Blood pouring from my mouth
I'm down but I'm not out
Give me everything you've got and it's still not enough
Blood pouring from my mouth
I'm down but I'm not out
You'll have to kill me
A death defeat
We exchanged our violent ways in bloody pleasantries
I'll watch my love disintegrate into a death defeat
I withstand the tempest for I am
Relentless
For I am
Relentless
For I am
You, you'll float and sting while
I plow through mountain and trees
My world crumbles around me
Through bloody fists and broken dreams
But it's not enough
It's not be enough
Violent by nature, and I'd rather die than lose
Tormented delusion, tunnel vision, see this through
I'm not an animal, but I won't stop, and they won't see
You can never take that away from me
We exchanged our violent ways in bloody pleasantries
I'll watch my love disintegrate into death defeat
Hit me, cannonade, hit me
Hit me, fucking cannonade, hit me
You'll have to kill me
Death defeat

THE CLEANSING FIRE
02:57
|

For the hearts burned black
Embers glow and fade
And with the breeze I watch the ashes blow away
And with the breeze I watch the ashes blow
The bridges have burned
The path has gone dark
The ashes of what was will never rise
Now I watch the passion fade from your eyes
My burning body lights my path
Hold my hand
Walk with me in flames
My burning body lights my path
Hold my hand
Walk with me in flames
Your own personal hell always burns the hottest (Always burns the hottest)
But the only way out is through
My flesh crisping until only charred bones remain
But I'd rather burn alone than clutch these memories of you
The past can't save you with no future left to lose
Cast your dreams into the flames and let the fire consume
The fire consumes
The cleansing fire
My burning body lights my path
Hold my hand
Walk with me in flames
My burning body lights my path
Hold my hand
Walk with me in flames
