The Absence - From Your Grave lyrics



Tracks



01. Intro

[Instrumental]

02. A Breath Beneath

I fell so low on the long way home
Sinking ever steadily
Waiting for this heart to stop in between
Where we die far from this long goodbye

Emptiness
Where we fall drifting apart
Facing the end with regret
I cannot

Emptiness
Where we fall drifting apart
Facing the end with regret
I cannot

Shadows weaken starting to stir
A motion in deception begins to blur
I'm focusing on things I can't end
Broken ties and wounds that won't mend

To the city of ghostly statues
And a broad feeling of clamor
I'll step to the edge and push ten long
Until the words hit just like a hammer

Emptiness
Where we fall drifting apart
Facing the end with regret
I cannot

Emptiness
Where we fall drifting apart
Facing the end with regret
I cannot

[Solo]

And all that I have ever loved
Has now turned empty
And all that I have ever kept
Is in this long goodbye

[Solo]

When you fall
I will fall
With Heaven in between
This breath beneath

When you fall
I will fall
With Heaven in between
This breath beneath

I bid farewell
To this year long
Wrapped in wings

To the shameless
To the faceless
You will forever remain... nameless

03. Necropolis

To ashes, we fall
Paralyzed and demoralized
From unhallowed voices upon the wind
Breathing in, our damnation

Unleashing the hordes to immolate
And the darkened angels to decimate
The burning within our chests
All our futures laid to rest

Necropolis
These hearts of decay
A crown, buried on the heads of the damning
Necropolis
These hearts of decay
A crown, buried on the heads of the damning

The shadows frenzy around the weak
A light from the blur is dimming bleak
Where we face our battles won
Wings to ride in the blistered sun

Where the voices are drowning
Into a sea of despair
Until they rise above
With bloodied fists in the air

Necropolis
These hearts of decay
A crown, buried on the heads of the damning
Necropolis
These hearts of decay
A crown, buried on the heads of the damning

[Solo]

A march upon perdition
While we storm the gates
From hell to heaven
This march upon perdition
While we storm the gates
From hell to heaven

[Solo]

Necropolis
These hearts of decay
A crown, buried on the heads of the damning
Necropolis
These hearts of decay
A crown, buried on the heads of the damning

04. From Your Grave

The bitter wind drifts
Through the apparition
A sleep that heavies the neck
Through the noose

A stretch of song and
Deep in this shallow grave
Burning bitter and bleak
From this whimpered taste

Of your weakness fallen so low
Sunken deep and black
From this broken vow
Of your weakness fallen so low
Sunken deep and black
From this broken vow

Arise
From your grave
Arise

Where the black rains are falling upon
The everlasting to all of our losses
Calling from the dead of night
Hollow from the breath of my prayers now lost

Burning fevers
In the shadows and in the embrace
Where they stagger, where they fall, and where they lay
Where the rains, won't wash away

Because as I burn what I feel
As I sink into the killing fields
The prevail is running you out of time
While you wither
While death walks beside

Arise
From your grave
Arise

Where the black rains are falling upon
The everlasting to all of our losses
Calling from the dead of night
Hollow from the breath of my prayers now lost

The sweetness holding the salt
To the serpents tongue, seconds before the fall
Keeping heads above the frey
And keeping hell one heart beat away

Arise
From your grave
Arise
Arise

Arise
From your grave
Arise
Arise
From your grave

05. Heaven Ablaze

The strength of sadness lifts our necks
From a thin warm line
Sinking dead within the night
Where the eucharist will fall in disharmony
Over and over again
When the darkness creeps
Its way back into my mind

Never forgotten
Never forgiven

To the heavens set ablaze
I will call aloud
And to the heavens set ablaze
You will hear me now
You will hear me now

A glance from in between these ghostly mirrors
Fragments to betray this true believer
It held High this suffering
The darkest day of mine
Held ears fixate on the dimming voice, in the wind

Never forgotten
Never forgiven

To the heavens set ablaze
I will call aloud
And to the heavens set ablaze
You will hear me now
You will hear me now

[Solo]

Never forgotten
Never forgiven

To the heavens set ablaze
I will call aloud
And to the heavens set ablaze
You will hear me now

To the heavens set ablaze
I will call aloud
And to the heavens set ablaze

You will
Hear me
You will
Hear me now

06. Summoning The Darkness

It's such a loneliness
Stalking here all along
Burning all of our bridges
Distant from the dimming sun

Slow in the shadows
The demons have crept
And this is where the dark thirst
Has slept

The reddest of blood
Bled into the
Deepest of grays
Riding upon the restlessness of this soul betrayed

The reddest of blood
Bled into the deepest of grays
Riding upon the restlessness of this soul betrayed

Searing into oblivion
We are standing tall
Reaching past the end
Mere seconds before the fall

Unhallowed scars, far beyond
Curve through the stagnant winds
While the black moon light
Burns through this grin

All of these angels
Ever ending up dead
While the darkness crows
Flying over head

The brief moment
Cuts through the regret
Ending sleepless in this moonlit cold sweat

Who will you die for tonight?
Who will you search for at first light?

