I walk alone on the bridge looking down over the city of night
I see my days coming to an end and the tunnel is bearing no light
For some reason I can't imagine there will be a future for me
But if this is so then why is it not something I can see?
From day to day
They see no difference
No one will say
They've heard the silence
From the pain I'm feeling now
No other sensation will suffice
Break my chains, I'll break my vow
Let my heart turn cold as ice
Set fire to flame
And blind the dark
Cripple the lame
And drown the flood
Yesterday's game
Tomorrow's shark
Swallowed by pain
Submersed in blood
In the evening I go down
To bury my head in the sand
I twist these thorns into a crown
And walk like death across the land
They hate my ways
They know my enemy
So come what may
Release my energy
Set fire to flame
And blind the dark
Cripple the lame
And drown the flood
Yesterday's game
Tomorrow's shark
Swallowed by pain
Submersed in blood
Chasing the rat all around my patchwork coliseum
My bleeding eyes will burn him down if only I could see him
The ghosts of pain so long gone and things I don't remember
Determination is my bane so long as I'll live forever
Set fire to flame
And blind the dark
Cripple the lame
And drown the flood
Yesterday's game
Tomorrow's shark
Swallowed by pain
Submersed in blood
