Die Thoughts replaced by a placid romance Without movement, i can't escape Die Searching through the static Twisted and torn inside of Such blinding visions of destruction So i have to question Was this in the master plan? Now a broken future's all that we hold Broken Our broken future is all that we hold Our day draws To it's close Dusk Washes away Integrity now bleeds away As tired hearts are left to drain Do you see there faces when you fall asleep at night? Now they're nothing more than blood stained memories Blood stained memories
Kill the lights I'm so sick of your face Another night wasted wishing you away Now I'm cut, I'm cut at the wrist But i still can't kill the pain I'd give anything to rip you from my head From my head The return of your voice marks another failure And i can feel your blades closing on my back I'll savour this one last taste, this taste of sanity As it clutches, tearing at my heart This is my final act of desperation One second lost gives way to disease I'd give anything to rip you from my head Cause i can feel you Creeping through me Like a sickness Your weakness Scars your fucking face Scars your name The return of your voice Marks another failure And i can feel your blades Closing on my back As light fades to past Darkness wells against me But my shattered eyelids Refuse to close Your breathe is death to me
Shades drawn across No light may enter In my moment of weakness And this world is bearing down again So hard to clear my mind Why do i persist? I'll endure another day It's just so hard to resist And I can't continue on So hard to clear my mind To see the thoughts I wish were true My face versus the stone And I blame myself Plague my mind with these insecure thoughts Whispers in the back of my head Telling me it's all wrong Why do I persist? I'll endure another day Why do I persist? As self loathing strangles me Push past the veil of helplessness Love can't catch me, not today Take your hand and just surrender? It's just not worth it Why do I persist? I'll endure another day Why do I persist? Self loathing strangles me But I'll endure another day
Harmless? Don't make me laugh Reduce yourself to a poisoned mess It's so amazing What passes for cool these days Another trend? Or just a wish So when did it come down to this Fashion victim Takes on a whole new meaning "It's just for fun..." Hey, I'm sure it is So tell me is that fun Convulsing on the door Open your eyes You're walking the path to your self destruction The higher you fly, the further you fall Harmless? Don't make me laugh I wish I had the strength To tear your eyelids off You fool You fucking fall It's hard to fly, with wings of stone So hard to fly, with wings of stone
In a world of devoid of emancipation Like leaves too many question marks On my conscience, why? Why look up The ground is so much more pleasing And it's where these eyes belong I renounce, I renounce myself What I have become is not What I wish to be Break my neck I've become too accustomed to hopes Hope's cruel grasp Progression or regression It all ends the same In a world devoid Emotionless In a life such as this Only death is certain So why wait Break my heart Cut my throat When everything has ended What have we accomplished Slaves by design Break my neck
The warmth of your embrace Has lifted me from the ground The strength you've given me I can never truly thank you Through the darkness I found you by my side And I'll make this promise to you I will never let you down This is for every hour This is for every second This is for every moment That we have shared together Sky blue days burn through I refuse to let our flame fade Every scar burning bright tonight I'd give my heart for you I'd give my strength for you I'd give my everything I'd give my life for you Tonight will stand as a testament to hope Every scar, burning bright I will stay by your side Don't close your eyes Tonight we burn together My true friends, you mean the world to me Your friendship means everything Tonight will stand as a testament to hope Forever beating on
In an instant this world's hate engulfed all tenfold Hate I watched the birth of tomorrow's catchphrase Terror As the sky came crashing down True terror now assumes a human form Suspicious minds and pointing fingers still ignore Suspicious minds tear at innocence I watched the sky burn As the ashes fell Time stood still
I'd give the world for you to look my way I'd give it all. Just to feel your love Cast aside Separate. Destroyed Sweet laughter bleeds by ears Your eyes tear at my throat trying to steal my tongue Gaze of an angel melting my skin A face so cold Twice as enchanting I'm swallowing razorblades again Your eyes have torn my throat Trying to steal my tongue Gaze of a demon has burned through My skin Porcelain fingers take the hope from my heart Splinters of love A years goodbye's bleed red Roses of black all my night The stars have fallen Take the hope from my life With all my love. This is my last My last heartfelt Fuck you This is my last fuck you Fuck you
Gazing upon your face Your love has released my heart To drown To sleep forever In your sweet embrace If i could reach the stars I'd place them in your eyes Just to remind me of such a timeless beauty Of you Lost myself to you I could not fall again Held here by your grace I'm bound forever by this Infatuation If i could If i could reach the stars I'd place them in your eyes Just to remind me of such a timeless beauty And when tomorrow tears you from my arms I'll pray for one last sunset for our love
Lie No more than shadows To be forgotten Fade away in time No more than shadow's their dreams will never come to pass Trapped by your web of ignorance Trapped by your web Your web of lies Too much pain Too much anguish already endured More fear than a person should feel in a single lifetime And they've come so far Given it all for this second chance One second chance at life Hollow man You've gone too far Secure in your safe little world You have no idea the amount of pain you cause Since when is a child a risk to your security? Your razor wire and red tape killed their dreams
Tell me, how does it feel To watch a child bleed to death From a weapon you designed? You've spilt their blood Is your pride really worth this? Such a mindless slaughter Bow down to your greed Bloodshed Your lies cut their throat Such beauty Such innocence Set to self destruct As you nail their coffin shut With your hammer of hate The flesh is torn, hate remains The Flesh Is Torn They bleed Bloodshed Broken by your hand Who will bleed for you now?
Tear my heart from my chest Still warm in my hands Feel the life drain away This distance is staggering Stealing the air from my lungs Choking me where i stand Hopeless, just one last kiss You sound so close I can almost feel your breath Too close to touch the fragment of my memory Tormenting me forever Haunting me forever Stretching towards forever Each second seems like a year And this eternity is tearing me apart, tearing me apart Hopeless Victim of my own human desire Love is a demon sent to destroy me I never knew distance could kill
You could never be my envy. You could never be my jealousy. You could never be my envy. You could never be my jealousy. A world without you is a world I could only wish for. A world without you is a world I'd fucking die for. You've taken everything... Poison and despise lay in rampant wake in the shadows you have created We've been left to drown in an endless tide of apathy You disgust me The guise of a true murderer Killing with a smile As your cyanide lips rip us apart Now there'll be no forgiveness 'cause this is.... this is the end' A world without you is a world I could only wish for, And a world without you is a world I'd fucking die for. So I'll hold that pretty face beneath the surface Until your lungs hold nothing but the affliction you've created This world is wasted on your life Through evils eyes I've seen your soul betrayed I'll watch you fucking drown So I'll hold your pretty face beneath the surface Until your lungs hold nothing There'll be no forgiveness, no forgiveness

