War in every breath...

If I remember this day when the war is through
And all the fires that were leading to this
Then I'll be civil in the corner I was backed into
A lot slower to raise my fist

I knew the fight was all in vain
But I felt you falling

Now
I know my way
Found a world of pain
And cut it to fit in the place of my heart
I cut it to fit in the place of my heart

There is a crippling plague underneath this weight
And I'm afraid that I know what it is
Because the further we get from the way of truth
The much further we descend the abyss

I feel the venom pervade, demanding its way
As you nailed me against that wall
In your wrath you preyed on the hope I gave
So now I'm praying for a final resolve

I knew the fight was all in vain
But I felt you falling down
Why should I wait to feel the same
When our fate is calling

Now
I know my way
Found a world of pain
And cut it to fit in the place of my heart
I cut it to fit in the place of my heart

Now
I know my way
Found a world of pain
And cut it to fit in the place of my heart
I cut it to fit in the place of my heart

I found my truest way was not my way at all
Save us when we fall

Now
I know my way
Found a world of pain
And cut it to fit in the place of my heart
I cut it to fit in the place of my heart

Now
I know my way
Found a world of pain
And cut it to fit in the place of my heart
I cut it to fit in the place of my heart

I've been waiting
Give me a sign
There's nothing left to face
Only the time
I see shadows
Devils, decline
I've lost my faith in us
Found my design
So now
Where is the enemy?
I can feel no bite
Where is the enemy
When death is on my side?
Something building
Raging inside
This hope gave me release
Gave me a why
Can't shake this ground beneath
I came to fight
So now
Where is the enemy?
I can feel no bite
Where is the enemy
When death is on my side?
Where is the enemy?
I can feel no bite
Where is the enemy
When death is on my side?
Consuming victory
The trumpets calling out to me by name
By name
No looming debt for me
No, death his will find his aim to be in vain
In vain
So now
Where is the enemy?
I can feel no bite
Where is the enemy
When death is on my side?

Lost faith what fed my heart
Found a great eclipsing dark in me
Thought I could face my end but now
Every time I bleed is close enough

I've learned to count this all
Lead the fight and heed my call again
No time to waste in vain because
Every time I bleed is close enough

I can't lose my balance
Pray no weight would slow me down
I can't face the outcome
Every time I bleed is close enough

One step from home
Close enough to hear my final song

Every fear my shadow
Cross the face of all you gave
Oh, what faint conviction
Every time I bleed, I swear
Every time I bleed is close enough

One step from home
Close enough to hear my final song
All the unknown
Close enough to feel my soul move on

One step from home
Close enough to hear my final song
All the unknown
Close enough to feel my soul move on

Unbound
Unbound
Unbound
There are no chains on me
Unbound
Unbound
Unbound
There are no chains on me

I need no validation
Self-righteous swine
No aimless misanthrope will tell me what is mine
I see your disconnection
You made your choice
You speak deliverance but all I hear is noise

Don't cast your illusion of panic on me
'Til the rope is around

Unbound
Unbound
Unbound
There are no chains on me

Stand by your revelation
Your fake control
No faith is faith the same but stripped of all its soul
I find your reason empty
Devoid of hope
Your plea for final word is going up in smoke

Don't cast your illusion of panic on me
'Til the rope is around...

Unbound
Unbound
Unbound
There are no chains on me
Unbound
Unbound
Unbound
There are no chains on me

Don't cast your illusion of panic on me
'Til the rope is around my neck
Unlearn your compulsion to fall in between
Find your place in death

Unbound
Unbound
Unbound
There are no chains on me
Unbound
Unbound
Unbound
There are no chains on me
No chains
No chains
No chains
Nothing restraining me
Unbound
Unbound
Unbound
Unbound and free

Some of us won't live
In your mind's abyss
You say we're all bound
How do I get out?

Caught in the all-connected heart
I'm no saint, but I can tell the shades apart
That's where I start

We are not the same
You don't speak for me
All your matter's gray
My world is black and white

We are not the same
You don't speak for me
All your matter's gray
My world is black and white

You ensured I do
See this world in two
How can I resign?
To your faint through line

Caught in the all-connected heart
I'm no saint, but I can tell the shades apart
That's where I start

We are not the same
You don't speak for me
All your matter's gray
My world is black and white

We are not the same
You don't speak for me
All your matter's gray
My world is black and white

Caught in the all-connected heart
I'm no saint, but I can tell the shades apart
That's where I start

We are not the same
You don't speak for me
All your matter's gray
My world is black and white

We are not the same
You don't speak for me
All your matter's gray
My world is black and white

I see the fall out
End before it all
True perception is a
Place I default

There is a side I
Try to mediate
To set a fire to
Show some restraint

I suffer the wages
Blind in the age of flesh
Weight of the world
Beating my heart to death

No faith in them, no faith in us
No fix for lifelong distrust
No faith in you, no faith in me
I gauge our fate on history

Everyone
Everyone starts in the negative (The negative)
The negative (The negative)
Everyone
Everyone starts in the negative (The negative)
The negative (The negative)
With me
With me

I know the outcome
I will separate
The very matter from the
Ways that I hate
Hate, hate, hate, hate

I see through deception
Never a soul to trust
All but one
Led by a heart of lust

No faith in them, no faith in us
No fix for lifelong distrust
No faith in you, no faith in me
I gauge our fate on history

Everyone
Everyone starts in the negative (The negative)
The negative (The negative)
Everyone
Everyone starts in the negative (The negative)
The negative (The negative)
With me
With me

I set the line, I built the wall
I brought it low to break your fall

I set the line, I built the wall
I brought it low to break your fall

I set the line, I built the wall
I brought it low to break your fall

I set the line, I built the wall
I brought it low to break your fall

Everyone
Everyone starts in the negative
The negative

Everyone
Everyone starts in the negative (The negative)
The negative (The negative)

