TAKING A LIFE
Lyrics by Brendan McCarthy
recorded 7.10 by Something Left Unsaid
I will walk once more when i have died
Be born again to breathe new life,
Subterfuged, I'm blended in
as trail of ash through the ruins of Pompei
i've heard the whip crack, i've takin my lashes
a gladly paid price for what i now
know,
i'm somewhere far away, farther than ive shown
You will look but you'll never find me
i'm someplace they wont go
deep within decay
i hope one day you'll see
that there is life
amongst your dead
ive begged with paupers and ive conquered with kings
ive danced with demons takin my refuge in my veins
a symmetrical shift in the structure of bad brains
through carnage we sift, to retain what remains
but i will walk once more when i have died,
will be born again to breathe new life
i'm somewhere far away, farther than ive shown
you will look but you'll never find me
i'm someplace they wont go
deep within decay
i hope one day you'll see
that there is life
amongst your dead
We're plotting the course and charting the sky
With the infinite wealth of the three warm and wild eyes
Cards that we're dealt are by our own design
The path that we walk is the meaning of life
But we will walk once more once we have died
Born again we will breathe new life
i'm somewhere far away, farther than ive shown
You will look but you'll never find me
i'm someplace they wont go
deep within decay
i hope one day you'll see
that there is life....
