Worship decay
And pray the light to come Only echoes answering This is the dawn Of the new night Distorted view of love Defenseless I'm in front of the one Who should shelter me Words of comfort Breathe emptiness Degradation No light The only thing that's real for me Denied No love, no love The second I cave in And make a sound The last remaining light dies True affection now replaced We're drained of our colors Worship the hollow inside In the absence of light Broken by the hands that feed In the absence of light Choked by the hands that feed Awake in my dreams Too scared to breathe Darkness drawing near Swallowing everything Never felt such fear No light The only thing that's real for me Denied No love, no love The second I cave in And make a sound The last remaining light dies True affection now replaced We're drained of our colors Worship the hollow inside The second I cave in And make a sound The last remaining light dies (Remaining light dies) True affection now replaced We're drained of our colors Worship the hollow inside (The hollow inside) The second I cave in (The second I cave in) The last remaining light dies 02. Flatline
I'm dying to know
Will you let go? Consuming reason slowly My voice has dried out Cannot speak out (Speak out) The words get stuck in my throat Emotional flatline Do not know the right words I might as well Wave goodbye today, embrace it Save a prayer Vows of future have no meaning, so Wave goodbye and let it die here Apathetic liar Vows of future have no meaning For a brief moment I saw a thin light Worship it as it fades out The sun I know is green But it's not for me So please stay out of my dreams Wave goodbye today, embrace it Save a prayer Vows of future have no meaning, so Wave goodbye and let it die here Apathetic liar Vows of future have no meaning It's not just you I was there, too It's not just you I was there, too Emotional flatline Do not know the right words Wave goodbye today, embrace it Save a prayer Vows of future have no meaning, so Wave goodbye and let it die here Apathetic liar Vows of future have no meaning It's not just you It's not just you 03. The Heretic Pulse
Here stands another
Example of a failure in progress And though the blood on my hands Has been washed away I am not clean In the temple of The mourning star The pulse will guide us through The thickest vines The wait is soon over The calloused lump buried will be exhumed The pulse I once thought was gone Now beats in perfect Disharmony In the temple of The morning star The pulse will guide us through The thickest vines Underneath it all Thy will be done The weak heretic pulse Incarnated Death Casts shadows until I Pledge Allegiance to the dark Death Casts shadows until I Pledge Allegiance to the dark Death Casts shadows until I Pledge Allegiance to the dark Death Casts shadows until I Pledge Allegiance to the dark In the temple of The mourning star The pulse will guide us through The thickest vines Underneath it all Thy will be done The weak heretic pulse Incarnated 04. Vermin
How long
Until the weak light Will come? I can hear them Crawling If the sun would reappear It could slowly Slowly make Them disappear Devour My flesh Devour They come at night and even Though I am wake Close my eyes, pretend I'm dead They come at night, consuming Try to pass over Close my eyes, pretend I'm not there I know them by name But if I ever get tempted To speak out and name them I will not then make it through Devour My flesh Devour At night Slowly eaten These wounds Kept wide open Till the night Departs their venom Inside this heart They come at night and even Though I am wake Close my eyes, pretend I'm dead They come at night, consuming Try to pass over Close my eyes, pretend I'm dead They come at night and even Though I am wake Close my eyes, pretend I'm not there I'm not there I'm not there I'm not there 05. The Divided
How come we're this remote
When we should feel the opposite? Nailed to the heart I am Counting the days in between Buried deep Somewhere beneath There is A calloused heart Buried deep Somewhere beneath We belong To be that close will tear Us apart We've come a long way here Just to end up on our knees Nailed to the heart I am Afraid of the distance Somewhere beneath There is A calloused heart Buried deep Somewhere beneath We belong To be that close will tear Us apart Not sure what I'd say Inadequate me Oh, yeah Pieces of memories Like rusted Nails through the heart To lay Here and to inhale this Divided To lay Here and to inhale this Divided (To lay) To lay here And to inhale this Might just save (Divided) The divided (To lay) To lay here And to inhale this Might just save (Divided) The divided (To lay) To lay here And to inhale this Might just save The divided (To lay) To lay here And to inhale this Might just save The divided 06. Plaguewielder
What is left here today
