02. Rain Music & lyrics by Matt Heafy, Corey Beaulieu, Paolo Gregoletto and Travis Smith
Every time I'm left alone
My misery begins to drown me Tied by a rope of anxiety Thrown overboard As I'm pulled under the tides of this fast paced world I refuse to see Time will always be the thing that kills me truly Open these eyes waking from a dream feigning My lungs fill up with letdown Disappointment in self and everyone Expectations died in failure abandonment my unsavior As I'm pulled under the tides of this fast paced world I refuse to see Time will always be the thing that kills me truly Open these eyes waking from a dream feigning Absolution at the sight of your demise I know what I must do Choke Die choking on your every word Swallow every blasphemy Absolution at the sight of your demise I know what I must do Swallow every blasphemy Eat out your heart and make it bleed Tie the noose around my neck Make this life end 03. Pull Harder On The Strings Of Your Martyr Music & lyrics by Matt Heafy, Corey Beaulieu, Paolo Gregoletto and Travis Smith
The face and the lips tremble as it rips
Your breath quickening as heat rushes in Pull harder strings martyr Stop you cry that's a lie Flush gasping white reddening You smile and destroy it, it's time that we end this It's our curse that makes this world so hopeless Allowing our king to spread his genocidal wings Clawing the skin each kill your weakness Annihilation your masturbation, tyrant, I'll burn you down Pull harder strings martyr Stop you cry that's a lie Flush gasping white reddening You smile and destroy it, it's time that we end this It's our curse that makes this world so hopeless Allowing our king to spread his genocidal wings My hands grip your throat I need your end Burned, staked, ripped apart, I avenge For every life you have taken I am here to repay You ask me oh God why 'Cause I'm God that's fucking why For every life you have taken I am here to repay Pull harder strings martyr Stop you cry that's a lie Flush gasping white reddening You smile and destroy it, it's time that we end this It's our curse that makes this world so hopeless Allowing our king to spread his genocidal wings 04. Drowned And Torn Asunder Music & lyrics by Matt Heafy, Corey Beaulieu, Paolo Gregoletto and Travis Smith
Force-feed them your ways
Dictate up a blinded swarm Society's afraid Declaration of rebellion We will not stand defeat Deconstructing their hold Our vengeance will be tenfold Our enemies will be drowned The opposing torn asunder Take all your lives back Arson all they create The time is now to lead the battle Declaration of rebellion We will not stand defeat Deconstructing their hold Our vengeance will be tenfold Our enemies will be drowned The opposing torn asunder Deconstructing their hold Our vengeance will be tenfold Our enemies will be drowned The opposing torn asunder 05. Ascendancy Music & lyrics by Matt Heafy, Corey Beaulieu, Paolo Gregoletto and Travis Smith
All this life shrouded in a veil
Of deception in association But now I will witness thee With unblinded open eyes Judas I bury you in your own blood You only held me down from what I was suppose to be Ascend above the ashes of the world I once knew All this life shrouded in a veil Of deception in association But now I will witness thee With unblinded open eyes Judas I bury you in your own blood You only held me down from what I was suppose to be Ascend above the ashes of the world I once knew Ascendancy is the only thing this will prove I spread the fuel with fire Desire To incinerate all Behold I rise Phoenix Ascend above the ashes Ascend above it all Judas I bury you in your own blood You only held me down from what I was suppose to be Ascend above the ashes of the world I once knew Ascendancy is the only thing this will prove 06. A Gunshot To The Head Of Trepidation Music & lyrics by Matt Heafy, Corey Beaulieu, Paolo Gregoletto and Travis Smith
You starve your children on neglect
Then feed their bellies with fear Concussion bat to the brain Witness to a battered mother Your abuse will end right here No longer will your family fear A gunshot to head of trepidation My promise if you ever lay a finger Just look at the scars you make Your terror makes your kids break A broken home just as you were raised With fist raised up to your children Your abuse will end right here No longer will your family fear A gunshot to head of trepidation My promise if you ever lay a finger This battle is on all You've made beautiful Now hateful You wretched life wrecker Abuser Now suffer Open fire On the desire of the man Open fire With strife we'll strike down the hand (Open fire, build the pyre) If I can't make you see the damage you've made (Open fire, build the pyre) I'll make you wish you'd never been alive 07. Like Light To Flies Music & lyrics by Matt Heafy, Corey Beaulieu, Paolo Gregoletto and Travis Smith
Behold our beloved revels
In tragedy (in tragedy) Self-denying avarice for bloodshed Behold hypocrite Those who run will be burned Devoutly wished for blinded eyes This tragedy's like light to the flies This seems to suit you better Bleeding out the eyes Hope's left in chain suspension Holding onto lies, to make the truth Behold our beloved revels In tragedy (in tragedy) Self-denying avarice for bloodshed Behold hypocrite Those who run will be burned Devoutly wished for blinded eyes This tragedy's like light to the flies This seems to suit you better Bleeding out the eyes Hope's left in chain suspension Holding onto lies, to make the truth 08. Dying In Your Arms Music & lyrics by Matt Heafy, Corey Beaulieu, Paolo Gregoletto and Travis Smith
I'm wearing thin wearing out becoming weak
