The Forbidden Line
Eyes Set to Kill Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We walk past the forbidden line
In hopes of finding
A further distance
A further distance

All these thoughts are what brought
Darkness to our day
We'll always live alone
Under the surface of shame

Tell me your lies staring you dead in the eyes
I know that
The truth is bleeding out
No use in hiding now
Truth is bleeding when will you be found

We are all tempted to cross the forbidden line
Stripped of our senses
We struggle between wrong and right
Deceit in disguise you won't get pass their ties
You've dug your grave to far deep
Deceit in disguise will never get you by
You've dug your grave to fucking deep

You'll never find what you're looking for
We'll never find what we're looking for

They know who you are
seen what you've done
They know who you are zero to none
So brew up the lies
Say goodbye

We are all tempted to cross the forbidden line
Stripped of our senses
We struggle between wrong and right
Deceit in disguise you won't get pass their ties
You've dug your grave to far deep
Deceit in disguise will never get you by
you've headed away away away
From the light

No one believes no one
No one will trust us sinners
No one can hear no one
Can hear us singing

What is believing when there is nothing left to believe in?

We are all tempted to cross the forbidden line
Stripped of our senses
We struggle between wrong and right
Deceit in disguise you won't get pass their ties
You've dug your grave to far deep
Deceit in disguise will never get you by




you've headed away away away
From the light