Your warm embrace has been replaced by cold And those defiant eyes have fallen Broken by the Floor Another rain-streaked face Left alone to drown in malice And your bleeding heart can only heal so much We can't weather this storm of longing And water cannot cleanse the blood from our past Can you hear your crying wish? Because your prayers remain... answerless Your prayers remain In sweet decay Your prayers remain In this sweet decay Your Love failed me Broken hearts and shattered dreams could never carry your fractured world So just throw it all away Your love is lost on us Just throw is all away Your love is lost on us

The daylight's gone The empty streets echo our past and the days that once were so beautiful Before now Before us So save yourself 'Cause all dreams are gone And all hope has faded And as the sunlight fails I watch this world slip away And we smiled as we betrayed ourselves And a clear sky is only a distant memory Our worst intentions carried away on the evening breathe Everything we lived for draws our final thought around our necks Your faces lies still I can't see your breath and it's freezing my blood until the end One more time one more line What is this hell Reminisce to the beginning of everything But The irony alone would kill me Ten thousand hearts set to silence for the choice of one End it all with the touch of a switch and I can see our lives burn before my eyes 'Cause all dreams are gone And all hope has faded And as sunlight fails I watch this world slip away Your face lies still I can't see your breath and it's freezing my blood until the end Ten thousand hearts set to silence for the choice of one End it all with the touch of a switch and I can see our lives burn I can see our lives I can see our lives burn Your face lies still I can't see your breath and it's freezing my blood until the end As we just let it slip away

The incisions in your wrist were all for show. Just like you. The epitome of self indulgence. Another farce. A charade and another set of crocodile tears. So serenade her with your last pathetic suicide love song. "Broken hearts never mend". But fools never move on. And now she's gone because of you. And once again You're the epitome of pure self destruction. Cupid never found his mark. As we await the insertion of blades on flesh. You part the skin and tell of blades on blood. So part the fucking skin. To tell the blades on blood. She said "I Love You" She said. She said goodbye. So cry me a fucking river bitch. You wouldn't know love if it crushed your fucking chest. Let go. You wouldn't know love if it crushed your fucking chest. "Razors, roses and a black tomorrow" They never showed any affection to anything but your ego. A tragedy of errors at the best of times. You are everything that's wrong with me. You're everything that I despise. You are everything I dreamed would die. You are everything that fades away and slowly dies. Will you bleed for me when suicide seems so yesterday? Will you bleed for me? Will you fucking bleed for me when suicide... It's so yesterday. It's all so fucking yesterday

I saw the disappointment from across your face. A mark of solitude. So here's to giving in. Your eyes have betrayed you. And I'll wear this mask of disgust for every day I've met you. Disarm with a smile. Your eyes Betrayed me. String me another line as your knife severs my spine. The blackness of your heart has spread beneath your skin. And as your new face runs I count the seconds till you're gone. As your new face runs I count the seconds until you're fucking gone. Hold this allegiance with the hearts of apathy. We cannot breathe from your choking hands. Mark this hour of hopelessness with burning bodies. Returning for your heart. Returning for your fucking heart. Murder is on the air tonight.

Tragedy. Another day lies broken and lost. A shattered life cuts the pulse of acceptance. And all I want is to be something more than this. Another day lies broken and lost. A shattered life cuts the pulse of Acceptance. And all I want is to be anything but this. Sleepless nights spent screaming for answers. Cursing sweet venom at a wretched future. An open casket stained with hope. Laced with deceit and treachery. An existence I only wish to forget. Why do I always regret? Those words leave the taste of blood. Forget my face. Just bury everything. Why do I always let it go? 'cause I've let it slip away between my fingertips. I've tried so fucking hard and still I could never gain a true understanding. Chocking at our misery. Splinters of failure cut like glass. And I'm sick of just pouring myself out into careless hands. Choking on our misery. Splinters of failure cut like glass. But I'll put it to rest tonight in the hope that maybe I won't have to wake. I'll put it all to rest tonight. Forget my face.

If looks could kill. You'd be a fucking shotgun Against my head so fucking cold. Picture perfect and pathetic. I would so love to hang you. Cat got your tongue? Selling yourself short again? You're selling yourself short again. Bare your insecurities. I want to see you cry. I want to see your tears. Why did you throw your heart away? Why did you let yourself down? Why did you throw your heart away. Why did you let yourself down time and again. Why did you throw you heart away. So taste the skin and let your heartbeat slow. Feel you bleeding away. Lifeless. Why did you let yourself down. Why did you throw your heart away. That cheap fucking smile carries you to bed. And those lips are social suicide but I just want to see you dead. You're like a shotgun baby. Pointed at my head. And those lips are suicide but I just want to see you dead.

