A tearless stare encased by fear like a thread my heart is torn and ripped right from my soul with no control Suits in disguise then fades to red brings a blackened sky to fall and make you very cold while you grow old Gone whithout a trace (gone) it's left me chained and bound my heart you thrust a dagger my life and dreams are shattered and left in tyranny Rapture or pain you spill my blood and take my life away rapture or pain all adversions still remain You've realized you're not alone they've took your breath of life and left your mind to unfold lifeless and cold Your thoughts erased it's death you taste your searing face it hides the scars of love Gone whithout a trace (gone) it's left me chained and bound my heart you thrust a dagger my life and dreams are shattered and left in tyranny Rapture or pain you spill my blood and take my life away rapture or pain all adversions still remain Rapture or pain you spill my blood and take my life away rapture or pain all adversions still remain
