Pain Part 1: Frustration
The Last Void Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

(Oh) you make it look so easy
(Walking) like you were born with it
(Talking) like it comes so natural
(Leaving) everyone behind

You swallow the light when you walk into a room
We just stand in awe hoping you'll turn to us
How does it feel to have them in a palm of your hand

What would I give to even be in your shadow

Have mercy on us all
Almighty savior of the masses
Guide us out of this misery
Have mercy on us all
Bring hope to this festering pace
Give strength to the weak and the lost

(Have you seen)

What new lies do you bring us now
What dreams have you come to destroy
It's all the same with you people
Embody a god to tear us apart
You don't care about the hurting
Just the next perk you will obtain

Have mercy on us all
Almighty savior of the masses
Guide us out of this misery
Have mercy on us all
Bring hope to this festering pace
Give strength to the weak and the lost

We sold our soul for pain in return ...

Corrupted (you don't care about the hurting)
Blinded (you don't care about this pain)
