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
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
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 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

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 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
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.

Let go.
You wouldn't know love if it crushed your fucking chest.
"Razors, roses and a black tomorrow"

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.

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.
Tragedy.
Another day lies broken and lost.

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.
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.
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.

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.
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.

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
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.

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
This is life,

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

There is nothing

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,

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.
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.

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
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.

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.

The sun seems to have been rising
Ever since I can recall
Leaving a sense of permanence
To this lying world.

Your words not worth the air,
Your life not worth its weight in 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.

[2x]
There is nothing as empty
As waiting to die.
We've spent our lives
Wasting as time eats us alive.

The sun seems to have been falling

The only sense

Sit back and watch
As time eats us alive.

Everyone who knew me,

In time,
And so it ends.
In time
It all finds an end.

In time,

With broken arms

I'll wait to return to oblivion.

Embrace our last
Empty horizon.
Embrace our last
Empty
Horizons.

Horizons.

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]

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?
Consumed,

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.

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.

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.
Deliver me.
From the darkest abyss, from the depths of eternal rest.

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.

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.

Illumination from within the darkness.
My council kept with the emptiness, in the heart of the unknown.

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.

Born of dust and stone
Dead hearts, roaming a dying home
Life leaves us all, white bones
Upon the shores of time
We are but sparks in a darkened world
And yet some things were born to burn

The napalm in your eyes
Is all my cold heart needs
If you bring the matches
I'll bring the gasoline

I'm the same bad news as you
You're the same kind of fucked as me
I'm the same bad news as you
You're the same, you're the same as me
Born of dust and stone
Dead hearts, roaming a dying home
Life leaves us all, white bones
Upon the shores of time
We are but sparks in a darkened world
And yet some things were born to burn

The napalm in your eyes
Is all my cold heart needs
If you bring the matches
I'll bring the gasoline

I'm the same bad news as you
You're the same kind of fucked as me
I'm the same bad news as you
You're the same, you're the same as me
Forever fucked
We wage a war of suffering a deceit
100 thousand years of dreaming, drowned in a flood of fear and greed
Precious heritage laid waste before the chainsaws snarling teeth
Bleed the earth, bleed her 'til her heart no longer beats

And still we wonder why
As the ground beneath our feet turns to dust
The air we breathe, laced with poisons
A legacy of disgust
A legacy of sorrow
So we're born with nothing and we die alone

We're born with nothing
And we die alone
Regret is all we have
Death is all we know
[2x]

Forever fucked
Eradicate the truths of history
Train our eyes, train our minds so we no longer see the casualties
Countless cultures murdered, generations stolen and deceived
No guilt to bear
Born to consume, to breed, to deny all that makes us free

We're born with nothing and we die alone

We're born with nothing and we die alone
We're born with nothing
We die alone
[2x]

We die alone

Forever fucked
We're born with nothing and we die alone
We're born with nothing
We die alone

Do you remember all those nights
That we stood side by side
And we said we'll save the goodbyes
The night is young, we still have time
In my dreams I see it ending
I see, I see the sky descending
And I'll let the seconds
Rip in to my heart
Cause in my dreams i fear of falling
When I hear the darkness calling
Dont wake me up until the morning's night
Cause ive never felt more alive.
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?
See this was never about giving up, just giving in
Because you only live once
But you spend your whole life dying
So when it all comes crashing, know you're not alone
You only live once
But you spend your whole life dying
So when it all comes crashing, know you're not alone
Alone!
Alone!
Alone!
There is no death with all our sins
There is no fear when this life ends
There is no fear
Do you remember?
Do you remember?

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.
We are the ones that refuse to grow cold
We are the thorn in your side
We are the thieves in the night
And we are coming to take whats ours
No regrets
We inherit the sins of the fathers
Now reap the vengeance
No regrets
From the ashes of your nightmares
From the cradle to our grave
We blazed 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 choose to stay coal
A generation born to witness the end of the world
Born to witness the end of the world
Before the underdogs
We built our dreams from the ashes of your nightmares
Carried our fathers sins, from the cradle to our grave

What will you tell your children when they ask you "What went wrong?"?
How can you paint a picture of a paradise lost
To eyes that know only a wasteland?
How will you justify, justify, watching the world die?

