Birth and the Burial - Act of Defiance

Cast into flame, you are the fire

Bridges, they burn

Your friends walk away from tour now

Debts from the past

Strangers return, promises sold

They’ve come to collect what you owe

Rest and repent your sins, it’s a feast for the dead

Heaven’s burning below

Your name on a tombstone

Your fate, it falls on deaf ears, with every unanswered prayer

Your reap what you sow

The birth and the burial

You’re bleeding out, buried aliv

It’s your last breath

You’re helped dig the hole that’s your grave

Sever the ties, leave them behind

You’ve tortured yourself

Haunted by your biggest mistake

No god will answer your call, you’re left to die on your own

Give yourself unto the earth, it’s best for everyone else

Fatal embrace, feed their desire, your cradle, it falls

Your firstborn will surely be blind

Mourning the loss, you are the sign, an unspoken curse

Secrets untold, come to life
