Boundless
Hatebreed Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A toe tag for the spite
A body bag for the envy
A coffin for their guilt
Headstones in their place
A shovel tells the memories
So take this message how you want
'Cause it's time, our time
Confront what you've always denied
And be boundless
It's time
Reach within and find
The nemesis inside
'Cause it's time to murder it
Oh let's go
I've got your epitaph written
Elegy to scream
A hole dug deep for the gluttony
Sever strings of doubt
No need for last rites
False prayers no one's hearing
So take this message how you want
Today it ends now I choose what you control
And I'm not sorry for your loss
As the coffin shuts on everything you know
'Cause it's time, our time
Confront what you deny 'cause it's time to be boundless
I want what it take to be boundless
I know what it is to be boundless
I can't let this nemesis survive
I must reach inside 'cause it's time
Time to fucking murder it
'Cause it's time
It's time
It's time
Confront what you always deny 'cause it's time to be boundless
