This is our call: To see these idols fall
Drag them out into the light Let fate devour whole This is your fault You fool of faith untrue that we should face the grave with such a blackened view Oh, (this pain is true) we see the damage done in the eyes of those, turning away Save your plea for the day that we suffer the wake of this treason Rain like fire descending upon us in holy resolve Upon this ground Hollow name of five encircled frame Deception incarnate: Receive my vow of hate Oh, (this pain is true) see how the blood will run in the eyes of those, turning away Save your plea for the day that we suffer the wake of this treason Rain like fire descending upon us in holy resolve Upon this ground We see the damage done Resounding desecration We see the damage done Blackened insurrection Suppress the pain of mind as long as you can bear And feel the desperation clawing from within They say the truth is found when Hell is at your doorstep You'd better pray to see that time come to pass Save your plea for the day that we suffer the wake of this treason Rain like fire descending upon us in holy resolve Upon this ground 02. LifeWar
Born from the fire clean, crawling through the dirt like war
5 years, my mother gave a voice for war 10, I was dead, born again with eyes for war By 15, hate was the name of my war Wash me in the river, give me to the pain of LifeWar LifeWar 20 years gone, and father told me life was like war Hands to the bone, 25 years of war 30, I wake to the sound of souls at war I will pass through, buried with the flag of my war Wash me in the river, give me to the pain of LifeWar LifeWar 03. Collapsing
I see the weight of hollow death residing in you
Take now your final breath Exhale the truth I see the fear of nothing left Dead fragments of youth You hold it in yourself I feel it too I mourn your blindness I die along And swallow darkness In misery is where I belong Collapsing in on yourself I don't know why I try Collapsing in on yourself I don't know why you deny I know the light is burning dim and dying in you I know the pain that lies within I feel it too I mourn your blindness I die along And swallow darkness In misery is where I belong Collapsing in on yourself I don't know why I try Collapsing in on yourself I don't know why you deny No vow of silence No remission of truth Collapsing in on yourself I don't know why I try Collapsing in on yourself I don't know why you deny 04. This Is The Line
Fire surround, in cleansing repose
Letting the filth, like venom it flows Scar, the mark, remind us the pain Breaking the bones that will reach out again And now we will rise to conquer them all Many will challenge, many will fall Bring us your vile, malicious of mind We will bring their necks to the line Scum of the earth: Power of air You wanted the world We'll bury you there This is a battle We are the blade And this is the line, this is the line All that they build we will break This is the line And though you will fight, you will not return For when in the fields, your temples we burned And scattered the ash upon every grave to honor the ones that you had betrayed This is a battle We are the blade And this is the line, this is the line All that they build we will break This is the line You wanted the world We'll bury you there This is a battle We are the blade And this is the line, this is the line All that they build we will break This is the line Whose side are you on? 05. Driving Nails
I was the light
I was the quiet heart I was the place we used to dwell And when the cold would tear your life apart, I was the warmth that you had felt What have I become? Thoughts like shadows swelling through my mind What have I become? Something else inside... It's driving nails into my soul Angels from my door Driving nails into my soul Something inside... I was the blood inside your broken heart I was the stone that you had held What have I become? Thoughts like shadows swelling through my mind What have I become? Something else inside... It's driving nails into my soul Angels from my door Driving nails into my soul Something inside... I close my eyes Search for you Retracing every step It's driving nails into my soul Angels from my door Driving nails into my soul Something inside... 06. The World Is A Thorn
The gavel has fallen, along with the rest
Are we expected to settle for this? Bring us the plague, lead us away Blacken tomorrow with ash of today Can't you see the fabric of our standards wearing thin? See your world in its grave at the hands of the enslaved Won't bow to man Won't bow to government Won't trust in a failed system of self-fulfilling lust Won't love a world where my God is mocked I defy Oh, a kiss on the serpent's head We walk in the line of deceit, the walking dead Can't you feel the ground of our discretion giving way? Refusal of hope, solution demise Bury the truth in a mountain of lies Won't bow to man Won't bow to government Won't trust in a failed system of self-fulfilling lust Won't love a world where my God is mocked I defy This is what you try to sell me: Subjective nothingness Pull your sickness from my throat Let me breathe the truth Won't bow to man Won't bow to government Won't bow to greed Won't bow to false hope Won't bow to self Won't bow to modern code Won't sell my soul to a dead world I defy 07. Tie This Around Your Neck
This is the age of the dead
