Despair Is A Siren from For This We Fought The Battle Of Ages

Let down a rope I know there is another world In their geometry Is a straight line to a living death The earth is shifting like a plate My skin doesn’t fit anymore I’m hanging by the noose of their lamp cord I see the bars of the cage Like paper dolls we’re linked here Homesick for chains In their gilded whalebones We gasp and wilt away The earth is shifting like a plate My skin doesn’t fit anymore I’m writhing in the flame of their ghost lights I see the bars of the cage Despair is a siren calling through the night The earth wraps itself in a shroud I curse my fate, I curse my free will In you, I see the glass towers coming down In you, I see something that died in me fester and ignite I’m not sleeping in glass chambers Who’s the dead one now? My stand lives on in gas chambers Who’s the dead one now?
