Throat Of The World Lyrics - Singles - Dividium

Left in the dark, another wasted day, 

Where you decree my salvation. 

Passionless and self destructive, 

In the shadows of your failures. 

Consequential bastard, dredging, 

Dragging the waters of your self loathing. 

I can't bear to tread these hallowed footsteps, 

Mocking every man that came before them. 

Shed your tears and all you have to say, 

Bleach the taint, forget to pass the blame. 

Clean off the blood from the tears of your enemies. 

Wrapped me up tight like a tourniquet , 

Straining to breathe from the last revelation you'd given me. 

Pushed for the light at the end of this shallow grave. 

I can't be the... 

First to cast the stone, 

Into the throat of the world. 

The first to fall, 

Into the throat of the world. 

Words leave their mark, 

Falling on dead ears. 

Specks of dust settle here. 

Setting suns cast shadows and faded landscapes, 

Long dead leaves lay pathways to your madness. 

Scream my name and all that's buried deep, 

In your brain and leave the rest in pieces. 

Drown in the blood in the tears of your enemies. 

Walking a brighter path into a darker place, 

Crushed in between obligation and dignity. 

Frightened to lose everything I've strived to be. 

I can't be the... 

First to cast the stone, 

Into the throat of the world. 

The first to fall, 

Into the throat of the world. 

Scream my name and all that you see, 

Leaves a trail to your deceit. 

Beg for guidance and relief, 

To the sacred and profane. 

Scream in the madness that claws at what's left of me. 

Lost in the throat of the world. 

Ground down then crushed into pieces and swept away, 

One altercation's still left for me to repay, 

Lie down and die in the light from a colder sun. 

I can't be the... 

First to cast the stone, 

Into the throat of the world 

The first to fall, 

Into the throat of the world.
