lyrics

I tallied the strikes upon my bloodstained skin
The day extinction took you in
A life of reprimand to be chastised
Now fly alone through pitch black skies

Next thing you know (Next thing you know)
You're down below (You're down below)

I won't fear your possession (Now its over)
My vices feed my aggression (We'll take over, now)
No matter what I do, I can't seem to survive
I only need look inside the blackguard in your

All that is left behind is your disdain
Judgment lies upon your masquerade.

A rising storm ahead as I begin the trek to my unknown
Lands that still remain unseen
Dark it is indeed
The outcome of your vanity
Dethrone the king and come to life

I won't fear your possession (Now its over)
My vices feed my aggression (We'll take over, now)
No matter what I do, I can't seem to survive
I only need look inside the blackguard in your eyes