The clock is ticking, can't you feel our days are numbered
Head first into disaster from which there will be no return
With narrow minds we decimate our one true home
Cast into oblivion, judgment is calling

(Hey, hey) Behold the pale horse
(Hey, hey) This is the funeral of the Earth
(Hey, hey) Behold the pale horse
(Hey, hey) This is the funeral

The blind eye can no longer be cast
The clock is ticking, there is no second chance

The blind eye can no longer be cast
There will be no future, if we can't learn from our mistakes
The clock is ticking, there is no second chance
There will be no future, if we can't learn

A forced extinction closes out the age of apathy
The final act, sacrifice the world's ecology
The death of beauty, the death of hope
Cast before the throne of avarice, judgment is calling

(Hey, hey) Behold the pale horse
(Hey, hey) This is the funeral of the Earth
(Hey, hey) Behold the pale horse
(Hey, hey) This is the funeral

The blind eye can no longer be cast
There will be no future, if we can't learn from our mistakes
The clock is ticking, there is no second chance
There will be no future, if we can't learn

I can't watch it burn
I can't watch it burn
I can't watch it burn
I can't watch it burn
I can't watch it burn
I can't watch it burn
I can't watch it burn

Behold the pale horse
What will you tell your children when they ask you "What went wrong?"?
How can you paint a picture of a paradise lost
To eyes that know only a wasteland?
How will you justify, justify, watching the world die?

The clock is ticking, can't you feel our days are numbered
Head first into disaster from which there will be no return
With narrow minds we decimate our one true home
Cast into oblivion, judgment is calling

(Hey, hey) Behold the pale horse
(Hey, hey) This is the funeral of the Earth
(Hey, hey) Behold the pale horse
(Hey, hey) This is the funeral

The blind eye can no longer be cast
The clock is ticking, there is no second chance

The blind eye can no longer be cast
There will be no future, if we can't learn from our mistakes
The clock is ticking, there is no second chance
There will be no future, if we can't learn

A forced extinction closes out the age of apathy
The final act, sacrifice the world's ecology
The death of beauty, the death of hope
Cast before the throne of avarice, judgment is calling

(Hey, hey) Behold the pale horse
(Hey, hey) This is the funeral of the Earth
(Hey, hey) Behold the pale horse
(Hey, hey) This is the funeral

The blind eye can no longer be cast
There will be no future, if we can't learn from our mistakes
The clock is ticking, there is no second chance
There will be no future, if we can't learn

