[Verse 1]
No end
To darkness
This powers left the good inside me dead
And tarnished
This never ending cycle goes round and round
Foundations of a broken nation built on trust
Built on lust I know
That I'm what's wrong
Ive never been so lost

[Pre Chorus]
My hands are stained with the blood
Of the innocent
My heart encased in deep black
Cold and vacant
I have become, a figure, of everything I hated
My light has burnt out!
Will it burn again?

[Chorus]
I'm waiting
For the smoke to clear
So I can see the mirror
But all thats staring back at me
Is a killer
What have I done
What have I become
All this time I thought they were to blame
But I was just the same

[Verse 2]
Im lost
In madness
Trapped behind this frame with no control
Or sight
I struggle and fight to reach the surface to take back whats mine!
I've strayed
And lost my path
Cursed myself leaving me out of grasp
The more I rise, the more we fall
I can hear my masters call!

[Pre Chorus]
My hands are stained with the blood
Of the innocent
My heart encased in deep black
Cold and vacant
I have become, a figure, of everything I hated
My light has burnt out!

[Chorus]
I'm waiting
For the smoke to clear
So I can see the mirror
But all thats staring back at me
Is a killer
What have I done
What have I become
All this time I thought they were to blame
But I was just the same

[Bridge]
I need to release
This beast that's changing me

[Chorus]
I'm waiting
For the smoke to clear
So I can see the mirror
But all thats staring back at me
Is a killer
What have I done
What have I become
All this time I thought they were to blame
But I was just the same
But I was just the same
But I was just the same
