CONDEMNING THE BLOODLINE

Wither away
Human failure
Born to tragedy
The ashen womb she
Did not know the
Filth that she would bring breeding
Murder hands and
Itchy eyes to
Stab the lids out dry, fearing
Her own child
In denial
Bodies build up high, well…

Poor world we should suffer what you did bare
A callous beast that feeds on blood and tears

Condemn the blood that's in your line with all these
Deaths that fill the endless graves inside your

Basement walls bleed…bleed…
Mortar screams plead…plead…

Arsenal of
Butchery is
Locked inside his room while the
Smell of skin is
Burning black the
Killers new perfume, well…

Sorrow filled screams encompass all you know
Prodigal son contaminates the flow
Of blood…of blood…

Encased by the fear of your perishing spawn
You birthed a monster, are you ashamed?

What you came for
Lacerate the flesh
Suffocating
Mother's will to live…to live…

Supress…the shame…
Embrace the violence
As he cuts a toxic mess
Hiding in the shroud of doubt
Is your sanctuary now
Suppress…

Lie…die…

Wither away
Human failure
Born to tragedy the
Ashen womb she
Did not know the
Filth that she would bring

A murderous heart
Condemning the blood
As pure as the sun
Now shining in hell…now shining in hell…now shining in hell…

LAMENT FOR THE FALLEN

Erode

Burned beyond recognition melting skin drips fast
A bloody trail of wreckage, slaughtering carcass
Annihilate the god-like, bury them with gospel pages drenched red

I am unaffected by your scorn
Defend (lament)
All the losses that you mourn

Drain the common man of solace, let him bleed out dry
A rancid sack of flesh, rotting servitude
Why am I the victim that you torture most?
Surrender all of my will to survive

Burned beyond recognition melting skin drips fast
A bloody trail of wreckage, slaughtering carcass

{Chorus} I am unaffected by your scorn
Defend (lament)
All the losses that you mourn
I am pushing further than before
Transcend from this memory once more

Broken child Infected by neglect
The nightmare turns to daylight
Ripe scars and piled skin
Unceasing execution
The mania kicks

Revere my life
Instead mutilation of the mind
Abuse, despise
Create subliminal suicide
Revere my life
Instead mutilation of the mind
Destroy, leave dead
Commit homicidal bloodshed

Now defiantly I stand, murder weapon drawn
Kill the competition with a fatal blow
Spit in the face of tyrants and of those that choose
To oppress in the wake of my reign

{Chorus}
I'm dying
Piercing deep into your eyes
Sorrow felt for those who die
Lament for the fallen


GOD GRANT ME VENGEANCE

{Verse 1}
Stain the planet red, dark knuckles will ignite
The ignorant will pay with their blood on my hands

It's bad enough the human condition is weak
Three pounds of flesh upstairs and you can't think for yourself
Merely defeated I carry this weight alone
Standing defiant I strike with reprisal now

Web of lies you weave
Like daggers piercing skin
I'll choke the breathe out of your sad existence
You become victim to my own hands

{Chorus}
A bitter taste
Hostility (taker of life)
God grant me fucking vengeance
I grind my fists (a violent rage)
Across cement (reaper of death)
God grant me fucking vengeance

I sharpen this blade just for you
Merely defeated I carry this weight alone
Standing defiant I strike with reprisal now

Animosity, I bludgeon all the rest
With shards of wrath I stamp out pestilent wind
I rise against authority

I brake for no one other than me
I am the master of hate
I am the power

{Chorus}

Grow this mutiny
Of blood and ash
Re-salt my wounds to remind me
You become victim to my own hands

Bleed reopened scars
Unanswered pain
Extreme distaste for the human condition

Drown in testament
Old industry
Profit off oceans of lies

{Verse 1}
{Chorus}
Fuck


THE REBIRTH

{Chorus}
Dead eyes fixate upon our souls
Reaping the effortless
Conceiving our rebirth
Faithless (broken) rejected apathy
Pathetic virtue stains (blood soaked rain)
Our god forsaken world

Feeling merciless hands of a God that does not sympathize
Cutting human by human until every herd has been bled
Lives that wade in the filth like a plague that will not pacify
Prolonged torment that yields no relief at all…fuck

Mindless deaf herd repent all your scars
Retribution will surface again
I maim you

With wounded pride I fight
Deliverance is near
A fetal glimpse at life

{Chorus}

Blackened darkness abating as I persevere through this shit
Starving mind fed delusions that rape me of all of my worth
Purgatory a haven that crushes the will of a man
Drink the chalice of your god and taste the horror…suck

Mindless deaf herd repent all your scars
Retribution will surface again
Fallen empire will rebuild at last
Glass womb bondage will not force us down

Against all odds that succumb I find the strength to kill
I find the strength to kill
Immunity at hand
This demon seed will bloom
Even Christ will bow at our fucking side
Bow at our fucking side

