The Noose

(Well, our) souls are all mistaken in the same misguided way

We all end up forsaken, we're just choosing our own way

The future now incinerates before our very eyes

And leaves us with emptiness of no more tries

(Well, our) visions of glory now have spiraled down the drain

The best of our intentions now come crashing down in flames

The depths of our despair we are unable to contain

It's shallow living

The noose is falling

And all my friends are crawling

The noose is falling

And enemies are rising

A truth appalling

Our maker comes a calling

The noose is falling

And enemies are rising

(Well, the) tracers from yesteryear are burning in the dust

Your bruises are reminders of naivety and trust

You're only feeling stronger 'cause your body's getting numb

Now I lay you down, put the coins in your eyes

And blow the candles out

The noose is falling

And all my friends are crawling

The noose is falling

And enemies are rising

A truth appalling

Our maker comes a calling

The noose is falling

And enemies are rising

The noose is falling

And all my friends are crawling

The noose is falling

And enemies are rising

A truth appalling

Our maker comes a calling

The noose is falling

And enemies are rising

No more! (No more!)

No more! (No more!)

Nothing!

No more! (No more!)

No more! (No more!)

Ever!

No more!

No more!

The noose is falling

And all my friends are crawling

The noose is falling

And enemies are rising

A truth appalling

Our maker comes a calling

The noose is falling

And enemies are rising

The noose is falling

And all my friends are crawling

The noose is falling

And enemies are rising
