Shrike - The Void Stares Back Lyrics

I've walked this path of solemn
A great unholy wrath
You took away my future
You took away my past
These times they change
We all grow old
Time came long ago
Your blood ran cold
Torn and broken
This mental state I've known
It's been years since I've walked alone
Your time has come
Cause I'm f*cking done
Sick of the endless commiserations
Staring into space
It's a long hard road
Back from this dark place
Eviscerated
My mind but not my soul
We've decimated
The land we used to know
How do you sleep at night?
Did you forget about your blight?
Or is this disease
Taking control?
Broad are my shoulders, some weight can they bear
Endlessly lasting cos patience is fear
Always alone in the mind
Patiently waiting cos things will be fine
As you stare into the void
Do you feel the darkness
Calling out to us?
It's burning and scraping at the corners of my soul
Kneeling, concealing
The ashes rise from below
An empire
Foundations crumbled
Trapped amongst the seeds you've sewn
Gone is my weakness
I'm gonna smash it down
With gods as my witness
I'm gonna break new ground
With gods as my witness
And you know we're gonna break our false idols down
Gone is my weakness
I'm gonna smash it down
With gods as my witness
I'm gonna break new ground
With gods as my witness
And you know we're gonna break our false idols down
As you stare into the void
Do you feel the darkness
Calling out to us?
It's burning and scarping at the corners of my soul
Kneeling, concealing
The ashes rise from below
A new source of power
Once left untapped
I'll wolf and devour
Whatever comes to pass
Betrodden beaten
Breaking it down
All of you liars
Your system is down
If you stare into the void
Long enough
Deep down
You know
The void stares back
