Hatebreed - Satisfaction Is The Death Of Desire lyrics



Tracks



01. Empty Promises

You came to me with salvation,
Saying I must repent
You offer up your redemption,
A guarantee for a better life in your safe world

Your illusions are comfort for your conscience
My sacrifices will be made in honor of what is truly sacred

How can you save me,
When you can't save yourself?

You can't save yourself
You can't save yourself

02. Burn The Lies

They're so persuasive, with their fucking lies
Not an ounce of respect
They'll do anything to sell deception
Burn the lies

Their words of ignorance
Shove them back
Back down their throats
All that I have for you is hate

They will quickly abandon,
what little morals they have

Tell you that you are worth nothing,
with no regard for anyone

03. Before Dishonor

You see it's not the blood you spill that gets you what you want.
It's the blood you share, your family, your friendships, your community.
These are the most valuable things a man could have

What makes you think everything is this world
That you have can be taken away?
In a world this day, it's kill or be killed
I live each day like it might be my last

In this lifetime few things
Are worth fighting for
My Blood. Your Honor
Everyone has a destiny

I'll choose my own
I will not be a victim
I'll choose my own
My cries won't go unheard

I'll choose my own
I got to fight for myself
I'll choose my own
And what I hold so true
Destiny

I'll choose my own destiny
And I'll never let anyone
Take away
What I hold so true

I won't live in denial.
And I won't turn the other cheek
I must remain convicted
And never accept this suffering

I've learned from my mistakes
And I've made a promise to myself
I won't live in the past
I won't live in the past

I've been affected by your lies
And I've let them hold me back
I wasn't thinking for myself
I wasn't living for myself

I will not be a victim
I'll choose my own
My cries won't go unheard
I'll choose my own

I got to fight for myself
I'll choose my own
And what I hold so true
Destiny

What I have in my heart
What I have in my heart
I'll take to my grave
I'll take to my grave

04. Puritain

Bastard cries,
Feed the fire.
The burning desire
to rob human life.

In this world full of fear of the unknown.
Twisting the perception of the weak.
Lying to progress.
Only achieving greed.

Seated behind the sun.
Myths bleed into one.
Searching for a saviour to lead us
Through this life. Where our sanity is undone.

Killing against our will.
Killing for the bastard maker.
The fairy tale.
The non existent creator.

Salvation so bittersweet
The taste brought fear to our tongues
Preying on the weak.
Fatherless creation

Encased in the depths
Of humanity.
They continue to rape
And call it purity.

I will not bow down
Because of our past.

I see now mankind
Was not meant to last.

Killing against our will
Killing for the bastard maker
The fairy tale
The non existent creator

Salvation so bittersweet
The taste brought fear to our tongues
Preying on the weak
Fatherless creation

Encased in the depths
Of humanity
They continue to rape
And call it purity

I see now mankind
Was not meant to last

05. Concieved Throught An Act Of Violence

Thrown, I was thrown
Thrown into this living hell

I am the hatred taken from another's life
Born unwanted, extracted of all that is humane
No one can relate to my abandonment
I walk this earth alone in search of salvation

Forever, Forever, Forever, Alone
A tormented seed given a chance to grow
The end result of moral choice
Only to live a tortured life as the product of rape
Under a mother's face of innocence
And a father with eyes of a demon

Conceived through an act of violence
Conceived through an act of violence
Conceived through an act of violence
Conceived through an act of violence

No, I was thrown into this living hell
I didn't ask to be this way
I was thrown into this living hell

Thrown into this living hell
Thrown into this living hell

06. Afflicted Past

Hatred evokes the memories
That make your blood run cold
Fear and sorrow
Push you away from yourself

How can you face the world?
When you can't face the mirror
How can you leave your past?
With blood on your hands?
Can you run away all your life?
Can you escape your punishment?

How many times
Can you start it all again?
How many lies
Will it take to cover your tracks?

How can you face the world?
When you can't face the mirror
How can you leave your past?
With blood on your hands?
Can you run away all your life?
Can you escape your punishment?

