Taking A Life: A Song about Reincarnation

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....
