Death awaits
Eyes wide open
Can't seem to accept my fate

At the gates
Too late to decide if I should
Run or stay

Run away
Run away

I can't remember when it cracked but
Here we are now
When did the world fade to black?
(When did it all fade to black)
Is it a virus or a stroke?
Have I just been lost in my own head for too long?
Dancing shadows behind my back made me
Paranoid

What if I learned to live like the rest of them
Catch my breath
Kill the blaze till there's nothing left
Gotta deal with it, things will never be the same
What if I was the problem, what if I changed?
Find my place, get a fresh start or seal my grave
Cloud of despair rain, above my head
A forever nightmare wide awake

Agony
All along the path I'm walking
Irony
The more I hurt, the more I like it

And when the sun goes down on the horizon line
Watch for the signs
Death awaits

Mountains of locusts as far as eye can see
Is it a worldwide plague or do they follow me?
I am both the hunter and the prey

What if I learned to live like the rest of them
Catch my breath
Kill the blaze till there's nothing left
Gotta deal with it, things will never be the
Same
What if I was the problem, what if I changed?
Find my place, get a fresh start or seal my grave
Cloud of despair rain, above my head
A forever nightmare wide awake

Death awaits

    My Interpretation

    I think this is about facing the inevitable that we all must face our own mortality. We must all prepare to meet our maker one day, there's no escaping that fact.
