lyrics

Running through my dreams
You footsteps making sweet tremors
Resonance to drown the cries
Will you ever leave from my mind
Your smile behind my eyes
A blanket for the darkened soul that
You left on the edge of your fingers

And I thought
Love would hide my sins and
Cover me up
Closed blinds to hide the man you feared
Now I let the pain
and all it takes to
reign over you and me
Across an ocean
on lines so broken
You beg for what I bleed so well
How dare you wish for arms
That never truly held you

Your cries are hollow
Your fear is meek
Your cries are hollow
And I am dead to you

In a perfect life
I would've believed every word that left my lips
Poor words chosen in blackened times
Should've sewn my heart's mouth shut
Drowning in chaos and tepid lights
How we dance in littered streets
What does it mean to think of anything
When past pages are a lie?

It's all a lie

We loved as sinners
But died as lovers
They all knew that there was no escape for us
No escape
But I'd live it again just to see you break

I'd live it all again just to see you break with me
And I'd hold you in my arms just to wither away in the end

In the end
The end of it all
Wither away in my arms
Let the pain reign over again

At the end
At the end of it all
Wither away with me
Wither away

Dissentient
by AngelMaker

supported by 8 fans who also own “Reign”

Two impressive vocalists, variable and skilled guitarists and a tight and very powerful rhythm section. That plus the ability to write a song really leaves nothing left to desire here. mourner
