Charred Walls Of The Damned - Cold Winds On Timeless Days lyrics



Tracks



01. Timeless Days

My hands are grasping, my confidence tearing,
As those around me soon stop caring
My dreams are ending so sudden each day,
With nothing finding me, making me stay

Buying time
My life unwinds
My grasp on reality
It bleeds from cuts with thorns of tragedy

Soon to be
Floating helplessly in the sea
Not knowing where fate takes me
Just an empty human being

Sinking down into darkness,falling
Into the deep abyss I'm crawling
Pull me up to the light of day, won't you
Into the safety of your arms, holding

My sensory, overloaded with memories,
Rational though is now serving me

Buying time
My life unwinds

Soon to be
Floating helplessly in the sea
Not knowing where fate takes me
Just an empty human being

Sinking down into darkness,falling
Into the deep abyss i'm crawling
Pull me up trough the unknown

Sinking in sands of inharmony
Eyes filled with future's wrath
Stepping out from my distant past
Into the now when life burns fast

Soon to be
Floating helplessly in the sea
Not knowing where fate takes me
Just an empty human being

02. Ashes Falling Upon Us

Traces of death coming from the skies
They're destroying so why can't I?

I see the ashes of life float away
In my home I can no longer stay

Quickening their own mortality through foolish addictive needs

I want no part of this sickened wish,
From all around floats death's gray mist

Ashes falling upon us, my body scarring me from inside
Ashes falling upon us, I will not let this die

How many times have I tried to end
This attack on my within
Every moment trying to avoid
The air around me that it destroys

Running through a gauntlet of haze and mist
Inside of me it now lives
Twisting my lungs, threatening my life
Slicing through me with invisible knives

Ashes falling upon us, my body scarring me from inside
Ashes falling upon us, I will not let this die

Set me free from this grey misery
I'm a slave to this death surrounding me

03. Zerospan

Trapped in this technical world so fake
How can I release me
I've caused my reality to break
Unplug that which binds me

Chained in this web I can't think anymore
No time for ideas it's real life I ignore
Concerned with the soulless, a social cocoon
No oxygen for my mind to bloom

Trapped in this technical world so fake
How can I release me
I've caused my reality to break
Unplug that which binds me

Reaching into my own self
Pulling out pieces of me
Scraping bits of my damaged mind
Healing thoughts, who I should be

I've crashed my brain with technology
Losing my thoughts
I've entered virtual reality
Human I'm not
I've cut off ties to humanity
Myself I fought

No desire for interaction, I am lost
Inside this web, I am caught
Aware of this distractions, I am not
Closing my eyes, to original thought
I can't control my ideas, it owns me now
Absorbed into the world of inside out

I look down and all I see
Is a new world in front of me
I come crashing back to earth
Realizing my rebirth

Reaching into my own self
Pulling out pieces of me
Scraping bits of my damaged mind
Healing thoughts, who I should be

I've crashed my brain with technology
Losing my thoughts
I've entered virtual reality
Human I'm not
I've cut off ties to humanity
Myself I fought

04. Cold Winds

I will carve this message in my chest
To leave those who choose to not forget

I feel, and I see, and I need, this frozen hand in front of me

I will not harm those who disturb my rest,
Those whom the all knowing ones detest

I feel, and I see, and I need, this frozen hand in front of me

Can't you see the cold and rage inside of me
Can't you believe that I'm the one that you've set free

I'm freezing, release me
I'm freezing

Cold winds searching
Cold winds learning

How to wear me down
When to hit the ground

Cold winds searching
Cold winds learning

How to wear me down
When to hit the ground

Winter stirs inside of me, chilling now the air I breathe
When am I finally set free

A new season please let it be
A new season for me
Cold winds searching
Cold winds learning

How to wear me down
When to hit the ground
Cold winds searching
Cold winds learning

How to wear me down
When to hit the ground
Cold winds now

05. Lead The Way

Ritual beliefs, uniting those who dare
Some destined to kill, others unaware

Skeletons stand, in the shadow of man
A bond formed with their bleeding hands

Under cold gray skies, we are left behind
Joined life, memories they now will rise

