* Shortened Ver. Lyrics
* Full Lyrics

I walked down a path

Leading to the past

Stole from the tree's hands

A regretter's friend -- the forbidden fruit

I bite off the skin

Chewing on its tender flesh

Quaff down its lukewarm pus

You became the "me" who you despised

We swallowed the time

Let us rewind

Lament

 *(Nell inferna)* If you wanted me to live

 If you want me to forgive

 If you want us to pretend like we're civilized humans

 *(Ques te anim?)* Each loop we die through (Each loop we die through)

 *(Ques sej mentalle?)* The justice inside me, *(Ques io fuocca?)* the ego fending me

 *(Ques qui Diavola?)* Rationalize my sin

Lament

 *(Cossa non naturha)* Why do deaths end my torture?

 *(Via si violenzalle)* Why can't anyone feel my hurt?

 *(Bruschia sej diva Verha ignisa)*Why'd you crown the most violent to be champions?

 *(A! Lamenta, lamenta)* In this inferno (inferno)

 *(Cis senna, lamenta, lamenta, lamenta)* We built for ourselves

 *(Nell inferna)* Reviving each other in this hell

**[Verse 1]**

I walked down a path

Leading to the past

Stole from the tree's hands

A regretter's friend -- the forbidden fruit

I bite off the skin

Chewing on its tender flesh

Quaff down its lukewarm pus

You became the "me" who you despised

We swallowed the time

Let us rewind

**[Chorus]**

Lament

 If you wanted me to speak

 If you wanted me to think

 If you wanted me to carry on our dreams

 Each loop we live through (Each loop we live through)

 The standards inside me

 The line I drew for me

 Lowers to the earth

Lament

 Why'd you make my voice stutter?

 Why do truths never matter?

 Why'd you curse me with "you're a natural born genius"?

 Endless inferno (inferno)

 Counter-clock we rose

 Counter-clock we reload

**[Verse 2]**

Tick, tick, tock

Re-played thoughts

For get me not

I'm insidethe emphatic light

I bite off your skin

Exposing the angels on your ribs

They stare at us

"Hello, How may I help you today?"

Please, a one-way ticket to heaven

Buckled up on velvet seats

Sceneries were passing by

Not so different from our hell

Not so different from our home

Then I realized

Someone's heaven could be the source of my torment

Life is allowing yourself

Allowing yourself to step on fire,

(Life is to consume)

shed tears on bloodied routes

(Life is to become food for each other no matter evil or good)

(Life is fairness, life is inequality)

Eternally in hell

(Life is in the motion)

We Live

**By Default**

**[Chorus]**

Lament

 *(Nell inferna)* If you wanted me to live

 If you want me to forgive

 If you want us to pretend like we're civilized humans

 *(Ques te anim?)* Each loop we die through (Each loop we die through)

 *(Ques sej mentalle?)* The justice inside me, *(Ques io fuocca?)* the ego fending me

 *(Ques qui Diavola?)* Rationalize my sin

Lament

 *(Cossa non naturha)* Why do deaths end my torture?

 *(Via si violenzalle)* Why can't anyone feel my hurt?

 *(Bruschia sej diva Verha ignisa)*Why'd you crown the most violent to be champions?

 *(A! Lamenta, lamenta)* In this inferno (inferno)

 *(Cis senna, lamenta, lamenta, lamenta)* We built for ourselves

 *(Nell inferna)* Reviving each other in this hell
