the great oppressor

Singer:darkest hour

you hear that hidden voice

it tells you

you're never alone

you know the price you'll have to pay

to stay where you are

if anything compels you

to shut out the sun

i'll be there in that never after

where everyone is gone

there's not a thought

and not a law put into place

to halt the fall

of human creation

we'll never see and never understand

just why we are the human intention

i know you're living a double life

out of my mind like you're out of my sight

reminded

rewired

fought envied

desired

i fell in the fire that night

i'll see you there for the rest of your life

until the end of all time

i see the borders and they tell me

you've never been free

and every voice that's screaming out

vegging for release

there's not a thought

and not a law put into place

to halt the fall

of human creation

we'll never see and never understand

just why we are the human intention

i know you're living a double life

out of my mind like you're out of my sight

reminded

rewired

fought envied

desired

i fell in the fire that night

i'll see you there for the rest of your life

the great oppressor buried in a glow so red

living dead

we want what we can never

levitated

ravenous

reanimated

roaming

clawing the earth

a better ending

a slave

not a slave

i don't beg for forgiveness

or exist in another's head

i won't give in

i'm the passion of someone

who's never given a shit

i'm the mistake of your life

that tear-soaked embrace

our one final moment in time and space
