MM1.3.5-A: Marked for Death (Requiem) (L58)

[Intro] [Spoken:] "I reject this endless cycle..." [Spoken:] "I reject the bottom line..." [Spoken:] "I reject this dark revival..." [Spoken:] "I refuse to say..." [Spoken:] "It's fine." [Verse 1] Oh, my love you've made it crystal clear That you believe the worst of me. If I had known you'd wither here, Then I'd have set you free... At least, I'd like to think as much... But maybe I'm a fraud. I tried to move the stars, and such... They said I was a god. But little do they know... I'd cast them all so far below... Drowning in the undertow... Just to split the sky in two... For you... My love, you know it's true... So what am I to do? Oh, I choke on the fumes... Each time you breathe anew... [Bridge] [Spoken:] "You respected my decision..." [Spoken:] "So infected and despised..." [Spoken:] "While I dissected your incisions..." [Spoken:] "So very many..." [Spoken:] "Many times." [Pre-Chorus] Oh- What have I done? I made your sutures come undone. Oh- Your colours start to run... Your picture fading from the frame like-- Three-- Two-- One-- [Chorus] No--! I refuse to let it-- Go--! No--! Stop--! Watch the curtain start to-- Drop--! Stop--! Our world in ashes just like-- All-- The-- Rest-- Who knew that we were always-- Marked-- For-- Death? [Verse 2] I tore my room to tatters... The day you walked away... Every mirror that lay shattered... Mocking shadows on my face... I feel the scorn begin to rise... A cancer festered deep inside... And I begin to realize... It's me. It's etched in everything I see-- Bereft of what you meant to me-- And now the edges start to bleed-- And I... Despise... Those pretty little lies... All dressed up in shades of white... Oh, I feel the hate inside... Every time I hear your cry... [Bridge] [Spoken:] "In the name of all your glory..." [Spoken:] "I alight this burning sky..." [Spoken:] "Behold, the ending of a story..." [Spoken:] "So tragic and..." [Spoken:] "Sublime." [Pre-Chorus] Oh- What have you done? You made the future come undone. Oh- My colours start to run... My picture bleeding in the frame like-- Three-- Two-- One-- [Chorus] No--! I refuse to let it-- Go--! No--! Stop--! Watch the curtain start to-- Drop--! Stop--! My world in ashes just like-- All-- The-- Rest-- Who knew that I was always-- Marked-- For-- Death? [Breakdown] I gave you all my darkness... I gave you all my light... At times, I was quite heartless... At others, not quite right... But now, I see... Oh, yes, it's right in front of me-- Almost too perfect to believe-- I have to set you free... And yet... And yet... Oh... [Pre-Chorus] Oh- What have I done? I made my sutures come undone. Oh- The colours start to run... My picture screaming in the frame like-- Three-- Two-- One-- [Chorus] No--! I refuse to let it-- Go--! No--! Stop--! Watch the curtain start to-- Drop--! Stop--! Your world in ashes just like-- All-- The-- Rest-- Who knew that you were always-- Marked-- For-- Death? [Outro] [Spoken:] "If the road ahead is ash, then..." [Spoken:] "Let us cease to play pretend..." [Spoken:] "Leave the story in the past, and..." [Spoken:] "Accept that it's..." [Spoken:] "The End." [END]
