“They say the Man in Black died of heartbreak
All I’m feeling is remorse for all my mistakes.”
I feel my bones dwell beneath my skin
No time for heroes, a violence within
I turn my head to the horizon
In a land with no setting sun
All else is lost when the last knight falls
“Remember when I said I was in your animal mind?
I’m releasing the animal.”
Can you feel the crushing weight
Of everyone you tried to save?
Do you lay in this homemade grave
To confront every mistake you’ve made?
This hell you’ve walked inside your mind;
You’re getting lost inside an angel’s eyes
Block me out, and shut me down, put me in the ground
Burn the den of the wolf down
The wolves surround me
The snake entraps me
I gave myself a facade of a smile
Because it gave me somewhere to hide
Bearing all, how broken am I?
Do I deserve every moment of exile?
I feel myself near the end
All hate is gone, all is left is regret
They say the Man in Black died of heartbreak?
All I’m feeling is remorse for all my mistakes
(Son born of the animal mind
Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide
I’ve come to seal you from the mind you stole
Like a kingdom of cards, you’ll fold.)
Can you hear the devil calling my name?
Born to live and die by the flame
He plays tricks on the mind, I swear I’m sane
I’ll make peace with this hell you made
Out of one cage and into the next
From lion’s den, to the hornet’s nest
I was the hatred you grew in your head
Now I’m something even I detest
This seal won’t let me die
It just blocks me from your mind
But I’ll always be there
Chained up behind your eyes
The wolves surround me
So take this life from me
No matter how tall my throne of bodies shall be
I can’t reach the sun, and it will never reach me
They called me Sherlock Bones;
Hellhound to the Devil’s Throne
