(Verse 1)
Why do we have to die just to see the light?
Why do I bare myself so you can feel the fire inside?
Is my body cold enough to temper your rage?
Am I better off dead than trapped in this cage?

They call it redemption, drowning in lies,
Perfuming their lives with false needs to survive.
Are you truly alive if you’re not wholly yourself,
Or just a shadow placed back on a shelf?

(Pre-chorus)
φῶνος, φῶνος
φῶνος, φῶνος

(Chorus)
Take this blade, press it to your throat,
Cut it fast — don’t hesitate, don’t gloat.
Prove yourself, find who you are,
Take this blade, come on — φῶνος.

(Verse 2)
Are we human, do we even have a heart?
Do you feel pain, do you tear apart?
Are the rivers water, or are they tears?
Is the sky as deep as the sea through the years?

Won’t you create a new world, something rare?
Have you dreamed of more than daily despair?
Do you feel the hunger that never lets go,
That human craving of always wanting more?

(Pre-chorus)
φῶνος, φῶνος
φῶνος, φῶνος

(Chorus)
Take this blade, press it to your throat,
Cut it fast — don’t hesitate, don’t gloat.
Prove yourself, find who you are,
Take this blade, come on — φῶνος.

(Bridge)
If you must take a step ahead,
Do it, don’t look back, don’t be misled.
Even if you jump into an endless hole,
Do it, don’t ask why, don’t lose your soul.

Whenever they tell you “you can’t”, defy —
Do it to prove to yourself they lie.
If you must sacrifice, go through the pain,
You’ll be reborn as something new again. (φῶνος)

Give your blood to something greater,
If you’re stuck in this life, be a creator. (φῶνος)
Start anew and again, and again, and again,
Until you find what you were made to attain.

(Outro)
φῶνος, φῶνος — leave everything behind.
φῶνος, φῶνος — abandon yourself and find.
φῶνος, φῶνος — abandon, reborn, redefine.

Take this blade
