lyrics

They say I'm lost
Holding on to a dying light
Breathe in the life, you pushed away

Breathe in the life, don't end in strife
As they say, my dear friend
Everything must come to an end

So close my eyes, to feel alive
Surrounded by the darkness here
I try to be the light
So leave the world so far behind
I had everything I needed in my mind
To let it go, just so you know

I will pour all of myself into this life before I die
For I see the end

If I go before my time, I will commit the crime
As long as you stay by my side I will not lose my pride
I am feeling the end draw near
I can see the world for what it really is

This is something I can not bear to witness any longer
All that is mine will not cease to exist
As the light escapes me
As the world comes to an end

I can't help but wonder
Why do we suffer?
I can't help but realize
Why do we live by these lies?
It doesn't matter, because in the end
Everybody dies

So close my eyes, to feel alive
Surrounded by the darkness here
I try to be the light
So leave the world so far behind
I had everything I needed in my mind
To let it go, just so you know

Dissentient
by AngelMaker

supported by 12 fans who also own “Despair (ft. Zach Britt and Nathaniel Smith)”

Two impressive vocalists, variable and skilled guitarists and a tight and very powerful rhythm section. That plus the ability to write a song really leaves nothing left to desire here. mourner

The Deathgate
by Gravemind

supported by 11 fans who also own “Despair (ft. Zach Britt and Nathaniel Smith)”

One of the best deathcore releases ever, each song is great and unique with an interesting story attached to them. Every track from these guys is impressive and mind blowing. tpalm66

Decay
by AngelMaker

supported by 9 fans who also own “Despair (ft. Zach Britt and Nathaniel Smith)”

An album that tends to lean towards the more melodic side of the deathcore genre. Nothing groundbreaking but they do this style really really well. puncakethethird
