01. Day Of The Dead


Survival is so overrated
All you get is a pain in the neck
I think I'd rather succumb to a bite or a scratch
Lay back, let the red do the rest

Just gimme your heart
And I'll trade you my soul
Just gimme those eyes
And I'll show you the world

I, I, I, I wanna make you
I wanna make you mine
I crave you
But I fucking hate you too
Day of the Dead
Bang your head
You're so damn pretty
I could eat your smile
I wanna break you
I wanna make you mine
Make you mine, yeah

Now comfortably numb I'm free
Free from you, free from this
In fact this life would be close to ecstasy
If I didn't want you inside of me

Just gimme your heart
And I'll trade you my soul
Just gimme those eyes
And I'll show you the world

I, I, I, I wanna make you
I wanna make you mine
I crave you
But I fucking hate you too
Day of the Dead
Bang your head
You're so damn pretty
I could eat your smile
I wanna break you
I wanna make you mine
Make you mine

Full-blown miracle
Made to feel minuscule
With this burden that we bare
Fuck it all, we don't care

Full-blown miracle
Made to feel minuscule
With this burden that we bare
Fuck it all, we don't care

Full-blown miracle
Made to feel minuscule
With this burden that we bare
Fuck it all, we don't care

Full-blown miracle
Made to feel minuscule
With this burden that we bare
Fuck it all, we don't care

I, I, I, I wanna make you
I wanna make you mine
I crave you
But I fucking hate you too
Day of the Dead
Bang your head
You're so damn pretty
I could eat your smile
I wanna break you
I wanna make you mine
Make you mine

02. Black Hole Halo


Whoa

Together with desolation
To fall deep in love with a bullet
In battle with your condition
A burden so condemned you revere it

So what is wrong with ordinary?
It's all you really need but
This obsession with oblivion
Is gonna take you down with me

Halo, halo
Just how low can you go?
The walls are caving in and all
That's left is black holes

Halo, halo
So keep holding on
To that grudge you chose
Let the chaos in and see
What happens to your soul

We lock the aftermath in a cage
Just to see how much you can take
I got a few questions for God
Like: "Tell me what is life?"

Awaken me
Awaken me

Too long I've been trapped inside these walls
A recluse from the world
Damnation since the day that I was born

Halo, halo
Just how low can you go?
The walls are caving in and all
That's left is black holes

Halo, halo
So keep holding on
To that grudge you chose
Let the chaos in and see
What happens to your soul

I won't go peacefully hand in hand
Through the Promised Land
Just to be double-crossed
I know you think I was out to get you
Steal your power, your creation

I spit it in your face
You are my enemy
And nothing you say can change
I won't apologize for the envy
I'll never stop being all that I can be

(How low can you go?)

Halo, halo
Just how low can you go?
The walls are caving in and all
That's left is black holes

Halo, halo
So keep holding on
To that grudge you chose
Let the chaos in and see
What happens to your soul

03. Long Road Home


There's something wrong
Deep in this travesty
Beneath the clouds
The sphere revolves

Pierce the veil and bring me some of that clarity
Imagine my life and death in high-resolution
What done is done
There's no turning back
Regret is for the weak and wicked
And we are so much more than this

With snakes at my feet
And vultures up above
When the rain comes down
Who gives a flying fuck?
Despair is my name
And I wear it like a cross
I still believe my god is lost

I know sometimes it feels like
You're never ever gonna be the same again
With shadows creeping up around you
They're creeping up on you
Keep standing tall and state your name
There's no such thing left as fate
Only what you create
I'm the creator

Galvanized, I sever the cord that's strangling
I've been looking for a way for so long
I think I've gone insane

This was not part of the mission
Not part of the plan
I read the conditions but sometimes
Whoa, chaos is the only way

With snakes at my feet
And vultures up above
When the rain comes down
Who gives a flying fuck?

I know sometimes it feels like
You're never ever gonna be the same again
With shadows creeping up around you
They're creeping up on you
Keep standing tall and state your name
There's no such thing left as fate
Only what you create
I'm the creator

I know sometimes it feels like
You're never ever gonna be the same again
With shadows creeping up around you
They're creeping up on you
Keep standing tall and state your name
There's no such thing left as fate
Only what you create
I'm the creator

Keep grinding
(Keep grinding)
That axe on the stone
You'll find it
(You'll find it)
That long road home

Keep grinding
(Keep grinding)
That axe on the stone
You'll find it
(You'll find it)
That long road home

With snakes at my feet
And vultures up above
When the rain comes down
Who gives a flying fuck?
Despair is my name
And I wear it like a cross
I still believe my god is lost

