Courage Under Fire

from Cold Blooded by Seven Cities Dead

/

lyrics

Can't believe what I've done, who have I become
Naked and afraid of my irrational reasoning
I need to break it all down, strip away the veneer
Shall I stay in this pit of vipers or find the will to break my pride
Or die inside

What am I hiding, where is the source of the burning negativity
I push away the ones I love without even realizing
When and where am I applying the pressure
Backed into a corner on my own accord

Digging in my heels, ready to lash out
Shoulders tense, shallow breath
Feeling all my lies ready to break down
Burning eye, riving lips
My courage is under fire

The earth tremors right beneath my feet
My foundations are breaking
I can't shake it, I won't fake it
Adversity shows whats underneath

The fire burns everything in its way
Destruction has its own sense of beauty
As we learn from death’s view of equality
It's up to us to make it bloom into tranquility

In this power struggle, find no defeat
The cost of ascension finds your shoulders frail and weak

The earth tremors right beneath my feet
My foundations are breaking
I can't shake it, I won't fake it
Adversity shows what's underneath

My past sins rain down on everything I hold dear
Flesh dies with age, what we stand for lives in our memory
For better or worse I’m here to stay

There is no turning back, too far in the abyss
For there is no courage, without a worthy nemesis
Too far in the abyss, no courage without a nemesis

The earth tremors right beneath my feet
My foundations are breaking
Cause I can take it, I won’t fake it
Adversity won’t change me
