Glass Vest Lyrics

Fragile father. Deadly war machine.

Under the cover of darkness I saw my vest reflect in your eyes.
Broken and distressed, frozen to the bone, I came to follow the light.

Despair of all malnourished souls raised to die, of the weak that knew no better.
Demised, tyrannized, a soldier born to survive the madness of all malnourished souls
raised to fight against an enemy that knew no weakness. Demised, tyrannized, I was
solemnly born to survive.

A child solemnly born to survive.

Fragile father. War machine. Do I glorify you for my worthless existence?
Fragile father. War machine. Do you ever blame yourself? Do you ever feel the despair of all malnourished souls raised to die, of the weak that knew no better? Demised, tyrannized, a soldier born to survive the madness of all malnourished souls raised to fight against an enemy that knew no weakness.

Lost and hopeless, I was solemnly born to survive.

All I am, a soldier ready to give in. How much must I bleed and bleed to understand the war I live in.
All I have, a glass vest tight to my chest. Eternal strive for forgiveness, whilst no future can erase the past.

"War had no mercy, not a single unaffected soul. I sorrowed the death of a battalion, oh they weeped as I held them in my hands. Eternally wounded and incapable of affection.
I felt no fear, felt no shame, I felt nothing. I no more nourish life.. I shall never bleed the same."

I'm sorry, for I shall never bleed the same.

It's naught but an inhumane fate, to carry the weight of a dying world.
I fought for nothing, and lost everything. I carried the weight of a dying world.
Fragile father. War machine. Do I glorify you for my worthless existence?
Fragile father. War machine. Do you ever blame yourself? Do you ever feel the despair?
