7. Death of a Dream (The Embrace That Smothers Part VII) (6:03)
I followed your rules
A willing fool
Branded by shame
My soul suffers from your hostile ways
I bear so many scars, hit me hard
Time to change we have to rearrange
For this has gone too far, way too far
Creating new laws and living by unwritten rules
Restricting us
My soul suffers from your hostile ways
I can't let go
Creating new spins on ancient creed to fit your views
Denying us
You created this world
Where honesty is not allowed
You created this world
Where ignorance is being taught
You created this world
Where I am all, you'll never be
You've been drilling these
Such falsely-based philosophies
...in me
The curtain has fallen
There's no one behind
Corrected one mistake
But I am still around
Our fight is over
My scars will leave a stain
You thought that it was all easy
But I will still remain
You created yourself
Based on nothing else but lies
You created yourself
Where all your aspiration died
You created yourself
Where I am all, you'll never be
You're deceiving me
Now I am forcing you to see
...this
The curtain has fallen
There's no one behind
Corrected one mistake
But I am still around
Our fight is over
My scars will leave a stain
You thought that it was all easy
But I will still remain
Take my hand, I'm sinking, I'm reaching out for you
Can't you see what you've done to all of us?
Torturing me has no use here anymore
I followed your rules
A willing fool
Branded by shame
My soul suffers from your hostile ways
I bear so many scars, hit me hard
Time to change we have to rearrange
For this has gone too far, way too far
Creating new laws and living by unwritten rules
Restricting us
My soul suffers from your hostile ways
I can't let go
Creating new spins on ancient creed to fit your views
Denying us
The curtain has fallen
There's no one behind
Corrected one mistake
But I am still around
Our fight is over
My scars will leave a stain
You thought that it was all easy
But I will still remain
Your time is over
I'm taking what's mine
You thought that you could keep me
Under your thumb and mind
Take my hand, I'm sinking, I'm reaching out for you
In my dying dream
A willing fool
Branded by shame
My soul suffers from your hostile ways
I bear so many scars, hit me hard
Time to change we have to rearrange
For this has gone too far, way too far
Creating new laws and living by unwritten rules
Restricting us
My soul suffers from your hostile ways
I can't let go
Creating new spins on ancient creed to fit your views
Denying us
You created this world
Where honesty is not allowed
You created this world
Where ignorance is being taught
You created this world
Where I am all, you'll never be
