[Verse 1]
Oh, man, I can't believe that you did what they said you did
And to this day I've still gotta say that in my mind I question it
I wish I knew what you had meant before you went
And left me wondering to just an echo of your voice
(Listen)
(Listen)
(Listen)
(Listen)

[Verse 2]
Now I wait to take my turn to bleed like a kid playing with a razor blade
And wonder if I have the balls at all or if I'm gonna be afraid
Where are you? What do you think? 'Cause I'm not sure when knocking at Death's door
If I will be welcomed in or be left alone outside

[Pre-Chorus]
[non-English chant]

[Chorus]
I hear the sound of a heart from the shadow in the dark
Waiting for the poison to hit its mark (Listen, my son)
I see the darkness surround the shape on the ground
The killer straight up and a body face down (Firstborn, last one)
I hear the din of the screams, sorrow in streams
The smell of farewell and gasoline (Listen, my son)
I see a heart set free and my legacy
Hear a voice from a shadow that is beckoning me (Firstborn, last one)
[Verse 3]
I guess there comes a point when you think to yourself
"This isn't worth it, it isn't worth it"
And now I feel what you felt, and now I feel what you felt inside, brother
And now I feel what you felt: "This isn't worth it, it isn't worth it"
(Listen)
(My son)
(Firstborn, last one)

[Pre-Chorus]
[non-English chant]

[Chorus]
I hear the sound of a heart from the shadow in the dark
Waiting for the poison to hit its mark (Listen, my son)
I see the darkness surround the shape on the ground
The killer straight up and a body face down (Firstborn, last one)
I hear the din of the screams, sorrow in streams
The smell of farewell and gasoline (Listen, my son)
I see a heart set free and my legacy
Hear a voice from a shadow that is beckoning me (Firstborn, last one)
(Listen)

[Bridge 1]
I wish it didn't
I wish it didn't
I wish it didn't
I wish it didn't end this way
I wish it didn't
I wish it didn't
I wish it didn't
I wish it didn't end this way
I wish it didn't
I wish it didn't
I wish it didn't
I wish it didn't end this way
I wish it didn't
I wish it didn't
I wish it didn't
I wish it didn't end this way
I wish it didn't
I wish it didn't
I wish it didn't
I wish it didn't end this way
I wish it didn't
I wish it didn't
I wish it didn't
I wish it didn't end this way
[Verse 4]
Live a life in hell through a mortal shell, asphyxiating smell
For a crime, lifetime, imagination locked in a cell
And to the other firstborn I see the same scene that must play over in your mind
And now how much more I'm sure it's fucked with your head just like it's fucked up mine

[Bridge 2]
Listen
My son
Firstborn
Last one
The message you sent out to me
I cannot change what's meant to be
The message you sent out to me
I cannot change what's meant to be
(What am I supposed to do now?)

[Final Pre-Chorus]
[non-English chant]

[Chorus]
I hear the sound of a heart from the shadow in the dark
Waiting for the poison to hit its mark
I see the darkness surround the shape on the ground
The killer straight up and a body face down
I hear the din of the screams, sorrow in streams
The smell of farewell and gasoline (Listen)
I see a heart set free and my legacy
Hear a voice from a shadow that is beckoning me (My son)
I hear the sound of a heart from the shadow in the dark
Waiting for the poison to hit its mark (Listen, my son)
I see the darkness surround the shape on the ground
The killer straight up and a body face down (Firstborn, last one)
I hear the din of the screams, sorrow in streams
The smell of farewell and gasoline (Listen, my son)
I see a heart set free and my legacy
Hear a voice from a shadow that is beckoning me (Firstborn, last one)
(Firstborn)
You are the last one (Firstborn)
