It’s been a long time in the chain
So I’m unlocking myself, unlocking myself
Tired of trying to run away
So I’m unlocking myself, unlocking myself
Preservation of the mirror in me
Hesitate, hesitate-tate, for little you see
Been waiting such a long time
Nothing, it seems to be
I wither in the tree dead
It’s been autumn for a long time
The leaves to supersede the vision that they have left
And now I’ll say it…
It’s been a long time in the chain
So I’m unlocking myself, unlocking myself
Tired of trying to run away
So I’m unlocking myself, unlocking myself
And if the beast gonna knock, bang bang
Better believe I will spit in his face
Man, I’ve spent a long time in these chains
So I’m unlocking myself, unlocking myself
Peace of mind, find a way
Hoist the anchor
Pull it back, ‘fore the heart attack finds it’s place under the waves
Undead mind
A bitter slave
Rise up
Split the ocean
Take flight
Sometimes our thoughts are like the waves
Crash and bring the overflow
And I can’t help myself
It’s like existing on the ocean floor
Light above
Face down
Leagues below
You know now…
Nothing, it seems to be
I wither in the tree dead
It’s been autumn for a long time
The leaves to supersede the vision that they have left
And now I’ll say it…
It’s been a long time in the chain
So I’m unlocking myself, unlocking myself
Tired of trying to run away
So I’m unlocking myself, unlocking myself
And if the beast gonna knock, bang bang
Better believe I will spit in his face
Man, I’ve spent a long time in these chains
So I’m unlocking myself
Oh I’m unlocking myself, unlocking myself
Oh I’m unlocking myself, unlocking myself
And if the beast gonna knock, bang bang
Better believe I will spit in his face
Man, I’ve spent a long time in these chains
So I’m unlocking myself, unlocking myself

Heaven On High
Black sky, the birds, they fly I see it all, we flee it all We flock together They move past The lighthouse flies south, the clouds Can see the ground, can hear the sound …
Malevolent
Abandoned space of forgotten faces Scream-soaked halls, the resting place left Pictures framed, but the time erased them Walls rot out A home forsaken A portrait bleeding …
