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)
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