{Chorus}

Take my hand to perish from this place
A bleak and restless life
Revulsion spreads its wings
Carry on as fragile life dies out
White ash and dust blow strong
Across the dim lit sky

Carry on, reaping the effortless
Conceiving our rebirth
Life dies out, pathetic virtue stains
Our god forsaken world


ASSEMBLY OF THE LOCUSTS

Eighty percent of you will turn your back on your own god
Our prisons holy temples for the modern day criminal mind
He kills with sacred hands
Divinity has failed we cage the sanctified
With righteous plastic smiles you preach but you don't pray
A fucking hypocritical mess you have made
All bullshit

Raise your hands to the absolute power
The absent ghost divine
Embrace all sin
Your words a poison whisper
So sell your soul again

Salvation is all alone inside your head
You'll never see
It's in your head
All fucking bullshit

Lace the truth with empty promise
This is a product of man
Reach to the sky
Assembly of locusts
Fidelity is your weapon

{Chorus}
Salvation is all alone inside your head, man made to believe
Collected and betrayed we murder ourselves
Thinking we'll be saved

Slaying with pride
A knife to the throat happens worldwide
But it's ok, because all of us who pray will be saved, fuck that
Cut out your eyes, blinded by truth and the light, fake light
Mass homicide descended by heavenly crimes this time

I mask my hate
With pious insanity
Anoint my wounds
I kill again

Stab your way into a cement refuge
A cage of steel ordained
You are the plague
Remiss of consequence
So burn the word to ash

{Chorus}

Saved, you think you'll be saved (collapse the last time)
Saved, you think you'll be saved
Collapse the last time
Follow your own heart


SCARS IN OBLIVION

{Chorus}
Suffer days you live, count the ways you'll die
I avail for you always
Never hearts to mend, only martyred life
Sever empty trust always

{Verse 1}
Pillaged youth, lustful stare
Prying wide, tainted flower
Tears run cold, deepest scar
Soiled seed, pray for the end that will never arrive

Cower in the dark, saviorless you are
Betray your kin through silence
Abandon purity, neglect what you see
Damage done will prove the test of time

{Chorus}

Medicate, tortured mind
Numb to skin, rotten dosage
Deception, loveless void
Evade sin, her demise

Cower in the dark, saviorless you are
Betray your kin through silence
Abandon purity, neglect what you see
Damage done will prove the test of time
Offering remedy full of scorn and malice
Crucified casualty, severed heart lingers on this time

{Chorus}

I reveal the bloodshed, damn the undeserving

Now I descend full force all of my hatred
Sift through wreckage as I search for composure
Absent as the heart beat and the torment of a murdered child
I tread in damnation through the bullshit and your minion waters
Fuck them all

{Verse 1}

Cower in the dark, saviorless you are
Betray your kin through silence
Crucified casualty, severed heart lingers on this time

{Chorus}

You're betrayal ignited the terminal war
Your neglect will scar deeper than you'll ever know
Her sorrow's induced by your oblivion
Stale force fed life


DELIVERANCE

I need more time
Unrest corrodes vitality
Buried alive without closure

{Chorus}
Reject my eyes (reject my eyes)
Revolving door of pain
Deliverance (deliver me)
Before I go insane
I'm falling into this curse again
I'm chasing after my own redemption now

Bereft of air
I choke on countless failures
Swallow razors and lies that cut my inner lining
Corruption, enter the gallows of hatred
Hanging like blood rusted chimes
No wind to quell the stagnant fear
That binds us, we carry iniquitous black flames
Casting dark shadows of plague
Be rest assured I'll die, but not without a fight
Patiently I wait to overcome
I will not give in until my voice has been fucking heard
Surround my eyes with gloom always a constant veil
Detest my life, these prayers go unanswered

I dwell in horrid darkness
I loathe the failure I am

Bullet for all of my sins
I strive to be undivided
Miles of desolate pain
I wander earth as a crutch
Only to die

{Chorus}

Bereft of air
I choke on countless failures
Swallow razors and lies that bleed me
Catastrophe draws near
I relapse into darkness

Surveyer of human flaw
Defiance will be our own
I face dishonor once again (with bitter arms)
Redeeming grace is never there
Patiently I wait to overcome
I will not give in until I've won

I need more time
Unrest corrodes
This is my only vitality
Buried alive (I suffocate)
Without closure (the silence kills)
I will arise and be heard

{Chorus}


ETERNAL UPRISING

We torch our own
With fist and flame we tend to justify
Burn

Amidst the holy war machine
Embrace the earthen tomb we live
Rotting rich with body parts
From years of mortal doom

We curse ourselves for bleeding her
Chaos the blackest fuel alive
Attack the world with slaughtering
Creatures of endless hate

We torch our own
Driven to die
Craving the dark
Mushroom cloud sky

Forever burning the world with fist and flame
Eternal uprising

Born to terrorize all the hearts of men
Gears and knives that will crush and bleed all the skulls
Mines that shear a man in half at the seams
Shards that tear at the skin and fillet off the bone

For such a frail
Creature we are
Power we seek
Induced by death
Beliefs blur the righteousness
Lost souls cling to their kingdom
Afraid to negotiate
Instead bleed the soil

We torch our own
Driven to die
Craving the dark
Mushroom cloud sky

Forever burning the world with fist and flame
Eternal uprising

Kill…driven to die!