Everyone starts in the negative (The negative)
The negative (The negative)
With me

Ash, ash
Nothing here was made to last
Ash, ash
End of days are coming to pass
Everything you love will rust
Time will turn it all to dust and
Ash, ash
Raining down in blessed black

Opulence has run its course
The idols of our time in great divorce
Cling to your hollow ties while
Flames arise and take them all by force
Let go and suffer the ash

Ash, ash
Blackening your wayward path
Ash, ash
Level set and leave it to glass
All the ways you feel complete
Time will render obsolete in
Ash, ash
Reckoning of holy wrath

Opulence has run its course
The idols of our time in great divorce
Cling to your hollow ties while
Flames arise and take them all by force
Let go and suffer the ash

Higher, higher
Walls of your empire
Higher, higher
Built for the crash
Fire, fire
See it descend into
Fire, fire
Ash

Higher, higher
Walls of your empire
Higher, higher
Built for the crash
Fire, fire
See it descend into
Fire, fire
Ash

Let go and suffer the ash

All hail the broken ones
Daughters stray and bastard sons
Those come to fight this dark
Claim to heal our shattered hearts

But I can't trust in you
To pull the weight entrusted to
Every guiding light
Guiding all our blind

They tell me
There is no place for you here
Don't waste your time

I saw the crack run through
Every word you thought you knew
You swore to meet us there
Swore to lead in what we share

But I can't trust in you
To pull the weight entrusted to
Every guiding light
Guiding all our blind

They tell me
There is no place for you here
Don't waste your time

There is no place for you here
Stay with your kind

I can't trust in you
Pull the weight
Entrusted to

I can't trust in you
Pull the weight
Entrusted to

There is no place for you here
Don't waste your time

There is no place for you here
Stay with your kind

Where's your reason
I would die to know
Feel like I've been torn apart
And left in the cold
Same old season
Over and again
Every needle building up
To cut me down to the bone

Outrun
I'm gunning for tomorrow's eclipse
And the panic is all that's bound to be
One by one
'Til every single plot is erased
Fear is all of the fate that's left for me

That's my only guess
Break the flesh 'til nothing's left to atone
But I wanna know
When the grave will need me
Or just leave me alone

That's my only guess
Break the flesh 'til nothing's left to atone
But I wanna know
When the grave will need me
Or just leave me alone

My delusion
Fed my yesterdays
I can see my change of heart
Was always a mile away
Ever-fading
Giving weight to faith
This has been my call to wake
And breathe in the light of the day

Outrun
I'm gunning for tomorrow's eclipse
And the panic is all that's bound to be
One by one
'Til every single plot is erased
Fear is all of the fate that's left for me

That's my only guess
Break the flesh 'til nothing's left to atone
But I wanna know
When the grave will need me
Or just leave me alone

That's my only guess
Break the flesh 'til nothing's left to atone
But I wanna know
When the grave will need me
Or just leave me alone

Don't leave me waiting
I wanna know
How much further down?
If there's a reason
I wanna know
Turn this time around

Outrun
I'm gunning for tomorrow's eclipse
And the panic is all that's bound to be
One by one
'Til every single plot is erased
Fear is all of the fate that's left for me

That's my only guess
Break the flesh 'til nothing's left to atone
But I wanna know
When the grave will need me
Or just leave me alone

That's my only guess
Break the flesh 'til nothing's left to atone
But I wanna know
When the grave will need me
Or just leave me alone

When days fall dark
Everything will fall apart
No path to guide
Solace for a shattered heart

Inside
Something in your soul will beg you why
What gain it is to live and die

Here we stand
To turn and face the odds
Sacrifice yourself
Or bow to lesser gods

If this is all
Where though will we meet again
I won't relent
Suffer to a bitter end

Inside
Something in your soul will beg you why
What gain it is to live and die

Here we stand
To turn and face the odds
Sacrifice yourself
Or bow to lesser gods
Sacrifice yourself
Or bow to lesser gods

There is no time for hesitation
To vow unto a caving world
Throw yourself upon the fire
Hear the call ascending from inside

Something in your soul will beg you why
What gain it is to live and die

Here we stand
To turn and face the odds
Sacrifice yourself
Or bow to lesser gods

Here we stand
To turn and face the odds
Sacrifice yourself
Or bow to lesser gods

We're learning to see through the eyes of the cold
Reading between their lines
Where nothing is safe from the ties of control
Run where they cannot find

Descending further
Upending trust
You reap the ashes
You deal in dust
We heard you crawling
We saw the mark
You drew the blood in silence
But you left a scar

No
We could not escape it if we tried
There is no turning back to hide
We gave them every piece we had inside
We made our bed and now we lie

We're learning to see through the eyes of the cold
Reading between their lines
Where nothing is safe from the ties of control
Run where they cannot find
Why play dead in the dead of night
Why play fair when it's always a gun fight

Descending further
And bleeding dry
In blind devotion
To vacant high
You sold us all into a system of fraud
To fuel the commerce of a trivial god

No
We could not escape it if we tried
There is no turning back to hide
We gave them every piece we had inside
We made our bed and now we lie

We're learning to see through the eyes of the cold
Reading between their lines
Where nothing is safe from the ties of control
Run where they cannot find
Why play dead in the dead of night
Why play fair when it's always a gun fight

Cast your souls upon this fleeting throne
Listen while they strip you to the bone
Lock and load

We're learning to see through the eyes of the cold
Reading between their lines
Where nothing is safe from the ties of control
Run where they cannot find
Why play dead in the dead of night
Why play fair when it's always a gun fight
