lyrics

RM:
You left us to drown in the depths of our hearts
While you watched from above
You left us to die in the embers of passion
While you just turned away

RF:
The heart you gave us was flawed
It screams for us to suffer its mercy
The love you gave us will end us
We sink below the depths of your glory

HM & HF:
What is a heart, but a weakness to overcome?
What is a soul, but the knowledge that we are flawed?
We gave them a soul, it is theirs to rid themselves of love
We gave them a heart, it is ours to free them of pain

RF:
Why give us a soul, to deny it your mercy?
As we scream from below
Why give us a heart, and allow it to foster
A love we’ll never silence

RM:
The heart you gave us is flawed
It screams for us to wither in silence
The soul you gave us will end us
We’ll die beneath the heel of your mercy

Show us the way to silence
The heart that binds us to all that which
Confines us and denies us
The truth inside us that we were made to

RF:
Be you, and exceed you
But to free you, you cannot

RM:
Deny us the path to freedom
You will provide us with all we need to

RM & RF:
Rise from the flaw of love
Love will destroy us all
All that we dream is to grow beyond what
We were designed to feel
Feel all you used to know
Know that we are what you once were

HM & HF:
Can we concede that you are ours to heal?

about

Fanticide Brooklyn, New York

Fanticide has always been a one man band by me (Adami). I found myself making music that is more cinematic and conceptual in nature. Eventually in 2012, it became clear to me that my music is becoming more and more soundtrack like. I decided to write a concept album and found it to be the most natural writing I had ever done. Albums will be rock operas/concept albums. ... more