Protect all of your lands by abandoning reason
Deploy bombs in the air that break the foundation
Faceless bodies that stare from the heat covered wasteland
Bedlam covers the sky with sacred explosives
Burn…

Our enemies are mirrored by our minds
The enemy is that we're human kind
Our enemies are mirrored by our minds
The enemy is that we're human kind

Born to terrorize all the hearts of men
Gears and knives that will crush and bleed all the skulls
Mines that shear a man in half at the seams
Shards that tear at the skin and fillet off the bone

We torch our own…
Surrender none…with fist and flame we tend to justify…
With fist and flame, with fist and flame, we torch our own, we tend to justify
With fist and flame, with fist and flame, we torch our own, we justify


REMNANTS OF A FAILED CREATION

{Chorus}
I'm fading and there's no time to react
The remnants of a failed creation
We are the slain, trapped in a world that dies

Clench your fist protrude blue rivers
Just stab a vein, forget the pain
Lose yourself into a path of exile

I cannot be tamed
I cannot be caged

Grind your pills a savior of dust
A glass eyed stare, won't harbor fear
Calm your demons and escape reality for a moment's time

{Chorus}

I cannot be tamed
I cannot be caged

Slave to injection
I cannot be
Push the venom in
I cannot be saved

Believe nothing more
Wasted breathe of man

The angel's work is done
A restless tide is near
I watch the whole world die
As I twist this knife

I defeat the weak (on my own)
I destroy the strong (it's my turn)
Now bow down to me (surrender)
And you will fear what I've become

Count your tracks a putrid skin trail
The fact remains you'll never change
Binge your life away on broken mirrors
Cutting all that white sand

{Chorus}


HOURS OF DECAY

I rot alive

In the coma crimson sleep
The sound of iv drips
They water down my soul
Distilling hate and mold

When will I wake to kill your mind like mine?

I drown in sleep, cold eyes can't speak (what a waste)
These hours of decay, these hours of decay

Breed the cold dark murderer in a room locked inside
(A prison cell of cries), a prison cell of cries
Form the ways in which to rip all the flesh from your spine
(I'm gonna take your life), I'm gonna take your life

Open the gates of collagen
Flowing red from your heart
No solace in the air
You're life will disappear

When will I wake to kill your mind like mine?

I drown in sleep, cold eyes can't speak (what a waste)
These hours of decay, these hours of decay
The time has come for you to run
I'm gonna take your life, I'm gonna take your life away…away

I think of ways to end your days
Its manufactured death
Destroying all that's in my path

God save me nothing, the insanity I crave
When I awake from hell
Your life will end as well
Insanity I ask
The taste of blood at last

I drown in sleep, cold eyes can't speak (what a waste)
These hours of decay, these hours of decay
The time has come for you to run
I'm gonna take your life, I'm gonna take your life away

As I rot alive in the sleep
A prisoner of hate
Residing here awake

Awake…decay…awake



GODSPEED TO YOUR DEATHBED

A dead mother's eyes
Transfixed in endless sorrow
Hard times to bury a son
Some say we will live on
Hope fills the depths of their hearts
Of blind faith I surely am not

These passing years have stolen my smile
My reflection a stranger

Behind the attic door
Between the silhouettes
The wet kiss of death in the night-time mist
Upon the autumn leaves
Your words are carried to me
I know it kills you that my own hands set me free

These passing years have stolen my smile
My time
My reflection a stranger
Reflection seems stranger
This young shell harbored an old man
Why try?
Set me free from this nightmare

It's over now
Rest your head a while
The fear
Is the illusion of darkness
Death is not the end

Inside decaying eyes
My murdered spirit lies
My body burns with the glow of a funeral pyre
Procession gathered 'round
I never heard a sound
Ash to the wind
Never underground

These passing years have stolen my smile
My time
My reflection a stranger
Reflection seems stranger
This young shell harbored an old man
Why try?
Set me free from this nightmare

It's over now
Rest your head a while
The fear
Is the illusion of darkness
Death is not the end

Burn my flesh off this rotting shell
Grind my bones into dust and ash
Send my soul to oblivion
Erase these hollow fucking years
Cleanse yourself from my putrid life
Become my ghost and kill yourself

It's over now
Rest your head a while
The fear
Is the illusion of darkness
Death is not the end

Do not falter
Pull the trigger
Absolve your wretched existence


BLEEDING ME BLACK

Breathe in
The scent of fruitless bloodlust
Sadist

The innocence bled from loveless malice
Infidelity has brought us full circle
I could dress myself in your skin
You narcissistic whore
I'd rather walk away from this
Than wear the scorn of many.