Coming together with a solemn face
Free of expression, thoughts, and hate

When others fail us, unclean fears of new
Draining souls of all tales untrue
A shroud of pain yet flesh remains
There is no hope, no shelter in the rain

Lead the way from this dark reprise
Set me free
Lead the way so that I can find
Make me believe

Lead the way to the tranquil seas
Up trough the deep
Lead the way into soul reprieve
Hope is all we need

Sinking teeth trough skin, in the sky so grim
Falling to the death, yet living again
Waking self torment, in the light that you've sent

Divinity trough suffering eternally
Only light from above will end this grief
Creating shadows in an empty space
Blessing our souls with an unknowning grace

Feeding from blood cursed through sins of mankind
Devouring innocents who waste their lives
Burning ships sail through the safety of night
Immortal cursed now hiding from the daylight

When others fail us, unclean fears of new
Draining souls of all tales untrue
A shroud of pain yet flesh remains
There is no hope, no shelter in the rain

Lead the way from this dark reprise
Set me free
Lead the way so that I can find
Make me believe

Lead the way to the tranquil seas
Up trough the deep
Lead the way into soul reprieve
Hope is all we need

Sinking teeth trough skin, in the sky so grim
Falling to the death, yet living again
Waking self torment, in the light that you've sent

06. Forever Marching On

Marching on forward, together we are one
In the desolate streets our notes they blend
Beating down on us the autumn sun

Far from streets familiar
Counting on the one to guide the way
A massive weight now rests upon my shoulders
No matter the pain, I cannot break

The rhythm of our pounding feet
The music filling empty streets
In unity and pride we'll take
These memories into our graves

Yet still I feel the strength to keep marching on
Far from streets familiar
Counting on the one to guide the way
A massive weight now rests upon my shoulders

The rhythm of our pounding feet
The music filling empty streets
In unity and pride we'll take
These memories into our graves

One day I'll look back and realize
The importance of this, our time
Together we created our moment in the sun
When we all became one

Far from streets familiar
Counting on the one to guide the way
A massive weight now rests upon my shoulders

The rhythm of our pounding feet
The music filling empty streets
In unity and pride we'll take
These memories into our graves

Forever, marching on under clear skies
Forever, marching on and on through life
Forever, marching we are now as one
Forever, marching under eternity's fading sun
Forever, marching on and on and on

07. Guiding Me

Taking hold not so long ago
This heartless beast possessing me

Unaware of what is inside me
Please set me free from this pain I see

Feeding and flowing through rivers of red
Clouding my vision and the thoughts in my head

Seeds of this misery, planted inside of me

Under the surface they now patiently wait
Clouding my judgement as my mind they sedate

Seeds of this misery, planted inside of me

My demons are guiding me
From below they are spawning
They're tearing and clawing
Waiting to be set free
From below they are spawning
They're tearing and clawing at me

Keeping me awake at night
Piercing brain and robbing my sight

Please set me free, from this pain I see

Destroying my body and leaving me torn, not willing to
Die, every day I'm reborn

Seeds of this misery, Planted inside of me

My demons are guiding me
From below they are spawning
They're tearing and clawing
Waiting to be set free
From below they are spawning
They're tearing and clawing at me
My demons are guiding me waiting to be set free

08. The Beast Outside My Window

I am greeted by you in the morning light
Staring through my window for a lifetime
Rising up from the river's depths
It's your presence I've learned to accept

Never thought that you would be
Something that each day I'd see
My dreams become reality
Every time you carry me

Over the storm
Over the pain
Into the rain
At the end of the day

Over the waves
Over the depths
Into my home
Trust that I've kept

Running through your shadows into
Seeds of life that never grew
Walking past the winter's grasp
Onto trails that renew our past

Haunted by the beast outside my window
Towering, watching over all that I know
Haunted by the beast outside my window
Rising, reaching from the dark cold depths below

You've been hammered and tread upon countless times
Standing tall and unhurt, made of scars you rise

