Enlightened To Extinction

Those dead eyes see no empathy

They fail to feel, unable to believe

With nothing behind the gaze glaring out

Black roses wither for all who've been chosen



Reach inside the scar

Caress a weathered heart

Awoken by the blade

The mourning begins



Reach inside the scar

Caress a weathered heart

Awoken by the blade

The kiss of stainless steel



I had already buried you

There is nothing left to mourn

I had already buried you

I only kept the memories I loved



There is nothing else left to mourn

You've been enlightened to extinction

There's no last look into the past

You've been enlightened to extinction



That dead touch can't feel what've I've held

Unable to grasp just how I've dealt

In the darkest corner of your plight

Barely alive enough to reach towards the light



There is nothing else left to mourn

You've been enlightened to extinction

There's no last look into the past

You've been enlightened to extinction



Reach inside the scar

Caress a weathered heart

Awoken by the blade

The mourning begins



Reach inside the scar

Caress a weathered heart

Awoken by the blade

The kiss of stainless steel
