Rapt - I Will Be My End Lyrics

I've seen medusa
I've seen storms

I lived to see them wither and crawl
I've seen myself thaw
I gave them my time
Weathered their thorns

I've seen butchers be kings
I've seen terrible things
All the creatures have fallen
To teach us these things
Will we see
This will be our end

I've the privilege of saying
I've lived in your life
I've been in your paintings
And brushed with your side
Each night
Each night we died

And if there's a darkness
If there's an end
Rid me of my spirit
And all I meant
I will be my end

I will be my end

I've a sacred disease
It's a merciless beast
I'd tell you if I were leaving
If they'd grace me to know
I'd say never live alone

We hear the trees scream
On the bush fire's wind
The moaning of timber
The swells in the stream
Will we see
This will be our end

There's forces at play
That will darken our days
They whisper in hallways
An inch from the grave
Out of sight
Out of mind

We'll soon see them choke
On the footsteps of smoke
In the wake of the meeting of
Well meaning ghosts
Having spoke
Having chose

To mark all the walls
To message the streets
This life is for living
Don't you know?
I will never atone

And If there's a darkness
If there's an end
Rid me of my spirit
And all I said
I will be my end

I will be my end
