Deeper shades of red descending
Smear our names, the stains unending Turn forgiveness, break the lens distorted Crush the infidel and turn about Famine in our hearts, bring up the silence louder Eradicate the lungs and take us higher now! These are the wonders at your feet! Weighed upon a wider scale Afraid to see what takes us down Sing destruction, sing of unfullfillment Search abandoned, let the blood be fevered Ridden of the self provided things get easier Ignite our minds and let's burn brighter now! These are the wonders at your feet! 02. Not Built To Last
What came as no surprise
To a jaded mind no less Insight comes to soothing grace Left to waiting days ...another chord unstrummed Our secret's safe and sound Solid now unless it breaks in two Faithfully unbound None of this was ever built to last In the paleness of a less than life From a corner watching old paint dry Never once a break Into the self again An endeavour that will flat our fail What maturity comes to end Never one to face ...another beat undone Our secret's safe and sound Solid now unless it breaks in two Faithfully unbound None of this was ever built to last Once again Another instant saved today Left a print that leads nowhere Never built to last What makes it work A part of life that makes the weak hearts grow Take it in if you're willing to say Willing to do Prepared to lay it down Just know this It was never built to last 03. Indifferent Suns
And although it can be argued
Whether time will ever come to end There is an overcoming sense of failing If you never can see the end In the giving of our hope eternal We stumble blindly and forget the way Is there ever time for answers When the world comes tumbling down All along we keep staring at the sun Closing our minds Saying we're the ones All along we keep staring at the sun Blind to see it when the day will come And even if in days of wonders A glance that may stray from the fold Cast aside in the spirit of ignorance A mere nuisance when it's time to pay Come undone now the strive and the passion Giving under to the forces that be Can you even think of questions When the world comes tumbling down All along we keep staring at the sun Closing our minds Saying we're the ones All along we keep staring at the sun Blind to see it when the day will come We shut our eyes and turn away... All along we keep staring at the sun Closing our minds Saying we're the ones All along we keep staring at the sun Blind to see it when the day will come 04. Feast Of Burden
"Scars torn open
Bondage slave Eating my wrists" A thrust that numbs the pain Secondary now the instinct Thrust beyond control Chaotic Are the tracks before me Barren are the ones behind Carried in a cage controlling Driven Driven on, driven in Headlong onto the breach Driven on, driven in Taken to the extreme Headlong onto the breach Pumping fast the race is on Furious in striving The feast of burden begins The feast of burden begins Driven on, driven in Taken to the extreme Headlong onto the breach Driven on, driven in Headlong onto the breach "The enslaving force Thrown ahead Unrelenting" Faithfully holding fast Steaming ahead unknowing Careless again it seems Oblivious to the pressure The feast of burden begins The feast of burden begins 05. Haven
Now as the lights go down
Deeper now it seems than long before There are no noises here Just a silence gone bad Something I will never hide This urging need to Invite the darkside in... Invite the darkside... Invite the darkside in... Invite the darkside... In... In... In... Into my haven If there were words for this, Would I sing or should I scream? I'd give my blood to stay My blood, just to stay right here Something I can never share This urging need to Invite the darkside in... Invite the darkside... Invite the darkside in... Invite the darkside... In... In... In... Into my haven 06. The Same
What we always fear and loathe
Becomes of us Repay the visit of our loss Reset the marks again The turning point, The turning point seems to be holding on... Sands of ages and the stars above Everchanging as the same heart beats Repeating 'till the end Seas of slander and the soil we walk Everchanging as these old hearts beat It ends up, all the same The sail that never knew the wind Oh, barren and lost Our wrecks these shores will never reach A trek on darker trails Let days be done, let days be done, let days... It takes forever, holding on! Sands of ages and the stars above Everchanging as these same hearts beat Repeating 'till the end Seas of slander and the soil we walk Everchanging as these old hearts beat It ends up, all the same Come on now, holding on... Sands of ages and the stars above Everchanging as these same hearts beat Repeating 'till the end Seas of slander, and the soil we walk Everchanging as these old hearts beat It ends up... the same! 07. Fabric
Scattered throughout now
