Heartless Lyrics - Pallbearer

Piercing stare 

Perceive the heart that I am holding 

Metallic trails 

Stream down my arms 

It loved to swear 

Upon the lies that it foretold to me 

And I: its pawn 

Guided blindly unto harm 

Laid so bare 

all that's visible is crimson 

Still feel its primal song 

Though hollowed out inside 

I prepare 

To drink deep it's well of wisdom 

Rend away the sinew 

fitting, bitter ending to its spite 

In my hands 

To carve away 

A lifeless star 

Makes darkest day 

Beyond reprieve 

No more to stray 

Silenced call 

Extinguished flame 

There, it's done 

I've ended its dominion 

Blood red tyrant 

Now overthrown 

Empty chest 

Without familiar rhythm 

Its knowledge, mine 

Deepest secrets, shown 

As cold as ancient stone 

The ruined heart has been disowned 

The pain is mine, and mine alone 

Its grievances at last atoned