I know sometimes it feels like
You're never ever gonna be the same again
With shadows creeping up around you
They're creeping up on you
Keep standing tall and state your name
There's no such thing left as fate
Only what you create
I'm the creator

I know sometimes it feels like
You're never ever gonna be the same again
With shadows creeping up around you
They're creeping up on you
Keep standing tall and state your name
There's no such thing left as fate
Only what you create
I'm the creator

04. My Revenge


This decision will be your final breath

I tried to find a distraction
To take my mind off how much I wanna find you
Reel you in with a face that you know
While I write this deception

I'd love to say it's only gonna equal
That which you did to me
But the truth is my grudge has manifested
Turned into something I don't even recognize

But one thing I know
Is that when I find you
It's gonna hurt
It's gonna hurt

But one thing I know
Is that when I find you
It's gonna hurt
My God, this will hurt

And all the people that you love
Are in as much trouble as you are

This is not a threat
This is not a threat
This is the one and only
Chance you will ever get
To make it up to me
Before I let it out
The demon called Revenge
My revenge

Wake up and smell the roses
They're on your grave
Use this hindsight to make peace
With all the mistakes that you've made

Self-mutilation
You'd sever your own arm to avoid a handshake
Well, this is now
No turning 'round

"I know the water that flows between our bridge is red
But this could be a cleansing or a drowning
Pretend to contemplate to feed your own denial
But make no mistake
This next decision will be your final breath
This next decision will be your final breath"

This is not a threat
This is not a threat
This is the one and only
Chance you will ever get
To make it up to me
Before I let it out
The demon called Revenge
My revenge

But one thing I know
Is that when I find you
It's gonna hurt
It's gonna hurt

But one thing I know
Is that when I find you
It's gonna hurt
My God, this will hurt

And all the people that you love
Are in as much trouble as you are

This is not a threat
This is not a threat
This is the one and only
Chance you will ever get
To make it up to me
Before I let it out
The demon called Revenge
My revenge
My revenge
My revenge
My revenge
My revenge

05. Before You Finally Break

Oh

So you finally let the Kraken out
To take back what's yours
But it's only feeding your alienation
Better fetch your scalpel, Dexter
'Cause we're changing faces now
Remember the sights
Remember the nightmares

Guess you never found your path
Guess you never found your answers
Guess you never found yourself
Stuck in the wake of a dream
Don't know how much more you can take
Before you finally break
Before you lose yourself in this world

I wanted to watch you crawl (crawl)
I wanted to watch you fall (fall)
But guess it will suffice me
To see you on your knees

Dead to the light and getting darker
Don't you want to follow me now?
First in the line of fire, I am
So back you lies with action, fucker
But that's alright, that's okay
They didn't believe you anyway

Guess you never found your path
Guess you never found your answers
Guess you never found yourself
Stuck in the wake of a dream
Don't know how much more you can take
Before you finally break
Before you lose yourself in this world

Better take a look under the lens
I see your surface blister
Molecules begin to fray
This mutation was no accident
You got what you deserve
Karma comes in many forms

I'm sorry, I know I shouldn't smile
But I deserve to see this
I'm sorry, I know I shouldn't laugh
But I have waited so long for this moment

Guess you never found your path
Guess you never found your answers
Guess you never found yourself
Stuck in the wake of a dream
Don't know how much more you can take
Before you finally break
Before you lose yourself in this world

06. Catching Fire


The sins have all been released
Am I a sinner now?
I turn the light on
But it's still dark

So just give me a sign
To keep good in my life
I turn the light on
But I can't see shit

Don't try to find me here
Just go, I crossed a fine line
No peace in the Eden fire
Follow temptation

My soul caught a glimpse of
What it's like to be immortal
And now I just want it back
More than you'll ever know
More than you'll ever know

I caught fire following your footsteps
You can't save me, bury the ashes
I caught fire following your footsteps
You can't save me
You can't save me now

It's not the end of the road
Or the start of it all
It's just a plane
On which we exist

And as we constantly fade
Degraded by the machine
We gave away
The soul of human-being

Don't try to find me here
Just go, I crossed a fine line
No peace in the Eden fire
Follow temptation

My soul caught a glimpse of
What it's like to be immortal
And now I just want it back
More than you'll ever know
More than you'll ever know

I caught fire following your footsteps
You can't save me, bury the ashes
I caught fire following your footsteps
You can't save me
You can't save me

I caught fire following your footsteps
You can't save me, bury the ashes
I caught fire following your footsteps
You can't save me
You can't save me now

I caught fire following your footsteps
You can't save me, bury the ashes
I caught fire following your footsteps
You can't save me
You can't save me now

