The Apparition

Once were warriors Through distant, unknown borders We traversed side by side A picture-perfect start Still, we knew in our hearts Troubled waters lie ahead

Your life's in disarray Yet we look the other way

A fire spreads A fire spreads Burning every single thing we built The match is lit

I am the apparition Loathe thy cerebral prison I am the apparition

A band of brothers Two decades deep Through thick and thin Quit shutting doors, just let us in

This burden's mine to bear Toxic, I will not share Scars carried on to my tomb

My life's in disarray Yet you look the other way

A fire spreads A fire spreads Burning every single thing we built The match is lit

I am the apparition Loathe thy cerebral prison I am the apparition I am the apparition A fortress carved in bone Impenetrable zone A solemn vow to spend my existence alone

So it ends

The sound of the siren It calls our name The blood of a thousand We cannot be tamed

The sound of the siren It calls our name The blood of a thousand We cannot be tamed, be tamed

Turmoil running through your veins Running through your head Empathetic, a constant conflict You've crossed the line, and we've reached our limit May your ghost find its former human form

Turmoil The sound of the siren It calls our name The blood of a thousand We cannot be tamed