The generation of pagan and self-led You can feel the bones shatter beneath our feet The blood of lust staining our teeth We feed on pain, disorder, delusion, the filth of the modern plague And in this reign of Godlessness, the heathens will say... Tie this around your neck Fool Save your breath my son Just carry on home Time will prey on you And take you through Hell I've heard every empty line Every curse, every word that you redefine I will turn my back on the coming storm Won't lie in the grave, I will be reborn They say... Tie this around your neck Fool Save your breath my son Just carry on home Time will prey on you And take you through Hell Confusion reigns Pride of the hopeless herd Blind to the will, blind to the word They will drown in the rule of man, helpless and alone Save your breath my son Just carry on home Time will prey on you And take you through Hell Tie this around your neck Fool 08. Just Breathe
So now you try, but the blade is primed to just cut you down again
To no avail, this fix divine was wrought to do you in Seemingly endless, beckoning debt Vacant and nameless, where is the end? Aching just to endure again sweet loss Able again to feel This is real Just breathe Suffer again Look back Stand in the wake and breathe Wait for the end Fight back This isn't over One single touch will further crush your corrupted state of mind You carve the way for regret to take you further down the line Seemingly endless, beckoning debt Vacant and nameless, where is the end? Aching just to endure again sweet loss Able again to feel This is real Just breathe Suffer again Look back Stand in the wake and breathe Wait for the end Fight back This isn't over This isn't over 09. Shallow Water
Remember the threat from which it was said. "You will reap every seed that you sow"
And the tomb where you lay is the bed that you made Be still in the pain that you wrote See now, every scar is a choice you make Every choice is a vow you take Take pity upon your fate, you coward Sleepwalk through Heaven's call, no forest for the trees Unlearn every step you take, it'll bring you to your knees Tread... Shallow water Safe from the weight, the burden of sacrifice Sons and daughters, pray for the rain May it redeem their eyes And now we have seen what complacency brings as the blind are assuming the lead Dig deep in the hole where you buried your soul, in the river from where it bleeds See now, every scar is a choice you make Every choice is a vow you take Take pity upon your fate, you coward Sleepwalk through Heaven's call, no forest for the trees Unlearn every step you take, it'll bring you to your knees Tread... Shallow water Safe from the weight, the burden of sacrifice Sons and daughters, pray for the rain May it redeem their eyes Take now your eternal stand before it pulls you in Shallow water Safe from the weight, the burden of sacrifice Sons and daughters, pray for the rain May it redeem their eyes 10. Feel As Though You Could
Rebellion
Oh, cheap thrills and vacant youth Carry out your own will Shovel deep and bury truth Social stain, punk wreck, mother's own defect Sing that song you know so well Sing it one foot in Hell Eyes wide black Turn your back Oh, how the foolish will see How every man he will bleed The vultures circle, halo of the dead Another vicious cycle, swallow what you're fed And now the vultures circle, halo of the dead Another vicious cycle Be true to your dissent Somehow feel as though you could Somehow, in all your petty suffering Burn this down Rejection of weak trends and fake hate This is what you're fighting for? Some fools mistake I will devour you I'll overpower you Rise from the ashes, screaming eternity The vultures circle, halo of the dead Another vicious cycle, swallow what you're fed And now the vultures circle, halo of the dead Another vicious cycle Be true to your dissent Somehow feel as though you could Somehow, in all your petty suffering Burn this down Ignite upon these words and breathe defeat Your shallow deeds make Hell for wood and stone, flesh and bone, this alone Somehow feel as though you could Somehow, in all your petty suffering Burn this down 11. Blood In The Tears
Don't come on quietly when you draw near
Don't go on lightly Don't leave me here I wither quickly in winter's cold, but carry onward like I was told And I wait for a sign Like blood in the tears of all my enemies (So they will see) Knowing the pain the way they should Blood in the tears of all my enemies (Given to me) Leaving a trail to where you stood And when it's quiet, when you can hear, I beg you take me away from here Like blood in the tears of all my enemies (So they will see) Knowing the pain the way they should Blood in the tears of all my enemies (Given to me) Leaving a trail to where you stood Cleansing red Wake the dead Like blood in the tears of all my enemies (So they will see) Knowing the pain the way they should Blood in the tears of all my enemies (Given to me) Leaving a trail to where you stood 12. Desire The Pain
This is your dying will.
Forced to feed and over again. Flies to filth, greed, wealth. And we take what they give every piece that we can hold. Is it all that we are? Is it all we seek to be? Soiled hands will meet us there. Choking the light from our souls. I desire the pain. I desire the weight. And I will face my grave. Draining the life from our veins into a curse that we despise. What a sickening way to spend our lives. Soiled hands will meet us there. Choking the light from our souls. I desire the pain. I desire the weight. And I will face my grave. I desire remorse. I desire release. And I will chase this away... Away.... I desire the pain. I desire the weight. And I will face my grave. I desire remorse. I desire release. And I will chase this away... I desire the pain. I desire the weight. And I will face my grave. I desire remorse. I desire release. And I will chase this away. I desire the pain... |
