They can smell blood in the water
Circle ‘round waiting to strike They want your soul seduce you with their lies Selling death the end of the sublime Obfuscate the fog of deception Sowing hate to drag you to their end Drowning down into the darkness below A slave to the slaughter Sinking down into the blackout you go There's blood in the water Listen close the heart of deception Beating loud the rhythm expands They want your soul seduce you with their lies Selling death, the end of the sublime Obfuscate the fog of deception Sowing hate to bring you to their end Drowning down into the darkness below A slave to the slaughter Sinking down in to the blackout you go There's blood in the water They want your soul seduce you with their lies Selling death the end of the sublime Obfuscate the fog of deception Sowing hate to bring you to their end Drowning down into the darkness below A slave to the slaughter Sinking down in to the blackout you go There's blood in the water 02. Burn The Sky
The heat is rising fast and furious
The midnight air is warm and dry Take a few drags and drop the mortars It's OK if you want to die The insignificant blaze you've conquered Chest out, chin up, sixth marine So damn confident, so experienced I can't handle it, kill my fear But who are you to decide Who lives, who burns, and who dies You're not the one to be so bold Making decisions only God should hold Burn the sky, born to die You end a bloodline generations at a time Burn the sky, left to die A cloud of souls rises up to veil the moon And burn the sky Under cover on the horizon The blackened quilt of deep despair The path of a beast that's ever hungry The more it eats the bigger the better than Trained for the battle The warriors in gear The bravest of the brave Have given lives right here But who are you to decide Who lives, who burns, and who dies You're not the one to be so bold Making decisions only God should hold Burn the sky, born to die You end a bloodline generations at a time Burn the sky, left to die A cloud of souls rises up to veil the moon And burn the sky 03. Brace For Impact
You can see it coming right before your very eyes
Terror hits before the inclination to survive Can you react in time to save what will become Or will you be taken by surprise Grab a hold, take a seat Bow your head and tighten up and spread your feet Grab the rail, close your eyes Grit your teeth and hope it isn't time to die Bracing for the impact, bracing for the pain Bracing for the impact, driving me insane You can't get out of the way No matter how you try If you don't brace for impact There's a chance to die Grab a hold, take a seat Bow your head and tighten up and spread your feet Grab the rail, close your eyes Grit your teeth and hope it isn't time to die Bracing for the impact, bracing for the pain Bracing for the impact, driving me insane Some will only venture Where the railing keeps them in Some will trust a man but not his fate Following a path that others have chosen for you Safer and so more controlled Than blazing your way through Bracing for the impact, bracing for the pain Bracing for the impact, driving me insane Brace for Impact 04. A Place To Die
I can see the face of the ever clear
I see apparitions fly Shadows falling in my peripheral Turn to see them and they hide Double vision and out of focus Heat rising from deep within I am dying inside from the thirst Another drink to make things clear I just need a place where I can die A place where I can be who I see in my mind Searching for a place where I can live Live with my demons and the terror they can give I can feel the pounding of the spinning earth Voices whisper in my ear Feels like my head may come apart Blood is flowing from my ear Operate with one eye open Decisions not so clear I can hear the call of the captain Calming nerves and always there I just need a place where I can die A place where I can be who I see in my mind Searching for a place where I can live Live with my demons and the terror they can give One shot, two, three shots, more One more for the road Before I hit the door One to hide the shame One to heal the pain Numbing all the choices I have made I just need a place where I can die A place where I can be who I see in my mind Searching for a place where I can live (A place to live) Live with my demons and the terror they can give (Terror they can give) I just need a place where I can die (A place to die) A place where I can be who I see in my mind Searching for a place where I can live (Searching for a place) Live with my demons and the terror they can give 05. The Walls
When the sky is coming down
When you feel like you're going to drown When you know the end is all that you've been looking for When the pain is too much to bear When there's no one who will care And you've gone down every avenue and still can't catch a break I can feel emotions I have no time for This can't be all there is, there's something I'm here for I can see the walls are falling down on me I can see the walls are falling They crumble to the sea I can see my dreams are broken Laying on the ground I can see the walls are falling I can see the walls are falling down And it's such a permanent thing No prize and no brass ring And there are no more lives to find along the way Understand how you must feel It is the only thing that's really real And you can't go back You cannot change your mind I can feel emotions I have no time for This can't be all there