Lyrics Birth and the Burial - Act of Defiance

Birth and the Burial

Cast into flame, you are the fire
Bridges, they burn
Your friends walk away from tour now
Debts from the past
Strangers return, promises sold
They’ve come to collect what you owe
Rest and repent your sins, it’s a feast for the dead
Heaven’s burning below
Your name on a tombstone
Your fate, it falls on deaf ears, with every unanswered prayer
Your reap what you sow
The birth and the burial
You’re bleeding out, buried aliv
It’s your last breath
You’re helped dig the hole that’s your grave
Sever the ties, leave them behind
You’ve tortured yourself
Haunted by your biggest mistake
No god will answer your call, you’re left to die on your own
Give yourself unto the earth, it’s best for everyone else
Fatal embrace, feed their desire, your cradle, it falls
Your firstborn will surely be blind
Mourning the loss, you are the sign, an unspoken curse
Secrets untold, come to life