I caught fire following your footsteps
You can't save me, bury the ashes
I caught fire following your footsteps
You can't save me
You can't save me

07. Unbreakable


The leader
Who tries to hide
The fear
When war is in sight

A prophet
Those angel eyes
A warrior
Who fights for what is rightfully ours
(I don't want to die)

They won't take us alive
We're fighting to survive
But we're running out of time
So wake up, show me your eyes
Break the chains that hold you
Make it out alive

Never give up
Never give up
Never give up, no

Monster
Throw stones at me
Deceiver
So passively you're haunting

Dig in
And paralyze me
The martyr
Breathes hell in skies surrounding

They won't take us alive
We're fighting to survive
But we're running out of time
So wake up, show me your eyes
Break the chains that hold you
Make it out alive

Never give up
Never give up
Never give up
Never give up
Never give up
Never give up
Never give up
Never give up
Never give up
Never give up
Never give up
Never give up

Seeker
On the edge
Athena
Reward us for all we've bled

They won't take us alive
We're fighting to survive
But we're running out of time
So wake up, show me your eyes
Break the chains that hold you
Make it out alive

They won't take us alive
(Never give up on me)
(Never give up on you)
(Unbreakable, unchangeable)
We're fighting to survive
(You've gotta make it through this)
(Steadfast to the bone)
But we're running out of time
(I can't do this on my own)
(I'll never give up, never give up)
(Never give up on you)
So wake up, show me your eyes
(Never give up on me)
(Never give up on you)
(Unbreakable, unchangeable)
Break the chains that hold you
(You've gotta make it through this)
(Steadfast to the bone)
Make it out alive
(I can't do this on my own)
(I'll never give up, never give up)
(Never give up on you)

08. It Takes Me


(Oh)

Devil gave a taste of fame
I drank that bottle dry
A vicious indignation
Cut me down in my prime

I'm dying for salvation
Bring me back to life
Walking through the underworld
Bring me back to life

Burst into flames
Like a vampire in the sun
Got tunnel vision
Like a werewolf on the hunt
Well, I'm resurrected
The undead rising up
The curse is lifted
Or has it just begun?

It takes me
It breaks me
I'm trying hard to make it
It's too late
It's over
Go fetch the noose, I'm ready

(Go fetch the noose, I'm ready)
(Go fetch the noose, I'm ready)

Trying to awake
From a two-day-waste-of-time
The thing is I can't remember
Why I'm on the floor

Blood-drunk, I gotta break
But I'm already in pieces
But what doesn't kill us
They say makes us stronger

It takes me
It breaks me
I'm trying hard to make it
It's too late
It's over
Go fetch the noose, I'm ready

Kill me (kill me)
I don't like what I've become
Seething (seething)
There's maggots in my lungs

(It takes me)
(It breaks me)
(I'm trying hard to make it)
(It's too late)
(It's over)
(Go fetch the noose, I'm ready)

It takes me
It breaks me
I'm trying hard to make it
It's too late
It's over
Go fetch the noose, I'm ready

It takes me
(It takes me)
It breaks me
(It breaks me)
I'm trying hard to make it
It's too late
(It's too late)
It's over
(It's over)
Go fetch the noose, I'm ready

09. See What I See


Line 'em up, the traitors that have questioned my blood
Loyalty is in my veins, it's thicker than mud
So before I pull the trigger I'm gonna give you the chance
To point your fucking finger at the ones that deserve it

I know it might have seemed like we left you for dead
Like I was never coming back but that was all in your head
See, at the time we were suffering from a knife to the back
But no handicap is gonna keep us from our family

This goes out to steadfast
The loyal
And the true Synners of the world

Finally, finally
Can you see what I see?
I'm not asking for much
Just believe in me
I wanted to come home
But there were too many bones
That needed burying
Before I let you know
Yeah

I'm sorry that I let the devil get in my lungs
But I would never let him hurt a hair on the ones that I love
You could argue that I left it all to the last minute
But you gotta admit, this is hell of a finish

Just when you thought that this could only get worse
Here comes the cavalry with the big guns
So any famous last words from the infamous liars?
Oh, yeah, that's right, you spent it all on friendly fire

Finally, finally
Can you see what I see?
I'm not asking for much
Just believe in me
I wanted to come home
But there were too many bones
That needed burying
Before I let you know

Finally, finally
Can you see what I see?
I'm not asking for much
Just believe in me
I wanted to come home
But there were too many bones
That needed burying
Before I let you know

Just believe in me, in me
Just believe in me, in me

Finally, finally
Can you see what I see?
I'm not asking for much
Just believe in me
I wanted to come home
But there were too many bones
That needed burying
Before I let you know

