Heart of a Coward
Album • 2023
Take my soul, I've given everything Bury me deep in this place of death Fighting for borrowed time, just to watch the skies burn Erase my soul, bury me alive As the world collapses, just leave me here in my tomb As the flames encircle me, just leave me here to burn Obliteration, this place brings only death Asphyxiating in the wake of what's left Release me from this, just another body to discard Erase my soul, feed me to the flames I choke under the toxic sky, suffocating as my lungs collapse I choke under the toxic sky, destined to watch the future burn Take my soul, I've given everything Bury me deep in this place of death Fighting for borrowed time, just to watch the skies burn Erase my soul, bury me alive As the world collapses, just leave me here in my tomb As the flames encircle me, just leave me here to burn I've given everything, fighting for my life This place only brings death This place only brings death As the world collapses, just leave me here in my tomb As the flames encircle me, just leave me here to burn This place only brings death

Build your walls, to obscure the light Build your walls, capture me inside I am your prisoner Keep me captive from the world outside No turning back, there's no way out Lost in this obsession Twisted visions of infatuation No turning back, there's no way out This time, I'll give you everything Stay with me, close the space that is in between Together we fall Desire burns me to the core Under the spell of my captor This can only end one way Together we fall Captor No turning back, there's no way out Traumatic mechanisms keep me here Twisted visions of infatuation No turning back, there's no way out This time, I'll give you everything Stay with me, close the space that is in between Together we fall Together we fall

Left alone to sink into despair Succumb to the fear that's inside This constant torment has no end in sight Betrayal of the mind No end in sight No end in sight Failure by design No, no it's not enough My failures consume me No, it's not enough It's never enough Lost alone, sinking further down It's so familiar, there's no end in sight Betrayed by the haunting thoughts deep within Surrender to the fear It's failure by design No, no it's not enough My failures consume me No, it's not enough It's nevеr enough It's never еnough Give in and succumb to the fear There's no end to the torment inside Sink to the depths of your darkest despair A betrayal of the mind Surrender to failure In the depths of the darkest shadow The many outweigh the few Surrender to a fear immortal This constant torment has no end Betrayal from within

A familiar pain Digging into the wound again Carve at the flesh to try and understand again A familiar pain Tear me apart and devour the darkness that's inside Tear me apart, devour me and return to (A familiar pain) Devour me Uh, sharpen the blade Tear me limb from limb Cut out this vicious affliction Consume the darkness deep within Tear me apart and devour the darkness that's inside Tear me apart, devour me and return to Free me of this, consume my offering Take the knife and carve your pound of flesh Uh Devour me Tear me apart Tear me apart

Life slips away Life slips away Nothing is going to last forever, so find your meaning in the worthless Every breath is just another step closer, closer to the grave Nothing is going to last forever, so find your meaning in the worthless Every breath is just another step closer, closer to the grave Life slips away To time we are enslaved Life slips away We're destined to decay To time we arе enslaved Condemnеd to decay Nothing is going to last forever, so find your meaning in the worthless Every breath is just another step closer, closer to the grave Life slips away To time we are enslaved Life slips away We're destined to decay We're destined to decay Nothing is going to last forever, so find your meaning in the worthless Every breath is just another step closer, closer to the grave

The shadows pull me under Sinking into my memories Recurring visions that slowly decay The depths are so familiar The darkness dwells within I watch their faces slowly fade away I'm haunted by my shadow The darkness that resides in every single thing It draws me closer Pulls me deeper The ghost resides within Descend, my shadows swallow me I can't escape the vivid memory Tormented by their faces, I see them fade away Lost in the memory of a ghost I see within me Pull me deeper, into my memories Pull me deeper, into the depths I'm haunted by my shadow The darkness that resides in every single thing It draws me closer Pulls me deeper The ghost resides within Haunted by the shadow that's within Haunted by the pain that remains The shadow remains Pull me deeper, into my memories Pull me deeper, into the depths Pull me deeper, my shadows swallow me Pull me deeper, become the ghost

Whoever seeks this path Only illuminates the end As we descend into chaos Welcome the flame As the searing pain purges within A symbolic offering to our ruinous nature Destroy all living memory The ultimate sacrifice Is laid bare for all to see We are all cursed This path only descends We are all cursed Illuminate the end We are all cursed We are all cursed Separate the mind from the flesh A release from the mortal coil Descending deeper into our final manifestation Bound to eternal suffering Destroying all we know Our imminent decline is laid bare, for all to see As we destroy All living memory Our imminent decline is laid bare for all to see Descending further Let the flame consume Our imminent decline is laid bare We are all cursed This path only descends We are all cursed Illuminate the end We are all cursed This path only descends We are all cursed Illuminate the end We are all cursed

You've got to swallow the lie, if you want to believe Darkness hides in all that you see Burrowed inside your mind You know you'll never be free And in time, this will tear you apart The darkness devours your heart Lost in this vacant state Emotionless you circle the drain Just a mindless passenger Sleepwalking through existence, This is the end Your eyes are open, you can't see You blindly follow off the edge Your eyes are open, you can't see Just a mindlеss passenger You're trappеd inside, the perpetual lie Never be able to see with your eyes Just another mindless drone, walking the path of least resistance Hollow existence, I see right through You never escape from the grip around your throat Sleepwalking through existence, This is the end Your eyes are open, you can't see You blindly follow off the edge Your eyes are open, you can't see Just a mindless passenger Your eyes are open, you can't see You blindly follow off the edge Lost in a vacant state Blindly following off the edge Ever facing downwards No respite for the meek The path of least resistance

I can see the hatred deep in your eyes Rooted so firmly, on the ones you despise Dehumanise Consumed by the fear coursing through your mind, through your mind Is this a way to live? Blinded by hate fed, disregard for life, for life Is this a way to live? Can you see yourself? I can see the hatred seep from the sky Toxicity etched deep, deep into your mind Perspectives twisted to those you demonise You're lost, deprived of any conscience Blinded and force fеd Assimilating all the lies It's clear what you'vе become Consumed by the hatred inside Your toxic perspectives are twisted Consumed by the fear coursing through your mind, through your mind Dehumanise Blinded by hate fed, disregard for life, for life Is this a way to live? Is this a way to live? This is no way to live

Light fades away As your last breath draws closer Slip away into the dark This place only brings death With every breath I can feel your life slip away I cannot bear to see you this way If I could shoulder the weight I'd carry you till the end of days Suffer no more, give into the weight I am left helpless All life is finite, all life will fade Dark waters draw you to your bitter end Stricken by the void that's inside I am left helpless Light fades away As your last breath draws closer Slip away into the dark This place only brings death As every breath crushes your lungs I feel you slipping away I cannot wash away your pain If I could shoulder the weight You would never fade away I'd carry you until the end of your days All life is finite, all life will fade Dark waters draw you to your bitter end Stricken by the void that's inside I am left helpless Life fades away Lost in time's embrace Light fades away As your last breath draws closer Slip away into the dark This place only brings death Begin again Hello, how long has it been this time, my friend? So long, farewell, again My friend
