Empty is a shark in shallow water
Empty is my skin when my wits go cold as ice
And in that moment when the emptiness escapes me
Lost in silence of the calm before the fall
Black flags fly
No disguise
Empty is a hole I fill with murder
Empty is a box I fill with fear of dying alone
No surprise
Hot lead finds home
Close my eyes and start my prayer
But angels cannot find me here, no
Fill my lungs and try to scream
So demons can't hold on to me, no
This is not my time
Not my day to die
Empty is the hand of the oppressor
Empty is the heart that offers help by taking away
And every life it steals the emptiness gets bolder
Growing like a cancer on the souls that bend and obey
Black flags fly
No disguise
Empty is a word I fill with hatred
Empty is a promise made in haste to one that I love
No surprise
Hot lead finds home
Close my eyes and start my prayer
But angels cannot find me here, no
Fill my lungs and try to scream
So demons can't hold on to me, no
This is not my time
Not my day to die
