Lyrics

Origin

[Verse 1]

We stand upon a travesty, at the mouth of the gods

Holding our hands out for affirmation

Peering over the edge with our back to the wind

We're screaming out for release into the emptiness

Swept away beneath the undertow

Laid to waste by our mistakes

[Verse 2]

Conspiring, we blur the line

Between dependence and blind addiction

Permeating everyday monotony

Left to bear a crutch of complacency

I don't fuck with fate

Everything is crashing around me

But I don't feel pain

I've given up

[Pre-Chorus]

Now we have finally reached the reckoning

So now I wait for the day that we give up our place

Only the void remains

Welcome to eternity

[Chorus]

All hope swept out of my hands

There's nothing you can take from me

No future waits

An origin erased

[Verse 3]

Bottled up and useless, broken and insatiable

Cover up our weakness, existence unsustainable

Staring down devastation, I will welcome the end

If only for the chance to feel again

I curse this Earth for my soul is tired

Burning brighter, burning brighter, burning brighter on the fire

Curse this Earth, my soul is tired

Burning brighter, burning brighter, burning brighter on the fire

[Pre-Chorus]

Now we have finally reached the reckoning

So now I wait for the day that we give up our place

Only the void remains

Welcome to eternity

[Chorus]

All hope swept out of my hands

There's nothing you can take from me

No future waits

An origin erased

[Outro]

We're dying in the storm

While our world lays burning

Beneath the embers, we choke

We're nothing but a memory

A bed of atrophy

A resting place

And though the rain grows heavy

Our tears will never dull the flames
