Vertrag Lyrics

He sat alone, his mind racing

He tried to keep his thoughts away from his life

If he'd have known of the cost of living

He would have gladly traded steps for a knife

He was the fallen, he was the beaten

He'd given everything for no happy end

He prayed for death when I found him alone

And he cried for a way, "God, bring me my escape"

Instead, a shadow laughed, and hissed his name

"I'm not your savior, but I feel your pain"

"Sign your name, and I'll take it away" (One of us)

Sign your name, and I swear they'll pay" (One of us)

She held her own when there were others

But when they left, she was a target again

Her eyes were swollen, her breaths were shallow

And still, she sat and wiped the blood from her skin

She was tethered, and she was shackled

She knew the cage she chose was not to be bent

So with a sigh, and a shudder, she cried to the sky

But a shadow called back in the end

"Sign your name, and I'll take it away" (One of us)

Sign your name, and I swear they'll pay" (One of us)

I am your anger, my name is chaos

I am the thoughts you never want to escape

I hear your falling, I see your struggle

I am the silent growl that knows your name

I am the darkened, I am the proud

I am everything you wish you could be

I take the broken and repay what is owed

I am all that you feel, the shaking cringe in your bones

Sign your name, and I'll take it away (One of us)

Sign your name, and I swear they'll pay (One of us)
