lyrics

I cannot go, I cannot face this death.
Why should I pay for those who have let themselves fall victim to their own demons?

Why do I fear this tribulation?
Are my hands clean of all bloodshed?
I feel I cannot purge these crimson stains.

For too long apathy has been my maiden.
I’ve covered my head at the prospect of facing death.
Eye for an eye, I will be their vengeance.
I will awake, this is my time; now you will answer to me

I can’t sit by while loved ones die.
These final words beneath my eyes.
It was reluctance that held the trigger.
All fate aside, I’ll steel my vigour.
A family's bond is never broken.
My rage enriched, through kindred stolen.

For too long apathy has been my maiden
I’ve covered my head at the prospect of facing death
Eye for an eye, I will be their vengeance
I will awake, this is my time; now you will answer to me.

I can no longer sit in silence.
As the world around me like a vice draws closed.

Father hear me.
I fight for thee.
Blood for blood shed
Brother in death

Your hand guide me.
Taken blindly.
Rage like a flood.
Brother in blood.
