Feeding on the wrath of man
Shot down, traumatic Time haunted by the past Long gone, dogmatic Although the die is cast Shot down, volcanic But what is gone is gone and done Look back, psychotic No chance before this life began Staring into black light Dominating birthright Wrath of man Leaching through, split in two Wrath of man Crash into point of view Wrath of man Violence, inheritance Wrath of man Thrive upon, feeding on Seventy-two seasons gone Feeding on the wrath of man Shoot back, erratic Mad seasons take their toll New mask, chaotic Completely lost control Shoot back, fanatic Wither under looming shadow cast Slip back, narcotic Blinded by the ashes of the past Staring into black light Choking on the stage fright Wrath of man Lеaching through, split in two Wrath of man Crash into point of view Wrath of man Violence, inhеritance Wrath of man Thrive upon, feeding on Seventy-two seasons gone Piercing through, cut in two Polarize Point of view crash into Paralyze Feeding on the wrath of man Man down, barbaric Quick fire machine gun thoughts Deep seed, stigmatic Some have and some have not Man down, demonic No mercy from the ghost within Turn back, hypnotic There's breathing out, but not back in Staring into black light Permanently midnight Wrath of man Leaching through, split in two Wrath of man Crash into point of view Wrath of man Violence, inheritance Wrath of man Thrive upon, feeding on Seventy-two seasons gone Feeding on the wrath of man 02. Shadows Follow
Hanging by a thread as I play dead
Hanging by a thread and my mind is code red Cut and run, try to hide, get away, shut my eyes, just to hide from the fate Cut and run, try to hide, get away, cover up, get shelter from the hate Demonized, liquified, tranquilized, prophesied, just to hide from life Night and day, led astray, in decay, come what may, not to face that fight Seething, breathing, nightmares grow On I run, still, my shadows follow Never can I stop 'cause they haunt me Never can I stop 'cause the beast is hungry Like a wolf on the hunt, stalking prey, closing in No, it won't let me be Like a wolf on the hunt stalks a prey Any cost, fulfill a destiny Seething fast, breathing, nightmares grow On I run, still, my shadows follow On I run, but still, my shadows follow Cut and run, hide away from fate Cover up, try to hide the hate Like a wolf, it won't let me be Closing in, wish away, shut my eyes Wish it away Seething fast, breathing, nightmares grow On I run, still, my shadows follow Facin' my demons, now I know If I run, still, my shadows follow I say no still, my shadows follow 03. Screaming Suicide
Welcome to this life
Born into the fight Here to claim your dream Look you in the eye Patch the broken sky Craving dopamine Then my voice appears Teaching you of fears Are you good enough? You don’t recognize Head is full of lies You should just give up Listen well, better listen well Listen well, better listen well Don’t ever speak my name Remember you’re to blame Keep me inside Keep me inside My name is suicide Curse another day Spirit locked away Punish and deprive Hate to be awake Living a mistake More dead than alive Then a voice appears Whisper in your ears “You are good enough” Throwing down a rope A lifeline of hope Never give you up Listen well, better listen well Listen well, better listen well Don’t ever speak my name Remember you’re to blame Keep me inside Keep me inside My name is suicide Terrified in sleepless nights Caught in spotlight dead to rights Isolate and fight your mind Telling you you’re left behind My lying voice inside Keeps drinking cyanide And no more can you run Into the sun Terrified, sleepless nights Caught in spotlight dead to rights Isolate and fight your mind Telling you you’re left behind And now you speak my name You’ve given back the blame Keep me deep inside Don’t you keep me inside Screaming suicide Now that I’m exposed inside Shined a light on cyanide I’m no longer needed here Now you've faced your biggest fear 04. Sleepwalk My Life Away
Take a deep-waking breath
Hope the blood arrives Burn my eyes with the sun And pretend I'm alive It never will appear Strong as past desire Light warming disappears Like a cold, dead fire Should I fall, I fall down? Would you come, you come 'round? Wake me Caught in the spell I'm dreaming Wake me Day after day, repeating Wake me Sleepwalk my life away Stagger on through the fog In the midnight sun Shouting out at the shapes Of the namelеss no ones All isn't what it seems Cannot comprehend it Captive inside a dream Where the dawn won't end it Should I fall, I fall down? Would you come, you come 'round? Wake me Caught in the spell I'm dreaming Wake me Day after day, repeating Wake me Sleepwalk my life away Should I fall, I fall down? Would you come, you come 'round? Wake me Caught in the spell I'm dreaming Wake me Day after day, repeating Wake me Sleepwalk my life away "That was good, right?" 05. You Must Burn!