Holding hands with this rope she's my self-destructive Bleeding disease the things that makes it hard to breathe But if I shoved you far away This addict just starved again asphyxiated And now I see it's you that's tearing me ensnaring me This is me dying in your arms I cut you out now set me free Lynched high above what used to be In her gallows built for me So I escaped cut this noose around my Neck I break free to see the things you blinded me And I shoved you far away Now I live the life I dreamed of You're dead to me And now I see it's you that's tearing me ensnaring me This is me dying in your arms I cut you out now set me free You poisoned my life So I take this knife And I cut you out Cut you out And now I see it's you that's tearing me ensnaring me This is me dying in your arms I cut you out now set me free 09. The Deceived Music & lyrics by Matt Heafy, Corey Beaulieu, Paolo Gregoletto and Travis Smith
Disintegration constituents to decompose of the parts
A malformation utopia systematic unity can't be achieved Be numb to all the things That force you to frame We are the deceived Lost in the foreseen To wait for aforementioned dreams time will only tell Tell that the promised have been failed Disintegration constituents to decompose of the parts A malformation utopia systematic unity can't be achieved Be numb to all the things That force you to frame We are the deceived Lost in the foreseen To wait for aforementioned dreams time will only tell Tell that the promised have been failed Behold your fellow man through centuries of control Adhering to the decrees of a manufactured god To wait for aforementioned dreams time will only tell Tell that the promised have been failed 10. Suffocating Sight Music & lyrics by Matt Heafy, Corey Beaulieu, Paolo Gregoletto and Travis Smith
I am but a farce a satire of stability
Insecurity is an uphill struggle it's me versus the world The shore still starves For another novel of my shipwrecked being Tied up dried alive still breathing The sands of time from me are running out My hands shake in apprehension Of every action I'm guilty of playing the victim The shore still starves For another novel of my shipwrecked being Tied up dried alive still breathing The sands of time from me are running out Just like the embrace of arms that made you They'll surely destroy you It's time for your panic Then it kills and makes you manic Making its way inside, relax, it's alright Making its way inside, relax, it's alright Panic grips your frantic breathing I can't breathe, I can't breathe! Just like the embrace of arms that made you They'll surely destroy you 11. Departure Music & lyrics by Matt Heafy, Corey Beaulieu, Paolo Gregoletto and Travis Smith
This weight is so unbearable caving my lungs
All my life seems to be flashing in front of my eyes (in front of my eyes) Run away from all the pain All the pain in life Run away! Run away! From the pain! Of life! Ways of devotion turn to obsession, open your eyes (open Your eyes) I want you to see what you've done to me crying out those eyes (crying out those eyes) Run away from all the pain All the pain in life Run away! Run away! From the pain! Of life! Bring my end! Bring my end! To an end! Distance yourself from the pain that covers me As I reach out for your hand to find there's nothing left for me Razors kiss the vein overdose for pain A 12 gauge cross kisses the forehead a savior in a shell Sever me from the fall Fuck the people Fuck the world Fuck it all Open my arms Bleed out the flood In crimson I begin to drown Sever me from the fall Fuck the people Fuck the world Fuck it all Open my arms Bleed out the flood In crimson I begin to drown Run away! Run away! From the pain! Of life! Bring my end! Bring my end! To an end! Distance yourself from the pain that covers me As I reach out for your hand to find there's nothing left for me 12. Declaration Music & lyrics by Matt Heafy, Corey Beaulieu, Paolo Gregoletto and Travis Smith
Freedom is all I have to say in defense
Of what the world's becoming A nation hell bent on choosing what's right And how we all should live our lives Fuck their ways it is time to break free Fuck their hate acceptance is what we need Equality for every race, sex, sexuality And every choice to live our lives And to you bigot cretin ignoramus Mind your own goddamn fucking business Fuck their ways it is time to break free Fuck their hate acceptance is what we need Holding onto what makes us whole Never letting their poison take control Freezing the air (that stands between all of us) Closing the eyes (bear witness to me) Feeling the fear (that stands between all of us) Closing the eyes (bear witness to me) I'll be right here Falling away Fighting on principle I'll die a thousand times Before I'll ever be them Fighting on principle I'll die a thousand times Before I'll ever be them Burn the scriptures bury the governing Free yourself Break the structures Declare freedom Freedom is all I have to say in defense Of what the world's becoming A nation hell bent on choosing what's right And how we all should live our lives Fuck their ways it is time to break free Fuck their hate acceptance is what we need Holding onto what makes us whole Never letting their poison take control Freezing the air (that stands between all of us) Closing the eyes (bear witness to me) Feeling the fear (that stands between all of us) Closing the eyes (bear witness to me) 14. Washing Away Me In The Tides
Disgusted with what I see
So many pieces left of you and me Glass falls like rain I'll crucify you for this pain (for this pain) Tonight I leave this town In love I'd burn it all down (To the ground) you're nothing to me (To the ground) you're fucking killing me Abandon all hope washing away me in the tides Unclenching the fists made round my neck accepting the end Longing to see your face So my hand can form into a mace Everything smells of you Even the gasoline that covers you Tonight I leave this town In love I'd burn it all down (To the ground) you're nothing to me (To the ground) you're fucking killing me Abandon all hope washing away me in the tides Unclenching the fists made round my neck accepting the end Everything smells of you Even the gasoline that covers you Tonight I leave this town In love I'd burn it all down (To the ground) you're nothing to me (To the ground) you're fucking killing me Abandon all hope washing away me in the tides Unclenching the fists made round my neck accepting the end |
