A Violent Strike
The Human Abstract

And out of the great beyond came a pitch-black multitude

Here to choose the weakest of our race (hellhounds of the devil's own face)

Confused a violent strike for something finally here to guide the way

Our faith in order was a mistake

So fearful and divine, and devoid of grace

They try to run but there's no escape

And the light decayed on that final day

Fear crept up inside, night became something more than a trade

And our slumber, a weakness that we all can share

Death calling in the wind, this is the end

I watched as a spiral took shape across the sky

It was like a call from the other side

What will you do now?

The fires of hell are raining down

Deep inside you're starting to shake, and slowly losing ground

Everyone is dead

Your bravery is useless, your bravery is useless

I watched as a spiral took shape across the sky

It was like a call from the other side

And there I cried, out of control and paralyzed, as everything I once was died

At the storm's dark mercy

There's no way I'd be dying honorably

If they came and took my life now

No way I'd be dying honorably

Regrets in tow, they didn't even stand a chance

So hear me, the final lines have been drawn

To build again, to fall again, it's worn me down to the last straw

It took me down, took me, until I don't feel human at all

Test me now, test me, I don't feel human at all

So don't you go thinking that you find strength, without a trial or two

These days have got me feeling like a god

Hear me, the final lines have been drawn

I held on so long to my home, until a tempest came

She came in and swept it away

Where's your bravery?

What will bravery do for you now?
