Lyrics
The Unknown
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
As the axe comes, crashing down
Dragging us, beneath the ground
Abandoned here, you're gone without a sound
All you've taken, all you've said
Still hear your voice, inside my head
Beaten, broken down, and left for dead
Leave me to die
No more denial, no more restraint, no more conscience
And I will seal your fate
So close your eyes
And live in the unknown
Forsaken by the world
Your life has turned to stone
Balanced of your mind decays
Only flesh and bone remains
The fire of the afterlife awaits
No more denial, no more restraint, no more conscience
And I will seal your fate
Just close your eyes again
There's no escape
Just close your eyes
Your life is mine to take
So close your eyes
And live in the unknown
Forsaken by the world
Your life has turned to stone
Just close your eyes again
And I will seal your fate
So close your eyes
And live in the unknown
Surrender, your free will
Your life has turned to stone
There's no escape this
So close your eyes
And live in the unknown
Forsaken by the world
Your life has turned to stone
