The Forgotten

Lyrics

[Verse 1: Billy Obey] Dove into the abyss headfirst (aha) It's been eight years now since I left earth (ha) I remember falling down and how it happened so slowly I remember the expression of the crowd below me As I glide right through the air No wings, no thing could have made me (care) I recall a bright light pulsating, waiting, can I reach it, maybe Straining, clawing my way to the top Saw everything clearly when I suddenly dropped Through clouds that turned to flame As I fell into Hell like an early grave (grave) Why you ask, that's surely fate (hahaha) I could never pass through no pearly gates (hahaha) Been condemned and inside I break (hahaha) Please learn from my mistakes, now [Chorus: Lee Carver] Walk (walk) with us (with us) The damned through the land of The Forgotten (You follow forever) Where time don't exist (exist) and light (and light) is not an option (is not an option) (You follow forever) [Verse 2: Lee Carver] Plummet down the wishing well falling down the twelve steps It's not a cry for help, these are death threats Every attempt is progress I guess don't get distressed Motivational cassettes in the tape decks as I high-speed careen a stolen Riviera off the ridge into a ravine Burst into flames, watch me disintegrate (agh) Debris, smoke, guts and teeth and a license plate All they ever found, my descent's just begun In fact I free-fall to Hell in an elevator shaft I can hear 'em laugh, some scream and sob (congratulations, look at me, good job) Sliced off my ears, I can't hear they prayers Cast off Heaven's snares banished in the nine layers Godless, faithless, faceless, fallen Devoured by Gods in the land of The Forgotten [Chorus: Lee Carver] Walk (walk) with us (with us) The damned through the land of The Forgotten (You follow forever) Where time don't exist (exist) and light (and light) is not an option (is not an option) (You follow forever) [Verse 3: Joe Black] From the grave I escape filled with a burning hate (hate) On my way to Heaven, climb the pearly gates (gates) Then I said "fuck y'all" I jumped off, trust fall Wind starts to eat my skin falling at the speed of sin Feel myself breathe (breathe), heart starts to beat again (haha) Blessing or a curse? Sacrament or sacrifice? Resurrection in reverse, dying back to life (life) For the downtrodden in times of Dire Straits Pleadin' to The Forgotten, the promised land's the fire lakes Condemnation, trials, tribulation Prognostication Book of Revelations It's Hell on earth, death in the sky (sky) Step aside the end is nigh (nigh) Everybody dies, Heaven is a lie (lie) Armageddon I'ma lead you to the battle Sinners seeking shade, travel in my shadow, now [Chorus: Lee Carver] Walk (walk) with us (with us) The damned through the land of The Forgotten (You follow forever) Where time don't exist (exist) and light (and light) is not an option (is not an option) (You follow forever)
