lyrics
Give me a moment so I can breathe out
Your complaint won’t change the fact that I’m alive
Give me a moment so I can throw out
Negative karma you implied in your acts
Mayflies stick to my skin
As I preach the words of Vulcain’s victim
Ephemeral existences burn down
From ashes to dust and from dust to the crown
Paint the skies in crimson
Rip off your visceras, use it as a brush
Please hold me tight and ignite my soul
Blow my candle two hours before dawn
The fruit dealer won’t carry his cart anymore
He’s tired to survive like a prairie dog
He cries for mercy to the All-seing Eye
Useless prayers that will be his last words
Vulcain is now licking his leathered skin
This sunbeam will be the first and the last
The last that he sees and the first for his people
Masters await an atonement for their sins
Salamandra just popped out from nowhere
Sudden kiss for a sudden death
Sweet lips, cold breath
Sun will rise no matter how hard you try
Don't mind the scars
Don't mind the razor blade
All this hate might just flow upon you
We might just be on the edge of something
But will you dare to take just one more step ?
I could be there when I see you alone
But onslaught is the only thing we’ve seen lately
I could react when you burn to the ground
Aloofness can be the most sadistic answer
I’d rather sit there and watch the world ignite
Vesta’s flames never been burning that much
Streets turn to red but I’m still colorblind
Stay calm and now hear the sound of violence
Your complaint won’t change the fact that I’m alive
Give me a moment so I can throw out
Negative karma you implied in your acts
Mayflies stick to my skin
As I preach the words of Vulcain’s victim
Ephemeral existences burn down
From ashes to dust and from dust to the crown
Paint the skies in crimson
Rip off your visceras, use it as a brush
Please hold me tight and ignite my soul
Blow my candle two hours before dawn
The fruit dealer won’t carry his cart anymore
He’s tired to survive like a prairie dog
He cries for mercy to the All-seing Eye
Useless prayers that will be his last words
Vulcain is now licking his leathered skin
This sunbeam will be the first and the last
The last that he sees and the first for his people
Masters await an atonement for their sins
Salamandra just popped out from nowhere
Sudden kiss for a sudden death
Sweet lips, cold breath
Sun will rise no matter how hard you try
Don't mind the scars
Don't mind the razor blade
All this hate might just flow upon you
We might just be on the edge of something
But will you dare to take just one more step ?
I could be there when I see you alone
But onslaught is the only thing we’ve seen lately
I could react when you burn to the ground
Aloofness can be the most sadistic answer
I’d rather sit there and watch the world ignite
Vesta’s flames never been burning that much
Streets turn to red but I’m still colorblind
Stay calm and now hear the sound of violence
