Cold Eyes Lyrics

This is the death of all things you never knew about

And in the ashes there's a revelation

It never had to come to this

Hold your head high for a new perspective

You never took the time to see what really mattered

Strained to breaking point

Our former wars weren't fought with words

Slaved to the will of gods

Who wouldn't care enough to help you out

If this is your legacy

What a joke it all has come to be

All the hypocrisy

Bled dry for all the world to see

Cackling laughter like a thousand blades

Assault the ears of all who bear witness

A tide of darkness seeps from the now hollow soulless husk of a king

Eyes black as the deepest pit stare up at the sky

His hands soaked in blood

Outstretched to embrace the coming emptiness

Overwhelmed by the mess he's leaving

Another moment laid to waste

Your failings are your best known traits

And every echo of your past tells your fate

You stood high on a kingdom of corpses

Until the bones rose up

Now you clamber down the slopes

To an abyss of your own design

Your reign resigned

This is the death of all things you never knew about

And in the ashes there's a revelation

It never had to come to this

Hold your head high for a new perspective

You never took the time to see what really mattered

If this is your legacy

What a joke it all has come to be

All the hypocrisy

Bled dry for all the world to see

Another moment laid to waste

Your failings are your best known traits

And every echo of your past lines your face

You stood high on a kingdom of corpses

Until the bones rose up

Now you clamber down the slopes

To an abyss of your own design

Your reign resigned

Your blank cold eyes
