The Merchant Tales

Theres something that I've been dying to tell you.
For a death in me is a death in you.
Absorbed in the thought of doing my best.
Everyone takes a staggering pleasure in proving their falseness.
You are the air I breath, you are the steps I take,
you are the words I speak, you are the life in me.
Let's see Your mission for I am a warrior. Can I walk the plank and still hold composure.
Sinking down to the ocean deep. I'm moving forward, but I've failed to see.
Sinking down to the ocean deep. I'm moving forward, but I've failed to see.
I will not break, my feet are planted firmly on the ground.
Take a look at me, it's who I am. You try to change it, but you're pounding the sand.
Close your eyes, let the light surround you. Don't look back, for you're now on your way.
Close your eyes, let the light surround you. Don't look back, for you're now on your way.
We'll light the match and burn this place to the ground.
All misconceptions will be gone without a sound.
Oh God the end is near before the time runs out.
Let's save these hearts and minds, for soon You will come down.
I'll be the filament and You'll be the fire. You'll be the truth, and I'll be the liar.
I'll be the filament and You'll be the fire. You'll be the truth, and I'll be the liar.
I'll be the filament and You'll be the fire. I'll be the filament and You'll be the fire.
I'll be the filament and You'll be the fire....
This place is burning down. This place is burning down.
Oh, this place is burning down. Oh, this place is burning down. Oh...