is, there's something I'm here for I can see the walls are falling down on me I can see the walls are falling They crumble to the sea I can see my dreams are broken Laying on the ground I can see the walls are falling I can see the walls are falling down I can feel emotions I have no time for This can't be all there is, there's something I'm here for I can see the walls are falling down on me I can see the walls are falling They crumble to the sea I can see my dreams are broken Laying on the ground I can see the walls are falling I can see the walls are falling down (I can see the walls are falling, I can see the walls are falling) (I can see the walls are falling down) Falling down, are falling (I can see the walls are falling) Down (I can see the walls are falling) Falling down (I can see the walls are falling down) 06. Cry For The Dead
I'm in the middle of a catastrophe
I can't mourn for those behind me I stand staring at the stones upon the ground The tribute within the granite on the mound I can't live without the ones I love I am nothing without them now You can't imagine how it feels to me You know I won't survive this tragedy I stand counting all the stones upon the ground And read the names on the granite in the mound I can't live without the ones I love I am nothing without them now I can't live without the ones I need Don't know if I know how I am shadowed by the thoughts in my own head And I'm not ashamed that I cry for the dead We may never heal from our history We may never care or feel again I walk away from counting stones upon the ground It's so peaceful here, the dead don't make a sound I can't live without the ones I love I am nothing without them now I can't live without the ones I need Don't know if I know how I am shadowed by the thoughts in my own head And I'm not ashamed that I cry for the dead I can't live without the ones I love 07. The Wicked Hour
Cold and gray, I call my home
It's very dark and overgrown Life will hide just out of sight Into the shadows of the night The hair will raise upon your back In place of some unknown attack The freezing touch that bites the skin The terror ready to begin The cold wind blows through the deadest of the trees I have gotten dark in my alone There is nothing forcing stopping me I will take the weight of sitting throne The angels falling hard You can't begin to understand I can smell the scent of deviation in the air The wicked hour, close at hand I live under the mask of darkness A blackened veil of the unknown I need a sign to follow up into the light The wicked hour finds me alone Every turn, the same routine The smell of death and gasoline The mist and smoke are in your eye The feeling you're about to die The bumps that raise upon your skin Tell it's about to begin The unexplained is present here and now An icy chill to paralyze your spine I am in the darkness when alone No gun to my head as you can see Take on everything as if my own The angels playing cards And never giving up their hands I can see the signs of deviation in their eyes The wicked hour, close at hand I live under the mask of darkness A blackened veil of the unknown I need a sign to follow up into the light The wicked hour finds me alone Angels falling hard You can't begin to understand I can smell the scent of deviation in the air The wicked hour, close at hand I live under the mask of darkness (Mask of darkness) A blackened veil of the unknown (Of the unknown) I need a sign to follow up into the light The wicked hour finds me alone 08. Too Many Lives
Evil, was in the air back in the day
Inside your mind, your mind Over, now an over saturation keeps it live... alive Too many people, too many lives And most are evil, look in their eyes Horror, you see the numbers and the world Has reached it's end... the end Dying, as the people spread like locusts On the land... this land Too many people, too many lives And most are evil, look in their eyes Too many people, too many lives 151 thousand people die everyday 350k is born everyday, everyday We had enough to go around as of yesterday Tomorrow there will be no more for everyone I have the key, my trigger and me Pull out the weeds to save the flowers and the trees I have the key, my trigger and me Evil, you see the numbers and the world Has reached it's end... your mind Dying, now an over saturation Keeps it live... alive Too many people, too many lives And most are evil, look in their eyes Too many people, too many lives And most are evil, look in their eyes We had enough to go around as of yesterday Tomorrow there will be no more for everyone I have the key, my trigger and me Pull out the weeds to save the flowers and the trees I have the key, my trigger and me 09. Grey Dragon
Told about a metal creature flying through the air
