It makes you feel good, tastes so high
Creeping numbing fingertips As a vision passes through my mind It takes my demands and brings me to life As long as I know when to bleed I know my veins won't feel denied You're the salt of the earth, ascending the same And know what you're worth When you suffer in the belly of the beast Suffer, suffer When you suffer in the belly of the beast Suffer, suffer When you suffer in the belly of the beast Sensations run high and apathy flows A continuance of repentance that cradles all indifference It makes you feed on chalk an gasoline A synergy of ecstasy sparks fire and denies relief Lets you know there never was control Diving in your secondary skin You're the salt of the earth, ascending the same And know what you're worth When you suffer in the belly of the beast The tension in here is breaking the noose A never ending calamity Anamnesis that buries you Been there so long, squeezing you tight A deceptive kiss, a deathly grip That deafens you to slit your wrists You're the salt of the earth, ascending the same And know what you're worth When you suffer in the belly of the beast Suffer, suffer When you suffer in the belly of the beast Suffer, suffer When you suffer in the belly of the beast Suffer, suffer When you suffer in the belly of the beast Suffer, suffer When you suffer in the belly of the beast Suffer, suffer When you suffer in the belly of the Suffer, suffer When you suffer in the belly of the beast 02. The Messenger
The spirits rise in the dead man's tomb
Worlds deprived under his name He rides above your city And decides if to lay down his hands Stories are told since the dawn of days When it's time remember his name You bear the swords For the last time You hear him cry I am the messenger of Death And I keep a ledger filled with wrath For I am your messenger of Death And I keep a ledger with all your names When he was born his mother died Fate said her words, the cruellest lie The end is only a beginning Through the flames and the feathers damned From whence he came the dark divine In the purest form, Death is time You say your words One last time Even then you hear him cry I am the messenger of Death And I keep a ledger filled with wrath For I am your messenger of Death And I keep a ledger with all your names I am the messenger of Death And I keep a ledger filled with wrath For I am your messenger of Death And I keep a ledger with all your names 03. The Coffin Train
A canvas made of skin and painted by their tears
In the colours of the damned The lies will tell the truth in the suffocating lands When the children die in the womb It's an eye for an eye On the scales of the coffin train Seek redemption, repent and Sell the divine's dead love The world hangs as a blind man He writes in ink of blood and betrays the words Their history paved with bones And the horizon will unleash Another chapter that's buried in ghosts As time abandons youth and their pillars fall enraged A fate so infinitely mans It's an eye for an eye On the scales of the coffin train Seek redemption, repent and Sell the divine's dead love The world hangs as a blind man He writes in ink of blood and betrays his words And the world is set ablaze on a coffin train And though all man is to blame They're the ones who deserve to die But we die first And so it goes, the fear It eats us up from inside And in the end We're euthanizing all human kind And then again time is a'running out For the crows are a'calling Before the dawn an empire Might see their demise At the hands of the young With the fire in their eyes And in the end time will run out For the coffins are waiting Get off the coffin train Just get off the coffin train Get off the coffin train Yeah, just take down the coffin train Take down the coffin train! 04. Shades Of Black
The voices cry for a broken spirit
Whispers 'rest in peace now', weeping for him in secret The night breaks though the clouds as witness To the sorrow that's unforgiving and the light slowly diminishes As I lie here and float in between The shades of black I look upon the stars, yours is brightest of them all I need a long time to grieve and replenish emotion Your words are sewn into our hearts bereaved Fuse together pieces while we're holding in all our tears The lights break through the dark to listen As the songs ring unforgiving and our voices are undiminishing As I lie here and float in between The shades of black I look upon the stars, yours is brightest of them all I need a long time to grieve and replenish emotions Rusty nails on the ground, now you're free of your cag And the sound of your voice will forever live on In the strength of your words we'll remember your fire From the earth into stone and through bones we live and we die Live and die 05. The Sleeper (Prelude)
Beware the voice that crushes steel
For where the wicked rise and seal the earth They young will stand to bring about the reckoning In our darkest hour let them hear you roar Let them hear you rage We will shake the earth, we will shatter their walls Bring us out of darkness The task borders on impossible But from among you giants will emerge Set fire to the skies and bring justice to the worlds 06. The Sleeper
Staring into the dark
