Breathe Lyrics

You will release your life
Forgetting what's forsaken the reason why
You are alone again
You will believe the lie
Judging from what you've taken
You breathe, alive
You are alone again

From the heart of darkness
You call to me
Spirit raging on
There is nothing I can do
For you are next to no one

You will release your life
Joining with the god damned world
Of the dead and the lonely
You'll never leave alive
Now do you think you're too damn good
For the killing kind

You will begin to cry
Hearing the silence breaking
You breathe, alive
But you are alone again

From the heart of darkness
You call to me
Spirit raging on
There is nothing I can do
For you are next to no one

You will release your life
Joining with the god damned world
Of the dead and the lonely
You'll never leave alive
Now do you think you're too damn good
For the killing kind

You will release your life
Forgetting what's forsaken
You breathe, alive
You are alone again

You will release your life
Joining with the god damned world
Of the dead and the lonely
You'll never leave alive
Now do you think you're too damn good
For the killing kind

Nothing I can do

This song is just great i love the chorus i think it represents people that are self centered and when the finally realize its to late to change

For me this song was always like a family unit. Theres someone outside the family unit talking to someone inside, telling him how bad it is, and apparently it's downright horrible. He's telling him he can't ever escape without doing something drastic, cause its come too far to be stoped now. But this persion is also saying he can't save him, for hes the only one who can do it.

Lyrics correction: It's supposed to be "Joining with the God DAMNED world of the dead and the lonely" Not "God Damn"

I thought in one the lines he was saying you breathe a lie.

@expand: Actually, the couple letters make a difference. "The goddamn world" signifies hatred towards the world. "The God-Damned world" signifies a world that has been damned by a God. Slightly different, but it does make a difference in how to percieve it.

well after reading the lyrics over and over again, I stumbled on the first part, "you will release your life forgetting what is forsaken the reason why you are alone again you will believe the lie judging from what you have taken you breathe alive you are alone again." so , since there whole cover is about religion and this is a religious theme obviously , i interpreted it as the lie being the garden of eden, when eve was decieved and believed the lie, that she could make decisions on her own independantly form god "judging from what youve taken" (hence the forbidden fruit), . after I interpreted it as that I noticed that part that states "you breathe alive, you are alone again" so, mankiind has continued breathing and is alive, however they are alone from god. and then he goes on to sing "you will release your life, joining with the goddamned world.......of the dead and lonely you will never leave alive, now do you think you are too damn good for the killing kind" , there I thought still that this world is damned for destruction and do people think they are too damn good for the killing kind. that the world has released their lives, and they won't leave alive." hence no one will escape the destruction of evil mankind that continues on their own away from god. I hope this doesn't confuse anyone, but this is my interpretation of what he meant, also if anyone noticed those really tiny words in the middle of the lyrics that divides the sections, it almost explains davids meaning of the cd and why it is called believe.
