lyrics

Sinister

Carpe Diem
My will be done
We’ll shed the skin of what we’ve been
Metamorphosis

Enslaved by the cowards who hide in ivory towers
The time they take, the backs they break, souls devoured
I’ll bite the hand that fed me
Finally, I am ready
To speak against what kept me in silence
I am overcome by violence
These thoughts they are not my own
Mutiny by the heirs to the throne
Hark, no angel calls,
As we break down these walls

We can mend, severe inequity
Restore the balance, free me

We have been hiding beyond the light
Cloaks and daggers poised to fight
We will reclaim our place in time
Brothers and sisters in kind
Raise up your voices, unite!
We will be defined by what we are leaving
What we are leaving behind

Hark, no angel cries,
As we watch the world change with open eyes

Are we ready, is the strength inside?
To change our lives, to leave this all behind
I know you are fading, and slowly so will I
Why don’t we make this count for something
I wanna know that when I die

I’ll sleep, well

No matter how hard I scrub, the stain will remain,
Forever shackled down, we don’t change
I sink, dragged down by every link in a chain I can’t break
There is nothing left for you to take

I can’t break
