lyrics

Running down to zero
So weary from the desperate moments
Somewhere in this labyrinth of regret
I'll learn to rule my destiny and
My mind is too preoccupied
By useless bits of information
I'll take time to breath the dark
And I'll sit in the silence lifeless

As delicate as a razor
As dangerous as a dream
We'll set the trap in motion
We'll see it all spiraling down

Left to my devices
I'm orchestrating my own downfall
Stuck inside this sterile plastic wasteland
I'll begin to glean perfection
And still it seems like
I'm resting in the fulcrum
Sifting through the debris of myself
I'm smiling at the viciousness

As delicate as a razor
As dangerous as a dream
We'll set the trap in motion
We'll see it all spiraling down

And we sing the self defeating symphony
20,000 leagues below the sea of bitterness
Running scared from what were so affected by
One day I'll escape and I'll feel that
Light wash over me

Crowned the king of my own ice age
Crowned the king of my own ice age
Crowned the king of my own ice age

As delicate as a razor
As dangerous as a dream
We'll set the trap in motion
We'll see it all spiraling down

And we sing the self defeating symphony
20,000 leagues below the sea of bitterness
Running scared from what were so affected by
One day I'll escape and I'll feel that
light wash over me

And we sing the self defeating symphony
Just one more self fulfilling prophecy
And we sing the self defeating symphony
Just one more self fulfilling prophecy

With geographic odds stacked against them, a Midwest band that sought to bring metal to a deprived scene in 2001; The Coventry Sacrifice was formed.
They have supported many national and international acts of platinum and gold record acclaim. This is a band which truly stands out and victimizes its audience with an extreme onslaught of their own unique take on melodic death metal. ... more
