Terminal

Dear departing heart
How will you leave?
I'm not unlike the others
I'm not unlike the others am I?

We knew that time would come take it
Our truce so temporary
I have turned on the things I love
A choice that you made for me.

Why do those eyes now look away? Now I
I am the same, just where you left me
And in the presence of so-called foes
You'll find the wretchеd are those you've hеld close.

Betray those you will leave, all that you grieve
Betray those you will leave, all that you grieve.

Sing me the anthem you're all preaching
Straight from the cut of your mouth
Teach me those secrets you're all cradling
Hiding in the depths of your keep.

With what's been done, how could you say that this land is for me? (Land is for me)
Where is this peace you claim? (Peace you claim)
And in the end, what will be left for your seed to believe? (Seed to believe)
Where is this peace you claim?

My mutiny
My last chance to face what's in front of me
What will come of a one man's trek
To the deepest parts of discovery?

Betray those you will leave, all that you grieve
Betray those you will leave, all that you grieve.

Sing me the anthem you're all preaching
Straight from the cut of your mouth
Teach me those secrets you're all cradling
Hiding in the depths.

With what's been done, how could you say that this land is for me?
Where is this peace you claim?
My heart, my home, my grave
All in a place whose name I cannot speak.
