Abandon the safety of mindless following
Abandon what holds us captive to suffering
Pierce the blinders, behold
The path that leads before you
Let us forsake, forsake all the things
That leads us, leads to our demise
Open your eyes
See the divine
Open your eyes
And see the
Destruction of innocence
Watch it breathe it's last
Open your eyes (behold the path before you)
See the divine (forsake our demise)
Open your eyes (behold the path before you)
And see the
Abandon the safety of mindless following
To the grave we take this oath
To leave this world behind
Hear the words of the voice
That lives inside
Break free, this is your time
Break, this is your time
Break free
To the grave (to the grave)
Take this oath (take this oath)
To the grave (to the grave)
Take this oath

Abandon what holds us captive to suffering
Pierce the blinders, behold
The path that leads before you
Let us forsake, forsake all the things
That leads us, leads to our demise
Open your eyes

Destruction of innocence
Watch it breathe it's last
Open your eyes (behold the path before you)

Open your eyes (behold the path before you)
And see the
Abandon the safety of mindless following
To the grave we take this oath
To leave this world behind

Take this oath (take this oath)
To the grave (to the grave)
