lyrics

All you know is hate, all I hear are lies
Empty words from an empty man
Even when I'm spitting blood, I'll be the one to take your throne of lies
Even when I stand alone, I'll fight this battle surrounded on every side

So tell me, who do you think you are?
I will never be a hollow ghost without a name
What makes your blood boil, what sets your skin crawling?
This is where I belong

Oh I would sooner freeze walking with my back towards the sun
Headfirst into the darkness, watching liars and cowards turn and run

I am the man in the mirror waiting for a chance to break this glass
I will come through and sweep you off your feet
This fearful place will buckle at it's knees
Lend our brothers our hands to pick up the weak

What kind of man turns his back on everything he stands for just to be part of the crowd?
You're no man at all, but as for me
I would die for what I love, and I will show you the man I am
So forget who you are

I hope you choke on your words, every single word leaving you breathless