She sang
She sang to me softly
The copper taste of roses bless my hands

I'm not healing
I'm just living with your ghost
Desecrating
My life, my will
Eternal death

Breathe in
The scent of fruitless bloodlust
Sadist

One last regret of a life so hollow
Burnt to embers
The maniacal spark
Fuel the catalyst
Bringing death to life
My conscience dead forever

Whore

She sang
She sang to me softly
The copper taste of roses bless my hands

She sang
She sang to me softly
The copper taste of roses bless my hands

I left my heart
Open for you to tear away
The drawbridge closing
No more can I keep the wolves at bay
We're fused as one in death as life returns to ashes
I'm drowning in the wake as futile reason crashes…crashes

Alone I drown in tears of drying
Blood as we speak
The crimes between us
Reap our lives they rape us of our
Souls…

Breathe in
The scent of fruitless bloodlust

I will hate you forever
I will hate you forever

Die…die…die…die

REDEMPTION...IS A COLD BODY

Burned in the image of my everlasting torment
(scarred my flesh)
Murderer staked my heart
I'm better off dead than believing
That you could keep
Or want so blindly
A twisted mind
Trapped in a needled body

I keep these etchings on my wall
To remind me of what you've taken
Left me adrift for endless days
In a sea of my past addictions

Would you fix your image
In the reflection of my polished casket?
Or shed a single tear for a hopeless life ended abruptly?

I screamed to deaf ears
It didn't fucking matter
Drained white from empty words
Carved in the heart you shattered

You failed me...

Killer
Murderer
Deny me of closure
These scars won't heal over
Rusted frames
All I had
Pictures of what was
I give to the flames

Watch you burn
Pick up your pieces and burn them all again
The smoldering ash
Embers of the past

Shadows unearthed your truest form
The heights of filth astound me
I cleansed myself of what's not real
I'd die just to pull you from me

Consumed inside
Corroded spirit
Words sear my flesh
Spit from the tongues of liars…
liars…liars…liars…liars

Stretch the skin
Constricted breath
Face down in your world of mirrors

Killer
Murderer
Deny me of closure
These scars won't heal over
Rusted frames
All I had
Pictures of what was
I give to the flames

Watch you burn
Pick up your pieces and burn them all again
The smoldering ash
Embers of the past…scream

The night wore on
In time I saw the sun
Familiar voice elusive
Everything you said rang hollow
We've read this story once
The end a toppled kingdom
I'll tell another lie and you'll believe me

I'm not afraid to die
I'm just barely breathing
Crushed brittle bones to dust
When will we heed the lessons?
lessons…lessons…lessons…lessons

Hell is full
She walks the earth
Face down in your world of mirrors…
Mirrors…

Watch you burn
Pick up your pieces and burn them all again
The smoldering ash
Embers of the past…

MERCHANTS OF THE BLOOD TRADE

Fill our minds with fear to blind us
The hoax is on
There were no weapons
It's a petty revenge
Vindication
Annihilate them
Ninety-one was nothing
This time we'll burn your cities down
We'll turn your blood to democracy
Just like Jesus would do…

So let the children burn
They're only terrorist spawn
The blood crusade is on…
A fool is at the helm
The idiot pilot of the killing machine
Make god and country proud…

Each step of treachery
(Sell your)
A coalition…weak
(Half truths)
Pulpit of lies on holy ground…
(With a smile)
Our young come home in bags
Sent to their death by our own
Who is the real murderer?...
Light

Light the match
Hit the gas
Send them all straight to hell

Light the match
Hit the gas
Send them all straight to hell…

We watch it unfold
(An error of mass destruction)
Like we're living some twisted Tom Wait's song
(The blood is on your hands)
Scream…

So let the children burn
They're only terrorist spawn
The blood crusade is on…
A fool is at the helm
The idiot pilot of the killing machine
Make god and country proud, make god and country proud, make god and country proud
Make god and country proud, make god and country proud, make god and country proud

Burn your nations down
(So many died in a single breath)
For blood and oil
(So many died in a single breath)
Ostracize us
(So many died in a single breath)
Sew our mouths shut
(So many died in a single breath)

A WORLD TO MURDER

When will the hand of God
Choke the life from this world of fools?
Eradicate the masses
Crushed under the weight of failure

Await the deathblow
Ripped from your praying hands
A faith transparent
Liberate us
Decimate us

Our fear blinds
Us to the ones who enslave us
Our world dies
Corruption stands us idle

