Slaine - Legend Of The Fall lyrics

Out of everybody, you were who I hated most
A fucking grown man who's afraid of ghosts
All those secrets you could only
Find a way to cloak
All that venom laced in everything
You'd say to folks
Drinking and laughing with that
Pathetic parade of jokes
Great insults for a guy sitting
With a plate of coke
With a wife and kid at home
How could you betray 'em both?
For these stupid whores
Where's your loyalty? You made an oath
Oh! Look at the results of a
Lost soul sowing his oats
In a sea full of fucking
Sharks rowing his boat
With a hole in it plus it's dark
You ain't got nowhere to go
And so, you threw away every gift you had
For another bag, 'nother fifth, two a day
Sad, all those opportunities that you had
Peoplе would kill for, you threw in the trash
Low self еsteem, misconstrue it as brash
Your old selfish dream and that ruinous wrath
That chews you in half day to
Day on a regular basis
You just run the other way
Whenever you face this fact
And I'm getting so sick of
Your face in the mirror
There no place where it's clearer than there
Going zero to here in an instant
Running on instinct
Can't get your dreams and
Your nightmares in sync

Those ghosts talk to me in my head
Yeah, they're still there
No they're not dead
And there was so much blood to be shed
But, I could never kill them all
Prayers for rain to wash away
But no, Heaven never calls
We stay trapped in yesterday
And that's the legend of the fall

Taking a look at you is difficult
Creature in his cups is ugly
Too high to keep reaching for the stuff
Unlovely off the hinges, out on the fringes
Outsider out for revenge and vengeance
The war never ends
It spins in the winds and trenches
Sensing the bloodshed
It begins and it ends with
Regrets you had had
Too many things to mention
All those ghosts in the past
Are a grim contingent
But what's fueling the engine?
There's no fooling pretending
No principles among this hard-knock
School we're attending
You're willing to partake in any
Rule that you're bending
This land of the heartbreak where
Nobody remembers your name
Unless you king or menace, the same
Between Heaven and Hell
I had seen the pendulum swang
Watched the hope float away in
Ten inches of rain so is it dope show today
Or penances and pain? yeah, I seen it all
Everything you ever been through
It all happened how it's supposed to
It was all essential
All the things that you endured
The bottom you descent to
It's time to let go of that past
Stop being sentimental
So I forgive you for all the
Shit that you lived through
For all the shit that was done to you
Everything that you did too
Melting a cold heart and stepping
Out of that igloo emerges a good man
But, you was a good kid too

Those ghosts talk to me in my head
Yeah, they're still there
No they're not dead
And there was so much blood to be shed
But, I could never kill them all
Prayers for rain to wash away
But no, Heaven never calls
We stay trapped in yesterday
And that's the legend of the fall
