  • Conviction was your shelter
    Boarded up, rejected, left behind
    To lower life where aimless spirits die
    Suffer your indifference
    Tie that troubled stone around your neck
    Exalt your fall and hear your mother's cry

    Colder now
    Thank your hopeful solitude it's colder now
    Throw your blackened heart into

    Resistance
    (You had reason in your hands and you walked away)
    Resistance
    (Your time will not outlive your debt to pay)
    Resistance
    (You had reason in your hands and you walked away)
    Resistance
    Defiance on this day

    This plague is not your Savior
    Turn the barrel's eyes upon this strife
    The truth, it will reveal that fading line

    Colder now
    Thank your hopeful solitude it's colder now
    Throw your blackened heart into

    Resistance
    (You had reason in your hands and you walked away)
    Resistance
    (Your time will not outlive your debt to pay)
    Resistance
    (You had reason in your hands and you walked away)
    Resistance
    Defiance on this day

    There is a kingdom beyond your eyes
    Whole of redemption, defining will
    The path of self is wrought with fatal lies
    Send them back to Hell

    Resistance
    (You had reason in your hands and you walked away)
    Resistance
    (Your time will not outlive your debt to pay)
    Resistance
    (You had reason in your hands and you walked away)
    Resistance
    Defiance on this day

    Send them back to Hell Writer/s: BRIAN ANTHONY FLORES, JOHN C. JR. HUNTER, JONATHAN A. SLOTT, JONATHAN GEER
