(Verse 1)
The sky is bleeding rust and ash,a permanent eclipse,
No room for prayer or memory upon these dying lips.
The world has shed its colors,now it's only gray and red,
A symphony of static screaming inside my head.
I forgot the taste of water,I forgot my mother's face,
There is no before or after,just this unforgiving place.
(Chorus)
In this No Man's Land,the only truth is simple: kill or die,
Beneath a hollowed-out heaven,under a deadened sky.
There is no cause to fight for,and there is no flag to save,
Just the animal that wakes to see another sunless day.
There is no pride in victory,no shame within the fall,
Just the quiet understanding that this is all there is.That's all.
(Verse 2)
My hands are stained with things I can't recall,and never will,
My soul's a vacant barracks,cold and still.
I move from cratered building to the trenches in the mud,
Numb to the dying whispers,numb to the smell of blood.
The concept of a future is a childish,distant dream,
There's only me,my weapon, and the next fleeting scream.
(Chorus)
In this No Man's Land,the only truth is simple: kill or die,
Beneath a hollowed-out heaven,under a deadened sky.
There is no cause to fight for,and there is no flag to save,
Just the animal that wakes to see another sunless day.
There is no pride in victory,no shame within the fall,
Just the quiet understanding that this is all there is.That's all.
(Bridge)
Sometimes a face will flash,a ghost from a lost time,
A fragment of a melody,a forgotten nursery rhyme.
It doesn't bring me sorrow,it doesn't bring me pain,
It's just a piece of data,rusting in the rain.
The man I was has perished in this chemical-freeze,
There are no more emotions.There is only the release.
(Outro)
Breathe in.
Aim.
Squeeze.
The echo fades.
No joy.
No hate.
Just the weight of the gun.
And the wait for the day...
...the final round is done.
This is all there is.
This is all.
