blood of the martyrs - red death lyrics

[verse 1]
peace in death, they say
but how can that be?
peace in death
a dreamless sleep is only realized as peace
when perceived in the morning

death has no morning
and though our bodies may turn to dust
and our lives taken in cosmic decay
our minds remain our own, remain free
but this is not peace
as they say

[chorus]
death waits for no one
the universe claims all
my bones and flesh the first to fall
death waits for no one

yet as our sh+lls wither
to the ravages of time
our minds have no limits
as long as death is denied

[verse 2]
if this is peace
then i’ll take decay
so let the worms eat away
for nothing can take what’s here to stay
our thoughts
our minds
our self survives
our being outlives
what’s left behind
what’s left behind
what’s left behind

[bridge 1]
for in the end, it is not what fate befalls
we have no choice
we will lose it all
but at the end of all things i will not fear death
for there is no fear in what cannot be realized

at the end of all things i will not fear death
there is no fear, there is no fear

[bridge 2 + spoken word]
dead skin and dead dreams, i bear death daily, my frailties and failures, my piecemeal decay, all shrapnel shards in my spirit, a slow motion transforming me into a stained glass mosaic of my own inadequacy. this decay is the promise of flesh++the implicit tsunami onslaught bass line of this cosmic dirge. fear is a b+st+rd puppet master, demanding i dance to my own doom, but i refuse. enough of my life has eroded. i sever the strings of the marionette. i claw towards the light. i want to live with no regrets. fear can rot. death can’t have me

[chorus]
death waits for no one
the universe claims all
my bones and flesh the first to fall
death waits for no one

yet as our sh+lls wither
to the ravages of time
our minds have no limits
as long as death is denied
[outro]
death can’t have me
and though my body may wither with time
my mind has no limits
as long as death is denied
