Living Death

You left my senses calling, I’m empty without you
You left my soul mourning, there’s nothing I can do
My life was offered as a sacrifice, you took the blade
Cut out the heart, removed my soul, so nothing could be saved
Life with all its madness is like a carnival
You ride the horses, play the games, release the inner child
But when it comes to games of chance, you lose before you begin
When others make the rules of life, you’ll find you’ll never win
A gambling man enjoys the thrill of losing everything
I’ve lost much more than gold alone could ever buy again
Sweet thief of reason, I thought you were my destiny
The future looked much brighter when you were near to me
How quickly dreams can crumble beneath the cold of light
I wish that I could slumber all through the endless night
I lie awake, the pain of light destroys my reverie
My skin grows colder day by day, ‘til you come back to me
A gambling man enjoys the thrill of losing everything
I’ve lost much more than gold alone could ever buy again
You left my senses calling
I’m empty without you
You left my soul mourning
There’s nothing I can do
