lyrics
Empty is a shark in shallow water
Empty is my skin when my wits go cold as ice
And in that moment when the emptiness escapes me
Lost in silence of the calm before the fall
Black flags fly
No disguise
Empty is a hole I fill with murder
Empty is a box I fill with fear of dying alone
No surprise
Hot lead finds home
Close my eyes and start my prayer
But angels cannot find me here, no
Fill my lungs and try to scream
So demons can't hold on to me, no
This is not my time
Not my day to die
Empty is the hand of the oppressor
Empty is the heart that offers help by taking away
And every life it steals the emptiness gets bolder
Growing like a cancer on the souls that bend and obey
Black flags fly
No disguise
Empty is a word I fill with hatred
Empty is a promise made in haste to one that I love
No surprise
Hot lead finds home
Close my eyes and start my prayer
But angels cannot find me here, no
Fill my lungs and try to scream
So demons can't hold on to me, no
This is not my time
Not my day to die
Empty is my skin when my wits go cold as ice
And in that moment when the emptiness escapes me
Lost in silence of the calm before the fall
Black flags fly
No disguise
Empty is a hole I fill with murder
Empty is a box I fill with fear of dying alone
No surprise
Hot lead finds home
Close my eyes and start my prayer
But angels cannot find me here, no
Fill my lungs and try to scream
So demons can't hold on to me, no
This is not my time
Not my day to die
Empty is the hand of the oppressor
Empty is the heart that offers help by taking away
And every life it steals the emptiness gets bolder
Growing like a cancer on the souls that bend and obey
Black flags fly
No disguise
Empty is a word I fill with hatred
Empty is a promise made in haste to one that I love
No surprise
Hot lead finds home
Close my eyes and start my prayer
But angels cannot find me here, no
Fill my lungs and try to scream
So demons can't hold on to me, no
This is not my time
Not my day to die

about
The Vailix Charlottesville, Virginia
The Vailix is a female fronted hard rock band whose music is based on a sci-fi storyline called "The Tales of the Cloud
Ocean".
Powerful vocals soar above riff-heavy guitars, grinding bass, and thunderous drums as they turn narration and images into songs that drive just as intensely as the story from which they spring.
The Vailix is a unique, and heart-pounding experience from start to finish!