Catch a fire and burn all the misery
Foul fingers spin mob mentality Anger on the rise as the flames grow higher Choke on the smoke of the funeral pyre Backfire Killing all we've learned History will burn Burn it Smile as it burns to the ground The perfect don't want you around Question yourself, you may learn Who's the next witch you must burn? You must burn In the name of hell, henchmen to conspire Black figures loom as a dark desire Inquisition served, build your enemy Tied to the stake, torching heresy Flame out Killing all we've learned History will burn Burn it Smile as it burns to the ground The perfect don't want you around Question yourself, you may learn You are the witch, you must burn You must burn In the heat of the night, in the moon's shining light Feed the appetite In the heat of the night, in the moon's shining light Feed the appetite Smile as it burns to the ground The perfect don't want you around Question yourself, you may learn You are the witch, you must burn You must burn You must burn You must burn You must burn 06. Lux Æterna
Anticipation
In domination A sea of hearts beat as one, unified Magnification All generations Approaching thunder awaiting the light Full speed or nothing Full speed or nothing Lux Æterna Lux Æterna Exhilaration Frenzied sensation Kindred alliance connected inside Commiseration Sonic salvation Cast out the demons that strangle your life Full speed or nothing Full speed or nothing Lux Æterna Lux Æterna Lux Æterna Emancipation Kill isolation Never alone for the feelings alike Amplification Lightning the nation Never alive more Than right here tonight Full speed or nothing Full speed or nothing Lux Æterna Lux Æterna Light it 07. Crown Of Barbed Wire
So tight, this crown of barbed wire
It's destiny, I wear It splits the skin to the soul This jagged wreath I bear This rusted empire I own Bleed as I rust on this throne Pierce me with torment And all the rust that I own So tight, this crown of barbed wire So tight, this crown of barbed wire So tight, this crown Fist tight, it stains conviction Drips down to bloodshot eyes It crushes down what is real Deep crimson blots the skies This rusted empire I own Bleed as I rust on this throne Pierce me with torment And all the rust that I own So tight, this crown of barbed wire So tight, this crown of barbed wire So tight, this crown This rusted еmpire I own Bleed as I rust on this throne Pierce me with torment And all the rust that I own So tight (So tight), this crown of barbed wire So tight (So tight), this crown of barbed wire So tight, this crown 08. Chasing Light
There's no light
Ooh, down and out as darkness falls So much more than he can take Oh, shakes the cage in deep withdrawals Come on, give the boy a break Oh, he will break He's no mistake Chase that light, lean on me Face that fight, lean on me Catch your fall, lean on me End it all, lean on me Struggle on 'cause without darkness Without darkness, there's no light Ooh, lost his way through wicked streets But he is someone's little boy Oh, all the love a young one needs Thoughtless elders have destroyеd Endless destroy He's just a boy Chase that light, lean on me Face that fight, lean on me Catch your fall, lean on me End it all, lean on me Struggle on 'cause without darkness Without darkness, there's no light One step down, block it all from view One step down, with apathy, look straight through One step down, turn so you won't see One step down, he's just like you and me Chase that light, lean on me Face that fight, lean on me Catch your fall, lean on me End it all, lean on me Struggle on 'cause without darkness Without darkness, there's no light There's no light 09. If Darkness Had A Son
Temptation
Temptation Temptation Temptation The beast still shouts for what it’s yearning He stokes the fire, desire burning The never-ending quenchless craving The unforgiving misbehaving If darkness had a son, here I am Temptation is his father If darkness had a son, here I am I bathe in holy water Temptation, leave me be Temptation Temptation Temptation Temptation So paint your eyes as black as sorrow Hide yourself behind tomorrow The nightmares search for infiltration In domination, captivation If darkness had a son, here I am Temptation is his father If darkness had a son, here I am I bathe in holy water Temptation, leave me be Return again to where it’s darkest Dragging home this heathen harvest And all the children subjugated Manipulated, propagated If darkness had a son, here I am Temptation is his father If darkness had a son, here I am I bathe in holy water If darkness had a son Here I am If darkness had a son Here I am If darkness had a son Here I am I bathe in holy water Temptation, leave me be 10. Too Far Gone?
