An Hourglass of Blood

from Hated Since Birth by UPSTATE RECORDS

/

lyrics

a higher power
and engaging stories
a vision of heaven with hell laid before me

you can’t see
you can’t feel
you can’t think for yourself

ancient gossip
that should be collecting dust on a shelf

we get nothing but a life full of hell
so instead of looking inside ourselves
we seek a god
and a book full of hope
but all i see is a room full of mirrors and smoke

ill be haunted every waking moment
til the day i die
you speak of peace yet all i see
is hellfire burning in my eyes
your extended olive branch of friendship
is met with my spit in your face
I’ve lived long enough to know that
an hourglass of blood will seal your fate

i can’t tell if its the meds or the media
but this life is fucked as are the ones feeding ya
stealing memories
full of fallacies
skeptic visions of debilitating country
unravel at the seems
take this pain away from me
fall from the food chain to the rats and scum where you’re suppose to be

agony, fear, screams, war
counting down the days for the pale horse to take me home
as a nation we can’t take the stress
chasing the frontline of the news weeks mess

agony, fear, screams, war
counting down the days for the pale horse to take me home
as a nation we can’t take the stress
chasing the frontline of the news weeks mess

ill be haunted every waking moment
til the day i die
you speak of peace year all i see
is hellfire burning in my eyes
your extended olive branch of friendship
is met with my spit in your face
I’ve lived long enough to know that
an hourglass of blood will seal your fate

no peace in your love
no excuse for all my loss
no more time wasted
carrying your cross.
