Fleeting Time Songtext
von Tariot

It feels like we′re sinking choking drowning in my blood
Can't you tell
Can′t you tell
You can see it in my eyes
The weight of the void pulls me under
Every breath feels like a curse
Every night, it haunts, I hear the call
A whisper from the void that swallows all

You see the broken signs of a man yet he still sees nothing
I've walked these plains and it's come to an end
And I said
Fuck it


You see this chaos it creates
Yet you stand for nothing
A cowards throne built on decay
At least filth′s worth something
Now fill your glasses
Drink it down
Feed the flames
I′ve been broken, been betrayed
But I'll never let this fire fade

Together we stand, we won′t fall apart
This is our journey, it's written in our hearts
Through the struggle, through the pain
We rise and fall, but still we remain

Take it back
Over again
I never meant to
Say it back
Yet and Again
It was only meant for
Drowning in chains
For me
Was the only way to
Cultivate the pain
Yet again
You′ll never break me
You'll never take me
Buried alive, still clawing free
Let the darkness bleed


Take your crown, burn your throne
Watch me rise and stand alone
I see the end, but I choose to run
I see the weight but won′t be undone
I'm Falling, I'm Falling
This war inside, I′ll rise again
Ascending, Ascending
I don′t give in

Together we stand, we won't fall apart
This is our journey, it′s written in our hearts
Through the struggle, through the pain
We rise and fall, but still we remain
Didn't know where we were going
But we kept the fire burning
And we knew we had to keep on pushing

Let the embers die where they lay
No more prayers, no more graves
Spit out the dirt
Tear out the rust
What′s left of me is more than dust
No fate, no chains, no crown to claim
The earth won't mourn
The sky won′t weep
I've buried secrets
Six feet deep
An empty casket, built on shame
My heartbeat slows, a melody of fleeting time
