A Matter of Time [Single Edit]

[Intro]

(I should have seen the signs)

(It was only just a matter of time)

[Verse 1]

Standing in ruins blinded by another meteor

I never even saw it coming down just like all the ones before

The irony of the conveniency of things made up in your head

Inflate, fixate while you suffocate every promise that you’ve ever made

[Pre-Chorus A]

The saddest tale

I’ll never tell

Will echo through

The halls of Hеll

[Pre-Chorus B]

An eon lost

The countless cost

Need your nеxt victim to malign

It was only just a matter of time

[Chorus]

I’ve watched you do unto others

As you’ve imagined they’ve done to you

And your pride has come before the fall and your downfall is believing all

Your fantasies are true

I should have heard the warnings

I should have seen the signs

As you did unto them you’d do to me, your true nature would show eventually

It was just a matter of time, a matter of time

[Verse 2]

The ring of empty words, a string of dead intentions

Moments strewn across a timeline, you’ve deleted every one

I watched you over years make a career of making enemies

I was so dumb to think you wouldn’t be the one to turn your weapon against me

[Pre-Chorus A]

The saddest tale

I’ll never tell

Will echo through

The halls of Hell

[Pre-Chorus B]

An eon lost

The countless cost

Need your next victim to malign

It was only just a matter of time

[Chorus]

I’ve watched you do unto others

As you’ve imagined they’ve done to you

And your pride has come before the fall and your downfall is believing all

Your fantasies are true

I should have heard the warnings

I should have seen the signs

As you did unto them you’d do to me, your true nature would show eventually

It was just a matter of time, a matter of time!

[Outro]

(It was only just a matter of time)

(Time, time, ...)
