lyrics

It's time I learned to see the trees for the truth
And swim towards fog so thick that I can't see right through
No more black starless nights in homes I've grown up until now
With fences jutting up like bones from carcasses buried in ground
A sip of wine for all of those that I've known peacefully
A sip of poison for each time that I have been deceived
Each message that I send is a symbol of my defiance
Sent off with bombs strapped to their chest
Everyone here's a suspect

And I won't stop 'til I'm out of breath
A lesson I've not forgotten yet
Carrying on, cursed by choice
To hear the sound of the revolving voice
No, I won't stop until there's nothing left
A loss that I've not forgiven yet
Carrying on, cursed by choice
To hear the sound of the revolving voice

I've got more ambition than I've had in my entire life
I've found a way to stop the knives that are trapped in my eyes
My friends all stand together and they will until their deaths
But they're not leaving until they've collected all their debts
So taking note of the poisons and daggers clutched in your hand
I'll stand aside and let you wage war until you cannot stand
Until you realize exactly who you're fighting againt
Fighting like hell when it's over
Revenge robbed me of closure

And I won't stop 'til I'm out of breath
A lesson I've not forgotten yet
Carrying on, cursed by choice
To hear the sound of the revolving voice
No, I won't stop until there's nothing left
A loss that I've not forgiven yet
Carrying on, cursed by choice
To hear the sound of the revolving voice

Is it so arrogant to want a way out of this?
Why should I be subject to the world's sharp edges
I fashioned this casket out of a burning shipwreck
And I'm gonna come down hard
If I am destined to drown with it

And I won't stop 'til I'm out of breath
A lesson I've not forgotten yet
Carrying on, cursed by choice
To hear the sound of the revolving voice
No, I won't stop until there's nothing left
A loss that I've not forgiven yet
Carrying on, cursed by choice
To hear the sound of the revolving voice
