We will trample on our children till this world is flooded red
No boundary for depravity, no silence for the dead Now weep for the life that you've lead We will follow vacant voices into our shallow graves Reiterate the verses of some self-consuming slave Now pay for the Hell that you praise Every curse, lie, violation of our lives Every careless error of breath, corruption of our minds All the blood and the shame, defamation of name The weight of a wicked world Embodied on a thankless crucifix Embodied on a blood-soaked crucifix The sacrament is broken, and all I see is red The idols of humanity, they tower overhead Now weep for the life that you've lead The gates have severed open, setting death upon this place Compelling us to hope in a revolting human race Now pay for the Hell that you praise Every curse, lie, violation of our lives Every careless error of breath, corruption of our minds All the blood and the shame, defamation of name The weight of a wicked world Embodied on a thankless crucifix Embodied on a blood-soaked crucifix Thine eyes have seen Sometimes I close my eyes to escape this crooked place It seems these fools? well, they never learn I guess it's easy to see the world the way I do The emptiness is a promise, the sin is just the proof Embodied on a thankless crucifix Embodied on a blood-soaked crucifix Thine eyes have seen 02. God Forsaken
So my dissent was a shallow defense I made to lay waste to the powers of fate
And all the blame I carry around my neck, a dead cycle of pain that I chase to find my way When the sovereign comes to me I eclipse in the shadow's veil Killing all I seek to be For the passing vain inhale A fall to the fires of Hell never failed to awaken Though my soul ascends, in the darkness of my heart again... I'm God forsaken With every turn I fail to learn my path and it's wearing down my days To be the voice of a half-dead, suffering age A never-ending seek that I chase to find my way When the sovereign comes to me I eclipse in the shadow's veil Killing all I seek to be For the passing vain inhale A fall to the fires of Hell never failed to awaken Though my soul ascends, in the darkness of my heart again... I'm God forsaken Now the grave is all I see A fall to the fires of Hell never failed to awaken Though my soul ascends, in the darkness of my heart again... I'm God forsaken 03. My Destiny
I cast my heart unto the beast
Unto my sin I would never find my faith In this belief unseen again The solitude of youth My conscience wearing thin I will suffer my infliction As a desecrated man But the fear The blood, the sweat and sound They brought me here To wait for the will to appear We were blinded by the sacred light They carried us away Like a razor through the dark that night My destiny Now the weight of living word Come calling true And my heart will drink the blood of death My soul forever knew On the reverence of a voice My clarity of you The king of whom I never was Has run my spirit through But the fear The blood, the sweat and sound They brought me here To wait for the will to appear We were blinded by the sacred light They carried us away Like a razor through the dark that night My destiny We were blinded by the sacred light They carried us away Like a razor through the dark that night My destiny We will carry that flame To wait for the will to appear We were blinded by the sacred light They carried us away Like a razor through the dark that night My destiny We were blinded by the sacred light They carried us away Like a razor through the dark that night My destiny The fire is in our name We will carry that flame The fire is in our name We will carry that flame 04. Wake
Lay your fear on the line and wake up
Now solitude of will has held you still against that wall Dividing soul from self, you cannot help but to dissolve Back down Don't come crying for help when the fire surrounds you When desperation calls you will obey Don't you follow the mass to an endless grave You've cut that vital main, now... Lay your fear on the line and wake up Lifeless years, unholy tears Throw your panic aside and let go Pain will bring to light your fears The gravity of death is on your breath, it dwells inside Hold fast to your distraction, feed ambivalence your time Hold your breath, retain your silence I don't buy your self-reliant soul 05. Tomorrow Never Comes
Is there nothing I can say?
