Worsen - Cursed To Witness Life lyrics



Tracks



01. Open Grave

Music & lyrics by Rick Contes
Loss in my hands, life just takes away
And replaced with burning spite
Every passing day pay a price for another's wicked choice
Burning alive and remain
Burning alive in my open grave
Torn, this entire world
Everything we've ever known
And betrayed, one more familiar face
Fire burns with painful glow
Burning alive and remain
Burning alive in my open grave
Make no mistake and neither did we
With minds forever made this pain shall never cease
This pain shall never cease
Fear these eyes and this void of light
Someday we'll be lurking and come for you in the night

02. Aspirations Rusted Shut

Music & lyrics by Rick Contes
Burn, falling down below
Choking on ashes in a freezing cold
Fear of the uncontrolled
My aspirations rot into a poison mold
Flames that burn with no end in sight
Light the path into my vengeance, into my vengeful night
All the hopes and dreams that were made
They're soaked in gasoline waiting for the flame
A feast of flesh, no blade to cut
These aspirations have been rusted shut
They are rusted shut
All the hopes and dreams that were made
They're in line waiting for the flame
A feast of flesh, no blade to cut
These aspirations have been rusted shut
We burn again
We fall again
We burn again
We fear this end

03. Weakened World

Music & lyrics by Rick Contes
No trace of life in this awful place
I walk with nothing, not a single trace
A shell of the man I used be
No clouds to shade the sun of suffering
I walk with nothing, not a trace of light
These forgotten times, I wait in pain for the night
Losing grip, losing time
Force fed suffering, poison mind
Breathing air infected with a curse
Is this hell we live or is it something worse
No sign of life in this weakened state
I walk with nothing except this bitter hate
A shell of the man I used to be
No cloud to shade this sun of tragedy
I walk with nothing, not a trace of light
These forgotten times, I wait in pain
And every hope that we knew has withered and curled
I walk with nothing left in this weakened world

04. A Blade In The Dark

Music & lyrics by Rick Contes
A blade in the dark to let me reach the top
Pushing me further to where the hurt can't stop
Holding on to fear and pushing me further and further in pain
A blade in the dark just to let me reach the top
Pushing me further into this hole that we sink in pain
Holding on to fear, the fear of moving on
Stuck in this hole I keep digging, I keep digging
Remove the earth more and more everyday
Stuck inside my head, wish it all away
Self inflicted pain scorched inside my brain
When we lost you we lost our way
We watched you slip away

05. Cradled By The Cold

Music & lyrics by Rick Contes
Cradled by the cold dark
In this hell we fall apart
Thirst for blood, we seek
Down here below
Come and take my hand
Devil on my back
Cold metal against my skin
Rattles down the hall in this emptiness
Feel the dark hell sinking in
Cold heavy chains come and lock me in
A prison cell where I feed on my mortal sin
In this darkened room nothing can create
Cradled by the cold, will these ever break
Cradled by the cold dark
In this hell we fall apart

06. Cursed To Witness Life

Music & lyrics by Rick Contes
Harrowing life bleeding me dry
Feeding the poison hand wrapped around my will to try
Nothing turns out as it's planned
Black label bottle empties fast
When sweet release runs dry
My life gone with nothing to mend
A new release, to die
Harrowing life bleeding me dry
Feeding the poison hand wrapped around my will to try
Nothing turns as we planned
We are cursed
Every endless night there is no more truth
Razor lines of white erasing all our youth
We suffer the dawn in every hidden moon
Another wasted night riding to our doom
We're all cursed

07. Haunting My Mind

Music & lyrics by Rick Contes
So far away from our home and fertile ground
Never ending pain left behind without a sound
This lonely fear has control and I know we lost our way
And there's no path back to the start
We are lost our way when you let us go
Nothing left to say
Watch this heartbreak in the falling snow
Haunting at my mind, these demons crawling into sight
Never ending fear and we're left here to lose the fight
We mourn everyday inside and everyday we fall apart
Withered down and nothing to hide
Living and breathing with this scar
We lost our way when you let us go
Nothing to give and how do we live
Or do we die in this falling snow
Haunting my mind
We lost our way
Haunting my mind
