Out For The Count After the fall Lyrics

Sometimes I wake up with that taste... a taste of steel in my mouth.
It's the remains of what is real in that life.
We all have demons inside, hidden like a dead body inside of a trunk,
Ready to jump out like a lion when its cage is unlocked.
There are no seasons in hell, and I'd rather be burnt and free
than being safe in a shell.

I don't cast no spell on the fate 'cause those who tried they failed.
Son, the strength I was given leads me through paths ungravelled
and ejects any regrets that my mirror reflects.
I have no remorse in my heart, 'cause I'm in peace with myself.

I clapped at the funeral of what you care about above all,
'cause then, my friend, you'll learn to fill up a hole and to rise up again.
'cause after the fall always come the cold and the pain,
but then, you'll see, someday the spring blooms again.

After the fall come the cold and the pain.
There are no seasons in hell, and I'd rather be burnt and free
than being safe in a shell.

Armed by the harms of life, I've learned to whet my knife
on those wounds engraved in my flesh and heart,
'cause it strikes harder when it hurts.
I can almost see clear now, and that vision is raw.
Part of what I am is what I been through.
I'll slice any curse with my claws.

I clapped at the funeral of what you care about above all,
'cause then, my friend, you'll learn to fill up a hole and to rise up again.
'cause after the fall always come the cold and the pain,
but then, you'll see, someday the spring blooms again.

I don't cast no spell on the fate 'cause those who tried they failed.
Son, the strength I was given leads me through paths ungravelled
and ejects any regrets that my mirror reflects.
I have no remorse in my heart 'cause I'm in peace with my self.