After everything you've done. After your second face failed. This time there's nothing left to save. And your words were broken. With the touch of vipers you set your words upon my back. Spitting daggers you can't kill those already dead. Buried beneath a pile of one liners and cheap attempts at honesty. Buried so fucking far from your worthless lies. And the fire. The fire to cleanse your mouth. You'll never awake from your hell and for a second you almost had me fooled. Keep walking. Keep breathing. Keep cursing our names. We're plotting your end by the dawn. We're apparitions that stalk your every turn. We're death incarnate to cleanse you from this world. Midnight. Until I see your face again. Until I end this loveless dance. Midnight. Until I see you fucking scream. And until I see the moonlight shine with your blood we'll dig your grave. We'll dig your fucking grave. Until I see your face again. Until I end this loveless dance. Midnight. Until I see you fucking scream. And until I see the moonlight shine with your blood. Midnight. Until I see your face again. Until I end this loveless dance. Midnight. Until I see you fucking scream. And until I see the moonlight shine red.

The deepest circle of Hell is reserved for betrayers and mutineers. Fuck the memories. We're dead at every turn. So spin your fucking shit and we'll die with every twist of tongue. Your hollow gaze has shifted past my eyes. Another dead face fades away. Now what's left to take? Another day I regret your memory. In my mind you will never be more than this. So what's left to fucking take? Now my trust is gone. As your world comes crashing down I'm going to watch it fucking burn. Everything we had lies in pieces. Everything we had fucking dies... tonight. Through those deceiving eyes I've seen the blackest heart. The blackest heart. Everything you love fucking dies tonight.

Die Thoughts replaced by a placid romance Without movement, I can't escape Die Searching through the static Twisted and torn inside out Such blinding visions of destruction So I have to question Was this in the master plan? 'Cause now a broken future's all that we hold Broken Our broken future's all that we hold Our day draws To it's close Dusk Washes away Integrity now bleeds away As tired hearts are left to drain Do you see their faces when you fall asleep at night? Now they're nothing more than blood stained memories Memories Blood stained memories

Sever. And step forward. I will separate myself from you. I will walk this line unassisted and undeterred. Sever. Sever the strings. I'll cast aside your uniform. Your focus shifted too much for me to not question. Your sincerity. To manufacture misery. Everything you ever wanted. Everything you ever knew. Everything you ever lust for will be taken from you. Your reflection. Ghost of a beauty queen. Plagued with fashion. And stain our mouths with worthless deception. You're a plastic perfection. We'll burn you to the ground. Everything you ever wanted. Everything you ever knew. Everything you ever lust for will be taken from you. Everything you ever wanted. Everything you ever knew. Everything you ever lust for will be taken from your heart. When did this all become so meaningless? As to your second skin. Now the wolves become nothing more than sheep. We set flame these apathetic trends. Set flame the paths that have led us astray for too long. Set flame the paths that have led us astray for the last time. Burn. All bets are off. I'll watch the heartless burn. Tomorrow's dawn will be alight with our burning bridges. All bets are off. I'll watch the heartless burn. Tomorrow dawn will be alight through seasons change I've watched you waste away. Shed your skin and become. Reach inside your chest and remove what's left of your blackened heart. Through the seasons change I've watched you waste away. And become one with the damned. You lust for. Reach inside your chest and remove what's left of your blackened heart with distain.

Virtue is lost Beyond this sleek veneer Beneath the neon existence Her face is grey And everything she longs for turns to black The chemicals bring little vindication And white lines lace every vein Does she realise what she's become? But she's not waking And She's still failing But she's not waking She's still failing Follow the siren's song, To face this empty cycle. Searching the darkest nights Searching the silence And does it make you sick? "Can you hear me, Is She Conscious?" Does it make you feel beautiful? Bloodshed under the streetlight. And does it make you sick? "Oh God! We've got a bleeder here." Does it make you beautiful? Heartbreak under the streetlight. She's lost again. Adrenalin Strains Corrupted Arteries Virtue is lost Beyond this sleek veneer Beneath the neon existence Her face is grey And everything she longs for is pulling away Follow the siren's song To face this empty cycle. Searching the darkest night Searching the silence. Follow the siren's song, To face this empty cycle. Searching the darkest night, Searching the silence. Dead by first light, They can't wipe the blood from her eyes. Dead by first light, They can't wipe the blood from her eyes. Dead by, Dead by first light. Dead by, Dead by first light.

This is life, This is worthless, Is There consequence. This apathy is murderous. Hope is dead, Buried by regret, Alive for nothing, And dying for even less. Is This the path we've chosen, Our mind and our future left to rot. These lives are worth nothing, Our lives worth nothing, Fuck. As we watch our dreams turn into dust, Into dust. On these cold sheets, Beneath this hollow corpse of a life. Their world casts shadows, And it's eating us alive. We are the working dead, Haunted by the ghosts of unanswered dreams We are the flesh and the blood of a lost generation. The deceased and forgotten, The voiceless and consumed. We're buried and broken, And we're rising against you. So this is life, And are we so worthless? We've clawed our way back, They can't destroy this, 'cause we've got nothing left to lose. These hate fuelled hearts keep burning, We push against the grain, And we won't turn back. Armed to the teeth, Born from the shadows, Burning for revenge. Revenge. We're burning for revenge

Carrion In a moment I'm lost Dying from the inside Her eyes take me away Tear me apart from the inside out Dead eyes speak in volumes? But our lips refuse to move Could this ever be the last time? The final time that we see this through? Give me the strength to return Return the breath you've stolen Give me the means to reset Her heart I've broken again Reflection built upon sorrow We're walking the darkest roads Within chests carved with regret In a moment I've lost Dying from the inside Her eyes take me away Tear me apart from the inside out From the inside out The inside out We've been running blind Now we're falling through the cracks We're left running We are running blind Now we're falling Falling through the cracks Back to the world of the dead Her shining eyes mark our return back To the world of the dead In a moment I've lost Drowning from the inside Her eyes take me away Tear me apart From the inside out My love I left My heart I left With my promise to return A promise to return

