The Unseen
Misery Chastain Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

In the night he waits watching with eager eyes. seeking to drain every last bit of life from this vessel. From this scarred heart. This blood thirsty beast, he is like a starring vulture. Every day his eyes are on us. There is no where to far. We cant escape him. A man's life is but a fog. It is gone without a trace. Lost beyond mind's conception. Lifes are over taken and battles lost when the sword is dropped, and lazy hands fold. And he creeps closer with every second. There is no more time to rest. There is one who seeks to kill us. Rise, take your sword. Face the night. Take back the blood that has been shed with vengeance and with anger. We recognize the voice thats been calling. We must hold tight. We will avenge the blood of those fallen. Avenge your blood.
