lyrics

A new dawn rises
Brought signs of hope, signs of change
Things would be different
We would never stay this way
Fought off the cycle
Through rain and thunder we would fight
Our pathetic attempt
One chance to make this right

Leave me
Cast my body to the ocean
Give me one last chance to breathe
Sing your swan song
Swing your arms
Swing like axes to the sea

I cannot forget what you did
It's a constant reminder, a nightmare
Burnt into the back of my head
Thinking only of silence
Blocked out, nothing left to feel
But the dripping of my blood
From wounds that cannot heal

Leave me
Cast my body to the ocean
Give me one last chance to breathe
Sing your swan song
Swing your arms
Swing like axes to the sea

I tore a page out of the book
That said that this would never last
It drove the nail into the coffin
Held ghost echoes of the past
I felt the noose around my neck
Like the way we would embrace
I kicked the chair out, said goodbye
I can't forget your face

Darkness forever
All hope lost without light
Destined forever
To walk alone this endless night
Darkness forever
Dawn won't come, the sun is gone
Destined forever
To bear this burden all night long
