lyrics

Death follows me, wherever I go
look hard enough and you will see that black cloak flow
birds and flowers wither where I step
listen closely, you can hear him breathing down my neck
a family in ruin, only one left to go
stumble down that road alone
feel the earth begin to stir
it knows its about to swallow
me
whole

I am a product of fate
Its a well known fact, I embody decay
none hold my hand whilst I hang
suspended by my own weight
all I ask is you dont save me
please dont save me

The grains of time slip through my fingers
day after day the sun grows dimmer
drag my feet along the road
with miles to go, I go alone
with miles to go, I am dragged alone
with worn skin down to the bone
I cheated death once
I offered her eyes
the debt is claimed
I payed with my life
I climbed a rope into the sky
now here I hang
my head suspended in perpetual shame
a leash for a beast once untamed

A sense of control, is what i've been chasing
for all of my life, for all of my life
now here he stands
with the rope in hand
He finds a blank piece of the family wall
and etches his name like his father before
death follows me wherever I go
look hard enough you'll see that black cloak flow

With the knot above my neck
the rope snaps, not even death will take me back
I can not live, I can not die
no control, again deprived

Alone
