Solace
Burden Of The Sky Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The great deceiver that's been raised from the dead
I'm the demon you wished for when no one was there
I'm your murderer telling you nobody cares
I own you
I'm taking the rights to my making
And i can see your grave from here
I'm taking all that pain you feel
You might as well take your number
I'am the poison that you pushed in your veins
I'm the end all be all
And i'm learning to tame you
The itch in your skin
I'm the ache in your bones
I'm the pain that you feel
I'm the reason you're all alone
(I own you)
(I'm taking the rights to my making)
And i can see your grave from here
You're going all but six feet under
I'm taking all that pain you feel
You might as well take your number
I see your grave and it's getting closer
You pray for Salus
I'll kill you slower
I'll bring you peace when you're six feet under
I'm taking over so take your number
And i can see your grave from here
(And i)
You're going all but six feet under
And i can see your grave from here
You're going all but six feet under
I'm taking all that pain you fell
You might as well take your number
I see your grave and it's getting closer
You pray for Salus
I'll kill you slower
I'll bring you peace when you're six feet under
I'm taking over so take your number
You might as well take your number
