Roar - Anathema Lyrics

Burn low the candles
In a desiccated ritual
They say vigilance brings comfort
But I don't believe it's true
Straighten the noose
That chokes the suit onto these ruins
An avalanche unfitting as a tribute

Carve up the kingdom
Change the names on all the maps
Take all that you can carry
Escape here while you can
My stormy friends will hover close
My clouds are coming with me
Together we'll destroy the end

This should have been a letter
And not a paper epitaph

I'm mistaking shadows
On the wall for ghosts again
I'm mistaking shadows
I have seen here for the dead

Alien sedition
Running rampant in my head
All my contrition
Can't roll back the wheels of death
I am anathema
We are the damned
And so do we reach the stars

This should have been a letter
And not a paper epitaph
This should have been a letter
And not some foolish epitaph

I'm mistaking shadows
On the wall for ghosts again
I'm mistaking shadows
I have seen here for the dead

There is a pulse unrivaled in its resonance
A requiem that promises we won't forget
For we are the damned
We are the damned
We don't forget
