Song lyrics
Jealousy's an ugly word, but you don't seem to care 
Converse behind my back, but now I'm here 
Need no one to comply with me though everyone that I defeat 
Don't need you, fuck camaraderie, this rage will never go away 

Hatred fuels my blood, I'll burn ya down (You can't help me) 
One king to watch the horsemen fall, I'll fight till the end (I won't help you) 
I can't trust anyone, see it in my eyes 
Now I can understand, it's sorrow that feeds your lies 

You're on my back when the water gets too deep for you to breathe
A crutch for you that won't always be there
Hide in the dark another day, the fear in you is here to stay
So keep the fuck away from me and learn to trust the words I say

Hatred fuels my blood, I'll burn ya down (You can't help me) 
One king to watch the horsemen fall, I'll fight till the end (I won't help you) 
I can't trust anyone, witness and see it in my eyes
Now I can understand, put faith in you for the last time
It's sorrow that feeds your lies

Run from me before I tear you down (Be afraid)
You chose the wrong side (It feels so right)
I won't help you, let you rot away (Despise what you say)
Run towards the light exposing your soul (We won't be there by your side)

Salvation's dying (Somebody's crying)
We're all gone in the end
Sweet child we'll miss you
So far away, far away

I can't trust anyone, witness and see it in my eyes
Now I can understand, put faith in you for the last time
It's sorrow that feeds your lies

Falling away, can't buy back time
Burned it down anyways

Everybody says they like their older stuff when shadows sang harder. well guess what he cant he burst blood vessels in his throat and has had surgery twice. this stuff is excellent the guitar is 10 times better than their old stuff. but the old stuff is still excellent. shadows sounds great for supposedly not to be singing ever again

This song is so great, i lovveee the "sweet child we'll miss you" part... Thank you, person who's name i cant remember, for letting everyone know about matt shadows's broken blood vessels!! Yeah, also syns guitar at the very end is beautiful.

Now that i think about it, ALL of syn's guitar is beautifull... syn is just great like that.

My favorite song next to Beast and the Harlot. Great lyrics, great vocals, and very kickass guitar! The guitarist of this band is one of reasons I soooo badly want to be able to play guitar.
