The Last Firstborn

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Oh, man, I can't believe that you did what they said you did And to this day I've still gotta say that in my mind I question it I wish I knew what you had meant before you went And left me wondering to just an echo of your voice (Listen) (Listen) (Listen) (Listen) [Verse 2] Now I wait to take my turn to bleed like a kid playing with a razor blade And wonder if I have the balls at all or if I'm gonna be afraid Where are you? What do you think? 'Cause I'm not sure when knocking at Death's door If I will be welcomed in or be left alone outside [Pre-Chorus] [Non-English chant] [Chorus] I hear the sound of a heart from the shadow in the dark Waiting for the poison to hit its mark (Listen, my son) I see the darkness surround the shape on the ground The killer straight up and a body face down (Firstborn, last one) I hear the din of the screams, sorrow in streams The smell of farewell and gasoline (Listen, my son) I see a heart set free and my legacy Hear a voice from a shadow that is beckoning me (Firstborn, last one) [Verse 3] I guess there comes a point when you think to yourself "This isn't worth it, it isn't worth it" And now I feel what you felt, and now I feel what you felt inside, brother And now I feel what you felt: "This isn't worth it, it isn't worth it" (Listen) (My son) (Firstborn, last one) [Pre-Chorus] [Non-English chant] [Chorus] I hear the sound of a heart from the shadow in the dark Waiting for the poison to hit its mark (Listen, my son) I see the darkness surround the shape on the ground The killer straight up and a body face down (Firstborn, last one) I hear the din of the screams, sorrow in streams The smell of farewell and gasoline (Listen, my son) I see a heart set free and my legacy Hear a voice from a shadow that is beckoning me (Firstborn, last one) (Listen) [Bridge 1] I wish it didn't I wish it didn't I wish it didn't I wish it didn't end this way I wish it didn't I wish it didn't I wish it didn't I wish it didn't end this way I wish it didn't I wish it didn't I wish it didn't I wish it didn't end this way I wish it didn't I wish it didn't I wish it didn't I wish it didn't end this way I wish it didn't I wish it didn't I wish it didn't I wish it didn't end this way I wish it didn't I wish it didn't I wish it didn't I wish it didn't end this way [Verse 4] Live a life in hell through a mortal shell, asphyxiating smell For a crime, lifetime, imagination locked in a cell And to the other firstborn I see the same scene that must play over in your mind And now how much more I'm sure it's fucked with your head just like it's fucked up mine [Bridge 2] Listen My son Firstborn Last one The message you sent out to me I cannot change what's meant to be The message you sent out to me I cannot change what's meant to be (What am I supposed to do now?) [Final Pre-Chorus] [Non-English chant] [Chorus] I hear the sound of a heart from the shadow in the dark Waiting for the poison to hit its mark I see the darkness surround the shape on the ground The killer straight up and a body face down I hear the din of the screams, sorrow in streams The smell of farewell and gasoline (Listen) I see a heart set free and my legacy Hear a voice from a shadow that is beckoning me (My son) I hear the sound of a heart from the shadow in the dark Waiting for the poison to hit its mark (Listen, my son) I see the darkness surround the shape on the ground The killer straight up and a body face down (Firstborn, last one) I hear the din of the screams, sorrow in streams The smell of farewell and gasoline (Listen, my son) I see a heart set free and my legacy Hear a voice from a shadow that is beckoning me (Firstborn, last one) (Firstborn) You are the last one (Firstborn)
