Death-right

you'll die young if you live so carefully
there are risks you must take to pay this world
I know it would never be that easy
I have not yet earned the right to die
I want you to hear me screaming
I want you to notice what goes on
temptation and evil demons crawling the earth hiding in every corner

I've seen men crippled in anger
the sun burns alive in silence
I've seen men wallow in fear
inaction acts as a blade across the throat
I'll learn how to make decisions
I'll stick by my word - won't let you down
I swear by the grave that's calling
nothing will stop me from doing what must be done

something here is still innocent
It doesn't matter if you decide not to believe it
There are still places where the magic can breathe
I want to breathe it in
I want to lay down and never leave

we're stalking the ancient mariner
through waters he takes his lonely course
once powerful once beautiful
extinction lingering these things are no more
I love you I'll never leave you
though I may be gone for years on end
I will never be separate
lovers through the lives before and after

something here is still innocent
It doesn't matter if you decide not to believe it
There are still places where the magic can breathe
I want to breathe it in
I want to lay down and never leave
