I am nothing but an empty shell
blinded by hate
filled with memories I cannot erase
And it’s cold there’s no escape
Now I fear I’m only breathing to seal your fate

Is this the way
To finding relief?
I need a way or I fear that I will burn

I will burn
All my enemies
And with my wrath
Burn what’s left of me
When daylight comes
I stand alone
I will burn


Loss for loss
System of hate
All in balance
Light the match and set it ablaze
Blood for blood
Pain for pain
Drive a nail into the coffin and mark the grave

Is this the way
To finding some peace?
I need a way

I will burn
All my enemies
And with my wrath
Burn what’s left of me
When daylight comes
I stand alone
I will burn


I want to rip it out
And feel it break beneath my feet
It means nothing
It means nothing to me
You mean nothing
You mean nothing to me
Empty shell
The system will repeat
Empty shell
The system will repeat
But the rain falls on us all
The broken and the whole
If we need to carry on
Oh God, the system has to fall




Behind the Song:
ACT II: Rage and Collapse
Tracks: 'Burn', 'Liminal', 'Gnasher', 'Heretic'

'Burn' shows an internal transformation into rage, vengeance, and nihilism—“I will burn all my enemies”. It reflects a character consumed by hatred, caught in cycles of pain (“blood for blood, pain for pain”).