When you turn around and carry on this way Have you lost the path we made? When your fear had pulled you far away from grace See you fading out again All your promises are taken with the wind And if tomorrow never comes for all the cold and bitter ones... we can breathe And if tomorrow never comes for all the cold and bitter ones... let us sleep Did they still your beating heart? (all the soul you gave) Did they take your words and tear them all apart? Does it kill to let it go? (sacrifice your name) I hope if follows you and breaks your frail bones Here we are, one final time To go and leave your soul behind 06. Someone To Hate
A figure for the closing of time, the antagonist divine
Void of vacant word, one final answer to be heard I will carry my decree into a storm of lead This is total war, my want for tolerance is dead To my last breath I am someone to hate I will spit upon the idol for which you stand I will carry the weight I will bury your deception with a wrathful hand Heart is cold, and my weapons are washed in blood I avow to the call on high My resolve in the blessed above, in this ever-consuming divide A figure for the closing of time, the antithesis defined Threat to faith untrue, I am the enemy of new All you advocates of Hell, you corruptors of free will The culling is nigh, better get your fill I am the cry for the falling of time Born into the lust within our eyes Taught to write the scriptures for our lives We inherit the lies To my last breath, to my final day 07. This I Know
Let my soul be a silent storm
Conceived in the fire of war I am the ruthless bane of a wicked world and I pray on the killing floor When I carve my name across this place it is to defile its vain and vile ways With every breath like a threat for tomorrow's embrace And the battle is my way I will go this path alone I will take unto my prey, this I know All others will fall Let my will be a violent path to tear apart what's left All Hell falls down around my feet when I speak with a word of wrath And the battle is my way I will go this path alone I will take unto my prey, this I know All my life will sing the pain My suffering will show In the fight I find my name, this I know The blade of my call One name above all All others will fall 08. Means To An End
[Instrumental]
09. We Don't Care
This is the end of everything
A degenerate culture's elegy Now the reaper is waiting at the door Drunk on our blood and craving more This is the sound of a thousand holy feet treading on a soon forgotten grave This is a life-long declaration of war, no sacrifice in vain Let them remember the name Feels like we've run out of air They tear the breath out from our lungs And we don't care Feels like we've run out of air Damnation passed down to our sons And we don't care Witness the end of apathy We have embraced our suffering Will the pain illuminate our fall? Or will we see the blame at all? No compromise to end We'll wash the blood off from our hands and fight again Remember the name 10. Resistance
Conviction was your shelter
Boarded up, rejected, left behind To lower life where aimless spirits die Suffer your indifference Tie that troubled stone around your neck Exalt your fall and hear your mother's cry Colder now Thank your hopeful solitude it's colder now Throw your blackened heart into Resistance (You had reason in your hands and you walked away) Resistance (Your time will not outlive your debt to pay) Resistance (You had reason in your hands and you walked away) Resistance Defiance on this day This plague is not your savior Turn the barrel's eyes upon this strife The truth, it will reveal that fading line There is a kingdom beyond your eyes Whole of redemption, defining will The path of self is wrought with fatal lies Send them back to Hell 11. Dead Flowers
I feel ashamed
With abandon in my heart And on my face I suffered the blame I would show you this way But I'm too late When the sorrow it breaks them I will replace them For you Dead flowers for the torn apart Laid at the grave To heal a broken heart Let it rain until it floods Let the sun breathe life once more Reborn Wish you the same To walk beside And carry on this flame To see you again With a radiance Of a pure and holy name When the sorrow it breaks them I will replace them For you Dead flowers for the torn apart Laid at the grave To heal a broken heart Let it rain until it floods Let the sun breathe life once more Reborn Dead flowers for the torn apart Laid at the grave To heal a broken heart Let it rain until it floods Let the sun breathe life once more Reborn Dead flowers for the torn apart [3x] Let it rain until it floods Let the sun breathe life once more Reborn Dead flowers for the torn apart [10x] 12. What Is Left
I saw you through my window
I let you crawl inside Your face became my shadow Your voice became my guide What is left? I take what I can get, and black out all the rest What is left? Some words that I forget, and more I regret I came here alone I thought you'd gone I left you in bones at the end of the road I came here alone The long way home I left you in bones at the end of the road I'm trying to evade you I'm dying to be done One solemn night I'll take you down the barrel of my gun 13. I Am Stone
It's hard to say that I'm back on a straight line
You'll see my path is in fact just a fault line It's in my blood, it's in my lungs, and it won't die I fight these words, I bite my tongue, so I don't lie Though it's me to blame, there is no more shame in me I just feel the same, immune to all this pain And the scars don't write a song for me at all I am a stone, unaffected Rain Hell down onto me Flesh and bone, unaffected Your fool I will not be I tried to see and believe in the short-sight Accept the burn of a vain and a half life And how you rest your faith in these for a lifetime The hollow lie against my hope that I won't buy No, your tears won't line a path for me to crawl The waters rise above my eyes I will breathe it in and go out with the tide And when you think this is the end You will find me there where I have always been |
