To Be Fed Upon
Die Sektor Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Lost and alone
Broken and cold
No comfort in the silence
Crippled inside
Soul open wide
Left for
The rats to feed
Eyes without sight
Skin torn apart
Feel the veins running dry
Every second

Excruciating
Wait for the cold
To overcome

Show me a way
To escape the truth
Every day I'm growing further from hope
I close my eyes
And dream myself away
Show me a way
To escape this cage
Nightmares flood reality
I close my eyes
And dream myself away

The face you see in the mirror is skewed
Silent with lips trembling
Past the point of numb




You've already gone
Only moments remain
