[Verse 1]

Horror, cataclysmic self-infliction

Look upon the aftermath and cower in despair

Your words have become a weapon

Fabricating hell from heaven

Your moral compass is but one of contradiction

A snake can shed its skin but still remains a snake

A blackened seed planted so carelessly

The truth can be distorted but still remains the same

Everything about this is wrong


[Verse 2]

I found myself frantically searching

For something that was never there

With the rejection I was forced to react

So I never looked back, I'm counting on that

Your actions bring only dishonour

Your cowardice nothing but shame

The world in your hands, your head in the sand

I bury your love with your name


[Chorus]

Obsidian tide

Carry me away

Into the endless night

Obsidian tide

Carry me away

Onto a better life

Obsidian tide


[Verse 3]

Horror, spreading lies and defecation

Your fragile wings were never meant to give you flight

Abuse and degradation, far beyond imagination

Now we've come undone, what have I become?

I'm dangerous


[Bridge]

The very thing that stands to define a parasite

Is its failure to survive without a host

The very life you had but never really chose to see

Is the thing your heart craves the most


[Chorus]

Obsidian tide

Carry me away

Into the endless night

Obsidian tide

Carry me away

Onto a better life

Obsidian tide
