Verse 1
It gets a bit colder, each day I gain more control
It gets a bit safer, the more I detach from those I know
Absence of heartbeat, I stare a lifeless vacant stare
Obsessed with destiny, A chilling epitaph born from the nightmare

I live, Endure, A captive,
Each day, Clichéd, Driven, To hate

Chorus
I am the living dead
The faceless rank and file
Despair is all that remains
No protests, just rules
The sanctuary of structure
The emptiness replaces pain
Cipher

Verse 2
I grow a bit weaker, I grow dispassionate and functional
The shame and horror, That burns within the rational
No pain to break me, I feel solace in solitude
A defining misery, When life finally became so real it was too much

To bear, Terrified, To care,
Terrified, To lose, Or trust, And be used

Chorus
I am the living dead
The faceless rank and file
Despair is all that remains
No protests, just rules
The sanctuary of structure
The emptiness replaces pain
Cipher

Mid-section
Cold to the touch
Blood turns to stone
Pale ashen skin

Solo: 20 Secs

Chorus
I am the living dead
The faceless rank and file
Despair is all that remains
No protests, just rules
The sanctuary of structure
The emptiness replaces pain
Cipher
