[Intro]
Free
Your mind
From your pain
Death is not the end
[Verse 1]
Wounds in my mind
The raging train left me behind
Blood's all I see
War's eminent brutality
Lost in darkness
Worlds intertwined
Reality seems out of sight
Blood's all I see
War's sycophant catastrophe
[Pre-Chorus]
Lost in sadness
Dying from the madness
[Chorus]
Breathe through my final breath
Fear of a never-ending trail of tears
Death is not the end
Blood all over your hands
Guilt preserves the pain, and I can't make amends
Take that final breath
For this death is not the end
[Verse 2]
Dig deep within
The chains of fear arе weakening
Pain as the kеy
To rise above the suffering
[Pre-Chorus]
Lost in madness
Climb out of the darkness
[Chorus]
Breathe through my final breath
Fear of a never-ending trail of tears
Death is not the end
Blood all over your hands
Guilt preserves the pain, and I can't make amends
Catch that final breath
Mortal death is near
[Bridge]
Surf the waves and do not fear
Reinforce the pilot flame
See through the lies
Break through this sphere
Lift the veil, find liberty
Trust yourself, wipe off your tears
Eliminate the toxic shame
Be who you are, you're almost there
Face the truth, relief is near
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
Overthrow the inner state that pulls you down
Release all of the pain
And face your sorrows
[Pre-Chorus]
Lost in sadness
Dying from the madness
Lost in vastness
Killing for a conquest
[Chorus]
Breathe through my final breath
Fear of a never-ending trail of tears
Death is not the end
Blood all over your hands
Guilt broke you down for all those countless years
Catch that final breath
Mortal death is near
Breathe through my final breath
Bear no more of these burdens, as you'll see
Death is not the end
Death is not the end
Catch that final breath
Death is not the end
You'll understand
[Outro]
Your essence will remain
Don't evade, embrace your pain
End your suffering
Clear the sky, the end is near
Eternal as you are
Don't evade, accept your fate
Embrace the end as it is near
Inhale the air, you're finally free
Be free
