There came a time when I could no longer feel
Numb to everything
There's no person in this place
Who could ever heal this race
But now I hear a voice
Calling to me
Beckoning
And I cannot turn away
You will always be that which you fear inside yourself
That emptiness
You will always feel the pain of the void within your soul
You'll only ever fill
With me
All these buildings
Heaving all around me
All the misery
And creatures
Spreading their excess and disease
I can feel it creeping into my waking thought
Embodying something deep within
And it won't go away (no)
But what is left for me
For this half empty shell
Tell me, anything I've ever felt
Was it ever real
Or should I trust this dream
Oh! You felt it there all the time
From the very day you were born
Destined to return
To the strength you once knew
So forsake it all
Rise, and we will be one
You will always be that which you fear inside yourself
That emptiness
You will always feel the pain of the void within your soul
You'll only ever fill
With me