10. So Addicted


I'm a stalker on the wire
A pawn to your queen
I was bred for taking fire
But you're abusing me

All tied up, contortionist effigy
Nothing more than a pill to swallow
Beautiful eyes, soul and mind
But you keep them locked in a box

Six feet from where we're standing now
I fell in love for the first time
But I didn't know she was a viper
Angel, betrayer, demon, whore

Viper (viper)
Angel (angel)
Betrayer (betrayer)

Your sun
In my hands
Your words
In my mouth

Your sun
In my hands
Your words
In my mouth

How can you be the air beneath my wings
And still be the flood that drowns my dreams?
I've got to admit, I'm so addicted
I would crawl through razors just in case
There was a chance to see your face
I make myself sick, I'm so addicted

(I'm so addicted)
(I'm so addicted)

It's a sin to keep on digging
When you've already reached the other side
This innocence, no longer an excuse
That can hold the weight of your lies

Defeated, I plead the fifth
For you to realize
That I'm bleeding, tortured, itching, screaming
Just show a little compassion for your crimes

Viper (viper)
Angel (angel)
Betrayer (betrayer)

How can you be the air beneath my wings
And still be the flood that drowns my dreams?
I've got to admit, I'm so addicted
I would crawl through razors just in case
There was a chance to see your face
I make myself sick, I'm so addicted

It's never enough
(It's never enough)
It's never enough
(It's never enough)
It's never enough
To stop the craving

It's never enough
(It's never enough)
It's never enough
(It's never enough)
It's never enough
To stop the craving

Your sun
In my hands
Your words
In my mouth

How can you be the air beneath my wings
And still be the flood that drowns my dreams?
I've got to admit, I'm so addicted
I would crawl through razors just in case
There was a chance to see your face
I make myself sick, I'm so addicted

How can you be the air beneath my wings
And still be the flood that drowns my dreams?
I've got to admit, I'm so addicted
I would crawl through razors just in case
There was a chance to see your face
I make myself sick, I'm so addicted

I'm so addicted
(How can you be the air beneath my wings)
I'm so addicted
(And still be the flood that drowns my dreams?)
I'm so addicted
(I would crawl through razors just in case)
I'm so addicted
(There was a chance to see your face)
I'm so addicted
(How can you be the air beneath my wings)
I'm so addicted
(And still be the flood that drowns my dreams?)
I'm so addicted

11. The Flame That Changed The World


What happened to us?
We sure as hell haven't been ourselves
And the bitter times
Are coming again (I can feel it)

How can my past still steal all control?
This ends today
Get a grip, motherfucker
You're slipping away

Got to turn this around
Got to turn
Rewrite your self-image
Be reborn

Got to turn this around
Got to turn
Deconstruct, rebuild
Be reborn

We'll find a way, mark my words
Light a fire that will save us all
'Cause I'm nothing without you
I'm cold and dead without you
You're the flame that changed the world
You changed the world

Know how to suffer
I learned how to die
But the thing I really fear most
Is running out of time
'Fore the onset of the winter
Freeze the sun right out the sky
Just skeletons walking around
To the deadly tune
Of an unbreakable, infallible curse

Abolition of the sins of gods
Mere mortals on their shoulders
Cutting holes in the earth

We'll find a way, mark my words
Light a fire (light a fire) that will save us all
'Cause I'm nothing without you
I'm cold and dead without you
You're the flame that changed the world

We'll find a way, mark my words
Light a fire (light a fire) that will save us all
'Cause I'm nothing without you
I'm cold and dead without you
You're the flame that changed the world
You changed the world

Abstained
Laying broken
Incomplete
Till I'm with you again

Abstained
Laying broken
Incomplete
Till I'm with you again
Till I'm with you

(I'm cold and dead without you)

We'll find a way, mark my words
Light a fire (light a fire) that will save us all
'Cause I'm nothing without you
I'm cold and dead without you
You're the flame that changed the world

We'll find a way, mark my words
Light a fire (light a fire) that will save us all
'Cause I'm nothing without you
I'm cold and dead without you
You're the flame that changed the world

We'll find a way, mark my words
(Light a fire) we'll find a way that will save us all
(Light a fire) 'cause I'm nothing without you
I'm cold and dead without you
(Light a fire) you're the flame that changed the world

12. Diabolical Work Of Art


Throughout this industry
I see a lot of cunts
Practicing hypocrisy
Without a thought for anything

But the game, it must be played
Compromises must be made
Sacrifice integrity
Just to hit the magazines