[x7]
I can't watch it burn

Behold the pale horse
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
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
This soul was born for battle
My heart was built for war
These eyes see through the lies
Filled with disgust
Strip back the utopian rhetoric
And you'll find a sickness at the core
A septic carcass rotting out
Filled with disgust
We are the dead
Empty lives, empty heads
Guilty is as guilty fucking does
Filled with disgust
All we have to believe are the lies that they feed us
All we have to choose is the right to obey
Pray this time will be our mark on history
When the shadow games and agendas
Are wiped the fuck away
There is no such thing as different shades of truth
It'a black or white, do or die
Filled with disgust
You tie your noose with your lies but the world keeps turning
"Swing low" we cry but the world keeps turning
Turning without you
It keeps turning without you
'Cause all we have to believe
are the lies that they feed us
Born for battle
All we have to choose is the right to obey
Built for war
This was born for battle
My heart was built for war
Swing motherfuckers
End it
Built for war
Built for fucking war
This soul was born for battle
My heart was built for war
These eyes see through the lies
Filled with disgust
Strip back the utopian rhetoric
And you'll find a sickness at the core
A septic carcass rotting out
Filled with disgust
We are the dead
Empty lives, empty heads
Guilty is as guilty fucking does
Filled with disgust
All we have to believe are the lies that they feed us
All we have to choose is the right to obey
Pray this time will be our mark on history
When the shadow games and agendas
Are wiped the fuck away
There is no such thing as different shades of truth
It'a black or white, do or die
Filled with disgust
You tie your noose with your lies but the world keeps turning
"Swing low" we cry but the world keeps turning
Turning without you
It keeps turning without you
'Cause all we have to believe
are the lies that they feed us
Born for battle
All we have to choose is the right to obey
Built for war
This was born for battle
My heart was built for war
Swing motherfuckers
End it
Built for war
Built for fucking war
You've got to fight for your life
There is nothing to fear but fear itself
The Devil dances in idle minds
Fight for your life
I won't turn back now
This will be no slow surrender
I won't turn back now
Carpe Diem, straight for the throat
Conflict, the all-consuming pain
Time lost will never be regained
Don't waste your breath
You can't save your strength
The battle rages in the here and now
See every second that you waste
Is time you'll never live again
Fight for your life
Fight for your fucking life
There is a price to pay
Death is a heartbeat away
The Devil dances in idle minds
Fight for your life
I won't turn back now
This will be no slow surrender
I won't turn back now
Carpe Diem, I gotta go straight for the throat
The Devil dances in idle minds
You've got to fight for your life
There is nothing to fear but fear itself
The Devil dances in idle minds
Fight for your life
I won't turn back now
This will be no slow surrender
I won't turn back now
Carpe Diem, straight for the throat
Conflict, the all-consuming pain
Time lost will never be regained
Don't waste your breath
You can't save your strength
The battle rages in the here and now
See every second that you waste
Is time you'll never live again
Fight for your life
Fight for your fucking life
There is a price to pay
Death is a heartbeat away
The Devil dances in idle minds
Fight for your life
I won't turn back now
This will be no slow surrender
I won't turn back now
Carpe Diem, I gotta go straight for the throat
The Devil dances in idle minds
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
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
No comfort
Fear, in the face of the unknown
Born to die in a lonely world
Hostility, breeds within the void
Left by the loss of understanding
Hatred, the true face of ignorance
Force-fed to the masses with the promise of salvation
Knowledge controlled, power withheld
In the name of one, let all blood spill
There is no god, that could love this world
I find no comfort
In a life lived on my knees
No comfort
Devine judgement, I could never believe
No comfort
I could never believe
To live a life without regret
Is it not enough
To love, and to be loved
Nothing lasts forever
Nothing lasts
Superstition rules in the land of the weak
Fear, in the face of the unknown
Born to die in a lonely world
Hostility, breeds within the void
Left by the loss of understanding
Hatred, the true face of ignorance
Force-fed to the masses with the promise of salvation
Knowledge controlled, power withheld
In the name of one, let all blood spill
There is no god
That could love this world
I find no comfort
No comfort
Fear, in the face of the unknown
Born to die in a lonely world
Hostility, breeds within the void
Left by the loss of understanding

Knowledge controlled, power withheld
In the name of one, let all blood spill
There is no god
That could love this world
I find no comfort
You want a piece of my mind,
there is no peace to find
This is all of your doubt repaid in kind
I am alone in crowded rooms,
I am a ghost in forgotten tombs
Widow maker, you're no company to keep
'Cause you can fool some people, sometimes
But you can't fool the world for the rest of your life
You can fool some people, sometimes
But you can't fool the world
Nobody notices, nobody cares
The curtain falls to no one, no where
Nobody notices, nobody cares
As the curtain falls
Soulless, spineless
Cut from the beggar's cloth
You fill your skull with their shit 'til it runs from your mouth
Heartless, carcass
I've seen more life in dead men's eyes,
I've heard more truths alone with the night
And I'd rather believe in nothing than believe in a fucking lie
I'd sooner fail one thousand times than regret I've never tried
'Cause you can fool some people, sometimes
But you can't fool the world for the rest of your life
You can fool some people, sometimes
But you can't fool the world
You can't fool us all
You howl at the world, but speak a dead language
You're selling your soul, but no one is buying
You pray to your gods of fashion and industry
Heads in the clouds, but you live on your fucking knees
Nobody notices, nobody cares
The curtain falls to no one, no where
Nobody notices, nobody cares
As the curtain fucking falls
Soulless, spineless
Cut from the beggar's cloth
You fill your skull with their shit 'til it runs from your mouth
Heartless, carcass
I've seen more life in dead men's eyes,
I've heard more truths alone with the night
No peace to find
You want a piece of my mind,

Dear sky,
Dear sky don't cry for me,
(cry for me)
Be the hope I could never reach
Cold sea,
Please don't let me sink,
(don't let me sink)
Wrap your arms around me and carry me home

I stood at the shore and spoke to the ocean
I stood in the water and let my guts spill
I said "You and me, we're not so different,
I see my reflection in all that you do"

We both keep our secrets
We're both, oh so blue
My heart is full of darkness
I know that yours is too

I sat on the rooftop and screamed at the sky
I sat on the edge until I knew deep inside,
Like the sky, I will always be empty
The horizon, my love, forever just out of reach

We both keep our secrets
We're both, oh so blue
My heart is full of darkness
I know that yours is too

Distance was born when the sea and the sky grew apart
Loneliness was born the day I let you go

I let you go!