All our lives
Devoid of meaning
Endless searching
Silent screaming
For our rotting souls
There is no hope

Lower my broken body down
An unmarked grave
Unwanted mourning
I'll keep my death all for myself
Save all your tears for drowning

Await the deathblow
Ripped from your praying hands
A faith transparent
Liberate us
Decimate us

Our fear blinds
Us to the ones who enslave us
Our world dies
Corruption stands us idle

All our lives
Devoid of meaning
Endless searching
Silent screaming
For our rotting souls
There is no hope

You
Force us down
Bind our wrists
Crush our dreams
Your hopeless God is dying

Let the fires rise
Wash our hands with burning temples
Spill your lungs to empty skies
With baited breath weep prayers unanswered

Fear the collective silence
Sever us from time's division
I tread a million miles
Nothing stole the hate from my eyes
Conceived just to die

The blinding faith in your eyes
Your fear
Your lies
You feel that you'll die
A stitch in time
No one to save you

The blinding faith in your eyes
Your fear
Your lies
No one to save you

SELF-INFLICTED SILENCE

They can't hear me…

25 years of my life
In my own prison
Built in my head

25 years of my life
In my own prison
Built in my head…my head

I've given all of me to see
Eyes open
Staring back at me
"A shattered loss," you said
Lives through me…

I wish I could
Crawl inside your skin
Pull and tear and
Make you feel again…

Terrified, born to die
(25 years of my life)
Tell me, are you satisfied?
(in my own prison)
It fills me up, gives me life
(built in my head)
25 year suicide…

25 years of my life
In my own prison
Built in my head

25 years of my life
In my own prison
Built in my head…

How could you leave me here?
(How could you leave me here?)
To bear this pain alone
(You know they'd open scars)
That were better left alone
(Now you will have your way)
I won't fight…I won't fight
Scream…

I've given all of me to see
Eyes open staring back at me…

Terrified, born to die
(25 years of my life)
Tell me, are you satisfied?
(in my own prison)
It fills me up, gives me life
(built in my head)
25 year suicide…
Suicide…suicide…

ASYLUM OF THE HUMAN PREDATOR

Save me one time won't you
Take this blackened heart and make it whole
I don't fear for what I am
Is the fall of man

Rape and worship

Life breeds death and disease
Empathy out of reach
We all wash with rain of blood skies
Pervert words that we read
Blind men die for beliefs
Fall back in the pit of tangled masses

Save me one time won't you
Take this blackened heart and make it whole
I don't fear for what I am
Is the fall of man

Sewn land of the free
Live in the shit you bathe yourself
God of your world
This piss stained mortuary hole
Just look around
We are the sheep left shepherd-less
True and perverse
We are the teeming maggots

We are the collective scar across the face of existence itself
We are the murderer the rapist the plague
Consumed by hatred and loathing

Life breeds death and disease
Empathy out of reach
We all wash with the rain of blood skies

Time soils our will
It breaks us down with every war
Child fucking priest
Religious zealots fuel the whore
The common man bleeds
Into the trough of those made rich
The pure and the sick
Kneel side by side as seconds tick

Dead God
Can't you save us?
Doesn't lift a finger for us now
The blood is on our hands

No more time
No more reason
No more lies
It's time we burn

Save me one time won't you
Take this blackened heart and make it whole
I don't fear for what I am
Is the fall of man

Rape and worship

SOUL REVULSION

You can't stop and end this shit
Starts going
You can't fight against it
Poisoned thoughts led you astray
Nodding off into the gray
Fight your fears
A useless crutch
Relief a needle shot away

You do it everyday
(Pent up shoot up)
Those games that you still play
(Poison yourself)
You give your heart and soul away
(You'll kick again tomorrow)
It's just an empty promise

I can't wait to see you there
In a pool of yourself
You're too high to care
All I see of you
Glassy eyes
Begging for another chance
Sold your soul long ago
Rot your brain
Stab the vein
Kill the pain
Gave up on you a long time ago

You do it everyday
(Pent up shoot up)
Those games that you still play
(Poison yourself)
You give your heart and soul away
(You'll kick again tomorrow)
It's just an empty promise

Soul revulsion…soul revulsion…soul revulsion…
Soul revulsion…soul revulsion…soul revulsion…soul revulsion…

When will you realize
How you look through other people's eyes
Slave to mind and body rot
In it's clutches you are caught
So you thought
All I see of you
Glassy eyes
Begging for another chance
Gave upon you a long time ago

You do it everyday
(Pent up shoot up)
Those games that you still play
(Poison yourself)
You give your heart and soul away
(You'll kick again tomorrow)
It's just an empty promise

Soul revulsion…soul revulsion…soul revulsion…
Soul revulsion…soul revulsion…soul revulsion…soul revulsion…

SWALLOW THE STITCHES

I stood and watched the ocean breathe
For the millionth time it swallowed me
I care not to feel; I'm dying

Flash back to what you did to me
Flash back to what you said to me
Did your work
I can't touch; I can't feel.

