Summer Dying – Friend Or Foe

Verse 1:

Emptiness ablaze in the sky – in your eyes

Foretold a future, what holds mine – an empty man

Beginning a journey without destination – forever blind

I threw it all away today – my life means nothing anyway

Pre-Chorus:

Challenge what the future holds, thousand years these stories told

Growing black, a nasty mold rotting in your heart

Buried world at six feet deep, welcome to eternal sleep

Herded like a flock of sheep, unto the void of death

Chorus:

Blackness, can’t see what you’ve done to me? Setting free…insanity

Broke, a lost man, where I stand, I can’t see, I can’t see the truth

Verse 2:

Like an apple of an eye, the lies – inside

I can see the world so clear right now – what lies?

Staring through the eyes of my father – a blinded man

Leaving what you’ll never know behind – an empty child

(Repeat Pre)

(Repeat Chorus)

Bridge:

You left me here all alone, I banish thee

This child inside your life, this child won’t set you free

Distinction of hate, decisions I create

Distinction of hate, let it all set you free

Father, relentless rejection – in the end you’ll always be my foe

Mother, relentless infection – in the end you’ll always be my foe (x2)

Verse 3:

I will never forgive or forget – without regret

You leave me blind and leave me deaf – innocence

Too young to know the fucking truth – stripped of my youth

So now the blame is all on you – on you

(Repeat Pre)

(Repeat Chorus x2)
