City of Sin
Upon This Dawning Lyrics

I feel your evil tongue around my neck
I sense your deceitful words affecting and controlling me.

A thousand hands drag me down to hell
I am being pulled down by endless negative influences towards damnation.

You can promise me a life but I can not do the same
I cannot make a false promise to a life that I'm unsure of.

I will be sleeping in your golden bed
I'll be living in your luxurious world, oblivious to its true nature.

I feel you breathing next to me
I am intimately linked to you, whether for good or bad.

While I watch you burn
As you receive the consequences of your actions, I'm a spectator.

You won't find a way to escape
Your past mistakes will catch up with you, and you can't run forever.

You're facing the fate
You're at the mercy of the inevitable consequences of your actions.

Cause everybody just needs to know
Each person craves to understand the reason behind the actions of others.

The reason why you're there and stand for nothing
You are at that spot in life without purpose, and your actions do not affect anything positively.

And I'm trying to find the way cause I know the fate is calling your name
I'm looking for answers because I know that you're headed for trouble.

I feel the evil running through my veins
I am being consumed by the bad influence of my surroundings.

I wanna stop to bear the weight of your past
I'm tired of carrying the burden of your past mistakes in our relationship.

You can promise me a life then I can promise you death
If you try to deceive or harm me, you'll face the consequences.

And I will keep your heart inside of me
I'll keep a reminder of our relationship and the pain it caused close to me.

Don't crucify me
Please don't hold anything against me for what I'm about to say.

I'm not your Jesus anymore
I can no longer be the savior in our relationship.

I'm just a sinner sailing this ship of souls
I'm flawed and struggling to navigate through the lives of those around me.

Cause everybody just needs to know
Each person desires a reason for the events in their life.

The reason why you're there and stand for nothing
Your purpose in life is absent, and you're not positively contributing to anything.

And I'm trying to find the way cause I know the fate is calling your name
I'm seeking solutions to avoid the inevitable consequences of your actions.
