Left to devices 
All of my own innovation 
To the screaming end 
Of what has always been 
Whenever the dying is calling 
I will go 
To last reasons jagged edge 

Now I know for what I am 
Is wrong again 

Out by the ledge 
Out of reach 
Further now to 
A close beyond 

Why are we trying to live 
When all we know 
Is just how to die 

Left to abide defeat 
In the long gone past 
Not knowing this might be 
What will tip the scales 
Still nothing will fail me 
As I am going through 
The line simply 
Must be crossed 

Now I know for what I am 
Is wrong again 

I hear the dark 
Smell the fear 
Nil at hand 
But a close beyond 

I never brought anybody 
To where our faith is gone 
I am the last unrepentence 
Bringing down the hail 
Of storm and fire 
Now for once I am on my own 
Must make a final decision 
Against this driving force 
Or else I will find it 
All in vain 
I never asked to be challenged 
The pain I bear is mine 
And mine alone 

Now I know for what I am 
Is wrong again 

Why are we trying to live 
When all we know 
Is just how to die 

Why are we trying to live 
When all we know 
Is just how to die
