Lyrics

A Blessing in Tragedy

A blessing in tragedy

Burning what's left in effigy

Wreckage, when there's nothing left

Wreckage, the birthright of regret

A place where truth can hide

A place where fallen egos can survive

A place where fear rusts through pride

A place where heroes go to die

Self delusion, self destruction

Falling so short of faith

An empty shell

A carcass left of greed

An empty shell

In the shade grows another weed

And you wear the scars well

Merciless liar

How many times till your shadow haunts you too?

Wreckage, when there's nothing left

Wreckage, the birthright of regret

A place where truth can hide

A place where fallen egos can survive

A place where fear rusts through pride

A place where heroes go to die

An empty shell

A carcass left of greed

An empty shell

In the shade grows another weed
