The Burden Of Our Failures

(album: Where Only Gods May Tread - 2020)

Consumed in a shadow, the one that I've created
From the guilt and sorrow, I have unrivalled hatred
An ugly life has formed, in the stagnant abyss
And you realize time won't heal this

Looking into the void but the reflection is black
Where the past is a blade that stabs you in the back
You're the fucking maggot, two heads fought for the prey
I've spoiled those sacred grounds, deceit has come your way

I see the fires burning red
A stomach filled with empty dread
Questions answered more are raised
I've not come out of this unscathed

Defeated by the failure, a mind that never stops
Sick of wasting days staring at a broken clock
Trying to shed old skin, convinced that's what I seek
Life repeats itself and shows my grasp is weak

Looking into the void, but the reflection is black
Where the past is a blade, that stabs you in the back
You're the fucking maggot, two heads, one prey
Sacred ground is spoiled, deceit has come your way

I see the fires burning red
A stomach filled with empty dread
Questions answered more are raised
I've not come out of this unscathed

Don't dwell on your own, or let your life turn cold
It swallows you whole, the darkness claims your soul

And life is cold

This pressure can't be lifted, no room I'm left constricted
A heavy burden, the weight of the world
A wasted breath, my words unheard

A heavy burden, the weight of the world
My wasted breath, the words go unheard

The burden of our failures

A heavy burden, the weight of the world
