Lyrics: Timothy C Ames
Music: Timothy C Ames
Take me back where it all began
To the dark place I once knew
A haunted path I walk again
My requiem for you
The past will not die when the dead cannot rest
What's left of my light will be put to the test
You and I are survivors, burdened with scars inside us
Each one, a memory unfading for all the faces beyond saving
I feel shadows stalking me
Only echoes talk to me
My weapon's like a mother's warmth
All I got to comfort me
How can I make her proud?
Pick up myself off the ground
'Cause I know she would've told me
"Your eyes aren't meant to look down"
I'll keep her burnin' hope alive
Even if it goes cold in time
I'll never say I'm gettin' too old for this shit
Like a good hairstyle, I don't know when to quit
Leave it to Kennedy to set a precedent
Eradicate all evil that is resident
Check out my ride, I got a raise
The definition of "finer with age"
Sorry, now, ladies, out of my way
There's always a fight to which I'll be engaged
Stompin' on these zombies' skulls, now they know what's poppin', fam
Keep your head low unless both your shoulders want it off of them
I got you Tyrants down to a science
Try me and you'll get toppled, man
Then when I'm finished, I'll hit the gym with Chris
Let's get a pump, my friend
But I know making gains doesn't erase the pain
Some weight I'll always carry, running in my achin' veins
This city devoured the boy that I was, spit back out a man
I lost myself, but I've not forgotten him
I thought forever was time we had
My blood remembers each drop I've shed
If I got half a heartbeat left
I'll evolve with every breath
I won't forget her
Blood remembers
Take me back where it all began
To the dark place from my dreams
A haunted path I walk again
A requiem for me
The eyes of a child will be blind to some monsters
Let my light be her guide through this nightmare that's not hers
Courage is not the absence of fear
Rather in spite of it, fighting to persevere
Mama never thought I'd ever see
Myself become what you were for me
Action when I'm on the scene
Doggy, don't bark up my tree
My time is precious, so I don't play 'round
Now that I'm infected, I won't stay down
Get back up, give a knuckle-full
To any undead tryna run their mouth at all
Doctor, this one's inoperable
Got any chainsaws in this hospital?
I'm cuttin' through the horde like butter with a sword
Leavin' every boss' butt a little sore
Wherever corrupt tentacles are stretchin'
I'll be the knife severin' the connection
Mowin' down your corporate thugs while I mog your ugly mugs
Gen-Z-Wesker-wannabe, only got room for one hunk, it's me
How many imitations now riddled with mutations?
Can you believe where we began?
Who I was, far from who I am
I thought forever was time we had
My blood remembers each drop I've shed
If I got half a heartbeat left
I'll evolve with every breath
I won't forget her
Blood remembers
