Sing now seraph, find the calm within your soul
Bring us closer to the flame that guides us home 02. Not I
So now you're suffering the fallacy of what you said
When you uncover the depression from where you've tread Breathe over the glass you wrote on Swallow all that you waste your throat on You wear the mark and wave the banner they made with sin Revealing every single lie that you've been breeding within Wash over the skin you've broken Think over the tone you spoke in So lost in your affliction / addiction The solemn comfort of your grave If you close your eyes the light can't take it away Not I - I won't conform to what I see in you Not I - I won't surrender what I am Not I - And even if it was a part of me Not I - I'll never be that way again The blind will follow on the path that you created in vain No guiding light, but just the shadow of the dead will remain Dig open the pain you're hiding Give your hand to the faith you're fighting The void you suffer is a curse forever bleeding inside Now you embrace the fatal sickness you should despise Remember the day you lost that Where is the shame that will bring your soul back So lost in your affliction / addiction The solemn comfort of your grave If you close your eyes the light can't take it away Not I - I won't conform to what I see in you Not I - I won't surrender what I am Not I - And even if it was a part of me Not I - I'll never be that way again Reach back behind your pride And pull the thorn from the burning pain in your side Sing me a new song A broken song of redemption and regret Sing me a new song And beg for all the mercy you can get Not I - I won't conform to what I see in you Not I - I won't surrender what I am Not I - And even if it was a part of me Not I - I'll never be that way again 03. Undying
Ever since the day that I was made I've been deciding the end
And I was made of wood and stone and won't diminish or bend So when the heavy hand of death is here to take me away I'll be the solid grip of time, forever holding my stay Nobody ever made a force that took a beating like me I call the earth and every scum to come and try to fight me Cause when I made the choice to live beyond the dirt that we tread I felt the curse of mortal limit fall before it was said When this season ends One final heart-break And blinding lights will guide our way Free us our blind state They will call us by our name Undying Tearing through these days I find The tolerance to strive and push on I know what lies beyond this life for me is already won No one can take away the blood that covers over my fall Without the blood of perfect life I know I'm nothing at all So now I reign forever hallowed in eternity's hand No man can shake me from the everlasting ground that I stand When this season ends One final heart-break And blinding lights will guide our way Free us our blind state They will call us by our name Undying We are the ones who will still remain when all is laid to waste We are the ones who, when angels cry, will see them face to face We are the ones One final heart-break And blinding lights will guide our way Free us our blind state They will call us by our name Undying 04. Relentless Intolerance
These eyes, they will gaze and reflect
And gauge every thought I reject No sway of stance in changing times Just a narrow mind commanding respect We stand on the words of the wise And languish every call to despise We know the hollow wound of their lies No reformed edition Never losing vision Now into forever Only getting better Ways of now, spiral down How much more we allow Keeping sight of the vow we made Holding fast to the hope So when we stand in the line of wrath The true and righteous will know The foundation that we used to uphold Now regarded as the madness of old Every alteration made to the standard of truth Is a nail in the coffin we hold We embody everything they despise Because they see us through degenerated eyes So when they cast you down as intolerant filth Stand firm, never bow to the lies No reformed edition Never losing vision Now into forever Only getting better Ways of now, spiral down How much more we allow Keeping sight of the vow we made Holding fast to the hope So when we stand in the line of wrath The true and righteous will know See the scorn inside my eyes Keeping sight of the vow we made Holding fast to the hope So when we stand in the line of wrath The true and righteous will know 05. Deteriorate
Time has had it's way with me.
