The Hanging Blade Songtext
von Marianas Rest

Too close
To not get involved
Way too far
To see the shapes in the sky

Knowledge does not flow from a dead race
And death comes
Following a beam of light

Like severed senses
So easy to lure us away
To make sure we stay on track
That there is no one to warn
About the train


What does it matter now
Who got to be wrong or right
We all are burned the same
Not one of us gets to stay

We all had our options
We just chose to give ′em away
For a moment of passion
To sound out a worthless voice in the wind

Rain comes down on us
Air seems to stop its move
Sing a song while we wait
Overture to connect the ends

Behold
The hanging blade
Looming still
To cut us on command


Remind us
What we are worth
Sing a song
While we wait for demise
