Broken teeth, a shattered jaw
Ten to one, behold my God Wicked sons of Heaven's loss Raise your own inverted cross Kings of earth, iron first Serve the sacred you dismissed Stand before your final day Choke on every line you pray Raise your glass to death Not one second left [Chorus:] Wake the lifeless, die to fight this Stand beside me, storm the gates of Hell Wake the lifeless, die to fight this Stand beside me, storm the gates of Hell Storm the gates of Hell Coward's heart, a serpent's tongue Stand to face what you've outrun Fear of death, fear of pain Bound to all you took in vain No more lies, no regrets Sever ties and hollow debt Open eyes, live to learn Or watch your blessed temple burn Raise your glass to death Not one second left [Chorus] Hell hath no fury at all 02. Lead Us Home
One more day
This time I'll bite the bullet Let me stay And set this life ablaze Give myself to compromise And let the hammer fall From blackened eyes to broken ties I've bled to know them all Driven to the brink of death I heed deceptions call Through bitter tears, forgotten years I've come to sever all [Chorus:] Lead us home Lead us home Our tired hearts are failing now, from the inside out Lead us home One more time This day I kill the witness Take back what's mine And give disgrace a name Give myself to compromise And let the hammer fall From blackened eyes to broken ties I've bled to know them all Driven to the brink of death I heed deceptions call Through bitter tears, forgotten years I've come to sever all [Chorus] Blessed hands will tear me off And break me at the wrist Drag me back to solid ground And slay the fate I kiss [Chorus] 03. Sixteen
[Feat. Bruce Fitzhugh]
Sixteen, Oh holy day Your time has come and passed The rapture we've been waiting for Has come to us at last Sixteen for every fake Sixteen to every whore Wipe that dirt from off your face Sixteen is at your door Oh, voiceless, wasted You soaked your heart in gasoline Now light it up and burn [Chorus:] The same cycle ever-turning you is calling It's calling The scene is begging for a grave tonight It always, it always will You take the name of love divine And drag it through your blood Now turn to face what you have made And mourn what you have done Oh, voiceless, wasted You soaked your heart in gasoline Now light it up and burn Voiceless, wasted I came this far to drag you down And watch you take your turn [Chorus] Farewell to false pretension Farewell to hollow words Farewell to fake affection Farewell, tomorrow burns [Chorus] 04. Fading Away
It's in this wake that I find myself
Losing the will to resume this Hell When every breath is a dying wish It's harder to follow the point of this This broken place that I call my home Has deepened the sorrow that I have sown And I can't erase what is in my heart I want it to finish before it starts My own solution insufficient again No false illusion, this devouring threat I break the vessel, giving air to its red And open my fate to the darkened sky [Chorus:] I've been fading away I've been waiting on the call to reach my veins Ready or not No attention to waste Every sorrow of the soul will read my name When I cease to exist So now I've come to the final sleep I pray that forgiveness is mine to keep I know it's hard to forget this man Driving the failure into your hands My own solution insufficient again No false illusion, this devouring threat I break the vessel, giving air to its red And open my fate to the darkened sky [Chorus] 05. Carry Me Down
And if you see me losing ground
Don't be afraid to lie I know the pain inside my heart can't break the fear inside of yours And if you see me losing faith In what it means to die Don't let me leave before I know what lies behind the stained glass doors Save sorrow for the souls in doubt Bleed every care out [Chorus:] Will you carry me down the aisle that final day With your tears and cold hands shaking from the weight When you lower me down beneath that sky of gray Let the rain fall down and wash away your pain For every word we never spoke We have a tear to cry For every silence like a wall between a better you and I So if you see me losing sight Of all the death in life You'll find the peace in every time I failed to see the death in mine Let all the fear inside you drown Tear out the blade and lay it down Save sorrow for the souls in doubt Bleed every care out [Chorus] Oh, the blood is rushing out Oh, I'm better off without Oh, the walls are closing in Oh, sing for me again [Chorus] (Rain down, oh rain down, no care for the flood) 06. A Thread Of Light
These words are a weapon for the ones in pain
A fair fight for the children of a lesser name We are the war against the sick and fatal fall of man A hollow tip to the notion of a Godless stand Quick to slam the gavel on a true solution You let the fear become a stranglehold Tear it all apart so you can render your own belief You never listened to what you were told Condemned You built a wall, disbelief is all you left us Reaction Without a thought, your resolve is to reject us [Chorus:] You found your darkness stands on a thread of pinhole light And all you wanted was perfection You found your darkness stands on a thread of pinhole light So all you are is contradiction You buried the chance in a self-righteous glance So your sons and your daughters were safe But your imperfect path is a heart made of glass And the world is a charming grenade Condemned You built a wall, disbelief is all you left us Reaction Without a thought, your resolve is to reject us [Chorus] 07. I Am You
A black heart in an empty shell where the desperation laid waste - I am you
A blank page in an unknown book and the opposition you face I am the endless scar, the broken hope, the gaping hole in your faith - I am you The dark trail of endless graves where all the lifeless lay I am waiting for that blade to fall and cut me free of this Hollow life that leads to all the ends that don't exist [Chorus:] Time to burn this design, to free ourselves We will burn this together Time to fuse this design, to make us one We will burn this together A new voice for the broken souls in a world awaiting its death - I am you An everlasting well of life for the hopeless and the wrecked I am the dying self, the narrow path, the calm that conquered the storm - I am you The crosshairs on the head of shame, the negation to conform I am waiting for that blade to fall and cut me free of this Hollow life that leads to all the ends that don't exist [Chorus] I will rise I will break this You will rise You will break this We will rise We will take them down Rise and break them down Down, down, down Break them down [Chorus] 08. Incision
Don't leave us
