The Last Firstborn

[Verse 1]

Oh, man, I can't believe that you did what they said you did

And to this day I've still gotta say that in my mind I question it

I wish I knew what you had meant before you went

And left me wondering to just an echo of your voice

(Listen)

(Listen)

(Listen)

(Listen)

[Verse 2]

Now I wait to take my turn to bleed like a kid playing with a razor blade

And wonder if I have the balls at all or if I'm gonna be afraid

Where are you? What do you think? 'Cause I'm not sure when knocking at Death's door

If I will be welcomed in or be left alone outside

[Pre-Chorus]

[Non-English chant]

[Chorus]

I hear the sound of a heart from the shadow in the dark

Waiting for the poison to hit its mark (Listen, my son)

I see the darkness surround the shape on the ground

The killer straight up and a body face down (Firstborn, last one)

I hear the din of the screams, sorrow in streams

The smell of farewell and gasoline (Listen, my son)

I see a heart set free and my legacy

Hear a voice from a shadow that is beckoning me (Firstborn, last one)

[Verse 3]

I guess there comes a point when you think to yourself

"This isn't worth it, it isn't worth it"

And now I feel what you felt, and now I feel what you felt inside, brother

And now I feel what you felt: "This isn't worth it, it isn't worth it"

(Listen)

(My son)

(Firstborn, last one)

[Pre-Chorus]

[Non-English chant]

[Chorus]

I hear the sound of a heart from the shadow in the dark

Waiting for the poison to hit its mark (Listen, my son)

I see the darkness surround the shape on the ground

The killer straight up and a body face down (Firstborn, last one)

I hear the din of the screams, sorrow in streams

The smell of farewell and gasoline (Listen, my son)

I see a heart set free and my legacy

Hear a voice from a shadow that is beckoning me (Firstborn, last one)

(Listen)

[Bridge 1]

I wish it didn't

I wish it didn't

I wish it didn't

I wish it didn't end this way

I wish it didn't

I wish it didn't

I wish it didn't

I wish it didn't end this way

I wish it didn't

I wish it didn't

I wish it didn't

I wish it didn't end this way

I wish it didn't

I wish it didn't

I wish it didn't

I wish it didn't end this way

I wish it didn't

I wish it didn't

I wish it didn't

I wish it didn't end this way

I wish it didn't

I wish it didn't

I wish it didn't

I wish it didn't end this way

[Verse 4]

Live a life in hell through a mortal shell, asphyxiating smell

For a crime, lifetime, imagination locked in a cell

And to the other firstborn I see the same scene that must play over in your mind

And now how much more I'm sure it's fucked with your head just like it's fucked up mine

[Bridge 2]

Listen

My son

Firstborn

Last one

The message you sent out to me

I cannot change what's meant to be

The message you sent out to me

I cannot change what's meant to be

(What am I supposed to do now?)

[Final Pre-Chorus]

[Non-English chant]

[Chorus]

I hear the sound of a heart from the shadow in the dark

Waiting for the poison to hit its mark

I see the darkness surround the shape on the ground

The killer straight up and a body face down

I hear the din of the screams, sorrow in streams

The smell of farewell and gasoline (Listen)

I see a heart set free and my legacy

Hear a voice from a shadow that is beckoning me (My son)

I hear the sound of a heart from the shadow in the dark

Waiting for the poison to hit its mark (Listen, my son)

I see the darkness surround the shape on the ground

The killer straight up and a body face down (Firstborn, last one)

I hear the din of the screams, sorrow in streams

The smell of farewell and gasoline (Listen, my son)

I see a heart set free and my legacy

Hear a voice from a shadow that is beckoning me (Firstborn, last one)

(Firstborn)

You are the last one (Firstborn)
