lyrics

I tried to turn the other cheek
When demons knocked me down
Every scar they left upon my face
Was another reason they found
How on earth could I accept my fate
If all that was in vain?
Is it combat or surrender
That will let me sustain?

I tried to bear another one’s burden
though my bones were made of paper
Inside my mind is numb
So may posterity pay for this later
Did you just forget what it takes?
All these nights it keeps me awake
When I’m stumbling close to the ravine
Who will catch me?

Cause I’m falling to pieces
Like a castle under siege
An abandoned survivor
Writing „Farewell“ on the streets
Drowning deeper and deeper now
Shipwrecked on the ocean ground
I’m stray and you conceal my home

A perished dog will never bite
But who will tend the flock
Looks like laying down my arms will mean
The battle's already lost
If this is annihilation and
I won't get out alive
Let us leave it to the chronicles
If they'll testify

So I break away from the bottom
Where my knees were stuck in squalor
An irresistible clarity
Is crawling up to my collar
While you're tearing me limb from limb
I will never ever give in
Drag my decapitated body from your guillotine
I'm falling to pieces