The night creeps through my bones with a winter's chill, sending shivers down my spine Like cold hands across my skin Five months have passed and taken with them every sense of warmth Until my blood ran cold and life stood still And still I hold my breath, counting the nights I've stood with my heart in hand And still I hold my breath, counting the nights. Waiting for silence to break me down again If only you could see See it in my eyes how much it means Your touch, Your smile To a heart that's beat has long since given out and given in The night opens wide, swallowing every sense Embracing me with emptiness The hours have become irritations, and I find myself reduced to life's imitation How can we truly say that we are alive When everything I see in me is screaming How can we truly say that we are alive When everything I see in me is screaming otherwise? It's screaming otherwise Cause five months have passed and taken with them every sense of warmth Until my blood ran cold and life stood still The hours have become irritations, and I find myself reduced to life's imitation

These are the sentiments Of a cold blooded cynic So believe me when I say, I would love nothing more. Than for everything, To end unpleasantly. Concrete shoes, rising tide, Grey skies let none survive, Go. Don't say I didn't warn you. [x2] I would rather see your face in Hell Than speak another word Of this perfect world. Of this perfect world. Oh, to be buried beneath the waves, A sailors grave is all I crave. Bury me (bury me), 5000 fathoms deep, And leave my bones, For the depths. The sharpest teeth await our skin. The sharpest teeth await... Bloodlust swarms, Upon our worthless existence. The Devil's teeth (the Devil's teeth), The Devil's teeth, Beneath our skin. Whispering of silent vengeance. Blood debts remain unpaid. Now every breath of life Has been betrayed. Every ideal has rusted through. Nothing we hold brings solace, Feed us to the sharks. So let nothing remain, Feed us to the sea. To be buried, Beneath the waves. A sailors grave it's all I crave. Bury me (bury me), 5000 fathoms deep. And leave my bones, For the depths. There's blood in the water, (sinking, always, sinking). There's blood in the water, (sinking, always, sinking). There's blood, In the water. I would rather see your face in Hell Than speak another word Of this perfect fucking world.

Now, Your heroes have fallen. Championless, The seas are rising. So torch every banner, Every hope of surviving. This storm is breaking. Security has left you, Treading water. Now taste the fear. Taste the uncertainty. What will you do? When there's nothing left for you to cling to. What will you do? With your one last breathe. Thrive in your emptiness. Burn all you love. There's no hope for the weak. Our heroes have died. No heart... No Hope. Face to face, With the Abyss (with the Abyss), One by one they fall away And won't be missed Can you hear it? Can you hear the sound? As our broken Idols, Come crashing down. Now taste the fear. Now, taste, the, fear. Burn all you love. There's no hope for the weak. Our Heroes have died. Burn all you love. There's no hope for the weak. Burn all you love

Black plagues, line a fading sky. A dying world stripped to the bone, Intoxicated by the madness. Blood weeps from open wounds. And still the fires rage, Consumed, now chaos reigns. Our pride dissolved, The rise and fall, The breaking point, Burned and crossed. Lost, Now immune to all the carnage, We turn upon ourselves. Within these times of desperation, We are the virus that has infected, To its last. Nothing is sacred, Nothing shall be saved, No one shall be spared the horror, That has yet to come. Destroy and discard, This is all that we know. Blackened flesh, blistered, Hangs from skeletal frames Stalking this arid wasteland, Our minds immune to change. The shreds of morality, Fall by the wayside, As we are left to ponder, These black box revelations. In these days to come, In this, Our final hour, We will witness the true depths to which, Humanity can sink. Humanity can sink. We will learn, To suffer. We will learn, To fail. And before long, We will beg for the end. And still the fires rage, Consumed, now chaos reigns. Our pride dissolved, The rise and fall. The breaking point, Burned and crossed.

When your lungs collapse, When your last breath fails. When my reflection, As faded as a sentiment. Convulsions constrict your flesh, Into a portrait of agony. Crushed, Into a portrait of agony. Of agony. This, this is cataclysmic failure, As you're looking, Refuse to prevail. This is, this is pointless suffering. How does it feel to know You brought this shit On yourself? The timing of consequence, Your actions have their price. Oh you'll pay for your mistakes. As pity grips your nerves, You'll get what you deserve. Now brace yourself, As all hell breaks. All hell breaks loose. All hell breaks loose. Yeah. Fucked up this system, Shut it down. Drowned In Disease. Stop, cut all based upon, We know all from our lamenting. Suffocation of a race, The persistent beings, Of life.

Vanishing points and midnight horizons, Herald another night. Without you by my side. Bring me the light, Bring me the dawn, Bring me another day. But further, from your arms. And this world is frozen, And my limbs so numb. Feel the Frostbite. Exceed all hope of coming back alive. And these roads we've chosen, Leave our hearts so numb. As another day, Sets in teeth, Ready to strike. But there will be no dawn, At these hours. I find my mind, Turns itself in circles, Reigniting the worst of fears, And leaving others to the cold. Powerless. I'm afraid to lose, These thoughts of you. Please leave me the scars, Just leave me the scars. Wake (Wake), These are the hours left to ghosts. These are the times, reason fails to reach These are the places, For which echoes fail to return. And Solitude runs hand in hand with, Disaster. And this world is frozen, And my limbs so numb. Feel the Frostbite. Exceed all hope of coming back alive. And these roads we've chosen, Leave our hearts so numb. So I'll salvage what little hope I can, From the sun. Still I'm choking on the words, I should've said, 1,000 times. And I'm cursing every memory, And I'm holding on until, There's nothing left to save. Every scar, Let Every scar still bare your name. Every scar still bares an angel's face. An angel's face. And still I chase, I chase the sun. And still I chase, I chase the sun

