In Vein

(album: The Haunted - 1998)

You and many are one alone
You seek through the heavens and under the stone
The words that I speak still left untold
For who's there to listen when silence is gold

I come from a place where no one goes
You know that
I won't set eyes on another dawn
One last hit...

Seeing and hearing, breathing and being
Doubting and staggering I fail to believe
The edges are torn my life ripped to pieces
Shame, pain... now I leave it

I come from a place where no one goes
You know that
I won't set eyes on another dawn
Fuck if I care...

Lay me down one last time
Caress the blade in my hand

If I shed my blood in vain
Could I rest forever?
Should I lay my soul to waste?
No one lives forever...

A candle it flickers before my eyes
I feel so at ease as I start to realize
No more frustration as the thought frees my mind
I blow out the candle, one last good bye...

I come from a place where no one goes
You know that
I won't set eyes on another dawn
Life slips away...

If I shed my blood in vain
Could I rest forever?
Should I lay my soul to waste?
No one lives forever...
