Song with a sample of lyrics:
Now the dark begins to rise
Save your breath, its far from over
Leave the lost and dead behind
Now's your chance to run for cover
I don't want to change the world,
I just want to leave it colder
Light the fuse and burn it up
Take the path that leads to nowhere
All is lost again, but I'm not giving in
I will not bow, I will not break
I will shut the world away
I will not fall, I will not fade
I will take your breath away
Watch the end through dying eyes
Now the dark is taking over
Show me where forever dies
Take the fall and run to heaven
And I'll survive, paranoid
I have lost the will to change
And I am not proud, cold blooded fake
I will shut the world away this or that