So it begins Our eyes drawn open, Free from the thought of doubt, Free from the selfish conflict. Now blind, listless, ceaseless. With open arms we stand, Before the dawn. The sun seems to have been rising, Ever since I can recall, Branding a sense of permanence, To this lying world. Your words like icy air, Your lies like merciless, burning flesh. To hope for something more, To dream of substance. Like a million before us, Waiting to die. Like a billion before us, Waiting to die. Masochistic to think, This would be remembered (would be remembered). Sadistic, perpetuation Of stagnation. There is nothing as empty, As waiting to die. We've spent our lives, Wasting, as time eats us alive. There is nothing as empty, As waiting to die. We've spent our lives, Wasting, as time eats us alive. Your sunsets go on be-falling, Ever since I can recall. The only sense, Of permanence, In this dying world. Sit back and watch, As time eats us alive. Everyone who knew me, Knew me. Destined to die, Die. The marks I left upon this world, Will wash away, in time. In time, And so it ends. In time, It all finds an end. In time, And so it ends. In time, We all find an end. With broken arms, And hollow eyes, I'll wait to return to oblivion. Embrace our last, Empty horizon. Embrace our last, Empty, Horizons. Horizons. Horizons. Horizons.
So it begins Our eyes drawn open, Free from the thoughts of doubt, Free from our selfish confines. Our blood, restless, ceaseless. With open arms we stand Before the dawn.

To hope for something more, To dream of substance. Like a million before us Waiting to die. Like a billion before us Waiting to die. Masochistic to think, This would be remembered (would be remembered). Sadistic, perpetuation Of stagnation. [2x] There is nothing as empty As waiting to die.

I've walked these streets a thousand times, still this world never seemed colder. Compromised a thousand times to the will of malicious minds. Reality never hit so fucking hard. Crushed by endless desperation, endless surrender. Retrace the steps, retrace the steps. Is this what I have become? Retrace the steps, retrace the steps. What the fuck have I become? Security, illusion for the weak. Refuge, sought in routine. Another gear in their fucking machine. See, you can win the rat race but you're still nothing but a fucking rat. So seek that crown, because in this kingdom of fools true ignorance reigns supreme. I see this city for what it is. Retrace the steps, retrace the steps. A monument to the depths of human misery. Retrace the steps [6x] What have we become?

Consumed, I feel the rage growing inside me, A fear I cannot contain, At war with an enemy that does not rest who will never relent. This city, these lifeless catacombs, our tombs they have become. Buried alive at birth never to return. Chained the masses, trapped and trained by vicious minds, I let them tear away everything inside, Strip away my humanity, Fracture my identity, Sacrifice my integrity, Just bodies through the teeth of the combine, Just bodies through the teeth of the combine, At war with an enemy that does not rest who will never relent, At war with an enemy that does not rest who will never relent, Sleepwalk our lives away, In search for shallow graves, Sleepwalk our lives away. Lost souls, lost. Just bodies through the teeth of the combine. [x3] Just bodies through the teeth. Consumed, do I feel the rage, growing inside me. I will not contain. I have come to question every truth I know. Not one more step in the name of progress, In the name of blind ambition. Not one more step in the name of progress, In the name of blind ambition, How the fuck am I supposed to feel when everything I know lies broken at my feet?

I am the blackest soul. The child of a loveless world. The wreckage left in the wake of time. I am the consequence of complete collapse. I am the horror you created. The mind fuck you instigated. I am the seed of self-destruction, the bitter taste of life's regret. Flood my lungs. Pull my teeth. Cross my eyes until there's nothing left. There's nothing left. Casualties to the snares of modern life. Anchored by avarice, there is no further left to sink. I reside in my mind's eye, yet see no truth in a world of lies. I reside in my mind's eye. We are adrift in a world of lies. Flood my lungs. Pull my teeth. Cross my eyes until there's nothing left. I am the blackest soul. The child of a loveless world. I am the consequence of complete collapse. I am the blackest soul.

This is survival. This is my exile. I find no solace. I find no solace beneath a Godless sky. Will I find shelter in the places the Sun could never find? Now behold the consequence, the aftermath of ignorance, shackled to my worthless neck. Give me one reason to resist. So I slip below. I can't resist the undertow. I find no solace beneath a Godless sky. Will I find shelter in the places the Sun could never find? Because everything's turning black and I see no hope of turning back. Cold terror grips my lungs, to let it in would be to accept defeat. But what's left to fight for? When I look inside, nothingness confronts me. Vexed by the hands of time. This is survival. I against I. What's left inside? So I slip below. I can't resist the undertow. I can't resist. No, I can feel the deadweight. I can feel the deadweight of my soul dragging me from this world.

Shifting light outlines my battered form. Stranger to the world, alone in my abandonment. A gaining army of white horses, stark warning before the icy front. The deceiving calm betrays all signs of impeding change. Evening tide what do you hide, damnation or salvation? As my skin breaks the blackened surface, the cold is rising, yer all embracing. Darkness, erase this lonesome place from my every existence. An angry sky bares the signs, a distant violence yet to break. The ocean's travellers cry forth across the waves. Lightning cracks across a vast horizon, reaching out its hands towards an unsuspecting shore. No light to guide. No ties, no ties to bind. Evening Tide what do you hide? To the years spent waiting on the winds of change, this is penance paid. This is my penance paid, to the morning Sun, whose warmth never found this young man's face. Shifting light outlines my battered form. Stranger to the world. Alone. Evening tide, what do you hide? Lightning cracks across a vast horizon, reaching out its hand towards an unsuspecting shore. With a final effort I strike out across the swells, seeking only the answers, maybe horizons hold.

