Lyrics by Kaien Von Rode © [Verse 1] Welcome to my world, where life is a battle, yeah, life is a battle Every breath is a rattle, hollow in the saddle. it's hollow Concrete walls talk back, tell me get your bread up, While the ghosts of the past got me staring with my head up. staring with my head up Lost everything I love, now I'm just a statue in the rain, Pouring gasoline on memories just to numb the pain. numb the pain No handouts, no favors, just the static in the air, I found the light was just a flare in a world of despair. [Chorus] Pain and anger, it’s all that I got! Lost everything, now I’m tied in a knot! Welcome to my world, it’s cold and it’s gray! Burning bridges just to light up the way! Yeah, I lost everything, (everything)! Welcome to the rage I bring, (the rage I bring)! [Verse 2] Look me in the eyes, you see the ash where the fire was, Moving like a predator, I don’t need a buzz. Lost the house, lost the kin, lost the skin I was in, Now the only way to play is to let the darkness win. Battle scars on the spirit, ain't no way to heal 'em, Got a heart of iron, trying not to feel 'em. Life is a battle, and I'm the last one standing, In a desert of the soul, I'm the only thing landing. [Chorus] Pain and anger, it’s all that I got! Lost everything, now I’m tied in a knot! Welcome to my world, it’s cold and it’s gray! Burning bridges just to light up the way! Yeah, I lost everything, (everything)! Welcome to the rage I bring, the rage I bring! [Verse 3] Look at the empire turning to dust, turning to dust A heart made of wires and covered in rust. covered in rust Walking through fire, I don't feel the heat, Marching in time with a dead heartbeat. a dead heartbeat The shadows are whispering, calling my name, Dancing alone in this beautiful flame. beautiful flame No more illusions, we're fading to black, The bridges are burned and there's no looking back. [Bridge] I'm empty... just a shell with a pulse. Welcome to my world. (Everything is gone.) [Chorus - Finale] Pain and anger, it’s all that I got! Lost everything, now I’m tied in a knot! Welcome to my world, it’s cold and it’s gray! Burning bridges just to light up the way! Yeah, I lost everything, (everything)! Welcome to the rage I bring, (the rage I bring)! [Outro] Welcome to my world. Welcome to the battle. Nothing left to lose. [End]
