[Intro]
I don't want to know, I shut it down
That's my freedom, as long as you're around
All that I once held as true
Always brings me back to you
You may think I should have known
No one here but not alone
Darkness feeds upon my soul
From grief I'll rise
From grief I stole

[Verse 1]
When I have a moment of pure delight
As if I am pulling the wrong to right
I can take this for granted but I'm way too old
In search for the answers, the trail went cold

[Chorus]
While I'm alive, I won't let them near us
I stand by your side
Feeding the hounds of existence
The hounds of existence

[Verse 2]
Nothing is hollow, it's lack of light
We live among time thieves in a scarlet night

[Chorus]
While I'm alive, I won't let them near us
I stand by your side
Feeding the hounds of existence
The hounds of existence
While I'm alive, I won't let them near us
I stand by your side
Feeding the hounds of existence
The hounds of existence

[Bridge 1]
While I'm alive, I won't let them near
While I'm alive, feeding the hounds that are hidden
Between the restrained and forbidden
We hold on to all that is pure
When everything's here but a cure
Everything's here but stay hidden
Between the restrained and forbidden
We hold on to all that is pure
When everything's here but a cure
Everything's here but a cure

[Bridge 2]
Swim in cold waters
Sink like a stone
Swim in cold waters
Carry on
At the end of the world
We'll find a shore
We'll find a shore

[Chorus]
While I'm alive, I won't let them near us
I stand by your side
Feeding the hounds of existence
The hounds of existence

[Outro]
Hidden
Forbidden
All that is pure
Pure
Hidden
Between the restrained and forbidden
We hold on to all that is pure
When everything's here but a cure
Everything's here but a
Cure