Indefinite form Willed to find strangers In the wickedest state When it comes upon you my friend Fear not - it makes us men Hidden within ourselves now Lured into hiding out of sight Creation in purity We don't need no host Suck it in... It waits for noone Take it down... The coming of descent Fiery changeling Reddened and frail Perspire to save it The remnant of this game If it launches again today Will our lives begin again Turning away from tides of lust Stronger return against all odds Suck it in... It waits for noone Take it down... The coming of descent Raised to take stand To separate grace Shown in the wake of new light Seeing it will break The flavour of aquired taste Another boundary yet to face Witness the revolution The fabric of essence Come again Suck it in... It waits for noone Take it down... The coming of descent 08. Ego Drama
Wrestled on its back
The ego showed his face Charged up, recieving Came out knowing Hopeless intrusion Where nothing can be found Strewn, the seeds were wasted On the innocent in awe Fruitless connection In the ripeness of his age Drawn and thrust in anger The dagger once again will fail The ego drama unfolds Hopeless intrusion Where nothing can be found Strewn, the seeds were wasted On the innocent in awe It's over, it's over If nothing comes along It's over, it's over It's over for you So in denial stand where shame is not And unto others fall The blame, the guilt, the others fault Come on now- Scratch and claw with all your strength Take on the wildest bull in the horde Come burn them fingers fast And take back what they owe Return the safety where there was none... Hopeless intrusion Where nothing can be found Strewn, the seeds were wasted On the innocent in awe Fruitless connection In the ripeness of his age Drawn and thrust in anger The dagger once again will fail 09. Rundown
Cowardice, this chain of events
Gather and plot the ensnaring of me (ensnaring) Gone now the sense of lust Is there a cost for the reckless excess? Taken in the growth and trust Retaliatory strike at the weakest spot Raked away the remains of my fall That laid scattered cross plains of regret Humble in defense of the wicked Run down, naked and blind Merciless, the onslaught of demands Get in line for the numbing I won't make a stand Redeemer of the slavery Reconcile with the carefree and content Ensnarer, caretaker Lead not these the frail into battle again Crossing out the ramblings of others Tired of the same old refrain Knowing this will all be corrected Torn down, wasted and lost I can't take it anymore 'cause I am rundown Can't take it anymore 'cause this is wrong Tired and rundown Tired and rundown Spat it out The foolish lines you fed It holds a place in the civilized mind Forcefed, the turn of our venturesome quest Being rundown as we seek Rundown The day this was lost All that you see All that'll be Rundown 10. Emptier Still
Secrets in here
Claim no belonging Together again Or send me to madness I know that I should have listened Was given a choice I turned down forever So tell me are you lonely So tell me are you... Emptier still As time takes us further Away from the goals By which we are measured I know that I should have stayed true To you and to me But time never heals So here alone I stand So tell me are you lonely So tell me are you mine I see you standing there Your face against the wall So turn right around I who know your deepest fear And yet you walk away So turn right around So tell me are you lonely So tell me are you mine Don't speak for you are me 11. At Loss For Words
In waiting for...
Waiting for the signs to bring The first to sing Felt in between these fears Set to unknown tunes So tempt these fragile fiends A grace gone dark You'll never know You'll never feel You'll never taste, The depths of your defeat! Break into the hearts and minds of man Never one to tell Never one to tell Sucking on a lie that never ends Found at loss for words Found at loss for words Locking on... Locking on to faith gone bad Sweet touch of sin Not in the sleight of hand Can facts be lost, So never understate your case Deny our weight There never is There never was There never can be, A break from binding chains! Break into the hearts and minds of man Never one to tell Never one to tell Sucking on a lie that never ends Found at loss for words Found at loss for words 12. Cornered
There never was a night like this
How could there ever be Through sweat and velvet misery The fever race in me Cornered in a symmetrical design Sphere-like chrome on a sea enraged... hatred What the mirror sees is the clutching at straws taking us under The storm of the ocean this velvety crush Ringcorners- firm in the outrage Synaptic patterns Waves contort Break into these cellular walls Why... Globes of disease, infest my dreams burning the ends of my veins Pattern and form, the squares cling fast Dance the tide now Could never bare another night although I know it'll come The freezing ends of what is me The icy rages... free Cornered in a symmetrical design Sphere-like chrome on a sea enraged... hatred Take hold of the boundaries - The Perimeter Sea Burn! Enflame the oppressors But if four was one in a corner alone recovering - licking the wounds delirium coming the weakness kicks in Resigning, cornered within |
