Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Blessed visionary cut me with your sun

The rivers ran in blood

Spark fueled to fire

[Verse 2]

Deep within this endless void

Searching for a sign

[Verse 3]

The vessel forged inside of me

Watches over like the death of the moon

[Verse 4]

Strike the shepherd

Sheep will scatter

Mountains of despair

[Verse 5]

I can see the pain

It's written all over your face

[Verse 6]

The screaming arrows tear through my soul

In the dawn your face is haunting

White ghostly dreams of old

[Verse 7]

Weight of world is on your shoulder

Hear the voice of gold

[Verse 8]

I can see the pain

It's written all over your face

[Verse 9]

(Violent soul under my control)

(Violent soul takes its final toll)

[Verse 10]

(Violent soul under my control)

(Violent soul takes its final toll)

[Verse 11]

Desperate heathens flock to sirens

Guard your heartache well

[Verse 12]

Momma don't let them take her

Don't let them take her down

At least alone

[Verse 13]

Please tell Lucifer he can't have this one

Her spirit's too strong

[Verse 14]

I can see the pain

It's written all over your face

I can see the pain

You can make it all go away