Collapsing heaven
With your fingertips
Summon infection
With just a smile

Take off the mask
Let them see your scars
You diabolical work of art
Take off your clothes
Let them touch your heart
You diabolical work of art

Gotta hand it to you, players
It takes a lot to sell your soul
Lie through your teeth in the dentist chair
While they rip those fuckers out

But at least you've got a name
Something to carve your way
But use it wisely
Yeah, you made some powerful enemies

Who cannot wait to see you fail
Pick your carcass to the bone
The vultures are all diabolical
They've played the game
They want your throne
They want your throne

Take off the mask
Let them see your scars
You diabolical work of art
Take off your clothes
Let them touch your heart
You diabolical work of art

So is your stomach feeling fuller
Now you've stolen all the love?
And tell me, are your pupils still dilated
Since you stole my sun?

You help them
The demons scratching at the walls in my head
You restrain them
The angels trying to bring me back from the dead

You help them
The demons scratching at the walls in my head
You restrain them
The angels trying to bring me back from the dead

You help them
The demons scratching at the walls in my head
You restrain them
The angels trying to bring me back from the dead

(You help them) I've had enough
(You help them) I've had enough
(You help them) I've had enough
(You help them) I've had enough

13. What We Shared


Round one, we pick you up at dawn
Put your shit in the back of the car
Get settled in (we ain't coming back)
Gonna spend this whole life on the road, yeah

Imagine this, imagine this
A party every night
A different town, a different city
But a thousand ways to die

But surely you've got some regrets?
All you've sacrificed
How you've lived your life
Waking up without a home
No family ties
No

After all of this time I can't believe
You don't know shit about me
Or a thing about what we had
And after all of this pain I thought you'd learned
Something about me
Something about what we shared

Round two, lose yourself
You're not bound by this mortal coil
A pinnacle of pretension
A self-righteous scapegoat for the masses

Imagine this, imagine this
Different girl every night
You can't handle this, you can't handle this
So don't you even try
No

After all of this time I can't believe
You don't know shit about me
Or a thing about what we had
And after all of this pain I thought you'd learned
Something about me
Something about what we shared

Get out, get out
Because we're coming to get you
Get out, get out
While there's still some fucking time
Get out, get out
While you still can breathe
While you're still alive
While you can survive

After all of this time I can't believe
You don't know shit about me
Or a thing about what we had
After all of this pain I thought you'd learned
Something about me
Something about what we shared

After all of this time I can't believe
You don't know shit about me
Or a thing about what we had
And after all of this pain I thought you'd learned
Something about me
Something about what we shared

(What we shared)
You don't know shit about me
Or a thing about what we had
And after all of this pain I thought you'd learned
Something about me
Something about what we shared

Get out, get out
(What we shared)
Get out, get out
(What we shared)
Get out, get out
While you still can breathe
While you're still alive
While you can survive

14. Another Soldier Down



Baby, it won't be long
Before we mend the tide
The greatest gift I ever knew
Was jealous of your lies

Good job I'm bulletproof
That knife in the back
Do you still think you're steadfast?
Did you think I'd forget
About the monastery created out of spines?

That you stole from men
Greater than your shame
Well, that's all on you
That's all on you

Another soldier down
Another body hits the ground
Call the medic
Let's patch you up, get you back into battle
Do you remember what it's like
To lay your life out on the line?
Well, this is it
Protect the fortress, it's rightfully ours

Come back, a new plan of attack
I guarantee it's gonna be as useful as
A knife at a gunfight
A torch in the daylight
Either way, accept you're going down

Expose your wounds
Exposing truth

Another soldier down
Another body hits the ground
Call the medic
Let's patch you up, get you back into battle
Do you remember what it's like
To lay your life out on the line?
Well, this is it
Protect the fortress, it's rightfully

(Loyalty)
To us it's more than a word
(Loyalty)
You either got it or thrown it away
(Loyalty)
So don't just be another soldier down
This is a battleground

(Loyalty)
To us it's more than a word
(Loyalty)
You either got it or thrown it away
(Loyalty)
So don't just be another soldier
Be another soldier
Be another soldier down

(Another soldier down)
(Another body hits the ground)
(Do you remember what it's like)
(To lay your life out on the line?)

Another soldier down
Another body hits the ground
Call the medic
Let's patch you up, get you back into battle
Do you remember what it's like
To lay your life out on the line?
Well this is it
Protect the fortress, it's rightfully ours

Another soldier down
Another body hits the ground
Call the medic
Let's patch you up, get you back into battle
Do you remember what it's like
To lay your life out on the line?
Well this is it
Protect the fortress, it's rightfully ours
