First sworn miles met with oaths to more yet Forever named, each step introduces the next And how nothing is that is not both Kiss and maim, reap and sow This began long before I’d known I k**ed what I called home To make damn clear that I was worth my words And that they are something living Not just scratches on a page Not just promises made They are the beast that I ride Number of times I tried to tell them Number of times I saw the fear in their eyes Number of times I swore before great sights The heights I’d climb, climb
Number of times I washed my hands of that evil, evil, evil Number of times I’ve said this all before I k**ed what I called home To make damn clear that I was worth my words And that they are something living Not just scratches on a page Not just promises made They are the beast that I ride Old blood in new veins Ooh, it’s sick if it stays Where it no longer lives Oh, how it fights to not die But it did and so it needs to Motionless in sky- Emotionless, it hides And I ain't gonna die like that
