Altered Revelations - The Harvest Lyrics

We've paid the price
Time and again, giving our lives
Raised like a lamb to slaughter
Feed this endless appetite
The fear takes over like a spreading disease
While in its comatose, no one knows how much
Will satisfy the beast
We can't afford to take chances
The seasons change
Stealing hearts with every passing day
No sense in keeping scores
We could lose everything
The leaves decay
Rotting away 'til it's time
When the snow descends on this wretched earth
It settles on a mass grave
And still we try to hold on
The cycle repeats
As the evil starts to hunger
Well I guess it's time I let you go
When the days grow thin
And the night breathes you in
It consumes us again
Life is just a taste
Harvest the salt of the earth
It's bittersweet to see another day
I can't watch my life flash before my eyes
We'll build you up
Face my fears while I survive
And we'll praise your name
So don't be afraid
Oh god what have I done
I hide my face while you run
Guarantee a future
It sinks its teeth deep in the flesh of our innocents
You won't soon forget everything you did
In the darkest hour our nightmare preys
The mourning silent and grey
And still we try to hold on
The cycle repeats
As the evil starts to hunger
Well I guess it's time I let you go
When the days grow thin
And the night breathes you in
It consumes us again
This plague will never leave
There's no escaping the beast
Taking everything, desperate
We sacrifice our own existence
Til only death remains
The vile creature stirs
Gifted to a curse
The ones that we desert, they are
Terrified
Get in line
Not satisfied with all we had to give
On borrowed time, I realize
We never should have f*cking
Lived
Choking on tears as it swallows our bleeding hearts
Devouring the world
Not enough
Silence the madness
Oh sleepless night
Jaws of death ripping the fabric of life
There's nowhere to hide
From this vicious bite
Hold on
The cycle repeats
As the evil starts to hunger
Well I guess it's time I let you go
When the days grow thin
And the night breathes you in
It consumes us again
This plague will never leave
There's no escaping the beast
Taking everything, desperate
We sacrifice our own existence
Til only death remains
