Lyrics

As my blood runs cold
Devoured by time
Was any of this worth it in the end?

These eyes are blind
In the end I face the dying light
Open your eyes to what lies behind
Liquid fire burns the morning sky

Now I see how easy
Cities burn
Lives are wasted
Build your walls strong or be taken by the sword

Such dishonor
A law unto yourself

As my blood runs cold
Devoured by time
Was any of this worth it in the end?

These eyes are blind
In the end I face the dying light
Open your eyes to what lies behind
Liquid fire burns the morning sky

Sensing the sunlight
Cold rain subsides
Nature only knows forward
Tyrants are always taken by the sword

Such dishonor
A law unto yourself

As my blood runs cold
Devoured by time
Was any of this worth it in the end?

These eyes are blind
In the end I face the dying light
Open your eyes to what lies behind
Liquid fire burns the morning sky

As we all wage war against monsters
We forget to take a closer look inside
Take a good look around you
This world, worth dying for?
This life, worth fighting for?

Carving a path through darkness
Casting every ember to the void
This world, worth dying for?
This life, worth fighting for?

If you turn back you will see no light

These eyes are blind
In the end I face the dying light
Open your eyes to what lies behind
Liquid fire burns the morning sky

Such dishonor
A law unto yourself

As my blood runs cold
Devoured by time
Was any of this worth it in the end?