Cold hands wrapped around the heart A quiet war and a hidden truth The ashes fallen to the ground reveals a destiny Holy mother's poison needle trials my fears The flesh erodes into the bone Epiphany slumbers at the seams within It echoes to Shai Hulud Prophecy rising from the sands The keepers of the lands The sleeper must awaken The sleeper that's deep inside The sleeper must awaken For the sleeper can never die Stare into the womb Drink the bile and tread through dreams no more Holy worms will split the earth and blacken the sun The witches told the spice must flow Let the voices crush and break the temples in you And give into Shai Hulud Prophecy rises from the sands The people of the lands The sleeper must awaken The sleeper that's deep inside The sleeper must awaken For the sleeper can never die And from the depths of the moon A name will echo through time As the giants rise up from the earth To end the silent war under the golden sky And they will carry justice to the nations Father the sleeper's awakened The sleeper that's deep inside The sleeper must awaken For the sleeper can never die The sleeper must awaken The sleeper that's deep inside The sleeper must awaken For the sleeper can never die 07. Death By Design
Out of the furnace and into the fire
It's a cruel game of death and desire You can say his name and preach to the choir When your days end it's a one way smile I'm heading down, I'm wrapped in fire sails I'm coming down to be back with all my friends Feel the heat I'm satisfied There's no defeat in death by design Feel the heat and testify Feed the fire in death by design Out of the furnace and into the streets It's a cruel game with the days on repeat You can play the game or set it all alight Match the scars from your birth with a one way smile I'm heading down, I'm blessed in my betrayals I'm coming down, yeah to be back with all my friends Feel the heat I'm satisfied There's no defeat in death by design Feel the heat and testify Feed the fire in death by design I'm going down in a blaze of light Unlike them I never said no to life I'm going down Oh into the furnace, oh where I'm sanctified So feel the heat I'm satisfied There's no defeat in death by design Feel the heat and testify Feed the fire in death by design Oh I' going down, I'm going down I'm going down, down I'm going down, I'm going down, I'm going down 08. Serrated Love
A thousand years have passed since I walked upon her shores
A thousand tears have cracked the salty face of this earth And is there no one else whom can walk upon her shores And to gaze into her pearls is to live forevermore To reach in the eye of your masters To see past the limits and feel her Supreme love serrated heart And then seek her timeless love Now her constellations are fading and abandoned The dead lights imploding that burn up in her sun They're calling out your name while her tears they pierce the night And when you fall into her world then you'll live forevermore And reach in the eye of your master To see through the limits and feel a Supreme love serrated heart And then seek her timeless love Whispers of the end cinders in her hair As we follow her down below, love Her kisses drifting through the stars As her love sings loud And feel a supreme love serrated heart And then seek her timeless love Love... 09. The Phoenix
While the crows are circling my bones
And I'm crucified upon their stones I'll take the time to send off a gallows grin Before unleashing the lions resting within So follow me, into the death of this reflection Follow me, the journey starts with who you are And I'm dying, dying while I'm dreaming And I'm dying, dying to rise like the phoenix As the blood it drips down form my crown And I'm counting down 'til hell is born I've given death the chance to comfort me Before she steals my breath and takes me beneath So follow me, into the death of this reflection Follow me, the journey ends with who you are And I'm dying, dying while I'm dreaming And I'm dying, dying to rise like the phoenix So follow me, into the death of this reflection Follow me, the journey ends with who you are And I'm dying, dying while I'm dreaming And I'm dying, dying to rise like the phoenix Ohh, tired now Tired from this resurrection For the lions, the lions are restless They crave to be released So follow me, into the depths of your inception Follow me, the circle's only just begun 10. Until We Burn
Born to be kings but defeated by time
Black Country dreams they were leased for a while But the way to glory and love is through pain Chasing a world on the ladders made of golden tomes Until the end the lights will shine After it ends the songs survive Hope is burned into the shadows of our veins Though the road winds far over the earth Into the sun until we burn Landslide of demons, one poisoned ego burning bright The change of the seasons lighting releases new fire But the way to glory and love is through pain Chasing a world on the ladders made of golden tomes Until the end the lights will shine After it ends the songs survive Hope is burned into the shadows of our veins Though the road winds far over the earth Into the sun until we burn Until the end the lights will shine After it ends the songs survive Hope is burned into the shadows of our veins Though the road winds far over the earth Into the sun until we burn Engraved in the songs and the words Forevermore until we burn |
