Oblivion Lyrics

Time doesn't erase
The demons you don't see
Still dancing in your dreams
Dragging up all the ways
Temptation's overgrown
Looks like we're all alone
Truth is karma don't lie
So let me show you why

Can't keep me here in the dark
I'll set you off like a spark
Into oblivion
(Into oblivion)
Can't shake me down to the bone
I'll turn you back into stone
Into oblivion

Rise, wrath of the rage
Those spineless spirits bleed
Behold the alchemy
Crawling out of my skin
Shed every trace of you
Just one last thing to prove

Truth is karma don't lie
So let me show you why

Can't keep me here in the dark
I'll set you off like a spark
Into oblivion
Into oblivion
Can't shake me down to the bone
I'll turn you back into stone
Into oblivion
Into oblivion
Can't keep me here in the dark
I'll set you off like a spark
Into oblivion

Ayy-oh
Ayy-oh
Ayy-ah

Ayy-oh
Ayy-oh
Ayy-ah

Ayy-oh
Ayy-oh
Ayy-ah

So let me show you why

Can't keep me here in the dark
I'll set you off like a spark
Into oblivion
(Into oblivion)
Can't shake me down to the bone
I'll turn you back into stone
(Into oblivion
Into oblivion)

Can't keep me here in the dark
I'll set you off like a spark
Into oblivion
(Into oblivion)
Can't shake me down to the bone
I'll turn you back into stone
Into oblivion
