Her Portrait In Black Lyrics
Atreyu
Lyrics
Hold your breath quiet now dont say a word
You could run (but) it wont do any good
Prayers forsaken when you lose faith inside
It's not time to die
Your life
Is it a lie
When you get what your looking for
Your cravings subside
Or will you crawl into
A casket
An early tomb
Lay down and give up inside
She'd rather die
When you fall
So spent from emotion
She is what
Brings you to your feet
Where challenges lie
On the verge of destruction
She pulls you back
And she gives you wings
(death wont hold you as tight as she will)
Can you feel her
burnin' through your veins
She will always live forever
(Can you bear the burden?)
Can you feel her
burnin' through your veins
She will always live forever
(Can you bear the burn?)
you'll turn your back, you'll patronize
She's pleading
You will question your every want
She's bleeding out
She's bleeding out
She's bleeding out
Death won't hold you as tight as she will
Can you feel her burnin' through your veins
She will always live forever
(Can you bear the burn?)
Can you feel her running through your veins
She will always live forever
She's bleeding out
She's bleeding out
She's bleeding out
Death won't hold you as tight as she will
Can you feel her running through your veins
She will always live forever
(Can you bear the burden?)
Can you feel her running through your veins
She will always live forever
(Can you bear the burden?)
Can you feel her burnin' through your veins
She will always live forever
(an you bear the burden?)
Can you feel her running through your veins
She will always live forever
(Can you bear the burn)
Can you feel her burnin' through your veins
She will always live forever