I, I am desperation
Need it so bad today I, I am isolation Static and disarray Need this, gotta have more Crawlin' out my skin Sickness, scarring returns Burning me again Too far gone Am I too far gone? Am I too far gone to save? Help me make it through the day Oh I, I am tribulation Digging down to the bone I, I am agitation Never leaves me alone Keep on, push it along Don't want to feel this Sink in, start to believe That I don't exist Too far gone Am I too far gone? Am I too far gone to save? Help me make it through the day Oh All away I am desperation All away I am isolation All away I am agitation All away Too far gone Never too far gone I'm too far gone to save I can make it through the day Make it through the day Just for today 11. Room Of Mirrors
In a mirrored room, all alone I stand
Strip away the phantom fame Exposing all sides to see The good and bad in me In a mirrored room, all alone I stand Seeing past the flesh and bone The shame and the fear I hide Could I show you what's inside? Would you criticize, scrutinize, stigmatize my pain? Would you summarize, patronize, classify insane? So I stand here before you You might judge, you might just bury me Or you might set me free In a mirrored room, talking to myself And the voices pushing back I'll let them inside my heart But they'll tear it all apart In a mirrored room, just a simple man Naked, broken, beat, and scarred What do I really know? That fear of letting go Would you criticize, scrutinize, analyze my pain? Would you summarize, patronize, classify insane? So I stand here before you You might judge, you might just bury me Or you might set me, or you might set me free Would you criticize, scrutinize, ostracize my pain? Would you summarize, patronize, classify insane? So I stand here before you You might judge, you might just bury me Or you might set me Oh, please, won't you set me free? Yeah, yeah 12. Inamorata
Welcome, won't you come inside?
Leave the ghost where I reside Despite how they're refusin' me If only I would never be Comfort in the hell I know Resentment like a cancer grows Longing for the day I'm free Burning gets you out of me Lyin', supplyin' in need Shedding and spreading the seed Setting the trap with a thread Spinnin' a web Misery, she needs me Oh-oh, but I need her more Misery, she loves me Oh-oh, but I love her more Misery, she kills me Oh-oh, but I end this war Misery, she fills me Oh no, but she's not what I'm livin' for Ricochets within my head Conversations never said Magnifyin' every thought That familiar pain she bought Seeps inside eventually Misery loves company Sorry I created you I suppose that I could end you too She weeps (She weeps, she weeps, she weeps) She weeps (She weeps, she weeps, she weeps) Misery, she needs me Oh-oh, but I need her more Misery, she loves me Oh-oh, but I love her more Misery, she kills me Ooh, but I end this war Misery, she fills me Oh no, but she's not what I'm livin' for, oh no Ooh, misery She needs me But I need her more She loves me But I love her more She kills me (She kills me) But I end this war She fills me (She fills me) And she's not what I'm livin' for, oh no, oh no No, no, no, no, no, no Not while I'm livin' Misery, she needs me Oh-oh, but I need her more Misery, she loves me Oh, but I love her more Misery, she kills me Oh, but I end this war Misery, she fills me Oh no, but she's not what I'm livin' for Misery, my misery Misery, my misery Misery She's not why I'm livin' (My misery) She's not why I'm livin' Misery She's not what I'm livin' for, no, no (My misery) |
