Versuri Mindcage Escape - Bitter Celebration



sever the nexus 
the core is dead 
the core is 

dead men tell no tales 
stand straight when all else fails? 
bridges burn, no return 
bars, cuffs, chains 
all will come undone the same 

a time to choose 
a time to save 
tracing footsteps heading to the grave 

bitter celebration of decay 
i’ll drink my cup and walk the line today 

turn loose all the demons 
a point-blank revenge 

lines bend, deformed 
shapes move at will 
structures take form 
time stands still 
caryatids 
knee-bend and twist 
gargoyles awake 
to open up the gates 

speak thy name, oh father 
speak thy truth 
sell me off so that my wounds would soothe 

bitter celebration of decay 
i’ll drink my cup and walk the line today 

lost in a kaleidoscope of 
timeless retrospectives again 
spinning, overwhelming, tornado 
bloody halo 

the break of the day 
the shadow betrays 
backstabbing heroes 
your time in not near 
your time is now 

dead end sighting - give up fighting 
die hard rebel, lonely devil 

let pain settle, floor the pedal 
one decision: straight collision now 
walls come tumbling down 

…and so this is the end 
the junkie met the sober 
sick of talking to myself 
this old monologue is over 

…and so this is the end 
walk straight across the border 
i’m done with yesterdays 
this old monologue is over 

…and so this is the end 
redemption’s for the seeker 
no fabric to hide my scars 
the spirit’s weak 
the flesh is weaker 

…and so this is the end 
i’ve crossed beyond this portal 
one final testament: 
my bones to sea 
my soul to orders that 

i will never be 
i’ll never share their apathy 

for a time to choose	
a time to save 
heavy footsteps trading off the grave 

bitter celebration of decay 
i drank my cup and walked the other way 

still i’m standing unbowed
