00:18And the mirror cracks at dawn
00:22The first blade sinks deep
00:26Eyes of dead men stare back
00:29Where the fire used to sleep
00:34Suit and tie like a noose
00:38Polished shoes on broken glass
00:42Another day in the slaughterhouse
00:45Another year off the calendar's ass
00:50Bills like demonic jaws
00:52Tear the flesh from your bones
00:54Children's laughter turns to ash
00:57When the rent beats your throne
00:58She looks through you now
01:00Love long bled out on the floor
01:02You smile like a corpse
01:04While the rod eats you more
01:06We march to the grave
01:09Wearing crowns made of rust
01:10Demons ride our shoulders
01:12Devouring our trust
01:14Every breath is a scream
01:16Trapped inside dying lungs
01:18No savior, no dawn
01:20Just the endless black tongues
01:23All the battles we fight
01:24In the silence of night
01:26Clawing in heaven while we drown in the light
01:30Men of iron, men of dust
01:32Are reduced to meat
01:34God is laughing in the void
01:37As we bleed at his feet
01:42The bottle whispers sweet lies
01:44Poison kisses your veins
01:46Memories of who you were
01:48Choke you in acid rain
01:50Father's ghost in the hallway
01:52Screaming failures again
01:54Mother's tears on your hands
01:56You can never wash the stain
01:58Work eats your soul
02:00In fluorescent hell
02:02Bosses feast on your marrow
02:04While your dreams rot and swell
02:06Nights you hold the cold steel
02:08Press it soft to your head
02:10One twitch from release
02:12But the kids need their bread
02:16We march to the grave
02:18Wearing crowns made of rust
02:20Demons ride our shoulders
02:22Devouring our trust
02:24Every heartbeat a hammer
02:26Nailing shut the coffin lid
02:28Hope is a lie
02:30That the darkness already killed
02:32Though the war's in our chest
02:34That the world never ceases
02:36Silent soldiers decaying
02:39On bended knees
02:41Strength is a curse
02:42Love is a wound that won't close
02:44We were born just to lose
02:46And nobody knows
02:52And when the final night comes
02:56There'll be no peace
03:00Just the same empty room
03:03The same unpaid debts
03:07The same hollow man staring back
03:13No angels
03:14No light
03:16Only the laughter of things that wear your face
03:23Feeding
03:25Forever
03:26We march
03:28We march
03:28Into nothing at all
03:30Demons crowned as kings
03:32While our empires fall
03:34Every man is a tomb
03:36Walking a brightened chain
03:38Carrying graves in our hearts
03:40Down these infinite lanes
03:42No end to the fight
03:44No end to the pain
03:46Just the dark smiling white
03:50Calling our names
03:54Again
03:58And again
04:02And again
04:06Welcome home, brother