Their voices search for me through the darkness, yet I feel desire's cold grip upon my heart no more. My solitude. My shield. My armour. Tested with full force. I have seen the face of death and I choose not to accept its form. I have seen the face of death. An army of demons summoned forth, upon this endless night they swam. The fire in their eyes, like new Suns shire through the abyss. I taste the fear. I see the weakness in their eyes. They cannot hide as I devour all. As the mountains crack and the oceans boil, a fury-tempered heart is forged. Within the flames, this current of corruption will cease. I taste the fear. I see the weakness in their eyes.

Deliver me. From the darkest abyss, from the depths of eternal rest. Grasping at the threads of sanity, only to watch them slip through my hands. I see the light. I see the end. I see a frail hope, crushed by the weight of the world. My will is broken. Sinking, always sinking. The sands of time forever slipping. Clawing at the emptiness, but a ghost I reach towards the end. Lost in darkness. Lost in time. Losing a grip on my fucking mind. Ignorance is an easy friend but in the end it takes everything. Fear, it finds me and it binds me. Illuminate the planes of consciousness. Fear, it finds me and it binds me. But I'm lost. Guilt draws me down like a stone. it chokes my throat, and gnaws my bones. Regret breeds a heavy heart. Reality, torn in two. Canonised, a life that fades before my eyes. Ever faithful friend, sorrow, sets its teeth. Eaten alive. But I will survive. I survive. Fury, deliver me. How can you defeat what you can't kill? Deliver me. I see the fear that twists inside. Deliver me. I watch the shadows fill with doubt. Deliver me. Fury deliver me.

Crashing to the surface. My convictions lay bare before the tempest. As chaos explodes around me, I find myself in the jaws of destruction. Tested, by the force of the tempest. Pushed, to the point of no return. Losing ground. Let the steel of my resolve be not bested by the sum of my fears. Clarity unfolds, a moments calm in the eye of the storm. Relentless, I surge onward. Surfacing. No regrets. No second chance. Nothing will hold me back. Shipwrecked bones carry my seasick heart home. Carry me home. Tension clings to me. Resistance coils inside. Forcing me down, I fear nothing, into Poseidon's arms. Forcing me down, I fear nothing, I must hold on. This is a strength born in misery. A focus cut of this insanity. I fight my way from the gates of hell. I hold on. A body, locked in the vice grip of conflict. A mind, sharpened on the shards of disappointment. And from the depths of Hell I rise. From gilded cage, my spirit flies. Memories of another life call me home. Surfacing. Shipwrecked bones carry my seasick heart home.

If home is where the heart is, why do I feel so fucking heartless? The crumbling skyline cuts a vicious horizon, sinking its teeth into the cold September sky. Decaying towers of steel reach with crooked spires for the heavens, like bones of the hollow chest of this town, torn wide for the scavengers. Mother mercy, take my hand. Follow me through this forsaken land. Father time, return what's mine. The innocence you stole from these eyes. Because I feel numb. For the vision burning before me is one of former glory. An icon cast in the light of freer times, now writhes in a bed of lies. Hope doesn't live here. Love doesn't live here anymore. Mother mercy, take my hand. Follow me through this forsaken land. Father time, return what's mine. The innocence you stole from these eyes. Because I just feel numb.
If home is where the heart is, why do I feel so fucking heartless? The crumbling skyline cuts a vicious horizon, sinking its teeth into the cold September sky. Decaying towers of steel reach with crooked spires for the heavens, like bones of the hollow chest of this town, torn wide for the scavengers. Mother mercy, take my hand. Follow me through this forsaken land. Father time, return what's mine. The innocence you stole from these eyes. Because I feel numb. For the vision burning before me is one of former glory. An icon cast in the light of freer times, now writhes in a bed of lies. Hope doesn't live here. Love doesn't live here anymore. Mother mercy, take my hand. Follow me through this forsaken land.

Lies. My truth has been revealed, at the cost of everything I knew. My last safe-haven falls behind me, with the self that once consumed. Into the void. I'm pursuing only answers. I'm shedding skins and faces, past loves and bitter hatreds. And it has come to pass, a path set in stone now breaks like glass. The failings of yesterday become the catalyst to seek my change. And it has come to pass, a path set in stone now breaks like glass. The failings of yesterday become my catalyst. So here I stand, a stranger to my newfound freedom. I am a vessel. I am a vessel without destination, devoid of direction. No roles define m, yet conflict embraces me. At the mercy if lucidity, I am adrift in a world all to real. A hollow man. Into the arms of eternal struggle, I must condemn my restless mind. And it has come to pass, a path set in stone now breaks like glass. The failings of yesterday become the catalyst to seek my change. And it has come to pass, a path set in stone now breaks like glass. The failings of yesterday become my catalyst I seek the guidance gained from silence. Illumination from within the darkness. My council kept with the emptiness, in the heart of the unknown.

But there is no silence. My thoughts drowned out. Screeching and grinding resonates through a hollow shell. There is no great wisdom. There are no answers. I close my eyes, but all I see is red. I bite my tongue, but all I taste is blood. Once again they set their traps, set their hooks, deep in my head. Too naive to think these forked tongues would themselves devour. Show me war. Show me pestilence. Show me the blood red hands of retribution. And the abyss stares back. Leviathan I. To break their hold, strip the flesh straight from their bones. Cast their limbs into the gears of the beast. Bring this monstrosity to its fucking knees. Eye for an eye. I'll send this world blind. Show me war. Show me pestilence. Show me the blood red hands of retribution. And the abyss stares back. Leviathan I. Under a blackened Sun. Beneath a hunter's moon. Seething. Dogs of war, they call for blood but it will not be mine.