My sanity is breaking
Sweat dripping, mind racing
There's nothing left to lose
(I'm a dead shell)
Erase you
You gave me lies.

It tears a hole inside you
(lies)
Where light will never find you
(lies)
Abuse yourself
(LIES)
Inject yourself
A broken, brittle body…scream

It won't leave me alone - alone.

Flash back to what you did to me
Flash back to what you said to me
Did your work
I can't touch; I can't feel.

Reject me
Why?...why?

Caress my face
Only to crucify me
I am your slave fixation pulsing
Punish me.

Tie me up
Cut me up
Stitch me up
Reopen me
Come alone
Crawl inside
I only want to come in you…in you…

Disgust to purify
Kill you a thousand times.

It tears a hole inside you
(lies)
Where light will never find you
(lies)
Abuse yourself
(LIES)
Inject yourself
A broken, brittle body.

It won't leave me alone…alone

Disgust to purify
Kill you a thousand times.

Alone…alone

OPEN EYES TO OPEN WOUNDS

Open my scars…open my eyes

The sick (the sick)
Deserted (deserted)
The hollow
Fall further

I burn these tracks that I've laid
Dried out for days
To stare into the sun
I'm trapped within these four walls
Pacing I step
Fear what I've become

Where were
You when
I was
Dying?
None are we innocent
Blinded and malevolent
You choked
My breath
I was
Gasping
God save the motherless
Absolve the sickness through death

From the dark womb
To the cradle
In a mortal
Of the needle
We are the motherless
Ride the spiral
Chase the dragon
Endless miles…

I die…
A little more each day
This forced separation
Addiction
Regression
Suspended animation
Of life to death transition

I bit from the poisoned apple

You left me here to
Die…die…die
A shroud of sorrow
Die…die…die…
Bit through the marrow

So here we are
Here we'll stay until we die or fall apart
The horror covers me again…

All my dreams are dust
The future seen through grey eyes
Foreboding taste of death
My life, a sad façade

All resistance weak
Just push the poison in
Damage irreparable
I'll never get out whole

And the lie I bought proved my mortality
The hell is never ending
This is the death of me…

Open my eyes

From the dark womb
To the cradle
In a mortal
Of the needle
We are the motherless
Ride the spiral
Chase the dragon
Endless miles…

The end is extremely fucking nigh…
The end is extremely fucking nigh…

SHADOWS OF VANITY

Re-iginite the fires I'm set to burn
They stack the odds at every turn
So drop another needle
Get your head a little clearer
Lipstick stains on your cocaine mirror

Hold it in
A bitter taste
Spit it out
You've got to run while you can
Restraint thrown to the wind
Never an escape for those who play this game
Suffice to say If you sell your soul to the man in black
Then surely you must know his name

One more shot
One more line
One more fix and I'll be fine
My god I've got a gun against my head

A rusted blade to file
Draws a bitter sting
For failures taste is far too plain
Temptations just an alley length away
You'll kick a thousand times today

Hold it in
A bitter taste
Spit it out
You've got to run while you can
Restraint thrown to the wind
Never a chance that you could win

An epitaph of lust excess
Dreams turn to death
A once wide-eyed starlet
Buried ghost white harlot

One more shot
One more line
One more fix and I"ll be fine
My God I've got a gun against my head

We are the peddlers of flesh
Buying dreams but selling death
I'd like to watch it all burn down

It's going to kill you
It's going to kill me
In vanity we see how small we are

Hands glides across the wall
Broken nails fit a broken doll
Rope burns across her neck
Refection shattered as her fist went through it

They like to criticize you
Ask for help?
They'll deny you
Just once I'd like to turn the tide

The killer dwells inside me
It's begging to be set free
Concrete and steel won't hold me down

One more shot
One more line
One more fix and I"ll be fine
My God I've got a gun against my head

We are the peddlers of flesh
Buying dreams but selling death
I'd like to watch it all burn down
Burn down

MY EXIT IN RED

I've bled myself a river red
And I'll bleed for you no longer
Time will not be kept my master
My riddled body shakes
The fear inside me breaks
The arrowed tongue beckons me…crawl

Enslaved my bitter soul
A hundred knives cutting stabbing
My brittle bones
Ground in the gears of addiction

I've seen the end
Through many miles of long dead road
Leading nowhere
Have I stayed for too long?
Hold fast the moorings break
So frail the chains
You can't heal the wounds I've spent years on
So callous in our shame

Blind to what I hide
Grip the wheel lead footed
Straight to my demise
No sympathy when the addict dies

I've seen the end
Through many miles of long dead roads
Leading nowhere
Beneath the river bed
A scarlet rive red
Flowing cold from the hole in my head

