The Circle of Death

Inspired by Disturbed’s songs…

We are the animal inside my soul, my soul
We are the animal, so crack open my skull
We are going insane inside our wearisome brain
When will we be sane again? Is it all in vain?

We’re running around in the circle of death
We’re scorching our souls aflame once more, once more
We’re running around in circles, so take a breath
We’re neglecting our souls, so let the bodies hit the floor 

My brain is going insane on another lane of thought
All I have is the strength that I got and it’s not a lot
We’re running around in the circle of death, the circle of death
We’re in this vicious cycle of endlessness, losing our breath
In the circle of death…the circle of death…
We ran out of breath…there’s no way to breathe
In the circle of death…the circle of death…
We can’t handle the stress…we can’t go underneath

We are the animal inside my soul, my soul
We are the animal that is much like a bull
We are getting mad as a whole, so have some desire and watch the show
We are badass like the creatures, wandering ‘round the campfire below

We’re running around in the circle of death
We’re scorching our souls aflame once more, once more
We’re running around in circles, so take a breath
We’re neglecting our souls, so let the bodies fall to the floor 

My brain is going insane on another lane of thought
All I have is the strength that I got and it’s not a lot
We’re running around in the circle of death, the circle of death
We’re in this vicious cycle of endlessness, losing our breath
In the circle of death…the circle of death…
We ran out of breath…there’s no way to breathe
In the circle of death…the circle of death…
We can’t handle the stress…we can’t go underneath

Our solace waters of the deep, in which we reap,
Has followed us into darkness like long lost sheep
We are running in circles for the sake of our lives of fiery lamentation
We are running ‘round in circles, but we need a break from this desolation

We’re running around in the circle of death
We’re scorching our souls aflame once more, once more
We’re running around in circles, so take a breath
We’re neglecting our souls, so let the bodies collide to the floor 

My brain is going insane on another lane of thought
All I have is the strength that I got and it’s not a lot
We’re running around in the circle of death, the circle of death
We’re in this vicious cycle of endlessness, losing our breath
In the circle of death…the circle of death…
We ran out of breath…there’s no way to breathe
In the circle of death…the circle of death…
We can’t handle the stress…we can’t go underneath

Breathe in and out, breathe in and out
We will find a way out of here no doubt
Please have no fear or shed a tear…
We are but animals, needing to steer
Our way out of the abyssal, bizarre black hole
Everything once ugly now will become beautiful
We are running around in circles in vain,
Wishing and praying in the fire, in pain…acting oh so insane…

We’re running around in the circle of death
We’re scorching our souls aflame once more, once more
We’re running around in circles, so take a breath
We’re neglecting our souls, so let the bodies collapse to the floor 

My brain is going insane on another lane of thought
All I have is the strength that I got and it’s not a lot
We’re running around in the circle of death, the circle of death
We’re in this vicious cycle of endlessness, losing our breath
In the circle of death…the circle of death…
We ran out of breath…there’s no way to breathe
In the circle of death…the circle of death…
We can’t handle the stress…we can’t go underneath

We’re running around in the circle of death, the circle of cries
We’re in this vicious cycle of endlessness, nearing our demise
We are victims of darksome distress…
Chasing after decaying happiness…
We are the animal inside my soul, inside my soul in appall…
Get down upon your knees and repent before we all fall…
