Story behind the song

Cut the Lights is a great example of what we believe in as a band. It targets the impurities of individuals and the betrayal one feels because of it.

Lyrics

Thanks for stepping back
And letting us take our place
In a footing desperately used
Don't you feel betrayed?
The break will cause the boards to shift
And fall out of place
In a footing desperately used
Don't you feel betrayed?

Be one with fate (don't you feel betrayed)
The fire in our eyes is so bright
Be there for destiny (destiny)

Rip it out
Rest in pieces
The weeds grow thick and melt
The cross was put there for you
In all its perfection
We could be perfect
The fire fades away

Cut the lights
And hide behind your empty voice
'Cause all I see is a shattered room
Blanketed with a dusty mist of memories
It's too late to face my eyes
I said to you, smiling, "goodbye . . ."
I can so clearly imagine myself
Turning the hate into, blood
And hanging your body
To the pole of my, flag

There's a pressure in your thoughts
That's pushing the tears
It's making you think of existence
You can call me the giver of life
When I hold the pistol to your temples
And tell you everything you lived for will be forgotten

Give me a second thought of you existing in my life
And there won't be one last breath of you
Once you've tricked me for all its worth
And fallen below purity

TURN HATE INTO BLOOD

Kiss the hope from my hands
And fall backwards onto the pedals 
I've laid for you
See past what's believable 
And gaze into frames of unmovable emotions . . .
