Rightful Salvation Lyrics & Tabs by Burden of Life
Rightful Salvation
guitar chords lyrics
I'm spiralling towards a blackened void
Descending down, to where dreams go to die
I hear the ear-splitting sound of the knell
Godspeed to myself and welcome to hell
I stare upon the gates to netherworld
They invite me into sorrow's realm
Again the disturbing sound of the knell
Godspeed to myself and welcome to hell
Countdown to armageddon
Wayfaring through this land of anguish
To think it was I who caused her this mischief
Is giving birth to self-hate in my ressurected heart
Racing to her rightful salvation
The abyss will be mine and not her destination
From every angle closing in
Dead memories wallowing in thoughtlessness and sin
Hades seems so familiar
Like this place was made for and from me
Racing to her rightful salvation
The abyss will be mine and not her determination
I hear voices sing
Skeletons dance to the sound of my swansong
They remind me of times I buried deep within
At this point it gets harder to stay strong
Passing flaw after flaw and sin after sin
Racing to her rightful salvation
The abyss will be mine and not her destination
Clearer than ever, the voices sing
All this pain she did withstand
and the years she longed for you
In turn you took her life
And imprisoned her in hell
As I foresaw, we meet again
What is it now, my simple friend?
Do you have more than your darling to lose?
Make me an offer I can't refuse
I beg you demon, let her go
don't deny it, we both know
I'm supposed to be your slave
so let her go, that's all I crave
Take me instead
I no longer care if I'm dead
I'll do anything you command
Her freedom's my only demand
So it shall be done …
You freed me from this monster's violence
Gave me a second lease on my life
But I will not forget and I will not forgive
We would not have winded up here
If for once you thought of someone else than yourself
She ascends back to where she belongs
I reach out, my final desperation
But there's no use in denying the truth anymore
Carrying out her rightful salvation
The abyss is mine, not her destination
I will be suffering more than ever before
I will ache from every fibre right to the core
Though tacitly I accept the burden placed on me
Cause now everything's the way it's supposed to be
Carrying out her rightful salvation
The abyss is mine not her destination
End of the line
Come and resign
Now you're a slave
Clock strikes it's done
Your life
Your love
Doomed to
Die
