As I Lay Dying
The Blinding of False Light
[Intro]
I see now... I see
Through the veil of expectation
I see now... I see
That conformity is betrayal
[Verse 1]
Betrayal of those who are forgotten
Yet vision alone furthers our blame
Unless followed by transformation
It is pointless to be given sight
Without the hope of our reaction
We overlook the purpose of our eyes
[Chorus]
Now is our chance
To breathe without tyranny
Released from the blinding
Of false light (Blinding of false light)
Now is our chance
To breathe without tyranny
In weakness, we are freed
[Post-Chorus]
I see now... I see
That conformity is betrayal
[Verse 2]
With empty eyes
I've looked ahead (Ahead)
With clarity
I now look back
[Chorus]
Now is our chance
To breathe without tyranny
Released from the blinding
Of false light (Blinding of false light)
Now is our chance (Our chance)
To breathe without tyranny
In weakness, we are freed
[Post-Chorus]
Yeah!
[Bridge 1]
I admit my failure
Opacity has dulled my senses
Conformity (Conformity)
Controlled by lifeless vices
Oh! Yeah!
Covetousness (Covetousness)
Disguised as ambition
[Bridge 2]
But now it ends
But now it ends
But now it ends
But now it ends
Not with defeat but determination
[Refrain]
We are freed
Yeah!
[Chorus]
Now is our chance
To breathe without tyranny
Released from the blinding
Of false (False) light (Light)
Now is our chance
Now is our chance
In weakness, we are freed
