There's a place that I've found
As far as I can see
This place lies within
The depths of my dreams
In a garden surrounded
By fire and trees
Through the smoke a silhouette I can barely see
There's a man with an axe
Standing in the rain
Looked me straight in the eye
This is what he had to say
Never fall asleep
You won't wake up
Destroy the guillotine
Before he does
I walk with shadows
(You have to find a better way)
I walk with shadows
(The questions I will never say)
Hiding from the gallows
(They keep me safe and sound)
So I walk with shadows
(The ways of burning down this house)
End transmission
The satellites are down
I need an earthquake
To shake this pity
OFF THE GROUND
Just don't trust these liars at the door
(You have to find a better way
Kill the ones that have these answers for
(The questions I will never say)
Never fall asleep
You won't wake up
Destroy the guillotine
Before he does
I walk with shadows
(You have to find a better way)
I walk with shadows
(The questions I will never say)
Hiding from the gallows
(They keep me safe and sound)
So I walk with shadows
(The ways of burning down this house)
End transmission
The satellites are down
I need an earthquake
To shake this pity
Off the ground
All the vibrant colors I see
And the shades that fill the grey
Pain
The pain
Pain
The pain
Pain
The pain
Pain
The pain
Pain

Hiding from the gallows
(You have to find a better way)
I walk with shadows
(The questions I will never say)
Hiding from the gallows

So I walk with shadows

escape the fate really is awesome. i would love to wae thick eyeliner like all you guys seem to bring up except my mom won't let me ( i know how lame that sounds) and some people if they didn't know me may think i'm some sort of a prep but i really really am not. i am "emo" although i hate that term because it's used in such a negative way usually. escape the fate is an amazing band. alot of people misjudge it because their sound sound suicidal if you can't understand the hidden meanings in it. trevor did a really good job in understanding it all. amazing :)
Wow, Trevor, I completely agree with you. I wear black, I wear eyeliner (although it's certainly different, being a girl; I still wear thick black eyeliner that people would assume to be "emo"), I have three tattoos chosen that I plan to start getting when I turn 16 (one in memory of my late grandmother, one the Cancer zodiac sign, and one being an Escape The Fate lyric), and I worship God.
I'd also like to add that Escape The Fate was so much better with Ronnie, not because his voice was better or because I like him more (Craig is an excellent singer/screamer & I have nothing against him), but because Ronnie's lyrics were much more meaningful than Craig's are. It really bothers me, because Escape The Fate - whose music has affected me greatly - will never be the same with Craig. :(
Anywho, amazing song.
ive heard this song many times before and i im reading this series called the left behind series (kids) haha the adult one is too boring for me but the point is the book is based on the predictions in the bible such as the rapture when jesus takes the belivers and then gives the people that dont believe another chance and during this time they have to face all of these plauges and disasters that occur and one of them is a worldwide earthquake and when he says "I need an earthquake To shake this pity Off the ground" i just thought of the book and how the earthquake changes some peoples perspective and i doubt thats what he meant by the song of course but thats how i interprate it after all apocalypse refers to the end of the world and thats what the earthquake eventually leads up to.
this song is awesome. i loved etf ever since i heard the first 3 seconds to one of their songs (which was situations).. and i've been to their concert this year in Feb. The band isn't the same with Ronnie, thats obvious. but they're still a great band. Craig is an amazing singer/screamer. He performs their old songs just as well. The only part that makes me angry at Craig is how he changed lyrics so much.. like Ronnie's lyrics are deep and Craigs just aren't. If that makes sense to you? but im still a big fan!!
Escape The Fate going to Warped 09!!