The lives that we make are only a prelude to our graves
A shell of a man takes his shot
Just one shot to the face
I'm blind to what I need
My resolve fast fading
Stomach knots
Evisceration
My god can't you set me free?
Lord end this tragedy

I've seen the end
Through many mile of long dead roads
Beneath the river bed
A Scarlet river red
Flowing cold from the hole in my head
My exit in red
Grant peace to me

LAY DOWN YOUR ARMS

Constricting
Choked breathing
Serrated wounds left bleeding

(Why?)
The dead fall through empty eyes
(Scorch my black skies)
Escape with your life

I touch my hand to the fire
The numb seductress
Splintering decay

Burning numbered days
Feed on my blood until you get your fill
(Bear down and sink in)
Drain me until my empty eyes turn still
(Come take your vengeance)
Such a vibrant heart
Blackened now, I left my mark

Give triumph to the poison
My lies were my own choices
Deaf ears can't kill these voices

(Oceans burn)
My time of losing
(Cities fall)
What am I chasing?
(Tear down walls)
Yet I don't see you on the other side
I still breathe your scent
A twisting blade
The fading light dies

Guilt, liars
Chase this shot of gasoline with fire
The fall and rebirth of the vile
One false step
One man down

Your words are daggers piercing through my soul
(I hear a calling)
Changing as your perfect skin turns cold
(Dead leaves are falling)
Our time was cut short by the ones you trusted
Bought their lies

I'm not a fallen man
Blood drawn from praying hands
Against me take you stand

(Oceans burn)
My time of losing
(Cities fall)
What am I chasing?
(Tear down walls)
Yet I don't see you on the other side
I still breathe your scent
A twisting blade
The fading light dies

On this night I fall
(I know you are listening)
Take me back to your prison
I got a taste for these four walls

Come on…
Take me back to your prison
I got no taste for life

Come on and take me back…

(Oceans burn)
My time of losing
(Cities fall)
What am I chasing?
(Tear down walls)
Yet I don't see you on the other side
I still breathe your scent
A twisting knife

THE SPIRAL

A writhing sleep
A waiting gun
A black premonition
A crow to follow home…

So here we are again
The fork carved in the road
White knuckles grip the wheel
A full liquor tank set to blow

I'm not afraid
I don't give a fuck if I live or die
I just want to see twisted metal
The broken glass shards right through my eyes
For salvations a bullet ride
Not a stained glass prison of lies

Are you afraid?
You can't make it home
The cracked façade of love has left you stained black
Rotting and cold

So drink up
Let the acid burn
Deaf…numb…blind
Serenity in a gutter sleep
They'll make you feel at home
In the absence of the truth
The only hole you'll get
Is in the comfort of the noose

She's soaking wet
This love's a crime
But goddamn it, it feels good
To watch the fear take over her eyes

So drink up
Let the acid burn
Deaf…numb…blind
Serenity in a gutter sleep
Serenity in a gutter sleep

A velvet lining
(a velvet lining)
Some words of prayer
(some words of prayer)
Such a merciful God
(to the sheep-like minions)
Thumbs his nose in the air 1234!!!

This ship of fools is going under
A broken mast impales the martyr
A blood red sky bled from our father
The spiral turns wine to water…scream

Stained life from this debt
Take my last breath
Stained life from this debt
Take my last breath
Stained life from this debt
Take my last breath
Stained life from this debt
Take my last breath…breath

Are you afraid?
You can't make it home
The cracked façade of love has left you stained black
Rotting and cold

So drink up
Let the acid burn
Deaf…numb…blind
Serenity in a gutter sleep

IN THE ABSENCE OF FIRE

You've got a heart like a loaded gun
Shed the skin and spare your eyes from what I've done
So you've got a game to play?
The deck is stacked so I'll walk away
I'm haunted by my lust for your taste…

Cutting myself feels right
Sometimes I don't know if I'm alive
A siren haunting once silent shores
Weighted me down in the brine
I'd toss the key to my own shackles
To taste your lips just one last time

You've got a heart like a loaded gun
Shed the skin and spare your eyes from what I've done
So you've got a game to play?
The deck is stacked so I'll walk away
I'm haunted by my lust for your taste

Blind men can't stare in wonder
Her snaking hips will pull you under
A burning kiss tastes of gasoline
Well on my way to the pyre
Just strike the match, my love
I'd die just to burn in your fire
In the absence of your fire...

