Old Scratch Lyrics

Sometimes solitude isn't always right

My head is filled with things I can't deny

How much longer must I wait

For that I dread, anticipate

Demons, demons

You cannot repent

All I am surrounded by

They cannot repent

They have dead eyes, gray skin, their fears give them pause

They are trapped, they are recruited to our cause

For some it is heaven

For others a hell

Oh this place bothers

I can always tell

For I am with them

And they with me

We only have each other

Melancholy company

We are damned, and we are the lost

And we are free but what is the cost

A price we paid, revealed too late

Our rebel fire, replaced with cold, numb, and pain

The fires still burn so why is it cold?

Sometimes the other side is different than we're told

When freedom mocks us with its lies

And our dream fades out of sight

What are we left with and who is to blame?

What was once pride has turned to shame

Sinners or saints is there a difference?

When we all pay the penance

A quick judgement is all it takes

A hero to villain with swift debate

Demons Demons

Do you not regret?

All I am surrounded by

Have you no regret?

We are lost, we are damned

With our souls turned to sand

In our home and tomb, all rolled into one

And of course, we cannot forget

Our Father, our Creator, He who put us here

He knew we would do what we did and that was it

Hollow salvation, filled with endless perdition

Oh and these angels all around

If they would talk, the stories they would tell

If God loves us then why is there a hell?

A love severance by willful silence
