Lyrics

It's never enough to bring them the gold and the pearls You could bring them the moon, and still they would ask for the world Cause we're born to die, and yet we're dying to live You tell me that you need more time, but there is none that I have left to give Caught in the web Entangled in fears Under the stars The spider is near A shimmer of fangs The shadows deceive The lurking of eyes Illusions are weaved Kissed by the lips of this crimson night Guided by the vigil of the candlelight In darkness they gamble On a fire of coals From the worth of a lifetime To the weight of a soul To wake from the dream In a nightmare of thorns The deafening sounds Of a thunderous storm Steps taken forth, into the frail light Lives torn apart, oh what a grave sight The serpent slithers beneath the leaves The wind howls between the trees The men cry out in tormented pain But nothing can stop this torrent of rain Fates tied, an unlucky draw To be the one who picks the shortest straw When silence is the only thing thats left unsaid The last thing they hear is a shot to the head Dragged to the grave through the smoke and fire Steel bonds for slaves to bleed beneath the mire Behold the desperate souls bereft of grief and ire Their hopes and dreams laid to rest upon a mangled pyre Silence whispered through my ears Vanished all my horrors and my fears I placed my trust in you tonight We revel in the adversary's spite Lifted of our burdens and our plights They see the blazing lights dash across the night (Silence whispered through my ears) The flames dancing there before their sullen eyes (Vanished all my horrors and my fears) And as they kneel, one by one their spirits rise (I placed my trust in you tonight) The gunshots silenced by their screams and wimpered cries (We revel in the adversary's spite)
