Tides of Man
Contents Within
[Verse 1]
Desolately awaiting nightfall
The cool, dead feeling to fall on my face patiently
And I'll forget this day
[Chorus]
Did you forget me here in this corridor of Hell?
Where I lost my mind to desecration and fear?
Did you leave me behind thinking I would tell your secrets?
Did you leave me to die?
[Verse 2]
My shroud removed and my body uncovered
Left for the vultures to tear at my skin
To relish from my skull
The contents within
Here I have lay with these dark demons of prey
Using grimy black talons
They disfigure my face
Please, God, I pray
Send your eagle this way
[Chorus]
Did you forget me here in this corridor of Hell?
Where I lost my mind to desecration and fear?
Did you leave me behind thinking I would tell your secrets?
Did you leave me to die?
[Interlude]
Entirely surpassing the point of apathetic submission
I spilled all
Yet, with every surrendering word I let slip
The more unsatiated the vultures became
[Bridge]
I must set things right
I must set things right
Right, right
[Verse 3]
But sprawled upon this mires coagulated bed
I forget the plentiful pints I bled
And dwell on many more I let them shed
From my honest brother's blameless head
His blameless head
His blameless head
