Lets rock!
Now the promise of never is replaced with half-hearted lies Sworn to kill with this diamond will and scarlet painted eyes Forced to rock! Rebellion, Rebellion In the name of Devil Starve To embrace our sins with all we are In the name of Satan, we are forced to rock Riding high on emptiness wearing only flames Receiting lines of tainted prose and innocence is slain Forced to rock! Rebellion, Rebellion In the name of the Devil Starve To take down this life with a feast of famine In the name of Satan, we are forced to rock Reaching out with hands of gold and famine is the feast Where the only hell is growing old we are starving for the beast Now the promise of never is replaced with half-hearted lies Sworn to kill with this diamond will and scarlet painted eyes Forced to rock! Rebellion, Rebellion In the name of the Devil Starve To take down this life with a feast of famine In the name of Satan, we are forced to... 02. A March For The Sick
Rock
You look to me with your resurrection eyes A curse of truth that is longing for disguise Now covered in scars unveiled by vanity The bloody mirror's shattered, it's left it's mark on me A march for the sick, starving for control To the bastard's beat Now shifting in shadows and crying for release All life has surrendered crawling on it's knees Covered in scars this curse of vanity I have come to learn I traded diamonds for disease A march for the sick, starving for control Dying on my knees, starving for control A march for the sick, starving for control To the bastard's beat Bring it down now,this loss must have it's reprisal Master the arts of guilt and denial Forgive the shameless, beg to remain nameless And forever dwell with regret behind my eyes Now shifting in shadow's and crying for release All life has surrendered crawling on it's knees Covered in scars this curse of vanity I have come to learn I traded diamonds for disease You look to me with your resurrection eyes A curse of truth that is longing for disguise Now covered in scars unveiled by vanity The bloody mirror's shattered, it's left it's mark on me A march for the sick, starving for control Dying on my knee, starving for control A march for the sick, starving for control To the bastard's beat Bring it down now, this loss must have it's reprisal Master the arts of guilt and denial Forgive the shameless, Beg to remain nameless And forever dwell with regret behind my eyes 03. From Soulless To Shattered (Art In Dying)
Penance for this breath of black betrayal
Stoic, famished guard the walls of this scarlet temple Awaits to hear the sound of armies marching underground and the screams of failures conquest A wish to waste and rise alone with only the wolves I call my own A starving withered statue Amidst the ruins you once knew Condemned to defend The weakened flesh of this facade from all that breathes and lies within The vultures swarm and sharpen their talons Upon wings of torment flying Who is to say there is no art in dying A starving withered statue Amidst the ruins you once knew A shrine for the sick to gather From here to hell, from soulless to shattered From soulless to shattered To destroy and conquer this failure with a will of sharpened razors To forget what has been done And all I have over come Penance for this breath of black betrayal Stoic, famished guards the walls of this scarlet temple Awaits to hear the sound of armies marching underground And the screams of failures conquest Upon wings of torment flying Who is to say there's no art in dying 04. Beyond Forlorn
The dreams of others
Wither by light of day When the truth's uncovered You will find me wasting away A dark curse upon me Flesh bound to the whipping post Hunted and haunted Stalked by nostalgia the memory of a ghost Beyond forlorn, the answers lie in loneliness Disease reborn, I am so full on emptiness In the heart of torture Came the vulture's melody To grant my wishes A pardon from this malady A drop of poison Just a drop to call the armies off A chance for release For release is all I ever want Beyond forlorn, the answers lie in loneliness Disease reborn, I am so full on emptiness The greed that blankets passion Keeps all of our grief in fashion And as the fervor slowly dies I damn my soul to open up the sky From this failing temple Draped in scarlet shrouds The starving statue Looks on and speaks aloud Locked inside the famine chamber I am the prince of emaciation Under the spell of the coldest slender Grant me my wish, release the poison A dark curse upon me Flesh bound to the whipping post A drop of poison Just a drop to call the armies off Beyond forlorn The answers lie in loneliness Disease reborn I am so full on emptiness The greed that blankets passion Keeps all of our grief in fashion Beyond forlorn, Stalked by nostalgia My memories are your ghost 05. The Ten Of Swords
The vultures have been waiting
To feast upon their prey With the vengeance knife This disdain for life ends today With grand anticipation The frail have been stalked Showing no remorse This lifeless corpse is forced to rock A season of starvation is at hand Has the bastard come to eat me again? Wasting, lying the famine horde If we are the nightmare, I am the ten of swords The temple has been conquered No more statues gazing on And this wretched plague of reason's wrath Quietly awaits the dawn Still the threat of starving vultures Poised for attack, under cold skies, with blinded eyes I watch my back A season of starvation is at hand Has the bastard come to eat me again? To fall away without fear of emptiness For it must take great strength to starve Wasting, lying the famine horde If we are the nightmare, I am the ten of swords Still the threat of starving vultures Poised for attack, under cold skies, with blinded eyes I watch my back, with grand anticipation The frail have been stalked Showing no remorse This lifeless corpse is force to rock A season of starvation is at hand Has this bastard come to eat me again? To fall away without fear of emptiness For it must take great strength to starve 06. Closer To Cold