My broken tired hands cant build a thing. The wires that have held me still embedded now in flesh to find my will. The idle of my days is won, the empty I have fed has made me numb, Despite what you will find in me. The failures of my past just swirl beneath. I need a heart that carries on through the pain When the walls start collapsing again. Give me a soul that never ceases to follow, Despite the infection within Our careless feet leaving trails Neverminding the fragile dirt we all end in. Our careless feet leaving trails Neverminding the fragile dirt we all end in. This is where I find my fall the cares that held me alive don't work at all. And every step away from here is closer to the plague I hold so dear. I need a heart that carries on through the pain, When the walls start collapsing again. Give me a soul that never ceases to follow despite the infection within Awaiting my end breathing in the day that finds me new. Redemption begins bleeding out the flaws in place of you. Awaiting my end breathing in the day that finds me new. Redemption begins Redemption Begins. Our careless feet leaving trails Neverminding the fragile dirt we all end in. Our careless feet leaving trails Neverminding the fragile dirt we all end in. 06. The Soldier's Song
Through the clouds of fallen ash,
A lonely mother's cry Among the fields of broken glass The loyal few will arise Faith now regained Finding strength within the void, A raging fire ignites A spark of ever-burning power And conviction to fight Pride be your name They will spit upon the honour that You guard with your life And run to hide in selfish fear When threat of death is in sight Lay down your shame Armed with resistance and blind to the cost The say your purpose is mindless and lost But we don't adhere to the slander they spill We mourn with your losses and stand by your will These tears we spill They haunt us still The cries of the weak lie quiet in sleep Beneath our feet We are the sons of holy wrath, A shining light in the dark The ones who walk amongst despair, No sign of fear in our hearts Stand in death's way Shut out the voice of mindlessness, Open your eyes to the truth Believe the words that stand the test And not the slurs of the youth You're not what they say Armed with resistance and blind to the cost The say your purpose is mindless and lost But we don't adhere to the slander they spill We mourn with your losses and stand by your will These tears we spill They haunt us still The cries of the weak lie quiet in sleep Beneath our feet Turn over the tables and watch them run You'll be the weapon they can't outgun These tears we spill They haunt us still The cries of the weak lie quiet in sleep Beneath our feet 07. Fire To My Soul
We flow with bitter words that file sharp our teeth
And we bite off our own tongues We trample any trace of your divinity's hope And we sacrifice our young With our eyes sewn shut now the light can't shine Oh, we'll never wake from dead And when you beg for us to open up and let you in Then we'll cut you up instead You promised you'd give us your word We never believed it was true And we pretend that we never heard Cause we still don't believe in you I heard you calling, setting fire to my soul Is this the voice we die for? We die for life We built a wall to keep you out Ignoring every word And we saw your face behind our thoughts Apathetic to what we'd heard You promised you'd give us your word We never believed it was true And we pretend that we never heard Cause we still don't believe in you I heard you calling, setting fire to my soul Is this the voice we die for? We die for life Why does it falter? We built it all ourselves Why does it hurt so bad, forsaking all this help? Why are we choking on pills designed to heal? We threw our hearts away cause we're too afraid to feel I heard you calling, setting fire to my soul Is this the voice we die for? We die for life 08. One Thousand Apologies
There you stood in disbelief,
Trying all you could to see through these lies And every word that I could breathe, Would you find more inclined to leave, But I tried, I tried And knowing what I've done to you, With every thought you suffer through My heart as black as evil can And everything I could have been, Erased by what I wanted then I couldn't think a lesser man All the delicate ways That I deepened our graves My apology pales Oh, the pain in your eyes My regrets have never known such sorrow Oh, the shame that you hide Resolutions are the same tomorrow So now I reap what I have sewn, And any rapture I had shown has bled dry And I walked the streets alone, Accepting pain I'd never known, As you died, you died Then I hurt myself to see it too, To feel the knife I put in you My heart as broken as my ways I never should've let it pass, This fall was never meant to last The reason gone and damage stays All the delicate ways That I deepened our graves My apology pales Oh, the pain in your eyes My regrets have never known such sorrow Oh, the shame that you hide Resolutions are the same tomorrow [4x] Count the cost of your vile means Solace comes to less All the delicate ways That I deepened our graves My apology pales Oh, the pain in your eyes My regrets have never known such sorrow Oh, the shame that you hide Resolutions are the same tomorrow Oh, the pain in your eyes (the delicate ways) My regrets have never known such sorrow (I deepened our graves) Oh, the shame that you hide (the delicate ways) Resolutions are the same tomorrow (I deepened our graves) Deepened our graves 09. The Sience Of Lies
