Trivium - Throes of Perdition lyrics

Blindfolded and gagged, stood waiting
With the whole world: my firing squad
At the edge of the world, I'm faced out
Staring the sun right in the eye

Vultures circle above
Hyenas mocking the kill
Excrement drooling down their chins
Atop the cliffs, I look down
Into the starving hell-mouth
The rabid foam crashes hard on it's teeth

Their mouths salivate
Fantasizing my gruesome ending
This world looks down upon
A man who can stand on his own two feet

As they're feeding their guns, "Ready, aim"
They say I'll live if I die for their cause
Living under the rule of
Fellow Cro-Magnon fool
They fear who leads and will
Kill to stay still

Their mouths salivate
Fantasizing my gruesome ending
This world looks down upon
A man who can stand on his own two feet
Without eating from their claws

Life feels like hell should
But this hell's so cold
Pull another knife out
Stick it with the rest of them
When my back is full
Turn me around to face it
Life feels like hell should
But this hell's so cold
Pull another knife out
Stick it with the rest of them
When my back is full
Turn me around to face it

Such melancholy, burning the stars from skies
As we melt
Drowning inside their bloodied eyes
Hope is ravaged, running from lacerations
Sob so heavily, we choke, then we die

Die die
Die die

Die die
Die die

Life feels like hell should
But this hell's so cold
Pull another knife out
Stick it with the rest of them
When my back is full
Turn me around to face it
Life feels like hell should
But this hell's so cold
Pull another knife out
Stick it with the rest of them
When my back is full
Turn me around to face it
Life feels like hell should
But this hell's so cold
Pull another knife out
Stick it with the rest of them
When my back is full
Turn me around to face it
Life feels like hell should
But this hell's so cold
Pull another knife out
Stick it with the rest of them
When my back is full
Turn me around to face it go

Sob so heavily, we choke, then we die
