[Verse 1]

And I try to forget
But it’s only for a moment

Omen
Crossed out
It’s an omen

Door locked
Still I’m cold yeah
Dark eyes are a warning
Omen

[Verse 2]
I can’t hold on for a sеcond longer
The feeling gets strongеr
I’m running out of luck
And I can’t ignore it
The mask fell down

Burn it to the
Burn, burn
Burn it to the ground

Love I almost quit
Tried to lose the pain
Found my own remains
Everytime I lost
The sign was clear as day
This isn’t what I need
Not a game I’ll play
[Chorus]
Omen
Crossed out
It’s an omen
Door locked
Still I’m cold yeah
Dark eyes are a warning
Stay low but I’m falling
Crossed out
It’s an omen
Door locked
Still I’m cold yeah
Dark eyes are a warning
Omen
Omen