Bow down before the god of cash
The philosophy of modern man is leaking fast No foundation for the frame by which you set your mind Just a legacy of fiction for the feeble to find Desperation breeding faith unto a pitiful lie "Give us your money and we'll open up our gullible eyes" No redemption, not a reason, but a symbol of why This digression of surrender is the science of lies Believe the sacred blasphemy They feed That hollow voice inside of your head Receive the fleeting fallacy They breathe Trace every step from where you were led Look back and tell yourself what they said (Now flee) And now you feel it pulling down How can you buy into a faith that hasn't permanent ground? Give me blood-soaked, sacrificial worth Not the artificial product of a fraudulent birth Give me selfless, consecrated reprise Not a worthless contribution to the science of lies Believe the sacred blasphemy They feed That hollow voice inside of your head Receive the fleeting fallacy They breathe Trace every step from where you were led Look back and tell yourself what they said (Now flee) Feel it pulling down Believe the sacred blasphemy They feed That hollow voice inside of your head Receive the fleeting fallacy They breathe Trace every step from where you were led Look back and tell yourself what they said (Now flee) 10. Snap Your Fingers, Snap Your Neck Music & lyrics by Theodore B. Parsons and Thomas Michael Victor
Nothing breeds more contempt for this world
Than memories now formed Every moment a new seed Is grown to no reason, the trouble unfolds For the trials of today I'm no jury, really don't care how you feel The pleasant notion of miraculous change Drifts into multiple jeers You want the good life You break your back You snap your fingers, you snap your neck Seconds drip through my hands Washed of moments unborn All the spaces between bleed A tribute to a sacrament never exposed A message to the forces, I've no pity, don't know how thankful to feel Expectations of my daily bread Gives me the hunger to steal You want the good life You break your back You snap your fingers, you snap your neck 11. Ribcage
All hail the newborn sin
Reject the boundaries and soak the cancer in Hope kills the filth you crave So bleed the truth out and fall into that grave Uphold the brand new skin Accept the failure, refuse to rise above Break through the ribcage And tear the heart out from everyone that you love Over and over again We'll bury the shame underneath the lies we breathe Over and over again We'll carry the blame for the hell that we can't leave Show me - The path that leads into your mind Release - The thoughts you lock so deep inside Show me - I'm the one who knew this pain Release - Before you fall into this again Behold the loyal slave His rotting shell now a tomb where death can play See now his pride caves in Alone he fights to stop this dark decay Feed, feed the lust you need And fainter grows each plea from skies above Break through the ribcage And tear the heart out from everyone that you love Over and over again We'll bury the shame underneath the lies we breathe Over and over again We'll carry the blame for the hell that we can't leave Show me - The path that leads into your mind Release - The thoughts you lock so deep inside Show me - I'm the one who knew this pain Release - Before you fall into this again Building a life out of all that you hate We see through the front that you tried to create The world you had hoped for was only a fake And just like the maggots that made you this way I know 12. The Tide Began To Rise
I don't belong here
I never saw this on the path I walk The blood-stained walls, the lines of chalk on the floor It's getting so hard I never saw the backlash when the tide began to rise I can't remember The way it was when everything felt right My mouth held shut and eyes sealed tight with control So I remember on the inside... I found a dark, infernal place I don't want to face anymore Somehow, I won't stop feeding the pain My heart's just the same as before I found a dark, infernal place that I don't want to face anymore.... ..somehow.. So now I'm stuck here Between the guilty and the insincere The words I spoke have left here all alone I should have known this Never saw the backlash when the tide began to rise. I wish it all gone...... I could've burned it when I had that choice And now I'd die to kill this noise in my head So I remember on the inside... I found a dark, infernal place I don't want to face anymore Somehow, I won't stop feeding the pain My heart's just the same as before I found a dark, infernal place that I don't want to face anymore.... ..somehow.. So I remember on the inside, the inside........ If this is all the love my spirit can give Just take it back tonight There is not a reason more to live... |
