about

Cowards Tongue - This song details the latent resentment that builds up over years of living in someone else's shadow. Eventually resentment turns to rage as it boils over and results in murderous intent. Sadly, the impact of such an act is a tremendously heavy burden to bear.

lyrics

COWARDS TONGUE

You stole existence
While I sat idly by your side
The light shines bright on you casting a shadow long
That’s where you'd find me
Hiding deep, distraught

But now I crawl out of my hole to get what’s due
There is no room for you now in this world I design
The odd piece was you all along
Time to right what is wrong

I kept the name off my tongue
The taste was overwhelming
But now it sounds so sweet
And feels like justice

Revenge, let me sing it to you
Another song for the fallen
But the first for me
Vengeance, sing with me
Sweet melody

Born with the heart of a coward
Your final song has yet been sung

I submit again
Then you see me and you'll feel it creeping in
Then the one time I win

All this time I never did you any wrong
Why did it come to this
But now we're here so sing my song
I wish it felt wrong
But inspiration, admiration
Takes me over for the first time
Now I take from you what you made me lose

Lay you down to rest, the deed is done
But now the blood is chilling
Tempers fading
Trembling clarity sets in

I can’t bleed anymore
The wounds are all dry
I can’t breathe
The ashes of fires long faded, they fill my lungs
And I may be a coward
But you won’t go alone
Theres still half of a bone in my body
So here I go

What a bitter end
For a life of discontent
I couldn’t do it right, not even do it wrong
We couldn’t live as equals
But maybe die like ones
One final song
