phantom limb

you were a slave

i'm a slave too

we all do

what the master

tells us to do

the hammer so heavy

the work is so hard

the chains that bound us together

left us all scarred

the burden is greater

since we lost your voice

still they hate us

as if we have a choice

it's not about money

it's not about fame

we can never stop

gotta do it again and again

will we ever kill again?

shed the blood of men

i can feel you

like a phantom limb

will you ever scream again?

your battle hymn

i can feel you

like a phantom limb

you were a soldier

i'm a soldier too

we committed crimes

like soldiers do

no i fight on

in dark mail you're clad

but why can't they see you?

my pale comrade

i hear their voices

how dare i speak?

i have no choice

so hoarse and so weak

alone in the spotlight

your shadow is long

all the way to the grave

the halls echo with your songs

will we ever kill again?

spill the blood of men

i can feel you

like a phantom limb

will you ever scream again?

your battle hymn

i can feel you

like a phantom limb

the road is long and the road is hard

on a monster in a band

but the toll it took was so much more

than we had ever planned

the world has never looked so dark

the pain has never felt so bad

is it wrong to try to go on

when it's all we ever had

will you ever rise again?

lights growing dim

i can feel you

like a phantom limb

will i ever laugh again?

world looks so grim

i can feel you

like a phantom limb
