lyrics

Consumed by the beast!

Let's end this for good and don't you dare hold anything back.
There's not a thing I can't conquer when my heart is set.
I swear to god this time I won't be ignored 'cause I've been waiting on so much more.
So do your worst.
I've been ready for this and there's nothing that could make me turn my back.
I will be everything that you said I wouldn't be.

It feels like it's almost over.
I gave my life for the things I love 'cause is everything to me.
I've never been reaching out so high to try and take everything that is mine.
This is everything to me; that must mean something...

Everyday I'm in the face of devourment and I can't help but feel that I'm slowly sinking deeper and deeper until my lungs feel weak.
It keeps pulling me under and keeps getting colder.
I cannot feel a thing but I can still see the surface so I will not be dragged in the deep, even if swallowed alive.

So give me all you've got.
I will fight forever.

This is the world that I have dreamed of.
I gave my life for the things I love, 'cause this is everything to me.
I've never felt so alive. This time I finally have what's mine.
This is everything to me. That must mean something...

That's something you can't take from me.
