Lyrics:

I'm not a god--I never said so
I'm not a fool--I never lied
I am not a king--I don't decide
No
I'm not wrong, I'm not wrong

I'm not a shame--I shouldn't hide
We are not weak--we live inside
We are your hands
Without the low you would not survive
You would not survive

Release me
Go ahead
Release me
My arms don't matter
I can take this pain

Release me
Go ahead
Cut the cord
Release me
Ideas don't die when
You kill the source

Are you scared?
When you throw me around
Can you feel the eyes
of the crowd?
How do you know when you're
On the stand
Judgement is forthcoming
You're running
From the things that you don't understand
You fear what you don't understand

Release me
Go ahead
Release me
One life doesn't matter
I can take this hate

Release me
Don't be weak
Let it go
Release me
My blood is my weapon
Let it fall below

But she
She's innocent
Don't let her suffer
For what I've done
You can break me
You can hurt me
You can shoot me
(whispered) But I'm the one you want
Release me

Release me
Go ahead
Release me
Your blood doesn't matter
You cannot change time

Release me
Don't be weak
Let it fly
Release me
My words are my weapons
Let my body die

Artist commentary:

not-the-kind-you-save:

A song about the death of troll jegus requires a certain amount of drama, which is nothing big orchestral chords can't fix. The lyrics are a combination of things the Signless is thinking to himself and "saying" to the people around him, in particular Darkleer. I wanted to create a sense of urgency, and the feeling that while the Signless is saying over and over that he doesn't care if he dies, he may be lying. Musically, I wanted to portray a since of racing thoughts, which means there isn't really a conventional song structure. The vocals are echoey for aesthetic. Enjoy!

Oskarna:

This song marks the end of the Signless' life, encapsulating what would have been his last thoughts and words. I wanted to portray the sort of emptiness that happens after he has gotten his wish, and show the mark he leaves even in death.
