We shoulda seen it coming, how we should have known But we were too far gone, possessed with ghosts from long ago Wearing the wartime colors brighter than the sun To defend an earth covered in rot this battle must be won For all our stoic speeches Of stiffened backs and calls to fight We never thought to look back To see our future left behind The bowstrings drawn, arrows alight We're sinking deeper as they streak across the sky Returning home to nothing left And when it ended we were somehow still surprised Unsudden death Heels digging deeper into lifeless, broken ground Defied the vultures and the rabid baying of the hounds No omen was enough to satisfy our lust We betrayed all other gods except the ones that promised blood For all our great ambitions For all the songs we thought they'd sing To call to mind our vict'ry We never would win anything The bowstrings drawn, arrows alight We're sinking deeper as they streak across the sky Returning home to nothing left And when it ended we were somehow still surprised Unsudden death Where'd it all go wrong (we'll cry in pain) We could have stopped this all along (but we fought in vain) But like hell we'll give up ground For all our stoic speeches Of stiffened backs and calls to fight We never thought to look back To see our future left behind And when we tell our children We'll say the other army fled But what we leave our children A slow and agonizing unsudden death

What makes me so different from them? I'm half of what you hate And half of what you tolerate What makes you so sure I'm not the savage you insist my father was Before your kind forced him away Just another day of no belonging Just another night of fear and longing For a single day without the feeling that I'm gonna break Half my life I live under suspicion Victim of tunnel vision I don't know what else I have to prove Half my life You say I'm only faking You say I'm beyond saving But remember I'm half like you If I'm the one who's told to walk away And keep a calmer head Why can't you ever do the same? I come here wielding neither axe or sword But if my words are cutting deep Then it's not me who is to blame Half human but twice the man Try to keep calm but I don't know if I can Should it be up to me to prove them wrong But I don't know why I even try to belong It's useless to show what I'm not If I barely know what I am It's hard to feel like I'll never be home When this city is all I have I'll never be what you think I should be But I'm not what you think I am I can be what you think if you want me to be But you're not gonna like it You're not gonna like it

BERSK!!! 02:22
When everything I loved is fallen to the ground When everything I had is turned to dust and memory My heart has never slowed a beat e'er since that day I come for vengeance and I won't be turned away My eyes are red but they have never seen so clear I feel this rage It grabs ahold of me I'll stop at nothing Just to get back what I lost A new kind of hate It rages endlessly I'll stop at nothing Just to get back what I lost Now everything you know is dust and disarray Now everything you worked for lies demolished at my feet Do you regret taking my life away from me I have no sympathy for your apologies
