The Gift

Open your eyes
What do you see?
A lifetime building another man’s dream

Break from the pact, what do you know?
Slavery cost you more than your soul
Awake in the night you can take my hand
And I show you a way to break up this trend

You’ll shun the sun and forget the day
But when it’s said and done, it’s a small price to pay

Life’s just a bad routine
Beats you to your knees
Life’s just a bad routine
The night will set you free
Life’s just a bad routine
Beats you to your knees
Life’s just a bad routine
The night will set you free

Be my life my bond in death
Be my love accept my gift

See with eyes into other’s deceit
And you’ll understand what you used to be
Each little life churns another’s greed
So why shouldn’t we just take what we need

Stalk the night and you free their souls
You gotta taste life before you lose control

Life’s just a bad routine
Beats you to your knees
Life’s just a bad routine
The night will set you free
Life’s just a bad routine
Beats you to your knees
Life’s just a bad routine
The night will set you free

Be my life my bond in death
Be my love accept my gift

Open your eyes what do you see?
Another poor soul caught without their own dream
Their desperate eyes seek a way out
You could give them life or you could end it all now

Awake in the night they may take your hand
But if they lose their nerve at least they’ll be dead
Yes, when we met that’s just what I planned
But let’s forget about that and drain our new friend

Words never mean that much
It’s time to break free
Living shouldn’t be a crutch
It’s time to be free

The daytime has failed you
There’s nothing left to see
The nighttime has something new
A dream within a dream

Life’s just a bad routine
Beats you to your knees
Life’s just a bad routine
The night will set you free
Life’s just a bad routine
Beats you to your knees
Life’s just a bad routine
The night will set you free

Be my life my bond in death
Be my love accept my gift
Be my life my bond in death
Be my love accept my gift
