Cursed to Die Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Creations emanating between these shifting sands
The universe is turning in the palm of my hand
I will make the earthen clay exhuming breath of life
Behold the culmination of my regrets

[Pre-Chorus]
Sentience
To err is human
To forgive divine
A blessing of life
Cursed to die

[Chorus]
All will rise and fall, their flesh and bone
My sins and resolve permeate their desires
I am absolvеd within their design
My legacy will livе on

[Post-Chorus]
But is it enough to satisfy my legacy?

[Verse 2]
Millennia of waiting
Countless years come to pass
Separated from Chronos
This is my domain
I'm the face of death
My image, this eternal sin
Molded from everything
I hold within

[Pre-Chorus]
Sentience
To err is human
To forgive divine
A blessing of life
Cursed to die

[Breakdown]
We play the same keys in different times
It's in our nature to die
Powerless to the forces outside of our reach
I'm nothing but a man within a dream

[Chorus]
All will rise and fall, their flesh and bone
My sins and resolve permeate their desires
All will rise and fall, their flesh and bone
My sins and resolve permeate their desires
I am absolved within their design
My legacy will live on

[Guitar Solo]

[Outro]
But is it enough to satisfy my legacy?
But it's not enough, it's never enough to satisfy my legacy

What did Lorna Shore say about "Cursed to Die"?

Will Ramos:

In this song, the character is fully immersed in a dreamlike state. After realizing that they’re a god in the last song, now the person who controls this dream universe ends up making people in his own image, so he’s not alone in this world. He’s creating man, essentially, from his memories. He’s basically just trying to fill a void inside that can’t be filled. At this point, he starts second-guessing everything. ‘Did I do this for fulfillment? Am I feeling fulfilled?’ He’s not exactly sure. But he’s learning that reality is whatever you make it to be.