All that I know, erased by lies
That have eaten my memories away I walk words towards fate Step by step Closer to cold The rise of emptiness Closer to cold Guilt unites with regret I have taken starvation As my one and only bride Chosen to live life as a disease personified And in the call of winter, I learned the words to make it stop An oath, a pact with sickness We must always walk hand in hand Closer to cold the rise of emptiness Closer to cold Guilt unites with regret I am veiled in tears of scarlet mourn One step closer to cold All reason is unborn By the chant of seven whistlers tune We grow closer to death beneath this cold and blood dimmed moon Closer to cold The rise of emptiness Closer to cold Guilt unites with regret All that I know, erased by lies That have eaten my memories away I walk towards fate Step by step By the chant of seven whistlers tune We grow closer to death beneath this cold and blood dimmed moon Closer to cold The rise of emptiness Closer to cold Guilt unites with regret 07. Sick Perfection
A sickening sermon held with the mirror's gaze
Without flesh to offer, without will to save Now deceit's reflection, glares back with lying eyes and recites the lie that brought this corpse to life And I must deny myself all life's pleasures For in this denial I have found sick perfection Now I beg to serve the night in the blazing curse of the dawn To shatter the mirror and see what lies beyond With frozen fear and guilt to feed the sightless wisdom That I held near, as close as any fucking coffin And I must deny myself all life's pleasures For in this denial I have found sick perfection Now I beg to serve the night in the blazing curse of dawn To shatter the mirror and see what lies beyond A reflection of disease, a twisted vision of deceit With one last breath to tell the tale Of failures conquest, of shattered spells Embrace the knowledge, embrace the sickness Elegant yet perverse, I'm in the clutches of vanity's curse Now I beg to serve the night in the blazing curse of dawn To shatter the mirror and see what lies beyond 08. Half Past Corpse O'Clock
We mourn the pale and listless
It's half past corpse o'clock Praise the sick, hail the twisted Sell your soul it's time to rock Let's celebrate our life's failures That we are forced to repeat Breed the bastard despite the knowledge That with flesh comes deceit With a blind oath to madness we are forced to rebel Wearing a badge of our shame let's starve for the devil! How long I have tried to separate my guilt from all of my lies How long you have tried to see beyond the emptiness of my eyes A curse to grant your wishes When it's half past corpse o'clock Realize your reason's twisted Starve your soul, it's time to rot Let's forget ever moment For human life is frail And all I know for certain Is that the mirror shows us hell With a blind oath to madness we are forced to rebel Wearing a badge of our shame let's starve for the devil! How long I have tried to separate my guilt from all of my lies How long you have tried to see beyond the emptiness of my eyes The blindness of our eyes and the madness that it brings The seven whispers are silent as a carcass choir sings How long I have tried to separate my guilt from all of my lies How long have you tried to see beyond the emptiness of my eyes? 09. Escape Artist
Take hold and feel the flames that we control, this hell can feed our shame and cleanse the soul
And though I choose to walk this path And face the plague of reason's wrath The graven songs and tortured words Of a thousand liars shall be my bible The art of self denial A bloody hangman's trial All ways to praise the works Of the escape artist This cold resistance cannot fail me now It holds the pleasures sick perfection won't allow And though all self has been denied I've reached the level few have tried And at the side of the beast I am seated for the famine feast The art of self denial A bloody hangman's trial All ways to praise the works Of the escape artist Theses eyes are longing for release Yet the coldness follows me These eyes are longing for release This is famine The art of self denial A bloody hangman's trial All ways to praise the works Of the escape artist These eyes are longing for release Yet the coldness follows me These eyes are longing for release This is famine 10. Sable Rising
Kissing the stillness, caressed by the cold
This path of deceit shall never grow old Ageless and guiltless, feasting on damnation And the ever growing fear in their eye One lash for my guilt and two for my lies Beaten by the wolves in innocence disguised Kissing the stillness, caressing the cold In the mouth of damnation, I am growing old We have come on wings of torment Follow us, all of us, sable rising With our guilt to feed the vultures Follow us, all of us, sable rising The temple lay in ruin And the artist has escaped Leaving his works behind The starving statue takes its shape Kissing the stillness, caressed by the cold This path of deceit shall never grow old One lash for my guilt and two for my lies Beaten by the wolves in innocence disguised We have come on wings of torment Follow us, all of us, sable rising With our guilt to feed the vultures Follow us, all of us sable rising |