Brothers of abandonment, sisters of despair. Orphans to the watching ones above. Too far removed, too far to care. We are the unwanted. We are the one true threat. We raise our hands to this World's throat choke away its dying breath. This is the end of days, this is the end of days, this is the end of days. Set to destroy. Fathers to our faithless days, mothers to our twisted ways. Bow your heads. Fold your hands and pray. Your time has come. This is the end of days, this is the end of days, this is the end of days. Set to destroy. Your flame is faded, so sink below. Rest now your heavy head upon your bed of bones. Too far removed. Too far to care. Set to destroy.

Do you remember all those nights That we stood side by side And we said we'll save the goodbyes The night is young. Well I never, never, never wanna press rewind Every mistake that lead us here I wouldn't change for anything I wouldn't change for anything. Stand up There is a wall that stands between us and them?

We built our dreams from the ashes of your nightmares Carried our fathers sins, from the cradle to our grave We paved our paths through the darkness that you left us in And now we writhe in the belly of the beast We are the diamonds that used to be coal A generation born to witness the end of the world Against the grain Against the odds Against the world Forever the underdogs We are the bastard sons.

Follow your heart to the water Fill your pockets with stone Throw your arms around me Never let me go You were the first, you wouldn't be the last What the river took, we could never replace And as the pain set in so did the realisation You were never coming home For nights we lay awake Wishing for answers, hoping against all hope And if love could change the course of fate These nights, we move mountains But as the news filtered down the line, the impact shook us Shook us to the core Loss struck like a dagger in our aching hearts Follow your heart to the water Fill your pockets with stone Throw your arms around me Never let me go It's not the years in your life, it's the life in your years Old soul, so it's said The day we lost is the day I found regret Now in the waters that embraced you But in the wake your absence left Sink into me Hold out your hands, sink into me Hold out your hands, I'll take you away Hold out your hands, surrender the weight of this world Follow your heart to the water Fill your pockets with stone Throw your arms around me Never let me go Never let me go

My life is a weathered down shipwreck Splitting at the seams, held together by memories and dreams Every face I have seen, a stitch on my mind On a shadow of a dream And my heart is its cargo, a worn out old thing Been dragged around this rock more times than you'd believe To the east I call home But the west, she is calling From the north, to the south Forever I'm drifting away With more hope than fear Put your head to my chest and you will hear The sound of it beating Is the sound of love leaving The sound of it beating Is the sound of the emptiness flooding in Flooding in It's the sound of the emptiness flooding in And my life, it aches And my heart, it breaks And I just can't shake the feeling all I am is sinking While one thousand eyes stare back at me But the ones that I'd die for are the ones I can't see Flooding in It's the sound of the emptiness

Brothers, my brothers Is this all that we are? Sisters, my sisters We've been crushed by the fist of God Welcome to the free world Where nothing's as it seems Tell me, can you find a cure? When you can't see, you can't feel the disease Can you seek a higher truth, When you're living on your knees, Where freedom grows from blood-soaked soil In the land of hypocrisy? 'Cause if you can't see the chains, tell me what use is the key It's cash, blood and oil in the age of the refugee They try to buy our minds, we ain't selling Bang, bang, bang, another nail in our coffins Cut the strings 'til your heart stops Cut the cord Crack this code of silence, all our lives in the hands of tyrants Crushed by the fist of God (crushed) [2x] We've been crushed by the fist of God [2x] To the left I see the rats and to the right I see the snakes In my ear they're whispering sweet sermons of cruel hate So, do you buy the fear or do you buy the lies? Tell me what will set us free? Do we kneel before the crooked few Or do we bite the fucking hand that feeds? When death casts no shadow and hope carries no weight Rise into the light and feel the shackles fade away They fear what we know, we know how they break Bang, bang, bang, drop the hammer of conscience Cut the strings 'til your heart stops Cut the cord Crack this code of silence, all our lives Crushed by the fist of God (crushed) [2x] We've been crushed by the fist of God [2x] We're just waiting for the sky to fall Yeah I'm just waiting Feels like all our lives We've been waiting for the sky to fall Feels like all this time We've been Brothers, my brothers Is this all that we are? Sisters, my sisters We've been crushed by the fist of God Crushed by the fist of God (crushed) [2x]
The devil’s at our door The Bloodwoods shiver in the glare of summers haze Dust of ancient lands breathes beneath our feet Since the dawn of time, giver of life divine Shadowed by dark ruination, looming down the line The poisoned lies of narrow minds Now spread into the soul of life Bitter blight fractures life This call for change won’t be too late The devil’s at our door Selling fool’s gold and a miracle cure Hearts of fire unite and man their barricades Truth is overwhelming and yet Hollow men still talk in vain Sowing sickness, shifting focus away Setting in stone a future we cannot sustain We can’t quench our thirst on profits gained And we can’t turn back once it begins Bitter blight fractures life This call for change won’t be too late They poison the well and expect us to drink When the river runs dry only then Then will they see You can line your pockets, but you can’t buy back your soul These gates are locked, this future is not yours to own Bitter blight fractures life This call for change won’t be too late
When you’re born in the dirt the only way to grow is up So we reach for the sun but it seems Every rung that you climb is another crooked line That you cross off the tally of your dreams Don’t step out of line kid, you learn it pretty fast Every face has its place in the crowd They’ll give you all the answers, so you don’t ask any questions Then they’ll march you with a smile into the ground And we all go to heaven in a little row boat So put your hands up, put your hands up If crawling for the scraps won’t ever be enough Put your hands up, put your hands up The writing’s on the wall, this ain’t ever gonna stop Put your hands up, put your hands up If crawling for the scraps won’t ever be enough Put your hands up, put your hands up We’ll fight until we die, this ain’t ever gonna stop This stray dog world, this sick sad place Got a belly full of maggots and disease Every apple here is rotten, every blessing is a curse Every word is a lie you best believe We take one step forward, then two steps back In a race to the bottom of the barrel They teach us how to fear They teach us how to hate Then they arm us and they march us off to hell And its left, left, left right left So put your hands up, put your hands up If crawling for the scraps won’t ever be enough Put your hands up, put your hands up The writing’s on the wall, this ain’t ever gonna stop Put your hands up, put your hands up If crawling for the scraps won’t ever be enough Put your hands up, put your hands up We’ll fight until we die, this ain’t ever gonna stop Because they came for our minds We said nothing They came for our hopes We said nothing They came for our souls And still we said nothing Now they’re coming for our lives So what’s it gonna take What’s it gonna take See how they run, see how they run So put your hands up, put your hands up If clawing for the scraps won’t ever be enough Put your hands up, put your hands up The writing’s on the wall, this ain’t ever gonna stop Put your hands up, put your hands up If clawing for the scraps won’t ever be enough Put your hands up, put your hands up