No matter how far you go
Those days are right behind
The facade of your perfect life
Cannot hide your perfect past

There is no escape
No escape
No escape
No escape
No escape

07. Prepare For War

Drifting by the heavens unscarred
Yet unhealed before a bleeding cross
Thrown into the ash
Crumbling the furnance, ressurection

I've been crossed like the lies on a clocks face
I've been fed lies I can't comprehend
I've become but a mere seed again
And I'll prophesize the end

Now., I have yet begun to fight
There is no fear in my heart
No cause worthy of my respect
In the end I'll rot

I won't fall prey to deception
Deception is the means by which they profit

Deceit is in their hearts
Evil within their souls
The cruelty by which they exploit
Will never be part of my life

I've been crossed like the lies on a clocks face
I've been fed lies I can't comprehend
I've become but a mere seed again
And I'll prophesize the end

08. Not One Truth

Living as we rot,
Showered with shadows
Of dreams devoured
Our souls descend
Into endless seas of sin

There's no turning back
No repenting, no remorse
Hate stricken creation
I realize in this world

There is not one truth cast into stone
Only lies cast into flames
There is not one truth cast into stone
Only lies cast into flames

It's time to burn
Burn alive
It's time to burn
Burn at the stake

Our eyes crystal clear
Our bodies frozen with fear
And there's nothing to save us now
From endless suffering and solitude

We've lost the chance
To save this dying world
So we pay the price
of which no one can afford

There is not one truth cast into stone
Only lies cast into flames

It's time to burn
Burn alive
It's time to burn
Burn at the stake

09. Betrayed By Life

In a cold unforgiving world
alone with fear and weakness
oppressed and dying slowly
Countless people have been betrayed by life

No one is exempt
No one is safe

So many lives will be taken
So many lives been ruined
So many lives hang is balance
So many lives have been lost

Betrayed by life
Betrayed by life

As survivors we are left to try their tears
We are left to mend their wounds
We are left to pick up the pieces
Of those who have been betrayed by life

10. Mark My Words

I was so blind
I couldn't see the truth
I was unable to see
How my life was being used

To be something so minuscule
Everything I thought was so definite
I thought was so real was thrown away
And will be remembered among un-paralleling hatred

Consider my suffering
Through all your pain
Remember my face
I'm digging your grave

Since when was so sacred
turning into something so wrong
Something so important to me
Cheapened and exploited

I won't be that way
I can't, I can't be that way again
I can't, I won't, I will never let it

Consider my suffering
Through all your pain
Remember my face
I'm digging your grave

For the rest of your fucking life
You will mark my words

11. Last Breath

All the prayers in the world cant bring you back
Its your last breath, this is our last breath

Taken from this earth without warning
Victim of the ultimate injustice
Nothing will ever make sense of this
Nothing could have prepared me

All that is left are memories
And the pieces of a shattered existence
I wish i could bring you back
i felt your last breath

Its your last breath, this is our last breath
All the prayers in the world wont bring you back
Its your last breath, this is our last breath
Last breath

12. Burial For The Living

No on can redeem themselves
No one can be saved
In a dying world filled with enslavement
And endless apathy

A tortured past and not much future
A tattered earth remains
Destitute and alone in madness

Burial for the living
Our earth stripped of wealth
Burial of the living
Our bodies drained of life

In a world full of enemies
I'm an enemy of the world
There is only so long we have to live

Our dying days are spent waiting
For history to repeat itself

Burial for the living
Our earth stripped of wealth
Burial of the living
Our bodies drained of life

Our only hope is vengeance
Oh, vengeance, black

13. Worlds Apart

Conditioned to feel nothing
We turn our backs on all these crimes
Cries fall on deaf ears
And the killing continues

They say what we don't know
Wont ever hurt us
But nothing could be
Further from the truth

In your uncaring life
We are worlds apart
In this race doomed to fail
We are worlds apart

In this system you support
We are worlds apart
In my soul
We are worlds apart

Worlds apart
Worlds apart

14. Driven By Suffering

Every second breathes life into reason for dying
Our own ignorance will only stunt our final will to live
Bound and gagged, I feel forced back in a losing race
I've been stepped on and passed by
But I have enough hope to keep fighting

All of my life, All of my pain
Driven by suffering
All of my life, All of my pain
Driven by suffering

Every single choice I must make
Driven by suffering
Every single choice I must make
Driven by suffering

Suffering