They said that you had gone astray Don't lead us Away from the light We stood behind the veil and watched you walk away from us You shattered all our dreams in one fatal mistake You fractured every piece of life that we cared about, remember how You breathed in us new life and then you took it away, you'll never live that down I gave you every guiding word to cut it off, cut it off, cut it off, cut it off Now you hand me back the blade to make that first incision for you [Chorus:] Wait and see The weight of life may be the end of me; the tension, break me We held you up on high so why did you abandon us? We never thought you'd be the one to fall so far You fractured every piece of life that we cared about, remember how You breathed in us new life and then you took it away, you'll never live that down I gave you every guiding word to cut it off, cut it off, cut it off, cut it off Now you hand me back the blade to make that first incision for you For you 09. Thorns
Bitter thoughts became your every waking breath
Save the nights your hollow dreams revealed the sweet release of death In your thoughts you played a symphony of self But your soul had bled a darker song of close to nothing left Oh, The deliverance of blade and flame, your love And greater is the blood [Chorus:] You'll find it in the veil of night where solitude is born In the emptiness of broken flesh, at the mercy of the thorns You'll find it in the veil of night where solitude is born In the emptiness of broken flesh, at the mercy of the thorns Every line a path into an empty heart Where the words of now forgotten love fall silent in the dark Oh, The deliverance of blade and flame, your love And greater is the blood [Chorus] Sister, don't you sleep through your own eulogy Don't sever what you are for what you couldn't be [Chorus] 10. Follow The Wolves
Run
Every second is a pure affliction But I can feel your pain Choke back the burn of wrath as they violate your name No sign of innocence in this godforsaken place When the truth is in your hands, they'll spit upon your face Dismantle the ground they stand on Give power a name You've traveled the path of slander Now bury the shame Shed rejection Learn to follow the wolves [Chorus:] Run away to the blackened sky, through the fear of disbelief Run away from the hollow cries, to the shelter of release Run away to the blackened sky, through the fear of disbelief Run away from the hollow cries, to immunity See the struggle of the faithless lot as they negate their time How low to sink to the depths of their frame of mind Dismantle the ground they stand on Give power a name You've traveled the path of slander Now bury the shame Shed rejection Learn to follow the wolves [Chorus] No tear for desolation Nearing the end of our misery [Chorus] 11. Fiction Kingdom
Dig yourself a shallow grave
Your life is not the legacy of honor you would dig six feet for Broken is the way you came And broken is the way that you will leave when everything is paid for Make another hollow claim A fable of regurgitated nothing we could tear wide open False in every possible way Your god is still the powerless creation you will lose your hope in Now you bleed for the lord of hate that you stole from the pages of truth And separate the product from its own account, to birth a gospel of inferior view Black reign is all in dream Your truth is absolution's end [Chorus:] Dead is the way you stake your life on The oblivious belief What a waste to sell your spirit for Lay upon the bed you made Your word is not the legacy of truth that you would bet your life on Stand to face a mirrored blade And tremble in the wake of your conviction as you put your life on Now you bleed for the lord of hate that you stole from the pages of truth And separate the product from its own account, to birth a gospel of inferior view Black reign is all in dream Your truth is absolution's end [Chorus] This war is a page unwritten, but we know how it ends Take a step to the throne, convicted Choking back your amends Cry the death of fiction kingdom Your truth is absolution's end [Chorus] 12. The Wrath Of God
Tear at the voice inside
Dig a deeper tomb and all the self can finally resonate, resonate, resonate, resonate Tread on the path of pride You can be the god and let the faith become your enemy, enemy, enemy, enemy Breathe redemption into wasted life Closer, closer Find the wrath of God inside your eyes Closer, closer [Chorus:] Breathe deep And as the fear before you falls I know the pain is so unsettling Breathe deep So now you've built a thousand walls But in the end it's all unraveling Stand with a worthless sign Wave it in the path of every face you cannot tolerate, tolerate, tolerate, tolerate Breathe redemption into wasted life Closer, closer Find the wrath of God inside your eyes Closer, closer [Chorus] This is the last day that you will regret Wake from your sleep and never forget This is the last day that you will regret Closer, closer [Chorus] Closer, closer, closer, closer 13. No Reason To Exist
Lost
When the storm hits, you will leave this Awake Time will pass through, and break you Broken, or so you say Nobody bought that fable anyway So calloused, and so naive To wear a heart of fiction on your sleeve Bury every sign of life in filth and hollow trend And push against progression on the path of logic's end Like tears flowing upward [Chorus:] Lost, an aimless soul When the storm hits, you will leave this Awake to wasted days Time will pass through, and break you This wreckage you'll never be If you were raised in Hell you'd own the sea Don't tell me it's not your choice You sold a blessed future for some noise Bury every sign of life in filth and hollow trend And push against progression on the path of logic's end Like tears flowing upward [Chorus] With every waking second you front, another real life loses ground Ten thousand arms outstretched and you have the nerve to strike them all No reason to coexist? No reason to exist 14. Grand Finale
You'll find me face down, hands bound, ready for the blade to make me two
If judgment falls to meet this ground, that fate will run me through No day of wrath will see me break for that faithless breath of shame When the heretics come to make that list, be true to speak my name Leave all you see The curse of man is dead, the hourglass turned on its head And every care will fade away To wake a new day [Chorus:] Take every throe within us all The very breath inside our soul We bleed the life into your hold The very death of our control No man can bring a fatal sting and I laugh at the gallows thrall Just line it tight around my neck so my words will break that fall Fall Leave all you see The curse of man is dead, the hourglass turned on its head And every care will fade away To wake a new day [Chorus] That final day will fall And those who curse the sky will face the earth The many turn to one The God of Gods' own righteous son Begging for that second birth [Chorus] |
