The Scourge Songtext
von Periphery

As I sit with eyes heavy, omens clear
Face down in seclusion, the evils steer
What drives the stake within my heart
This man, he fell apart
Now that the entrance is open wide
This black all around makes its way inside
What have you done? Will hate abide?
Where is my death invitation? Elation?
Ooh-oh

Dead wind swirling beneath these prayers I hide
I′d give my life for a taste of, taste of
What lies beyond in that place now
Live earth rising beneath these hands untied
I'd leave my life on the line


Never one of them, never one of them
Never one of them, never one of them
I am not free
Never one of them, never one of them
Never one of them, never one of them
I am not, I am not, I am not
I am not free

Survive
I will survive
Glass ceilings above drop rage upon them
Raging upon them
Stone cold fist and a memory running on the blunt end of a blade
The blood that it spills shall start my serenade to you
I will survive
I will survive
Survive

Silence is bringing on the heart attack
Pushing and pulling going on within my brain
Says to lay low (to lay low)
Dead end, the darkness latches on
Now I am a product of a mind that wasn′t ever mine
And now it says, "Kill them slow" (Kill them slow)
Weighed down, I'm drowning in this stale moment
Renown is yelling at me from above
This is a one way road
Kill them slow
