The Requiem

[Verse 1] The ink is dry on a story of scars Written in dust and the light of dead stars One more betrayal, a house made of glass Watching the seasons and the funerals pass [Distant orchestral swell] Love was a ghost that I couldn't quite hold Life is a bargain that’s already sold. [Pre-Chorus] Can you hear the hollow? Can you feel the weight? We are the architects... Of our own dark fate. [Chorus] This is the requiem for the shattered and the torn! For every spirit that was weathered and worn! In the shadow of the valley, in the center of the flame We have no faces, and we have no name! We are the broken, but we still remain! [Verse 2] Existence is heavy, a crown made of lead Walking the line between the living and dead A cycle of tragedy, a loop of the blade Counting the debt that can never be paid! The heart is a ruin, the soul is a cage! [Bridge] (It's okay to fall.) (It's okay to break.) BURIED ALIVE! PICK. UP. THE. PIECES. STAND. IN. THE. RAIN. THE. SCARS. ARE. THE. PROOF. OF. THE. STRENGTH. IN. THE. PAIN! [Final Chorus] This is the requiem for the shattered and the torn! For every spirit that was weathered and worn! In the shadow of the valley, in the center of the flame We have no faces, and we have no name! [Outro] For the broken. For the lost.
