Life's End
03:27
|
|||
Inhale life’s end, we are gods wearing hollow crowns
Put our lives on a silver platter, until the starving can eat no more
Spilling blood in the soil, slap a noose on the young
Lord take a step back,
behind the shadow of lies
the living eyes have never bled this blind
False guidance held high,
a sermon of sin, a sign of the times
All hope is lost, death springs new life, grasping at the seams
Milk the tree of its fruit while the herd circle the few that remain,
No violence needed but the mental strain takes place
Enough to bring a mountain to its knees
Ignore the signs around us and burn the life inside
Dead hearts
Dead hearts beating
Tear us apart, Dead beating hearts
Inhale life’s end, we are gods wearing hollow crowns

Sirens
01:23
|
|||
Beautiful ruined monuments, history burned to the ground
Unity, dispersed more than ever, disinherit our own heritage
Fight for a revolution that doesn't even exist, make belief childish ambition
Revel in the darkness that we create, lost in the fire of damnation
Erode, erode
The planet we live on
Sown sacrifice summons the curse
Imagine a peace where world’s coexisted
Impossible

The Road
03:33
|

Freedom’s warmth everlasting
How we hope the feeling would never pass
Damp leaves twist and turn left a story untold
How the land mourns a past left unknown
Lost in the ages
Hidden from mortal eyes
Breathe deep the scent of rain
Soil plowed the ground brings new joy in the sorrow we carry across
Veil of gray sweeps the sky as the cloudy hills rise above, fields rustle to calm the silent
Journey far forest deep, landscapes unfold
Seal our hearts in the chests underground
Blind unbound we travel roads, as illumination cracks the clouds
Both sated and shaken return, to the end of the highway
Determined we will remain
For the forsaken we carry the pain
Solemnly rest in peace
The reminder

The Wreckage
03:47
|
|||
Do we even care?
While the land is plundered and souls are scattered amongst the corpses
Down a bottle to drown the thought there always another day
Until the ghosts comeback.
It's easy to run your mouth
High up on your horse
Preach untruth lies misinformation
Ruin the lives others that cross your path
Slither your way to the top
Cold serpent eyes
I hope you it makes you feel good, justified
To drive another to take his own life
A humble visage while the demon lurks beneath
I hold on to what remains of my sanity
Liar, coward, deceiver
Insecure to the bone
Liar, coward, deceiver
Revel in the sewage that is your soul
I hope you find peace, in the hell that you reside in
Dark is the howl, hard is the head, soft is the heart,
Distorted images
Of what was and what should be
Misplaced fears strong in the paradox
What are we even anymore?

Roots
03:04
|
|||
Fading through memories no ledges to hold on
Climbing to sunlight out walls that surround us
Poison seeping in veins of the ancient left to decay
A fall from grace
Pulled down by the chains
Held back by the burden of self doubt
Resources spread amongst the privileged
While the world turns insane
Hide your head in the ground from the chaos our daily routines are filled with the reminder
That no one is immune
Throw what's left at the end of the scrap heap
Piled up high for the lost to scavenge
Living to die
A fall from grace
Pulled down by the chains
Held back by the burden of self doubt
Resources spread amongst the privileged
While the world turns insane
You might not feel the same
Until dead end up on your doorstep
You might not feel the same
Until dead end up at your feet

Unrest Eternal
04:15
|
|||
Unrest eternal
The unshakeable burden
A torment to last for all time
A pain unwavering that's chained to this life
Destruction
The human result
The power and the glory
All a path to a halt
Where do
We turn to?
No one can be spared
No one is exempt
When faith is lost
When lives are cost
When loss is gained
Again and again
Where do
We turn to?
No one can be spared
No one is exempt
Unrest eternal
Take me out
Take me out
Make me no more
Give this pain to somebody else
Someone with a stronger soul

Ligature
02:43
|
|||
Dragging along the line again
I feel the air deepen with regret
Longing for an altered state of mind
Depraved of the light that divides the dark within
Ligature tied to the soul
Neglect the ones around us and lose what cannot ever be regained
Anchor tied to our ankles
Mourn the loss at the grave
That we buried ourselves in
Falling through the haze of fog beneath us
No land to ground ourselves to this place
Ligature tied to the soul
Neglect the ones around us and lose what cannot ever be regained
Anchor tied to our ankles
Mourn the loss at the grave
That we buried ourselves in
Neglect the ones around us and lose what cannot be regained
Never lose the feeling or reap the past forever long

Destined to Dirt
02:02
|
|||
The noose is loose
The beast has been born
The dawn of another loose cannon
In a wicked world that's torn
Pulling me limb from limb
With this body built of sin
I Manifest and i suffer
This vessel is destined to dirt
Don't let me go
Holding on to nothing
The disaffected youth
Cursed from the beginning
In the endless search for truth
The eternal search for purpose
I will perish alone
Only the wind through the trees
Will begin to call me home
Chasing the dawn
Til the end of the world
Im banished and gone
Im destined to dirt
You're destined to dirt

Earth Breaker
03:44
|

Earth shatters as a thousand voices echo through the tunnels
Separate the cries from the clamour beneath the rubble
Coal dusted faces scurry to the light that shimmers
From oil filled lamps that extinguish one by one
Breaking rocks where Death reputes under the surface
As the sky collapses above doom filled caverns
Rooms of amber encase bodies of those left behind
The hearth in the hearts of men fragment for all time
Love ones abandoned without a choice or say
Make your peace with the devil cause God can't hear you now
Reaching out dirt filled chambers as the cinder-shards burn hands
Revoke the will to live, no one will judge you here
Earth shatters as a thousand voices are silenced in the tunnels
Separate the gasps from the clamour beneath the rubble
Coal dusted faces lifeless underground
War rips the world asunder as they perish below
