screams but I cannot break free
Cut off my limbs, tear my eyes out
Imprison me in this realm
This is my eternal hell

This is my eternal hell
I can no longer recognize myself
This is my eternal hell
This is not where I'm meant to be

I'd rather fight for my life
I'd rather fight for my life than be living it
(Than be living it)
I'd rather fight for my life than be living it
A red river of death
A chosen destiny
A lover's altered eyes to fulfill the prophecy

Innocence buried within this child
She's locked away all the terror
Locked away all the horror
Now is the time to relinquish fear
Locked away all the terror
Locked away the horror
Now is the time to relinquish fear
