Bete Noire Lyrics

A dark descension leading me through lies of nowhere

The trials taking me through unfermented hearts

Upon a burning altar rests a figure lined with no hair

I'm dragged away from home and further from the start

On the hill of the lies I look around and surmise

That everything around me failing is because of my

Ability to encapsulate the birth and the

Beginning of a fascist state where I am all alone and say that oh

I don't wanna deal the payback (payback)

But I am a needled haystack (haystack)

Pushing through the pain and suffering while nurturing internal strife

The bete noire

It keeps me up all through the

Night

A burning scar

Forever buried in my mind

The bete noire

A lasting image out of

Sight

A shooting star

Has me relinquishing the fight

The earth above me caving in while I am living

The air becoming thinner vanishes away

The suffocation anxiously awaiting the beginning

Of my new life within a claustrophobic grave

Souls depart

Part of the lifeless circle

Heavy hearts will weigh the loss

And carry on to farther

Souls collect in the ground

Joining life as one collective

Careful with your choice

Now

Fear we feel inside

Hinders us all through our lives

Fear we feel inside

There will be no compromise

Yeah

The bete noire

It keeps me up all through the

Night

A burning scar

Forever buried in my mind