Is not much so let's not celebrate At least your conscience is clean On this new day The sound of plague growing Is very familiar or so it seems An empty imitation of love Oh, the new day In shades of grey now You shouldn't leave Simply 'cause I couldn't bleed Now lick the debris to See just how damaged are we What is left here today Is not much so let's not celebrate At least your conscience is clean On this new day The burden will always remain When hope was never really here to stay And how damaged have this become The state we're in Is wearing thin now You shouldn't leave Simply 'cause I couldn't bleed Now lick the debris to See just how damaged are we The wounds we've made along the way (Over and over again) The wounds we've made along the way What is left here to say It's not much so let's not celebrate At least your conscience is clean The brand new day We're all depraved now You shouldn't leave Simply 'cause I couldn't bleed Now lick the debris to See just how damaged are we 07. Death Parade
I feel exhausted
And somehow It's all because of woe I am in love with This repentance It will pass soon, I hope The plans we made are completed We used to have light on us So when you come here With the everlasting death parade The day we're not far away From the shade of death parade I'm not prepared So twist the knife We're running on vitriol Below the surface I hold my breath Or is it your hands on throat? The plans we made are completed We used to have light on us So when you come here With the everlasting death parade The day we're not far away From the shade of death parade When you come here With the everlasting death parade The day we're not far away From the shade of death parade So when you come here Death parade The day we're not far away Of death parade 08. The Vessel
As the shadows grow
Taller Wading through emotions There, she caresses The act of despair, vile In waiting The resentment will follow Like the nausea Oh, well now it is just A matter Of when and how to share Thy loving embrace Mistaken, then accused True reason Could be found closer Than one might think There is nothing to be proud of As I walk unhallowed ground There is nothing to be proud of As we are what we are Doctrines of submission carved In these eager hearts There is the void to pull us under Now we walk unhallowed ground (As we die a bit more) As we die a bit more (Yes, we die a bit more) Yes, we die a bit more There is the void to pull us under 'Cause we are a bit more apart There is nothing to be proud of As I walk unhallowed ground There is nothing to be proud of As we are what we are There is nothing to be proud of There is nothing to be proud of As we are not sure what we've lost This barren soil Reflecting This barren soil What used to be Doctrines of submission carved In these eager hearts There is the void to pull us under Now we walk unhallowed ground (As we die a bit more) As we die a bit more (Yes, we die a bit more) Yes, we die a bit more There is the void to pull us under 'Cause we are a bit more apart As we die a bit more Yes, we die a bit more Ah, ah, ah, ah Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah-ah As we die a bit more Yes, we die a bit more Ah, ah, ah, ah Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah-ah 09. Obsidian
Hanging by a thread
Feel the tension rise The monoliths of lament Impervious To the point where Whatever the reason Explanations are heard Yet mistaken Worthless Revel in disillusionment I'd walk through fire Just to feel you The spit on my face is still warm Sweet reminder Disgusted by the frail Words of promise When every single attempt Is a failure Haunted by a threat Of abandonment To come to terms with it will Make the difference My days are filled with fear Enamored with your passion Hate Enamored with you Worthless Easily replaced Revel in disillusionment I'd walk through fire Just to feel you The spit on my face is still warm Sweet reminder Disgusted by the frail Words of promise When every single attempt (When every single attempt) Is a failure I'd walk through fire Just to feel you The spit on my face is still warm Sweet reminder Disgusted by the frail Words of promise When every single attempt (When every single attempt) When every single attempt Is a failure 10. Dead On Earth
We are
Futile with our compassion When the dead sing requiem Lips crack with every grin White smiles pretend We are dead on Earth The hunger will always remain And this is not a new beginning We are dead on Earth The hunger will always remain Not a new beginning Weeping For the very last time When the dead walk the Earth No words left unspoken No prayers now We are dead on Earth The hunger will always remain And this is not a new beginning We are dead on Earth The hunger will always remain Not a new beginning Well, I'm not running away Well, I'm not running away We are dead on Earth We used to love one another How will you decide? We are dead on Earth We used to love one another How will you decide? If this is evolution and we're All gonna die like this Then deliverance equals Annihilation and his never was If this is evolution and we're All gonna die like this Then deliverance equals Annihilation and his never was my world We are dead on Earth We are dead on Earth We are dead on Earth We are dead on Earth |
