[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1: Brian Fair, Jon Donais]

As the axe comes crashing down

Dragging us beneath the ground

Abandoned here, you’re gone without a sound

All you’ve taken, all you’ve said

Still hear your voice inside my head

Beaten, broken down and left for dead

Leave me to die

[Pre-Chorus: Brian Fair]

No more denial

No more restraint

No more conscience

And I will seal your fate

[Chorus: Matt Bachand]

So close your eyes

And live in the unknown

Forsaken by the world

Your life has turned to stone

[Verse 2: Brian Fair]

Balance of your mind decays

Only flesh and bone remains

The fire of the afterlife awaits

[Pre-Chorus: Brian Fair, Matt Bachand]

No more denial

(No more) No more restraint

(No more) No more conscience

And I will seal your fate

Just close your eyes again

There’s no escape

Just close your eyes

Your life is mine to take

[Chorus: Matt Bachand, Brian Fair, Together]

So close your eyes (close your eyes)

And live in the unknown (the unknown)

Forsaken by the world

Your life has turned to stone

There’s no escape

[Bridge: Brian Fair]

Just close your eyes again

And I will seal your fate

[Guitar Solo]

[Pre-Chorus: Brian Fair, Matt Bachand]

So close your eyes

And live in the unknown

Surrender your free will

Your life has turned to stone

There’s no escaping this

[Chorus: Matt Bachand, Brian Fair, Together]

So close your eyes (close your eyes)

And live in the unknown (the unknown)

Forsaken by the world

Your life has turned to stone

There’s no escape
