02. And We Have Killed Him

Outside your state of mind
Rivalry is born from society's womb
Inside the only way to know that it's time for change is running far from
That's just saying so much more
Running far from society's womb to leave a space for change

You're a loaded gun
The battle has just begun
And this time I thought to dream of your eyes shut

The only one I see is you
There is no way to see this through
Outside open
I have controlled my hate for the sound of you

You're a loaded gun
The battle has just begun
This time I thought to dream of your eyes shut

Enlighten my eyes
Ignite the flame

03. Leaving Nothing But The Absence of Everything

In my head I'm dreaming of
A different land that would fit you
More than the one we roam
This goddamn town where the shadows are demons
More than the life we know
Dead end town just picking up pieces

The one that fits the hole
Has thicker skin and a heart of coal
A different life in the place we know
It takes a man that has swallowed his soul

To give up your own soul
Is to give your own
To give up on your society
Take the life from your dream

"Running forward"
Screaming words through me
Running for hope
Singing words into ears

Bury the lies that saved thee
Bury the lies they feed me
I'll bury the lies
Running far to share the word
Scream these words through me

04. If Only That So Many Dead Lie Round

Why spend all my fucking life
Locked to the things that won't show me no time
She spends her days throwing rocks to pass the day to me
These awful things
The devil's deeds
You can try the foolish ways of crawling on your knees
But today won't sleep not for the weak

"I can't"
This brings no hope to the ones that don't give a shit who
"I can't"
And see through they do

05. Death Is Eager To Hold You

On your death bed forever turning
How long can we stay here
On your last leg we watch you suffer
This false hope could tear a heart out

A wife
A life
That's better a lost one
Give your life dive into the grave

On your deathbed injecting poison
How long can we stay here
On your last leg bent over backwards
While the world moves on and steals your life

Let them die and be free
Send their souls to the empty ones

06. They Should Greet Me With Howls Of Execration

Lay on your back
Take a breath
Rest your eyes

Tomorrow's the day
To lose the mask
And reveal the lies
This long black dream

Into the black a lovely death
And no one cries
A life that lacked one to bliss to simplify all humankind

Digging trenches
Your life spent in the dark
And moved on to building bridges
Only to leap from the top and drop

08. I Am Not What I Am

I am alone for once dusk to dawn
Finally I'm free
I am alone by choice
I am alone not nailed to a cross

'Cause when the day breaks they care not what knife is stained
And it rained

I am alone for once dusk to dawn
Finally I'm free
I am alone by choice
I am alone not nailed to a cross

As for home I've found me a new one over this ditch you claim
And to roam in my snow-mapped tracks is to find the beauty
your life lacks

They have your blood
Christ-filled pigs
Obey their throne
You'll have no shelter

09. Love And Terror Laid The Stone

Tears still rain nails scratch the rocks
I'm falling
Constant winds freeze my limbs
All is cold no one to hold
But the ground
Eyes still froze
Can't control myself
My heart still beats
There's no words left
I'm headed straight for the ground

What makes you feel more alive than falling from heights
That could kill before you hit the stone
More alive than fulfilling your dreams
Fill the earth with your bones on your own

10. The Chaotic And Bloody World Around Us

Waiting for my eyes to bleed
From seeing everyone sick
Waiting for my skin to recede
It only takes one click

Nightly I lay my head on my pillow in thought
Daily I spin my neck it's got me in knots

They can see it all
And they're so sick and twisted
They can make a call
And have you killed for living

They've been thinking of a bad plan
To get things done on their own

They've got a foot for your door
A wrapped fist for your window
There's no safety
They've got a cell for your son
And a grave next to your kin

Can you see
There's nowhere to run
No place to hide

They've been thinking of a bad plan
To get things done on their own
They've been thinking of a bad plan
To get things done

11. Ascending The White Mountain

The sound of drums and rising horns pressed on our backs
We've moved through sand against a wind that carries nothing
My words must be meaningless against your breath
Show me your celestial face and let me judge thee

You are what's wrong with us
You are the blight
You are the ruin in all of us
You are the stealer of hearts

Gaping breaths
And tear-soaked smiles
You are the ruin in all of us
My words must be meaningless against her breath
If I could I'd gladly stray from my path of oblivion

The brimstone
The fiery lake
The pit of sin
The brimstone
The fiery lake
That hails within

I would climb up
From the abyss
To stare back into her eyes
And scream

Farewell sweet wounded night
Let the fog surround thee
