Lyrics for Deadlight

Greed in a cage obsolete Paining colors of old Victims of culture unfold The world sighs once more Look at us, our eyes are dead A gaze of incentives mislead A deadlight, a whisper Unearth your face in the mirror My hope soon to be over Take me and lock me in Throw away the key I'm beyond all help so kill me Bleed in this cage of deceit Then die in the cold This is the pain you withhold When the world sighs once more A treacherous spawn here fester Holding the future hostage And dancing restlessly And bare with the phantom of time Flies swarm as mouths open And dead words are spoken This room has a foul smell There's blood on the walls And I need to break out Look at us, our eyes are dead A gaze of incentives mislead A deadlight, a whisper Unearth your face in the mirror My hope soon to be over Take me and lock me in Throw away the key I'm beyond all help so kill me A screaming silence Hushed beneath the sky Silence thrashing the firmament