We cut our teeth on sadness We hunt our sorrows down We fought the nights so sleepless We made our beds on the cold hard ground Seasons come and go, traditions rise and fall We watch with hunter’s eyes We found the place to call our own What we have, we hunt. What we kill, we keep Shadows never die, darkness never breaks You built your bastions of ivory and pride We see your gates, but do not knock We stay out in the wild What we have, we hunt. What we kill, we keep Shadows never die, darkness never breaks This is the sound of violence These are the songs of war We are everything you fear And we’re clawing at the walls This is the sound of violence These are the songs of war We are everything you fear And we’re clawing at the walls We’re clawing at the walls I see a kingdom of closed minds and shallow hearts So tell me this, would you fall in line Or rip it all apart What we have, we hunt What we kill, we keep Shadows never die Darkness never breaks This is the sound of violence These are the songs of war We are everything you fear And we’re clawing at the walls This is the sound of violence These are the songs of war We are everything you fear And we’re clawing at the walls This is the hour of the wolf We’re clawing at the walls This is the hour of the wolf This is the sound of violence These are the songs of war We are everything you fear And we’re clawing at the walls This is the sound of violence These are the songs of war We are everything you fear
Live, with your back to the wall The bigger they come, the harder they fall Live, with a heart made of stone Slings and arrows and broken bones One by one by one by one Kings rise and fall One by one by one by one Heavy lies this crown of bones Darkness behold This hell we call home Live, with the eyes of the beast Never the prey, the weak or the sheep Live, with the strength to believe Dead to the world, but we’ll haunt their dreams One by one by one by one Kings rise and fall One by one by one by one Heavy lies this crown of bones Darkness behold This hell we call home Burn it, burn it all Burn it all to ash Burn it all to ashes Darkness behold This hell we call home
Twelve years I’ve fought for this Twelve years, my heart still beats For the ones who’ve stood beside me Still strong You can’t break me Twelve years I’ve fought for this Twelve years, my heart still beats For the ones who’ve stood beside me Through the values that define me No compromise, no surrender These beliefs, they make me whole Never the breaker, promise keeper Remains the ethic instilled in me Never one to bite my tongue Never turn, never run I’ve seen with my own eyes The price of life and the cost of lies You can’t shut this down I still spit fire This truth rings loud You better listen up You Can’t You can’t break me Twelve years I’ve fought for this Twelve years, blood sweat and tears For my family here beside me True to the ethos held inside me Life pushes hard, you push back Time makes its mark, you gotta stand the test Every dog has its day We make it count We find our own way You can’t shut this down I still spit fire This truth rings loud You better listen up You Can’t You can’t break me Twelve years I’ve fought for this Twelve years, my heart still beats For the ones who’ve stood beside me Still strong motherfucker so step back Through blood, sweat, tears We’re still here Unbreakable
Let me beat in your heart Be your drum of war and love Let me hide in your arms Be my cage, my key, my lock Let our bones collide Until the light falls like anvils from our eyes When our dreams ignite Disappear in their fire Be my deathless song Fill my aching lungs Breathe your life into me Because I drown in your shadow Like salt in the rain If my fear is tomorrow Your memory’s the fight in my veins Let me beat in your heart Be your drum of war and love Let me hide in your arms Be my cage, my key, my lock Let our bones collide Until the light falls like anvils from our eyes When our dreams ignite Disappear in their fire Be my open sky Fill these wild eyes Breathe your life into me Because I drown in your shadow Like salt in the rain If my fear is tomorrow Then your memory’s the fight in my veins
There was a time I felt invincible In the cradle of youth I felt I owned the world Until I held so tight I felt it slipping away Into the dark I strayed Into the dark, I stayed I chose a broken road until life had left my soul Into the dark I strayed Into the dark, I stayed Until you gave my life meaning [Chorus:] You are the blood in my heart You give me something to fight for You are the wind in my lungs You are the blood in my heart You give me something to fight for You are the wind in my lungs So I'll fight for this There was a time I felt untouchable But in shadow of pride is where the danger dwells I flew so high my wings burned away Into the dark I strayed Into the dark, I stayed I chose a broken road until the life had left my soul Into the dark I strayed Into the dark, I stayed You gave me hope through your faith in me [Chorus:] You are the blood in my heart You give me something to fight for You are the wind in my lungs You are the blood in my heart You give me something to fight for You are the wind in my lungs So I'll fight for this [Jeff Ling Solo] [Chorus:] You are the blood in my heart You give me something to fight for You are the wind in my lungs You are the blood in my heart You give me something to fight for You are the wind in my lungs You give me something to fight for
Midnight approaches Are you awake?
