Lyrics:

Dig a hole
But worried for our souls
Saves us from the grave
Unsheath the sword
But scared of the unknown
Stays us from the blade
Walk the ledge
But fear of the end
Freezes us on the edge
Tie the rope
But hanging by a thread
We pray there's still a chance

The keeper of light leads the way
Demonstrating in defiance of faith
The path to freedom a price to pay
The cost of life a fall from grace

Seek escape
But thoughts of afterlife
Keeps us still alive
Turn to fate
But waiting for the end
Our suffering extends
Relieve the pain
But needles and the drink
Their powers never last
Release your hand
Let go of the past
And fall into the depths

The reaper of souls lends his gaze
Revealing the path to the immortal plane
Feel his touch end your days
Let it take the light away

Build a home
Start a journey
Find a reason
Let it go

Lose all hope
Watch it burn
Commit self treason
Free your soul

Dig a hole
Dreaming of the path
Leads us to the grave
Unsheath the sword
Weary of the wrath
We drag along the blade
Walk the ledge
Gravity's strength
Pulls us off the edge
Tie the rope
Hanging by the neck
A smile on our lips
