There's no escape from this awful place
Hey, stranger, what's your name?
Have we met before?
Take a look around, the scenes are all the same
I can see the veil right behind me
I'll close my eyes and this will go away
Have I ever said this before?
If I just keep moving will I be okay or panic in the mayhem?
I can't take it, I'm battered and broken, abandoned forever
It's round and round and round we go
Somebody please let me know just what it takes to begin
To start all over again
The truth has finally shown it's face
How long have I been in this place?
I never had a choice, you blinded me and stole my voice
I will see you soon
Hey, stranger, what's your name?
Have we met before?
Do I ever dare to question fate's design or submit to such a bleak destiny?
There has to be another way than this, It's a hopeless fight anyway
I will not give up and wash away the sin, I'm thirsting for the carnage
I can't take it, I'm battered and broken, abandoned forever
It's round and round and round we go
Somebody please let me know just what it takes to begin
To start all over again
The truth has finally shown it's face
How long have I been in this place?
I never had a choice, you blinded me and stole my voice
I will no longer take flight from you
Now that you've got me, what's next?
Let me help
Now I destroy you, demon
Sinew is ripped to shreds
Stripped form your body, crimson
Fury of righteousness will now consume you in death
It's the sweet, sweet song of your heartbeat
All I feel is a memory
Of the night I laid in bed with you
It's the easy sound of your breathing
Telling me what I should've seen
Where was I when you fell fast asleep?
I can't live without you by my side
It's round and round and round we go
Somebody please let me know just what it takes to begin
To start all over again
It's round and round and round we go
Someone please let me know just what it takes to begin
To start all over again
