Dark Days

Risen from darkness, stand up and be counted
So righteous
Down on your knees, become nothing to me
Sweet catharsis
I remember the day
Never felt so betrayed
Don't try to pretend that was my parade
You chose to attack, scorpion on my back
I've considered you dead and buried for years

For all the passage of time, the dark days
The crushing weight of my mind, my lost ways
The hate I've leaned to refine, my dark ways
Live out the rest of your life in dark days
Oh no...

I was bred to trust no one
And you're no exception, you've failed me
Spare me
A lifetime you've had to be there and you blew it
You can never amend what's been broken and bled
Took so many years of treading in quicksand
With all the distance and time
It opened my eyes
And that's something you'll never, ever take back

For all the passage of time, the dark days
The crushing weight of my mind, my lost ways
The hate I've leaned to refine, my dark ways
Live out the rest of your life in dark days
Oh no...
