Threnody Lyrics - Chimaira

Fade away into the shadows. 

She sucked the life right from me. 

How can I forget the years of torment? 

Fade... away into the shadows 

She sucked the life right from me. 

How can I forgive the years... of torment? 

Lies, part of her pain. 

Cries, pathetic attempt. 

To get back inside of my head. 

No... 

Then she turned the knife 

...and looked into my eyes. 

And said... 

Ill bleed for you 

Id die for you 

Come back to me 

or I will end my life. 

Life! 

Ill bleed for you 

Id kill for you 

Come back to me 

or I will end your life. 

Fade away into the shadows. 

She sucked the life right from me. 

How can I forget the years of torment? 

Fade... away into the distance. 

Her look was menacing. 

How could I forget her stares... so painful? 

And she... 

Tries... to manipulate 

Eyes... so filled with hate 

I begged her to reconsider. 

And then she turned the knife, 

and looked into my eyes. 

And said... 

Ill bleed for you 

Id die for you 

Come back to me 

or I will end my life. 

Ill bleed for you 

Id kill for you 

Come back to me 

or I will end your... 

Life! 

[solo] 

I could not help her 

I could not stop her 

...could not protect her 

I could not save her (save her) 

I could not save her 

I could have saved her 

Oh God help me!
