Destiny

[Verse 1]
Back in the day, when I was very young
They said I looked up to you, and you gave me a gun
Told them to throw me the bullets and set me free
Waiting for the day I'd turn to psychopathy
But what if I never pulled the trigger on you?
Would you pull it for me just to make the prophecy come true?
Nobody asked for my permission to ruin my life
They just told me to throw myself under the knife

[Chorus]
Cursed hymns are calling me
To exact my descent
Who am I without destiny?
My final end
I know that you wanted to save me
I saw the hope in your lies
But without a chosen promise I become lost
And wait to die
I'll die

[Verse 2]
Somebody in my head's been taunting me
Every second I decide to think I still can't see
That when the world is crumbling at my feet
I'm not above anyone
Not even myself causing me to bleed
Years later, your words still strike my core
Everybody wants me dead but I'm ready for an encore
Let me make it clear I didn't want this any more
Than you few wretches in this hallow driven war

[Chorus]
Cursed hymns are calling me
To exact my descent
Who am I without destiny?
My final end
I know that you wanted to save me
I saw the hope in your lies
But without a chosen promise I become lost
And wait to die
I'll die

[Bridge]
No one wants to talk to someone
Who overreacts as much as me
I tried so hard to make amends
With these broken people I tried to set free
But when you're living from the outside
You got to take some control for yourself
'Cause the world won't forgive you
No matter what, if you're destined for hell

[Chorus]
Cursed hymns are calling me
To exact my descent
Who am I without destiny?
My final end
I know that you wanted to save me
I saw the hope in your lies
But without a chosen promise I become lost
And wait to die
I'll die
