Threnody - Chimaira

Fade away into the shadows

She sucked the life right from me

How can I forget the years of torment?

Fade… away into the shadows

She sucked the life right from me

How can I forgive the years… of torment?

Lies, part of her pain

Cries, pathetic attempt

To get back inside of my head

No…

Then she turned the knife

…and looked into my eyes

And said…

I’ll bleed for you

I’d die for you

Come back to me

Or I will end my life

Life!

I’ll bleed for you

I’d kill for you

Come back to me

Or I will end your life

Fade away into the shadows

She sucked the life right from me

How can I forget the years of torment?

Fade… away into the distance

Her look was menacing

How could I forget her stares… so painful?

And she…

Tries… to manipulate

Eyes… so filled with hate

I begged her to reconsider

And then she turned the knife

And looked into my eyes

And said…

I’ll bleed for you

I’d die for you

Come back to me

Or I will end my life

I’ll bleed for you

I’d kill for you

Come back to me

Or I will end your…

Life!

I could not help her

I could not stop her

…could not protect her

I could not save her (save her)

I could not save her

I could have saved her

Oh God help me!