[Solo]

It's such a loneliness
Stalking here all along
Burning all of our bridges
Distant from the dimming sun

Slow in the shadows
The demons have crept
Close upon where our thirst has slept

Who will you die for tonight?
Who will you search for at first light?

Unleash hell
Unleash hell
Unleash hell... Go!

07. Shattered

[Instrumental]

08. I, Deceiver

Where seduction sleeps
To the smell of your lifelessness
Wrapped in plastic, your fiction
Bitter sweet, loss of sleep

Where this day comes, reckoning
Unforgiving
Where these two now go missing
And throw me to greatness

Ghost signals and the taste of the ice
That froze all of their hearts
With the sadness and betrayal
Where these mourning end as empty handed as I

Its only sinking deeper
The shame now, no healing
Its only sinking deeper
This hollow feeling

So fear
I swear that I will walk on water
If you will forgive me
This one last time

So fear
I swear that I will walk on water
If you will just forgive me

Bitter sweet, loss of sleep
Where this day comes reckoning
Unforgiving the departure
Watching your blessing to accept
While I'm watching you sink below

To the flutter of this lonesome angel
Suspended in the silhouette
This faith, my slowest fever
And this hope my great deceiver

[Solo]

It's only sinking deeper

So fear
I swear that I will walk on water
If you will forgive me
This one last time

So fear
I swear that I will walk on water
If you will forgive me
This one last time

[Solo]

I will lay here
In your devastation
For just one more night

You led us on
You killed your own

[Solo]

Where seduction sleeps
To the smell of your lifelessness
To wrap in plastic, your fiction
Bitter sweet, loss of sleep

Where this day comes, reckoning
Unforgiving
I will lay in your devastation
For just one more night

09. My Ruin

Their flies
Circle halos over this emptiness
Where the breathing gets older
And my lips grow colder

When these rains get thinner through the burden
And this buried dream
We must reap what these eyes now see
This is where my heart now dissipates
You disintegrate

[Solo]

I will fill the heavens no more
With this never ending wake
While I promise death
To a bled hearts beating
Open arm seething

This monument to the dimming heights
Where the tears and blood are always awry
And for the millions of staggering swine
Who teeter aimless to the open sky

Trudging slowly
Over the dead
Where the days now end
Silent and gray
In a grave to lay
Crumbling hope
And my end of days

Far too tired to burn this bright
When mountains will topple and send your fears alight
The wonder in this stay
And hells price to pay

My ruin this infatuation
In the endless, I'm so far away
My ruin this infatuation
In the endless, I'm so far away

[Solo]

My ruin this infatuation
In the endless, I'm so far away
My ruin this infatuation
In the endless, I'm so far away

My ruin this infatuation
In the endless, I'm so far...
I'm so far away

[Solo]

Their flies
Circle halos over this emptiness
Where the breathing gets older
And my lips grow colder
When these rains get thinner through the burden

10. Seven Demons

The wreckage to plagues we sing of
On the breath of harmony
Submersed, forgotten, and singing in suffering
While I stand behind these shimmering tired eyes
Watching your faithless stride
Deep into hell

Taste... Taste the blood of the angels heart
We have only just begun to fall
In the end when we fall
Consumed by all that we deny

They have gone to the razors thrusting up
And thinking of this failure alight
Stillborn, slit in this nevermore
The flight deeper on this pale horse

They bury their hearts in the opens of remission
While I bury my heart deep in this morning star

Taste... Taste the blood of the angels heart
We have only just begun to fall
In the end when we fall
Consumed by all that we deny

Wading in sin
Corrupted by poisoned minds
And all that you trust would kill in a beat of heart
Don't morn for the child he's destined to wield decay
Salvation is lost when all your dreams fade away

Wading in sin and your poisoned minds
The future set free
While I bleed your blood

[Solo]

Taste... Taste the blood of the angels heart
We have only just begun to fall
In the end when we fall
Consumed by all that we deny

Taste... Taste the blood of the angels heart
We have only just begun to fall
In the end when we fall
Consumed by all that we deny