The blackest waves will take my ship away
The spiraling decay of all we had
My angel, tie my noose of blackened halos
With every waking breath
I die a little more
Cover my mouth
Sink your teeth in
I'll still love you blindly

Clawing at the walls that cage me
Why couldn't you just forgive me?
I know your hate
I've been there
It gets no better with every passing day…
With every passing day…

BETWEEN THE DEAD AND THE DECEIVED

I have opened my eyes to a world against me
A futile, weak offensive
Met head on with crushing malice
I'd live one more day just to watch you die
For contempt my savior
I was not a cross that you'd bear

I am your bastard child
You see me in your eyes
Suffered your life
I have
Drunk fucking liar

Into the arms of God
Willingly let you fall
For your place is hell
You left me there I know it well
Why have you forsaken me?
I was lost
Reared by a father's fist
Lived the lie
Paid the cost

I am your bastard child
You see me in your eyes
Suffered your life
I have
Drunk fucking liar

I am your bastard child
You see me in your eyes
Suffered your life
I have
Drunk fucking liar

Crush all the ones who've wronged you
Rip out the tongue that scorned you
Therein redemption lies
Let them burn

(Let them burn)
Cut the marrow, taste the barrel, end the sorrow
(Let them burn)
Light the fire, hang the martyr, stack the pyre

FOR THE TAKING

Adapt
Submit
Your thoughts are not your own
Defined by fear
You relish in the role of victim

You really think I'd let you get away?
I might be bruised and bleeding
Long forgotten
One foot in the grave

Stand up, stand down
I'll cut you at your knees
There's always a place to run to
But doesn't pride slow your feet?

Time has forsaken me
Go live your mundane life and never
Never look back
I'm still alive
You should have let me die

So goddamn ripe for the taking
Your…
Your aims not true when you're shaking

No need to dwell in what made me feel safe
My fire for you burned me
Left alive
A blackening stain
Rips apart
An open heart
Downed prey for carrion flocks
Don't try to pick out my eyes
By my hand you'll surely die

Time has forsaken me
Go live your mundane life and never
Never look back
I'm still alive
You should have let me die

So goddamn ripe for the taking
Your…
Your aims not true when you're shaking

Adapt
Submit
Your thoughts are not your own
Defined by fear
Your relish in the role of victim

Have you ever felt like you'll die all alone?
A black premonition that your life's been sold?
Some cruel puppet master broke your soul
Ripped out your ten dollar heart of gold

All falling down
Burning leaves
Put to fire with all our dreams
How can I tear you out and not bleed?
How can an open wound sustain me?

I've been resting here for days…
There's always a place to run to
Yet the places keep getting smaller and smaller

MERCILESS

Yesterdays gone
Or so I was told
Tomorrows just another day old
I'm drawing hordes with pointing fingers
Stepping on the bones of another dead ringer

I know you all wish me hell behind your plastic smiles
A broken jaw will slow your tongue
You're too green to walk this mile

The pain instilled
(My fist of retribution)
I take what I want, when I feel
(From where I stand your nothing)

Choose wise the ones who turn the screws
(I'll burn you down and smile)
For I've nothing to lose
A belly full
A silver spoon
A heretic inside your room
I've broken bigger men without much effort
Cut off the ties I've severed

So all at once or one at a time
A hollow point to erase your mind
No warning shot to quicken haste
Just fucking die

The pain instilled
(My fist of retribution)
I take what I want, when I feel
(From where I stand your nothing)

Slain by the hand you left stained
Merciless in my hate

Don't appeal to me
For all I'll do is watch it bleed
Destroy another life for crimes so petty
Can't take back the life you buried
Open yourself to me and I'll recoil

The crippled lamb
The whoring daughter
The royal prince that's bred for slaughter
Cut from a cloth long since discarded
Expired time for which you bartered

You'll find no pity in my eyes
I'd just as soon watch you drown
In this kingdom of shit
Built to reach the skies

The pain instilled
(My fist of retribution)
I take what I want, when I feel
(From where I stand your nothing)

Slain by the hand you left stained
Merciless in my hate
Merciless in my hate

A SILENT PRAYER FOR THE HAUNTED

Daylight four days you're gone still chasing sleep
Black specters born from dark shadows in my mind

One step to the edge
I'm taking
The remnants of who I used to be
My still blackened skies
You've got to burn your eyes to see

Unguarded thoughts betray a frail mind
So what if I lost all compassion?
(Just like you) Would you make me a martyr?
I'm not afraid to die
Shut me up with some new damage

One step to the edge
I'm taking
The remnants of who I used to be
My still blackened skies
You've got to burn your eyes to see

Flowers for an empty grave
To your knees to brush away
An epitaph you just can't say
Between the leaves reads your name

The tide has washed you back to me
Into my arms lay you down to sleep

Call it love or just revenge
A fitting end for us, my friend
Time for mending came and went

I tore you from my heart
So just walk away
I tried to open your eyes
Your soul was shackled since the point of inception
There is no grace
So just fall away
The hourglass spans the length of a life time

One step to the edge
I'm taking
The remnants of who I used to be
My still blackened skies
You've got to burn your eyes to see

One step to the edge
I'm taking
The remnants of who I used to be
My still blackened skies
You've got to burn your eyes to see…
