The Noose

Well our souls are all mistaken
In the same misguided way,
We all end up forsaken,
We're just choosing our own way

The future now incinerates before our very eyes
And leaves us with emptiness of no more tries

Well our visions of glory now have spiraled down the drain,
The best of our intentions now come crashing down in flames,
The depths of our despair we are unable to contain,
It's shallow living

The noose is falling
And all my friends are crawling,
The noose is falling
And enemies are rising,
A truth appalling,
Our maker comes a calling,
The noose is falling
And enemies are rising

Well the traces from yesteryear are burning in the dust,
Your bruises are reminders of naivety and trust,
You're only feeling stronger 'cause your body's getting numb
Now I lay you down,
Put the coins in your eyes
And blow the candles out

The noose is falling
And all my friends are crawling,
The noose is falling
And enemies are rising,
A truth appalling,
Our maker comes a calling
The noose is falling
And enemies are rising

The noose is falling
And all my friends are crawling,
The noose is falling
And enemies are rising,
A truth appalling,
Our maker comes a calling,
The noose is falling
And enemies are rising

No more! No more! Nothing!
No more! No more! Ever!
No more! No more!

The noose is falling
And all my friends are crawling,
The noose is falling
And enemies are rising,
A truth appalling,
Our maker comes a calling,
The noose is falling
And enemies are rising

The noose is falling
And all my friends are crawling,
The noose is falling
And enemies are rising