Nothing that could ever break
The bond between us, eternally linked

Over the waves
Over the depths
Into my home
Trust that I've kept

Running through your shadows into
Seeds of life that never grew
Walking past the winter's grasp
Onto trails that renew our past

Haunted by the beast outside my window
Towering, watching over all that I know
Haunted by the beast outside my window
Rising, reaching from the dark cold depths below

09. On Unclean Ground

I see the world of pain
Some say they are insane
Only the rage remains
Can this all be explained

They're crawling out of the woods
They are all misunderstood
You know that they've lost their way

But who are we to say
This is their sacred place
It's here they have to stay
On unclean ground they pray

Through the window a silver of light
Nightmare reflected in their eyes
All around lives covering the ground
When will their way be found?

They're crawling out of the woods
They are all misunderstood
You know that they've lost their way

The pain's too much to take
Thrown aside by twist of fate

Healing hands come much too late
Mental storms that isolate
Fires burning their time to dust
Soulless cages now surrounded by rust

They're crawling out of the woods
They are all misunderstood
You know that they've lost their way

10. Bloodworm

As I watch you lying twisted, blue, green, and red
Agony and thoughts of years past run trough my head
I curse the ones who put you in pain
Are ope and time the only cure that remains?

Watching you hurt pierces my heart with a knife
How can something so pure be taken away from my life
I always knew that this day would come
But now it's here, it's left my body numb

So scared to walk through that door
Afraid you won't be there any more
I'd give my own life to save yours
Your suffering has my heart torn

Please don't give up I'm right here with you
I'm trying so hard to help you live
Only another day and you'll be fine
I'm giving all that I can give

Reality it starts to set in
I think of all the times I don't win
But this fight won't stop, no I won't lose my control
Until I no longer breathe, you'll own a piece of my soul
Watching you hurt pierces my heart with a knife
How can something so pure be taken away from my life
I always knew that this day would come
But now it's here, It's left my body numb

So scared to walk trough that door
Afraid you won't be there any more
I'd give my own life to save yours
Your suffering has my heart torn

11. Admire The Heroes

Worshiping those without a soul
Living life with no control
Wasting time as the earth moves past,
Nothing this empty will last
Entering a world shallow, sinking ever again so low

So admire the heroes, the endangered ones
Follow the inspired, under the rising sun
Take care of the wounded, battles they have won
Brave ones saving lives honor, deeds they've done

Admire the heroes, shut out the dark souls
Admire the heroes, shut out the dark souls
Admire the heroes, shut out the dark souls
So now you know, admire the heroes

Empty minds feeding those who hate,
Fighting over a worthless face
Soon forgotten, A fleeting glance,
Eating the conscience of those who chance

So admire the heroes, the endangered ones
Follow the inspired, under the rising sun
Take care of the wounded, battles they have won
Brave ones saving lives honor, deeds they've done

Admire the heroes, shut out the dark souls
Admire the heroes, shut out the dark souls
Admire the heroes, shut out the dark souls
So now you know, admire the heroes

12. Avoid The Light

I'm shielding myself from the unseen above
Attacking my skin I cannot run
I am useless it seems to have won
This agonizing fight with the sun
Every day spent forevermore
Dreading every scar and every sore
Can't face the day in this helpless state
Eating away at me as I mutate

Covering myself
Disfiguring myself
Hiding somewhere else
Fighting against myself

I'll avoid the light, as it chases me
I'll avoid the light, as it wastes me
I'll avoid the light, burning deep in me
I'll avoid the light, cutting meat from me

Icy razors shooting into my skin
Cuts so deep exposing the blood within

Healing now the signs show in my face
Hiding in shadows, darkness encased

Eating through my flesh
Fighting to stop its spread

I'll avoid the light, as it chases me
I'll avoid the light, as it wastes me
I'll avoid the light, burning deep in me
I'll avoid the light, cutting meat from me

From now on i will stay in the dark
Keep the sun from making its black mark
Always watching for its faceless wrath
Keeping distance from its deadly grasp

I'll avoid the light, as it chases me
I'll avoid the light, as it wastes me
I'll avoid the light, burning deep in me
I'll avoid the light, cutting meat from me
