Becoming one with madness, a chaos to embrace
Struggling for my sanity, clear skies turning gray My demons stand before me, and taunt my every thought The only way to cleanse my soul, is drown my dirt with rain Water now engulfs me, it burns my sins away Enemy preys upon my flesh as darkness burns the sky Surface drifting further, taken from my sight The only way to cleanse my soul, is drown my dirt with rain No one to save me, a promise to be made For heartsick memories, below the murky wake In shallow water, I will drown unfeigned My death knell rings below the flood To wash away my sins of yesterday And give me the chance to murder your name again Becoming one with madness, a chaos to embrace Struggling for my sanity, clear skies turning gray My demons stand before me, and taunt my every thought The only way to cleanse my soul, is drown my dirt with rain In shallow water, I will drown unfeigned My death knell rings below the flood To wash away my sins of yesterday And give me the chance to murder your name again 02. The Novella Reservoir
Hurtful summoning of Gods left behind
And with great cause you'll suffer in pain Your words fall upon deaf ears Never again to swallow the lies You're not the savior of this world, a simple life has come to pass You're not the answer to my faith, I'll never give you what you need I am the darkness in your dreams Your vile heart keeps me alive After all the pain that you've been through Do you believe that he'll be there for you? You're not the savior of this world, a simple life has come to pass You're not the answer to my faith, I'll never give you what you need Novella reservoir tortures me, only the broken remain Final days arrive and the curtain drops The only face you'll see is that of shame Where do you think he gets his strength? Drawn from the mindless and empty as them You're not the savior of this world, a simple life has come to pass You're not the answer to my faith, I'll never give you what you need 03. Drown The Inland Mere
A gray line divides where the shadows blur
There is nothing left within your empty smile Nothing will change, the tide will still rise Hold me under water Drown the inland mere Into this darkness I forever hold my loss Only a moments time to scream my name A shell of what I was, I'll never let you go After all you said in vein, a weaker soul am I This is my final struggle, this is my dying day Hold me under water Drown the inland mere Into this darkness I forever hold my loss Only a moments time to scream my name No brother to man who rapes his own A cell to rot the fabric of flesh Why are you still smiling? It's pity I feel for the life that's yours The haunting voice of liberated souls The death knell proudly chimes Nothing but slaves in the unwilling fall Hold me under water Drown the inland mere Into this darkness I forever hold my loss Only a moments time to scream my name 04. Twilight Innocence
I wonder what she dreams about?
Perhaps my arms that hold her tight? Or the love that warms her heart? Peaceful sleep till dawns new day I will always keep watch over you To keep you safe when you are scared Before her sleep, she lies awake With wonder and angelic thought So much to learn in one lifetime Hand in hand we'll walk for hours When the water becomes to deep I'll be the one who pulls you free Your dreams Inspire me to be the best man I can be To never let you down and make you proud of me Someday you'll be on your own Memories will make you smile Think back to those dreams to remember me I wonder what she dreams about? Perhaps my arms that hold her tight? Or the love that warms her heart? Peaceful sleep till dawns new day I will always keep watch over you To keep you safe when you are scared 05. The Voice Of Failure
I struggle to reach above the fault, In the same moment of collapse
Born to suffer by the fate of this world, come with me now, and bleed Visions of the promised land, I close my eyes and angels die No man alive can stop the bleed, and now I hear the voice of failure A deeper hunger I have for fear, we're bound to the eyes of his plea Fingers running across my scars, the beauty of my lonely heart Visions of the promised land, I close my eyes and angels die No man alive can stop the bleed, and now I hear the voice of failure The tempted drag me down where weakness feigned I harvest the only face I can and swim through the mire Time heals the wounds of sorrow, the undertow of deaths becoming I've been searching for battles won, dusk is falling, sunlight drowns Visions of the promised land, I close my eyes and angels die No man alive can stop the bleed, and now I hear the voice of failure 06. They Were Left To Die
Drawn upon insight to purify
Voices call to a sinners world One by one, gagged and bound Hollow eyes, they were left to die Right from wrong, lines divide Black and White, obey his word Follow the path those blindly walk Life of fear for the dying weak One by one, gagged and bound Hollow eyes, they were left to die No remorse for tales told Cities burned in perfect wrath Cleansing life for eternal bliss Paradise for those who fall One by one, gagged and bound Hollow eyes, they were left to die Drawn upon insight to purify Voices call to a sinners world Glimmer of white to pierce the throat Crestfallen, you're the only one Bathe in moonlight against his law The cold grip of lust is powerless Will you repent and follow his lead Before time steals the only life you have Beaten and torn, displayed for spite The strong are nailed and cast aside One by one, gagged and bound Hollow eyes, they were left to die 07. Dominate The Human Strain
Where has your savior gone to, for now he's left you here alone
The aftermath of natures hand, striking down the weak and frail Dominate the human strain A judgement day has come upon us, to separate the right and wrong The fear of God in your solitude, creates this hell born faceless mask Bathe in the blood of his name, the elders crutch will crucify Dominate the human strain, carry on this reckless farce There is no turning back now, the flood will carry in the filth Eyes will close to hide the truth, jagged words deform this hope Bathe in the blood of his name, the elders crutch will crucify Dominate the human strain, carry on this reckless farce I have remained faithful to the cause, Save me, Save me! Where has your savior gone to, for now he's left you here alone The aftermath of natures hand, striking down the weak and frail Bathe in the blood of his name, the elders crutch will crucify Dominate the human strain, carry on this reckless farce 08. Leaving This
For many years you've been my life, I've been thankful for our time
From rainy days to snow filled nights, you've always been there for me And nows the time I say farewell, for I'm leaving this all behind me To walk away with tears and pride, mourn not the loss, honor the memory For lives I've touched, and those returned, this was only a moment in time I need you to know before I'm gone, It's always been for you And nows the time I say farewell, for I'm leaving this all behind me To walk away with tears and pride, mourn not the loss, honor the memory I will miss our days of glory, along with the hardship and loss It's all been a friend to me, in the end, this reflection I'll embrace And nows the time I say farewell, for I'm leaving this all behind me To walk away with tears and pride, mourn not the loss, honor the memory |
