Dead Reckoning Songtext

von If Hope Dies

Shambling like a walking corpse living,
But not quite alive
You return again and again
To the sites once occupied in life
You're just a ghost
You're just a ghost of the past
You are condemned
Condemned to repeat your actions

CHORUS:
You're just a shadow
That leaves no trace
Trapped in an endless pattern
Conditioned to accept your fate
Your mind is dulled
Your body propelled forward
You're held in thrall
To perform the bidding of your masters
You held in thrall
To perform the bidding of your masters

Held in thrall

The body moves
But the heart no longer beats
Cold as the deepest ocean,
Blood freezes in your veins
Trapped inside a failing body
You are a mindless slave
All feeling has been forgotten
It's all rotten away

CHORUS:

The body moves
But the heart no longer beats
Cold as the deepest ocean,
Blood freezes in your veins
Trapped inside a failing body
You are a mindless slave
All feeling has been forgotten
It's all rotten away

Someone's pulling at your strings
So pull back
You aren't holding your own reins
So break them [2x]

The body moves
But the heart no longer beats
Cold as the deepest ocean,
Blood freezes in your veins
Trapped inside a failing body
You are a mindless slave
All feeling has been forgotten
It's all rotten away
