The Resurrection - The Agonist

My body lay frozen in the finest attire

Even with eyes shut

I can hear the looks on their faces

Every mourning mash worn with insecurity

These things always bring a few

They come to pay respect to their own shattered dream

Sorry to disappoint but today is not that day

Your crocodile tears will have to wait it seems

Close your eyes, just a moment

Listen to the frame dissolve into horizon

Pick a side, choose your color

Wave your flag … away from the fences

At last you can hear the sound of your heart beating

For just a moment

Don’t you dare, ring that bell

I will claw through the dirt

To all that came, my apologies

This book still has pages left unwritten

A story familiar to those bitten

I will claw through the dirt

To all that came, my apologies

This book still has pages left unwritten

Take these coins off my eyes

I’m not ready to be put down

If only you could hear the screaming in my mind

Take these coins off my eyes

The action breaks the rules

We create, we decide

Security’s your box

Art is our line

These coins aren’t sewn to my eyes

Take these coins off our eyes

Forget all you thought you knew

You won’t put us down

Scratch our names off your list

You’ll never put us down!

Put us down!
