Lyrics for "No Gods Within the City" by Deadly Light

No Gods Within the City

Thinking I'm the one who's lost
You look at me and stare
Last words I offer you
Drawing a line in the sand

Emptiness
Transgressor - Perpetrator - Of heresies
Transgressor - Perpetrator - abomination

The battlements are armed
Don't you ever cross that line
And the soldiers wait for blood
Don't you ever cross that line
In the center you'll never see
A crown's weight - You'll never feel
Emptiness

Break your voice against the wall, it will only echo back

Transgressor - Perpetrator - Of heresies

No response at all
I hear your infant cries
If it would only bleed
I'd like to cut your skin
I'll be the one to abandon you

And save those you left behind ?Burning dark from the fire

The souls they meet become
Ghosts of the endless black
All that you couldn't give
And all that you feared to lose

The lost will tear from you

The dead - Reclaim - What you denied them

Burning dark from the fire


The Feast

My mind is clearer now discard remaining pain
No longer afflicted with your imprisoned disease

I serve only me
Choose another for your chains
I serve only me
For your benefit follow me
I will tell you what you need
For your benefit follow me
I will tell you
To break away you need only follow me

Feel my power growing
No bounds to what I'll do
Feeding on this false freedom
I'm the king of my own world
King of my own world

My own life enjoying all that was neglected
Seething lies but it was you, I take control because

I serve only me
Choose another for your chains
I serve only
Break away and follow me
Follow me

Care Nothing Of yours
Unless It serves My world

Gorge on the feast
Gorge on the feast
Gorge on the feast
To take all before I'm done because

I serve only me
Choose another for your chains
I serve only me
For your benefit follow me
I will tell you what you need
For your benefit follow me
I will tell you
Follow me

Cower before my realization


Arachnophile

Crawl back, crawl back into the web
Nothing, nothing but a slave
Fall back, fall back into habit
A slave, a slave to blind habit

Repeat the same mistake
Hoping, fearing fate
Tangled in the web
My demon spins again

Crawl back into the web
Nothing but a slave
Fall back into habit
A slave, a slave to habit

Repeat the same mistake
Hoping, fearing fate
Tangled in the web
My demon spins again
Caught in my own web
Need to feed again
Devouring the chance
To live like a real human being
Free from delusion
Breathing life not death


Phantom

Can't seem to look away - exiled
Can't see the light of day - exiled
Freedom - So tied up, so tied up in knots
Freedom - I know it's gone, I know it's gone away

Phantom
Where will it go, a lifeless haunt
Can you feel it? This endless search

Loveless
It pulls away, a silent haunt
Can you see it? The endless search

Recognize her true face - breathe her
Accept, you can't forget - breathe her
Torment - distracted, distracted by the pain
Torment - the denial wouldn't stop

Can't look away

Can you feel it, this endless search



Rebellion

All the lies created
All the dreams erased

Rebelled against what you told me
Rebelled against what you stood for

So now the folly is mine
Drawn for myself - I cross that line

Breaking from the circle
Refuse to be my own fool - any longer

So now the folly is mine
Drawn for myself - I cross that line

Now the folly is mine
I cross the line

Rebelled against what I said
Rebelled against what I fell for

Present - aware - prepare, control no longer

So now the folly is mine
Drawn for myself - the last time

Taking down all beliefs
This time I shall not fail

Can't believe what it took - it comes to this
Awake, now I'm exposed in peace
I see my path
My time is complete
