Facing the Thousand

歌詞

In the distance They are circling I watch them go around and around Never tiring The one near death is hypnotized and closes it's eyes One last time Patiently they wait for that perfect moment to descend And pick to pieces a once healthy Body of passion and life It's me or it's you and I get to decide Which one lives and which one dies Where and when How and why Here and now A vital organ plucked out Because I need to survive Self-sacrifice is suicide Circling with occasional cries Of delight Of anticipation or remorse for nature's ceaseless patterns Binding every being to the same sick fate What unfortunate creature must suffer Watching a thousand deaths spiral slowly towards it It's me or it's you and I get to decide Which one lives and which one dies Where and when? How and why? Here and now A vital organ plucked out Because I need to survive Self-sacrifice is suicide What unfortunate creature must suffer Watching a thousand deaths spiral towards it With the will but not the strength to move on From this place Just close your eyes Just breathe your last sigh Just let go of this life Just close your eyes Just breathe your last sigh Just let go It's come now Your time How do you want us to die With regrets rotting away all of my success With longing eating away at my fulfillment Must every self-interested act inflict Devastation on another Would you rather rot or be picked to pieces still alive How do you want us to die
