lyrics

Cast off the shackles you used to bind me.
Rip off the blindfold, Was lost but now I see.
You fed me lies, false alibis,
A light that once brought hope, I now despise.

I feel like I've been asleep my whole life,
Now that I have awoken, I feel alive.
At first I thought god had abandoned me
Soon it came clear, my mind is now free

Get out of my head,
Control is all you seek.
Why else would I have turned to you,
When I was so weak.
Even now in my despair I call to you a final time.

I can't hear your voice anymore
Was it even there at all?
How low did I have to fall,
Just to call your name?
If you're there, I hope you feel my shame.

When I die will I burn in hell or rot in the ground?
Will I see a bright light or will it all go black?

I feel like I've been asleep my whole life,
Now that I have awoken, I feel alive.
At first I thought god had abandoned me,
Soon it came clear, my mind is now free.

I don't need you anymore,
My mind was once weak,
Now I am strong enough to see you for what you are,
A lie used to control those in need!

We are all abandoned.