So now I stand at the shore and speak to the ocean
I stand in the water and let, let my guts spill
Let my guts spill

We both keep our secrets
We're both, oh so blue
My heart is full of darkness
I know, I know that yours is too

Dear sky,
Dear sky don't cry for me, be the hope I could never reach
Cold sea, please don't let me sink
Wrap your arms around me and carry me home

Dear Sky!
Dear sky,
Dear sky don't cry for me,
(cry for me)
Be the hope I could never reach
Cold sea,
Please don't let me sink,
(don't let me sink)
Wrap your arms around me and carry me home

I stood at the shore and spoke to the ocean
I stood in the water and let my guts spill
I said "You and me, we're not so different,
I see my reflection in all that you do"

We both keep our secrets
We're both, oh so blue
My heart is full of darkness
I know that yours is too

I sat on the rooftop and screamed at the sky
I sat on the edge until I knew deep inside,
Like the sky, I will always be empty
The horizon, my love, forever just out of reach

We both keep our secrets
We're both, oh so blue
My heart is full of darkness
I know that yours is too

Distance was born when the sea and the sky grew apart
Loneliness was born the day I let you go

I let you go!

So now I stand at the shore and speak to the ocean
I stand in the water and let, let my guts spill
Let my guts spill

We both keep our secrets
We're both, oh so blue
My heart is full of darkness
I know, I know that yours is too

Dear sky,
Dear sky don't cry for me, be the hope I could never reach
Cold sea, please don't let me sink
Wrap your arms around me and carry me home

Dear Sky!
Destroy, destroy, destroy, destroy. Destroyer

We speak in lies, we speak in tongues
We’ll see our damage done
We live in dreams, we rest in peace
Content to sleep in our chains
Seven trumpets sound their discourse, nine circles of our devise
Messages writ within our columns of fire
No life blooms from the ashes of ire

But our hearts beat faster, and our heads hang low
Still we kneel for the masters
Filthy pigs all in a row

Black the sun
Hide us from what we have become
Black the sun
Hide us from the monsters we’ve become

Destroy, destroy, destroy, destroy

We’re all addicts hooked into a toxic culture
Infinite growth in a finite world
Empires of gold return to sand
As silver tongues rust beneath the guilt of man

But our hearts beat weaker, and our heads now roll
Still we crawl for the masters
As we beg for the killing blow

Black the sun
Hide us from what we have become
Black the sun
Hide us from the monsters we’ve become

We scar the earth to spite the sky
Then burn the trees to feed our fires
We are the blind leading the damned
A wrecking ball
In the hands of a mad man

Destroy, destroy. Destroyer
Destroy, destroy. Destroyer

Black the sun
Hide us from what we have become
Black the sun
Hide us from the monsters we’ve become
Like dragging nails through my skin

Strip the scar, scratch the itch
Dig your nails deep, until the nerve is good and raw
Pulling teeth again, to pay for all your sins
The blue pill or the red, all you want are enemies

Feel the tension set to break
We’ve swallowed more than we can take
Like dragging nails through my skin

Die, die, dying to believe
This beast you resurrected won’t break its leash
We’re die, die, dying to believe
That the ghost of the ills of this world will
Find you where you sleep

We’ll find you where you sleep

God complex, let’s start a war
Whose prayers will you answer, whose will you ignore
Paint it black and torn apart
Baptized in hate to the beat of a hollow heart

Feel the tension set to break
We’ve swallowed more than we can take
Like dragging nails through my skin

Die, die, dying to believe
This beast you resurrected won’t break its leash
We’re die, die, dying to believe
That the ghost of the ills of this world will
Find you where you sleep

We’ll find you where you sleep

Because it’s a sick fucking world in a sick fucking time
Splitting at the seams as you desecrate the hive
The cancer’s in your heart
The poison’s in your mind
Forked tongue motherfucker tell me how the hell do you sleep at night

How do you sleep at night

Dying to believe

Die, die, dying to believe
This beast you resurrected won’t break its leash
We’re die, die, dying to believe
That the ghost of the ills of this world will
Find you where you sleep
A system of complete control. The pressure builds
It wraps its hands around your throat. A constant battle
A silent war of mind and soul

