Strike 3 lyrics

Channeling love, through the rose of sinful thoughts

becomes a challenge with no guiding voice

to pave the way

you say this save existence lacking in joy

but as opposed to what?

the world that,

just wants to play and break you like a toy

Channeling love through the fear

of being torn apart by crowds of your barbarian peers

the human filth around us wants to trample all that is dear

under the guise of watchful reason

but no of course I'm being too austere

A thousand years ago,

it was a tepid autumn day

A lock has sealed this door

but no more

Blinded by the sun

you spin the barrel of a fully loaded gun

"If there's no winning might as well just have some fun"

I want to scream

when will you get it through your skull

That I will not let you drown

"the light is gone"

the thought keeps running through your mind

but fearing life

is easier than fighting right?

oh please just hide behind this back of mine

and save your helpless spite

knock on the door

access denied

Channeling love through the smoke and cheap substandard spirits

Laughing, you got off the hook

but you keep dancing in it's

shadow, now I overlooked

You're playing buddies with a monster

I fostered hope to reclaim what you took

And in a thousand years

I'll see a tepid autumn day

and only think about it's grace

but

blinded by the sun

You play roulette still with a fully loaded gun

A disappointing image

always on the run

Oh, I believed that you could change your ways somehow

but you just keep crashing down

"So are you done?"

your quiet voice is filled with spite

ironic right?

why don't you get out of my sights

"oh you're too kind"

the day goes up in flames

you know, I really tried

knock on the door access denied

everything will pass

the edge will dull

I know what's best for you after all

A day will come

warm and bright

when I tear down these dismal shelter walls
