…and They All Blew Away Songtext
von Witherfall

The final line, lies between what was said
It tells me what to fear
Descending through the emptiness
All the while on borrowed time
Lies are streaming through my head
And nothing can stop the culling...

For the last time you have failed me
I′ll keep my cards just out of reach
And for every empty sacrifice
Or promise you won't keep
I lay it all out on the table
You leave me hanging on the line
Here′s to every wasted hour waiting
Here on borrowed time and I know...
I don't know I...


And now the course laid out before me
No more promises to keep
It doesn't matter if in the end
It doesn′t justify the means
And now our trust in penance fading
We put our faith in hollow lies
Again, with every wasted hour waiting here on borrowed
And I know...

I don′t know, I should've done more to keep them all at bay
You just came through
Spinning your web of lies but I know...

In the wind, and through the rain
We can find ourselves a path to follow
Even those uninvited get to stay...
And in the end we ride the storm
And there is no one immune to sorrow
Like every star up above will surely fade...
And they all blew away

Descending into hallowed halls of disillusion
Pretending that it′s not your time, to persuade
Giving into temptation, lies and your confusion
Answers we thought made us free
Turned us into slaves...
"And it cycles on and on... Unfolding with the wind"
Man's greed has given way to this
We find ourselves with our backs to the wall and


I don′t know, I should've done more to keep them all at bay
You just came through
Spinning your web of lies but I know...

In the wind, and through the rain
We can find ourselves a path to follow
Even those uninvited get to stay...
And in the end we ride the storm
And there is no one immune to sorrow
Like every star up above will surely fade...
And they all blew away

Crossing over
We ascend to embrace the coming curse
Descending, precision
No one can hide from the inverse

The chosen give the sign
Let the virus spread
Wake up, it′s not a dream anymore
The things that we once, took for granted
Now lay dying on the floor
This is not what we wanted from this
This is not what you wanted to say

Now that I've had some time
To find myself a little inspiration
It isn't like we had a choice
Was this all pointless insulation
"From ripping and clawing sycophants"
Too weak to show their faces
Let the tide of indifference eradicate the weak
Drown our enemies in silence

"We drown our enemies in silence"

I don′t know, I should′ve done more to keep them all at bay
You just came through
Spinning your web of lies but I know...

In the wind, and through the rain
We can find ourselves a path to follow
Even those uninvited get to stay...
And in the end we ride the storm
And there is no one immune to sorrow
Like every star up above will surely fade...
And they all blew away
