Stabbed in the back by what I held to be true Virtuous intentions aren't enough for me to make it through The deeds undone So pure and true Have died with my conviction Bound by desire Bound by possession Bound by the ritual that we abide Bound by devotion Bound by indecision Bound by the fallacy of pride You resist with all your might The righteous are left holding onto lies You give up the will to fight When all that's sacred dies Shattered into bits For all humanity Will degrade into the darkest depths of your memory A never ending fight I see it decay And rot away devotion Bound by desire Bound by possession Bound by the ritual that we abide Bound by devotion Bound by indecision Bound by the fallacy of pride You resist with all your might The righteous are left holding onto lies You give up the will to fight When all that's sacred dies Lost in the forever after with a hand of nothingness Confide in a frail master and live nothing but regret Start over with all intentions of retrieving what you've lost So easy to accept when you never see the cost The cost Holding onto nothing For all eternity Clutching onto tattered shreds of civility The ultimate decision to throw it away Will haunt me now forever Give up Nothing you hold is sacred Nothing that you believe is sacred Give up Nothing is sacred Sacred Take it all Nothing is sacred Sacred Give up Nothing is sacred Sacred Nothing
