Between Death and Dreams
Brand of Sacrifice Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I drank the plasma from the wrist
Let go of feelings
Stared into ember eyes
Blackness devoured, these eyes were once mine
Blackness devoured, these eyes were never mine
But I don’t know who's eyes they've become
(Who they've become)
Now bleed me dry
So I can be clean again
Never ending agony
No sympathy
My misery, complete
Never ending agony
The fear it lives on inside you and me
(Inside of me)
Separating death from dreams
No sympathy
(Sympathy)
My misery, complete
I recognize that you're fading
From the deception, you are sustaining
I won't leave you in the dark
Forsake your legacy
I will not leave you in the dark
Desert in your misery
Never ending agony
The fear it lives on inside you and me
(Inside of me)
Separating death from dreams
No sympathy
(Sympathy)
My misery, complete
I recognize that you're fading
From the deception, you are sustaining
Eyes of despair
A face full of lust
Eternal damnation
Eternal damnation
Staring into nothingness
I am bound by fate with blood on my hands
Writing in hopelessness
Ensnared by the desolate screams
(By the desolate screams)
This is your descent
Never ending agony
The fear it lives on inside you and me
(Inside of me)
Separating death from dreams
No sympathy
(Sympathy)
My misery, complete
Between death and dreams
(Eternal agony)
Pain becomes a part of me
(I know I can’t break free)
Between death and dreams
(Eternal agony)
Pain becomes a part of me
(I know I can’t break free)

I released all emotions
Stared into ember eyes
I gazed into eyes burning with intense passion

But I am unsure whose eyes they have transformed into
(Who they've become)
