There's only fear when it comes near - For the dog or for the manIt doesn't feel, it doesn't care - So you need to understandYou can't win, you're born to lose - You can't decide and you can't chooseYou're just dust, you're lost in space - And in time, you'll be erasedBelieve - this nowThere is - no escapingBow down - let goYou know - what is waitingThere is - one truthThere can be no denyingYour time - will comeYou're either dead or dyingThey like to say that there's a way - To live on forever moreBut this is real and how it feels - Walk through and slam the doorThey lay coins upon their eyes - For lost souls to live onAnd they can wail, they can cry - But you will just be goneTry hard - run fastThe pain is all that lastsTurn left - turn rightYour day will turn to nightThey sleep - you weepThe Reaper plays for keepsGet up - fall downSix feet - undergroundYou're all gone - it's coming for youYou're all gone - it's coming for youYou're all gone - it's coming for you You're all gone - you're all goneThere's nowhere left for us to go - We live on borrowed timeSay goodbye to what you know - You get yours, I get mineThere's no hope for us at all - The sun will never shineBelieve - this nowThere is - no escapingBow down - let goYou know - what is waitingThere is - one truthThere can be no denyingYour time - will comeYou're either dead or dyingYou're all gone - it's coming for youYou're all gone - it's coming for youYou're all gone - it's coming for you You're all gone - you're all gone

I’m the mountain you will defyDespite resistance you will complyWhen the truth is a bitter lie it’s easiest to tell I will break you through countless yearsExploit your weakness expose your fearsI show no mercy I shed no tears nor sympathize To find one’s solace in an everlasting warThe pain within us must be well worth dying for When death has given you meaning in lifeYou feed on malice and endless strifeLong for the chance to twist that knifeThe beast within your core I’m the demon down deep insideIn the shadows of your mind I hideLust for misery and suicide Always knocking at your door The emptiness will feed on everything withinConsume the will to be and let the end begin I am your lust for liesI’m your dark disguiseI’m behind your eyes World turn blackFoundations crackNo turning back

Well, I swallowed my pride;Decade down on my luck.I’m on a vendetta: Red robin hood dead ‘em;“Competitor” - stuck up myself at the register - robbing me - “veteran”Used to trend set ‘em; Now I just transcend ‘em.I am a conclusion but I have not ended…Battery; stuttering, stammering: Non defectumCHORUS 1DO NOT FAIL: Non defectum.I DO NOT FAIL: Follow me.I Will say as I DOI swear I willNOTFaulter or FAILNon DefectumI Will say as I DOI swear I willNOTFaulter or FAILFollow MeVERSE TWOWe pray to a screen and we worship a phone To distract from the fact that we’re dying alone…Wake up HEY, wake up HEY, the voice in my head Said take some offense, Put your heart in your head, Make tomorrow non sequiturWell wishers? Bread winners? Flash in the pan?BRIDGENon defectum. We seize another day. No question. We seize another day.Non defectum. Non defectum.CHORUS 2DO NOT FAIL: Non defectum.I DO NOT FAIL: Follow me.I Will say as I DOI swear I willNOTFaulter or FAILNon DefectumI Will say as I DOI swear I willNOTFaulter or FAILFollow MeOUTRO (CHORUS 3)DO NOT FAIL: Non defectum.I DO NOT FAIL: Follow me.Heart on my sleeve like the sign of the beast.No longer driven by the money, envy, rat race ending.Time to live my life.

Saddle up it’s time to fight. End is coming near. Now it’s time to pay the price of all things that I hear From a one eyed liar and a two-faced punk, gamblin’ your soul Your mouth bought you a shovel It’s diggin’ you a holeChorusI’ll be here singing my songYou’re there carrying onTelling lies all night longI’ll be here when you’re dead and gone2Your death walks right behind you In the light of the moon If I never see your cold, dead eyes, it’ll be too soon. ChorusI will be here singing my songWhile there carrying onTelling lies all night longI’ll be here when you’re dead and gone3I’ll be right beside you When you’re taking your last breath Dragging you to hellWhen they lay you to restChorusI will be here singing my songWhile you’re there yammering onTelling lies all night longI’ll be here when you’re dead and gone
