lyrics

Cataclysmic days falls upon broken souls
As desperation follows, it swallows us whole

Time spends its life counting down the days
til the weight of the world takes it all away
Leaving behind the blood and the tears
That soak our hearts and fill our fears

With shaking hands and stinging eyes
We take a moment to realize
With shaking hands and stinging eyes
I never thought this would be our last goodbye

Now the silence is deafening
And we're waiting for a sign that all's okay
Is there a place where I can breathe
Where sorrow's embrace can set me free

Now how can I go on

Tragic, yet beautiful
To see a life's rebirth
Reminding me of my
Own self worth 2x

With shaking hands and stinging eyes
We take a moment to realize
With shaking hands and stinging eyes
I never thought this would be our last goodbye

Now the silence is deafening
And we're waiting for a sign that all's okay
Is there a place where I can breathe
Where sorrow's embrace can set me free

I cast the final stone
Tearing the skin and the bone
From a vessel that holds true life without mold
Your presence lives on through the death of Babylon

Beaten and broken
Our hollow hearts are tattered and swollen
Help me find my way until it's my time
to decay

And the silence was deafening
We were waiting for a sign that all's okay
I found a place where I can breathe
Where sorrow's embrace has set me free

I cast the final stone
Tearing the skin and the bone
From a vessel that holds true life without mold
Your presence lives on through the death of Babylon
