[eerie intro, soft piano] [verse] Piercing through my heart It pervades deep into my psyche Venomously vibrates through my veins Like hemlock from the ones who have betrayed [guitar breakdown] [verse] Gasping for air Choked by thick black smoke As I burn amongst the embers of my life My reward as I near the end of the perpetual paths of pain [chorus] Walking on a knife’s edge To commiserate my pain If I embrace the last release Will I miss its sweet torment [verse] Gurgling in the depths Ripped apart by murky waters Ancestors come to claim me And celebrate the generational curse [guitar breakdown] [verse] Asphyxia An elixir for this strife Crimson cascades fall again Sticky warmth turns cold [chorus] Walking on a knife’s edge To commiserate my pain If I embrace the last release Will I miss its sweet torment [bridge] As it poisons me I say “Hello” to my pain An old friend or an enemy I can’t tell So I greet it anyway [guitar solo] [chorus] Walking on a knife’s edge To commiserate my pain If I embrace the last release Will I miss its sweet torment [outro, dissonant piano]
