Admit defeat
The buzzing won’t ever stop
In the trench, in the rot
Plead with God, ’cause it’s all you got
Hell has no end
Hate has no bounds
You’re breathing
But the center’s falling out
Blood in the leaves
Hand over mouth
Won’t hear your screams
While the center’s falling out
No one will weep
And the agony won’t be discreet
The horrors proceed
And your legacy can’t be redeemed
Hell has no end
Hate has no bounds
You’re breathing
But the center’s falling out
Blood in the leaves
Hand over mouth
Won’t hear your screams
While the center’s falling out
I wish you nothing
The pain grows in misery’s bed
While the center is falling out
Through the cracks in the pale white
I watch you suffer
And do nothing
And with a clutching grip for hope
Let me take you back to where you’re from
Eye for an eye
I earned my stripes
I run in your mind
Eye for an eye
I earned my stripes
I run in your mind
