Legacy
Agonize The Serpent Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

What have I become
Situations followed by the wrong decisions
I can not see
What has become of me

If you could see through my wretched lies
Through the eyes of a serpent
Buried beneath
Burned and decieved
This is how it's always been

Through the ashes of sorrow
I'm crawling on my knees
This is agony
For I am facing the reckoning

This is sickening
We're walking the same old path

This is sickening
We're walking the same old path
I need to find my way
To create my own legacy

I try to find a place to stay
The path of lies, there's a shadow above me
I am bringing the whole world down on me
Break these chains
Bring me silence
My demon in the dark
The curse in my heart

Take what's left of me, bleeding through the agony
As I fade away, I need to find myself
Put me back on solid ground
I need to find my way back home
Condemned to eternal despair

Carving writings on the wall, through the ashes I crawl
Breathe in the fire
I search for something
Far too close to nothing

What have I become
Situations followed by the wrong decisions
I can not see
What has become of me

Through the ashes of sorrow
I'm crawling on my knees
This is agony
For I am facing the reckoning

This is sickening
We're walking the same old path
I need to find my way
To create my own legacy

This is sickening
We're walking the same old path




I need to find my way
To create my own legacy

I must face the heat and intensity of my pain and confront it head-on


I search for something, far too close to nothing
As I search for a new direction and purpose, I am confronted with the possibility of finding nothing at all, which is both frightening and liberating