Breathing fire and searching for a mark Read the map and heard the rumble, never realized Something so destructive could be right before my eyes Stricken by its beauty, I was simply mesmerized Couldn't think to move or run, my mind was paralyzed Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh Oh-oh, ooh Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh Oh-oh, ooh Death from the skies (Now I know that it's for real) And I can feel the fire Death from the skies (Dragon wings are overhead) And you're about to die So close the wind is blowing, a vortex from the wing My ears were almost bleeding as the beast was about to sing Felt the heat from the breath that it was blowing through the air It didn't sense my wonder, and didn't seem to care Didn't have a plan for cover, never had the need Of what was about to happen, trembling indeed Terror and despair like I had never seen before No plan to shield myself, but frightened from the roar Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh Oh-oh, ooh Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh Oh-oh, ooh Death from the skies (Now I know that it's for real) And I can feel the fire Death from the skies (Dragon wings are overhead) And you're about to die Armored scales that shield the beast from danger all around Massive wings to keep the space and hover over ground Razor spikes that slice the air On the whipping end of a tail The screech of a warning A battle piercing wail Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh Oh-oh, ooh Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh Oh-oh, ooh Death from the skies (Now I know that it's for real) And I can feel the fire Death from the skies (Dragon wings are overhead) And you're about to die Death from the skies (Now I know that it's for real) And I can feel the fire Death from the skies (Dragon wings are overhead) And you're about to die 10. Reaggression
You can see the blood in hand
The violence of modern man The echoing of kicking can The foiling of another plan The writing that is on the wall Says for a good time give a call The teachers of your children small Are not who they say, not at all I can't take this anymore I can't open up the door Moving forward, giving thrust Is not the only way for us To win the battle, with the rust Collecting on my brain And there's a shadow on my future Where success should ever lie And there are way too many forks to know Which path is really mine I can't take this anymore I can't end up on the floor (I can't, I can't end up on the floor) I can't take this anymore I can't open up the door (Looks like I lost my key) It's a constant battle just to live and not to die It's a dream to live without tomorrow in my mind And I used to see my future standing over me at last You can't open up tomorrow without closing down the past Reaggression Reaggression Reaggression Reaggression Blackened eye, a bloody lip Never abused, just a slip The scars that tell a story are all talking once again But I can see the knuckle bruises cross the center of your eye There's a massive storm brewin', and yet safer than inside I can't take this anymore (Can't take this anymore) I can't end up on the floor (I can't, I can't end up on the floor) I can't take this anymore I can't open up the door (Looks like I lost my key) 11. Undone
They cast an evil web
And trap the deepest thoughts of mind They've got those arms of law in many ways They can wrap you up into a daze They'll suck the life and history Right out of your dark soul Don't fall in to their deadly game Your life will never be the same Why did you tell me I'm the one That can't be left or undone? How can I carry on again? Why did you leave me so undone? Why did you tell me I'm the one That can't be left or undone? How can I carry on again? Why did you leave me so undone? They take your life They bleed your life so bad From digging in their fangs They've got that money power Draining your heart dry And I can see the attraction When they venom fill your heart You'll play the role of the victim As they're tearing you apart Why did you tell me I'm the one That can't be left or undone? How can I carry on again? Why did you leave me so undone? Why did you tell me I'm the one That can't be left or undone? How can I carry on again? Why did you leave me so undone? Why did you tell me I'm the one That can't be left or undone? How can I carry on again? Why did you leave me so undone? Why did you tell me I'm the one That can't be left or undone? How can I carry on again? Why did you leave me so undone? 12. Seven Seconds 'Til The End Of The World
The hour glass has lost its sand
Death stands tall and walks the land Drinking blood of the Godless nations A generation destined to end We walk the edge for many years A prophet's voice and a liar's tears All falling on deafened ears A generation destined to end Faithless pray, and all is gone Final days, the ending song Can you feel the fires burning Can you see the worm is turning Seven seconds 'til the end of the world Seven seconds 'til the end of the world Can't you feel the fire raging Can you hear the demons screaming Seven seconds 'til the end of the world Seven seconds 'til the end of the world And now the calm before the storm No where, no time left to run A fist slams on an iron sword A generation destined to end Blind lead the blind to a shallow grave The sun is hiding blackened haze A reckoning for all our ways This generation destined to end Faithless pray, and all is gone Final day, the ending song Can you feel the fires burning Can you see the worm is turning Seven seconds 'til the end of the world Seven seconds 'til the end of the world Can't you feel the fire raging Can you hear the demons screaming Seven seconds 'til the end of the world Seven seconds 'til the end of the world Can't you feel the fire burnin' Can you hear the demons screaming Can you feel the fires burning Can you see the worm is turning Seven seconds 'til the end of the world Seven seconds 'til the end of the world Can't you feel the fire raging Can't you hear the demons screaming Seven seconds 'til the end of the world Seven seconds 'til the end of the world |
