[Intro]

Fuck you all!


[Verse 1]

My redemption

Is knowing this will be over

My aggression

I fear I've lost control


[Pre-Chorus 1]

Who is this man I see?

Mirror reflects a stranger

Fist shatters the despair

Awake the pain to anger


[Chorus]

How do I close thine eyes of murder?

How do I close thine eyes of murder

Staring into me?


[Verse 2]

My obsession

Is dying, sinking me deeper

My depression

This world has disavowed


[Pre-Chorus 2]

Razor at wrist, I seethe

The flesh is peeled apart now

Gone is my faded dream

Failure I welcome in thou


[Chorus]

How do I close thine eyes of murder?

How do I close thine eyes of murder

Staring into me?


[Bridge]

This lifetime in sorrow

God let the angels die (The angels die)

This is our last goodbye (Our last goodbye)

In love and death, we cry (In death, we cry)

Our last goodbye

Go!


[Guitar Solo: Robb Flynn]


[Bridge 2]

No, no, no, no

No, no, no, no!


[Verse 3]

Spit in the face of loss

Coward, my own self-hatred

No more I bear this cross

Struggle, and rise from the dead


[Outro]

This lifetime in sorrow

God let the angels die (The angels die)

This is our last goodbye (Our last goodbye)

In love and death, we cry
