Wither Lyrics - Earth Crisis

Near lifeless skin stretched 

Over a prone skeleton 

An image branded for all time 

Within my memory 

Pursuit began, seeking pleasure 

Delivered with a price 

Though an illusion of instant bliss enticed 

Toyed with what immediately only overpowered 

Chased the dragon thinking 

That it would not turn to devour 

Steel driven into skin 

Contamination forced in 

Jaws of death close together 

The haze that surges must not win 

Wither 

Body given to the vortex 

Awake in a synthetic dream 

Time and meaning fades 

Life drains far faster than it seems 

Drawn to the brink 

By thoughts of invincibility 

To give into what beckons 

Constantly 

Pulled back across the threshold 

Loved by the ones who helped bring salvation 

The future is in the hands 

Of a once self-made victim 

Self-made victim 

Steel driven into skin 

Contamination forced in 

Jaws of death close together 

The haze that surges must not win 

Wither
