Lyrics

verse1

the dust settles thick on a fractured glass

counting the shadows of a bitter past

you standby the threshold with a open hand

but im still buried under shifting sand

the terms were written before we met

a debt of blood that is unpaid yet

chorus

lay your guilt upon my chest

give the weary ghost no rest

are you the savior or the final blow?

the only truth that ill ever know

I turn the key but the rusted door won't yield

left behind in his frozen field

verse2

I wore the armor that you help to forge

drown the the screaming in a silent gorge

you claim to bleed the exact same shade

but you hold the handle of the hidden blade

the light you promise is a blinding sun

unforgiven till the race is run

chorus

lay your guilt upon my chest

give the weary ghost no rest

are you the savior or the final blow

the only truth that ill ever know

I turn the key but the rusted door won't yield

left behind in this frozen field

bridge

twist the knife or break the chain

wash it all away in the black rain

two bitter souls bleeding into one

final chorus

lay your guilt upon my chest

give the weary ghost no rest

are you the savior or the final blow

the only truth that ill ever know

I turn the key but the rusted door won't yield

left behind in this frozen field

outro

wash it away..

wash it all away..

a rusted door that never opens.

a hidden blade that never ends.

in the black rain, we end...