(Yeah, yeah, yeah!) Get up, get up
One life, one shot, give it all you got
(Yeah, yeah, yeah!) Get up, get up

Keep the flame alive

Hope for the hopeless, a light in the darkness
Hope for the hopeless, a light in, a light in the dark

(A light in the dark) 

The chains set to break your soul. Day by day
You know the choice you have to make
Freeze up and fade
Or be the flame that lights the way

(Yeah, yeah, yeah!) Get up, get up
One life, one shot, give it all you got
(Yeah, yeah, yeah!) Get up, get up

Keep the flame alive

Hope for the hopeless. A light in the darkness
Hope for the hopeless. You’ve got one life, one shot
Give it all you got

Ill’s got a vice grip, like ice running down your spine
This world, it’s got you in its sights

Rise, rise. Rise, rise. It’s all or nothing.
Rise, rise. Rise, rise. It’s do or die.
Rise. Rise. Rise.

(Yeah, yeah, yeah!) Get up, get up
One life, one shot, give it all you got
(Yeah, yeah, yeah!) Get up, get up

Keep the flame alive

Hope for the hopeless, a light in the darkness
Hope for the hopeless, a light in the dark
We stand for the faithless and the broken
Hope for the hopeless, a light in, a light in the dark
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
I’ve heard enough
No more, no more
You’ve had your time in the sun
Keep your head down kid, your fifteen seconds are done
I know it hurts, I wanted it this way
All these years, I’m still the voice you can’t destroy

I know how this one ends
Lying in the gutter spitting teeth at the sidewalk
I know how this one ends
So bite your tongue if you can’t tame it

Let’s get this straight, while you’re listening
In my world you count for nothing

Bow. You’ll be the one to
Drown, with the rats and the snakes
Bow. You’ll be the one to drown

Bottom feeder
Bottom feeder
Bottom feeder
Bottom feeder

I’ve heard enough
I’ve heard enough to know
Who talks the talk, who walks the walk
And who’s for fucking show
I know it hurts, I know it cuts
That I’m still standing
I’m everything you’re fucking not

I know how this one ends
Running from the world as your lies begin to cave
I know how this one ends
Your hollow words make shallow graves

Let’s get this straight, while you’re listening
In my world you count for nothing

Bow. You’ll be the one to
Drown, with the rats and the snakes
Bow. You’ll be the one to
Drown

Bottom feeder

Bow. You’ll be the one to
Drown, with the rats and the snakes
Bow. You’ll be the one to
Drown

Bottom feeder

See I feel no guilt, like I feel no pain
Like I feel the fire running through my veins
You can’t draw blood when my heart beats cold
And I’ll take your word like I take your name
An ego lost in the valley of self disdain
Pride cometh before the fall
And you’ll break as I watch it all collapse

No mercy, No peace. You can’t escape this beast
No mercy, No peace. You can’t escape this beast
No mercy, No peace. You can’t escape this beast
No mercy, No peace. You can’t escape now snap your neck to this

You snap your neck to this

No mercy, No peace. You fucking bottom feeder
No mercy, No peace. You fucking bottom feeder
Fuck!
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?
I heard the devil, he was calling your name
Your soul is empty
Your words are cheap
You're selling for war
While you're praying for peace

But I don't think you want it
I want you to see
The tide is turning while there's something to save
You can't see it
You keep talking
When you stand for nothing
You'll fall for anything

[Chorus:]
We're fighting fire with gasoline
We'll leave the bridges burning
For all to see
We're fighting fire with gasoline
We'll leave the bridges burning
This is a warning
The devil's calling

Midnight it finds you
Down on your knees
Pray forgiveness while
You're trading lives away
The truth was hijacked
Gone without a trace
When all is done
We won't forget your face

I can feel the fire
I can see the pain
We're tired of choking on your hypocrisy
You can't see it
It's not working
When you stand for nothing
You'll fall for anything

[Chorus:]
We're fighting fire with gasoline
We'll leave the bridges burning
For all to see
We're fighting fire with gasoline
We'll leave the bridges burning
This is a warning
The devil's calling

[Jeff Ling solo]

We're fighting fire with gasoline
We'll leave the bridges burning
This is a warning

[Chorus:]
We're fighting fire with gasoline
We'll leave the bridges burning
For all to see
We're fighting fire with gasoline
We'll leave the bridges burning
This is a warning
The devil's calling
