My Apocalypse

Escape the Fate · Dying is Your Latest Fashion [2006]

There's a place that I've found

As far as I can see

This place lies within

The depths of my dreams

In a garden surrounded

By fire and trees

Through the smoke a silhouette I can barely see

There's a man with an axe

Standing in the rain



Looked me straight in my eyes

This is what he had to say



Never fall asleep

You won't wake up

Destroy the guillotine

Before he does



I walk with shadows

(you have to find a better way)

I walk with shadows

(the questions I will never say)

Hiding from the gallows

(they keep me safe and sound)

So I walk in shadows

(the ways of burning down this house)



End transmission

The satellites are down

I need an earthquake

To shake this pity

Off the ground



Just don't trust these liars at the door

(you have to find a better way)

Kill the ones that have these answers for

(the questions I will never say)



Never fall asleep

You won't wake up

Destroy the guillotine

Before he does



I walk with shadows

(you have to find a better way)

I walk with shadows

(the questions I will never say)

Hiding from the gallows

(they keep me safe and sound)

So I walk in shadows

(the ways of burning down this house)



End transmission

The satellites are down

I need an earthquake

To shake this pity

Off the ground



All the vibrant colors I see

And the shades that fill the grey



Pain

The pain

Pain

The pain

Pain

The pain

Pain

The pain

Pain

[x2]



Hiding from the gallows

(you have to find a better way)

I walk with shadows

(the questions I will never say)

Hiding from the gallows

(they keep me safe and sound)

So I walk in shadows

(the ways of burning down this house)
