The Mark Lyrics by Overkill

ReliXIV

2005

[Verse 1]
Steal it, take it
Know my name in loving memory
Sand it, brand it
In your brain, a forthright eulogy
I am but a sinner here
My faults are underlined
I have but to hold you near
To cleanse the sins of time

[Pre-Chorus]
I have known you all too well
I have shown you all too well
I have thrilled you all too well
I have filled you
With the sense of
What you need to

[Chorus]
Speak up
Calling my name out
Break up
The shattering of doubt
This is where you start
With nails run through your heart
Leave the name burned in the brain
Leave your mark

[Verse 2]
Find it, blind it with your light
Or curse to be alive
Will it, kill it in your night
Commit yourself to thrive
You are but a sinner here
Each breath is now your crime
You have but to shed a tear
To wash away the time

[Pre-Chorus]
I have known you all too well
I have shown you all too well
I have thrilled you all too well
I have filled you
With the sense of
What you need to

[Chorus]
Speak up
Calling my name out
Break up
The shattering of doubt
This is where you start
With nails run through your heart
Leave the name burned in the brain
Leave your mark

[Interlude]

[Bridge 1]
Give me your principles, values, and hope
Or I'll take them away
Not so convincible if you can't cope
Or rise to the day
Worn out the morals that lit up the path
Now gone to the dark
Frayed are the laurels igniting the wrath
They left to the mark
Wrap me in darkness, wrap me in night
Wrap me in indestructible light

[Bridge 2]
Way down the road, it's better
Believe me
Way down the road, it's gone
(Gone, gone, yeah, yeah)
Carry the load, it's harder
Believe me
Carry it to your dawn
(Never to follow you)

[Outro]
Way down the road, it's better
Believe me
Way down the road, it's gone
(Gone, gone, yeah, yeah)
Carry the load, it's harder
Believe me
Carry the lightning rod
(Lightning rod
Never to follow you)

Way down the road, it's better
Believe me
Way down the road, it's gone
Gone, gone, yeah, yeah
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Carry the load, it's harder
Believe me
Carry it to...
