Pacing Death's Trail Lyrics

Compassion, confession
Resolve and compromise
Dedication, domination
Please define the lines

Mutation, innovation
Bear off to succeed
Retaliation, termination
Six lives and greed

Surrender to nothing
Run, as far as you can

I tried to
Hold on to what I believe in
But my heart
Is in a coma

Integration, redemption
A need to be seen
Directed, disrespected
Stand in line to be center of scene

Surrender to nothing
Run, as far as you can

I tried to
Hold on to what I believe in
But my heart
Is in a coma

Surrender to nothing
Run, as far as you can

I tried to
Hold on to what I believe in
But my heart
Is in a coma

Agression. Attention. A need to be seen. Directed. Disrespected. Stand in line to be thankful. Obscene.

Mmm...I think this song is about not surrendering or reaching compromises if you have to betray your ideals. But this happens very frequently in nowadays shallow society.

In the first verse is described the situation of our society: the situation is not clear, we always try to reach compromises, we move heaven and hell to be succesful, hiding behind fake smiles our greed...

Then we even end up to be aggressive and disrispectful just to be noticed, we throw away our dignity by ass-licking only to succeed. That's obscene.

In the chorus we are exhorted not to surrender to any compromise in this nothingness, or at least to run as far as we can, 'cause avoiding the problems sometimes is better than doing the wrong choice. He wants to hold onto something he believes, but in this shallow world his heart is in a coma...he can't feel anymore.

I agree with Ddautta, one on the heaviest song in CC, and pretty good title...it reminds us that death never stops its pace: someday, we all have to die, and we're following just death's trail while we're walking our path.

@Ivan The Jester this is definitely one of the heaviest (under Vacuum that is) it is for sure one of ny favorites and this meaning is to be agreed with

Great song, along with Take This Life the most brutal song on CC. I think it has one of the best IF song-titles ever.

It seems to be about someone who are struggling against unsurmountable odds, (and of course loosing,) but still making a stand. The title refers to walking the path to death, which is the outcome of the struggle he is loosing.

It's about life and our walk toward the grave, we're all heading there. "We live life like it's a big party, but there's a hangover"
