The Third Death
01:56

It's too cold to be alone
Pulling heartstrings from tombstones
She stands above Your broken bones
You killed her, you animals
But none
deserve the blame
Misfortune and fate
This skeleton
too far to face
Her ghost
fading away
I need your warmth,
the sun was never enough
above your corpse
She stands, and bleeds your love
Every year you die a little more

I've been dragging this ghost down the road all alone
it's all that I have ever known
can't pierce the fog against the smoke
been working my hands to the bone to find home
there is nothing and nowhere
that means anything to me
Just corrosion and desolate
bleak conformity
hollowed out,
empty and worn
Devouring
everything I've learned
Ghostwalker
God laid to rest
No hope beyond the gates of hell
I stand in the shadow of your fallen god
Become a god myself
Temples to our failures
All of it all will sink into the sand
Erase his name

Enslaved

Will you suffer?
Will you bleed?
Build your machine, piece by piece
Will you sweat?
From the heat
Return to shade, fearfully
Washing the blood from your hands
You will never be saved
Will you give in
Will you see
All your pain
Meant nothing
Washing the blood from your hands
You will never be saved
Destroy the home built by liars and cowards
You will never see
No savior without sacrifice
No war without blood
No savior without sacrifice
No war without blood

Unending Violence
02:07
|
|
||
Hanging the blue
begin anew
Violence against
A power absolute
Clenched jaws of law
Fear at the heart
Fed to the maw
Bleed black
You have nothing
left to lose
Tonight we fit
Fit the the noose
I stand against the law of the land
I stand behind my fellow man
I stand to crush steel in my hand
I am not just another victim
Violence again,
stained red,
marching
Fear shows,
your hand,
your guilt,
our land
Nothing left to lose
Cut your own noose

Gears
03:14
|
|
||
Infused in
my skeleton
This machine
won't let me sleep
Time corrodes
everything
I’ve lost my mind and memories
Lullaby of grinding gears
They spark and cry false melodies
pull the rope tight
I hold my heart just right
keep my neck straight with my spine
I won't be alright
I'll never be alright
keep telling myself that I will be just fine
If a field of glass is what you want
I'll lay you down where I used to haunt
Tie my hands and hang me from the highest tree
I'll know then what it means to be free

Foundation
04:51
|
|
||
Burn the cold world,
before we freeze
I won't be satisfied
until there’s nothing
Ashes where I stood,
smiling
Reveling
in your suffering
Give in, this is the end
Ashes on the horizon
Hail to the blackened earth
we walk on
Guilty are we that carry on
Like lovers we have come and gone
Hold you close as we
freeze together
Push you away
as we thaw
with a world cold
as it is
I can't help
but destroy it all
The cumulative blood we have all washed from our hands will fill the oceans, emptied as its water boiled to steam. We should be ashamed.
Give in, embrace the end
Ashes on the horizon
No god will save you
No master savior
Stand up, build your foundation
Give in, this is the end
Stand up, build your foundation

Godrot

His muscles twitch, my gums will bleed
The rodents swarm at his rotting feet
The sharpened edge of this broken glass
Reflecting heat of smoke and ash
I carve his heart
from his chest
Devour it
Lay God to rest

Lord Of Decay
03:35
|
|
||
Fear, paralyzed
I'm gripped with the guilt of a thousand lies
Giving my last goodbyes
I live with the fear that we all live to die
Live to die
Longing, seething, mindless, empty
This is tyranny alive
Bleed us for life
Leech in the night
Falling away
Lord of decay
Sustained in strife
Forget your pride
Killing the dream
Pulling the leash
Falling away
Lord of decay

Sorrow Of The Gods
03:15
|
|
||
Born of my father's fire
And my mother's heart
from the darkness, the sorrow
That ripped us apart
Blackened shroud
Offers no way out
No way out
This is where I lay my roots down
Dead branches reach out to forgotten truth
Born in fallen shadow
Of demonic flame
I would boil the ocean
to hold you again
Our venom will kill us
March us to the grave
Serpent's tongues counting out our final days
