Cedar's Descent Lyrics

I'll accept the world I know is gone

When you're punished for what I've become

A martyr! So plagued by disease

That I've forgot who I used to be

You've broken me

So, how am I supposed to now move on

When you don't know just what you have done?

For eons I fought in your name

Now I'm nothing if I'm not in pain and plagued by shame

And the only thing I feel is this grief

This all-consuming agony

And I only ever find you to blame

But I'm haunted by this unsung shame

That has the devil calling out for my life

Stabbing darkness through my heart like a knife

If I cared for you, I'd tell you sorry

For the ugliness that's being borne from me

Now everything I ever loved is gone

Either ruined, or been ruin's cause

I can't find a reason to be

The only thing I want is reprieve from agony

(Your selfishness has come to rear its head

Is it murder? Or torment instead?

I'm ending this sick tragedy

And taking you down here with me)

I'll find my peace when you are finally gone

All this anger has made me undone

I salvaged the whole world for you

But now I'll dig my grave and entomb the forest too

(But reproach lingers like vermin in my mind

And it kills me to hear what it cries

I just want this pain to abate

To remember how to feel okay)

And the only thing I feel is this grief

This soul-consuming agony

And I only ever find you to blame

But I'm haunted by this unsung shame

That has the devil calling out for my life

Stabbing darkness through my heart like a knife

If I cared for you, I'd tell you sorry

For the ugliness that has been borne from me

I'm begging Cedar, listen to me

This isn't how it needs to be

I don't know what there is I can do

To relieve some of this pain from you

And now your fate lies like a bane in my hands

I'm so scared of failing you again

I don't want to face this scourge on my own

But the whole world is now weighed on me alone
