I Signed My Own Death Warrant

(album: Black Sheep - 2014)

They had no one but themselves
To get them through the dark:
The fury of a fire burning
Deep within their hearts
Move forward, never looking back
What they see is what they want to see
Until they watch their world fade to black

Abandon ship. Make your escape
A little hope can go an awful long way

If they were nervous or afraid
You'd never, ever know
Every face with bloodied lips
Eyes made of stone

Always truer to themselves than to anyone
Or anything else
But they know there's something else

The battle's begun
It still rages on. This will never end
Yet somehow I know I will conquer them

They were savage, they were armed
With swords born in flame
The souls they reached were empty, hollow
Lives consumed by pain
I never thought they'd make it here
But I can feel the footsteps, the breath on my neck
I'm burning alive. I'm burnt alive by fear

Abandon ship. Make your escape
A little hope can go an awful long way

Am I everything I wanted to be?
An empty shell, a mask of vanity
There's so much more than what the eyes can see
Much more than what we'd want to believe

But I believe in so much more

The battle's begun
It still rages on. This will never end
Yet somehow I know I will conquer them
