Bow Down
Talk to me in howling whispers, where its cold without the sun
paving the way for when the harbinger comes
seeking, your forewarning
is it my fate you seek
are you the blight of me
I let the darkness tear a hole in me
dragged underneath the demons taunting me
I let the rot set inside and grow through
taking me over I became consumed
Bow down to thee
Bow down to the man you thought you've never be
Bow to thee
Consumed by the earth for better or worse
hand in hand, its only for the weak
Bow to me
Bow down to the man you thought you'd never be
Bow down
Purge myself of poison tongues, a truth I've never known
No place to lay my head, no place to call home
pull me screaming out of the light
and drag me bleeding into the darkness
I paid my dues but still I find myself here (find myself here)
These hidden places where we live in fear (live in fear)
My minds confined to places colder than hell itself
Come lead me out of the darkness
Bow down to thee
Bow down to the man you thought you've never be
Bow to thee
Consumed by the earth for better or worse
hand in hand, its only for the weak
Bow to me
Bow down to the man you thought you'd never be
Take my hand, come lead me out of the darkness
Take my hand, come show me there's a path to the real things
Bow down to thee
Bow down to the man you thought you've never be
Bow to thee
Consumed by the earth for better or worse
Bow to me
Bow to me
Bow to me
Just bow to me

From the Void
04:49
|
|
||
Enter the falsified ones, the elected reapers of fear
Trust is thrown to the dirt
A world where allegiance is earned through blood and tears
Bleak day of a new age
Harvest they whither and die
But there's a light staring back from the void
A single flame within all that's destroyed
The wheel grinding at skin, slave driven
The flock most lethargic into the fray
Zeitgeist of these dark days
Hollow men and forgotten strays
I pass this torch to you
A single flame, enough to start an inferno
I speak these words of truth, never doubt them
Brand them into your soul to live by
I pass this torch to you
The beast cannot be tamed
This conflagration consuming corruption
I speak these words of truth, never doubt them
Brand them into your soul to die by
We are the worms beneath their feet
Surfacing to greet a new dawn
We are the seasons of change
An oncoming storm
We were doomed from the start, not to live, but exist
Taught to ignore compassion and speak with our fists
Conditions and processed, force fed fate
We are the progenies of our world, built on hate
Dull eyes and sunken cheeks
Emaciated with stone worn feet
We press on, collectively as one the truth revealed
The suited snakes are not the ones we once feared
I pass this torch to you
A single flame, enough to start an inferno
I speak these words of truth, never doubt them
Brand them into your soul to live by
I pass this torch to you
The beast cannot be tamed
This conflagration consuming corruption
I speak these words of truth, never doubt them
Brand them into your soul to die by
Exit, de-elect
Demode and deselect
I pass this torch to you
A single flame, enough to start an inferno
I speak these words of truth, never doubt them
Brand them into your soul to live by
I pass this torch to you
The beast cannot be tamed
This conflagration consuming corruption
I speak these words of truth, never doubt them
Brand them into your soul to die by
We are the worms beneath their feet
Surfacing to greet a new dawn
We are the seasons of change
An oncoming storm
We are the verses of change

Threadbare

Release me, this bondage of self
Distorted reality
Darkest the day
I'm crawling through knives
Wearing the mask, pretending to be
Fallen
To new fucking lows
My heart hangs so heavy in shame
We throw out our hands, with hopes of peace and resolve
Swallow the truth, destruction of me
Free me
I can't breath
Free me
Can hardly see
Free me
I can barely fucking breath
Bare your soul
Threadbare
The times I've tried to be a fucking man
I beg you to save me
The times I've tried
The aching inside
I beg you to save me
Bare your soul
Threadbare
Bare your soul
Threadbare
Free me
I can't breath
Free me
Can hardly see
Free me
I can barely fucking breath in here
The times I've tried to be a fucking man
I beg you to save me
The times I've tried
The aching inside
I beg you to save me
Give it all back
Throw it all back
Step inside
Give it all back, throw it all back
Give it all
Give it all back, throw it all back
Give it all
Give it all back, throw it all back
Give it all back
And throw it back to me
Give it all back
Throw it all back
Step inside
Give it all back, throw it all back
Give it all
Give it all back, throw it all back
Give it all
Give it all back, throw it all back
Give it all back
And throw it back to me
Today I woke with a plea to purge this black fucking dog
I can see the sun above me, but the rain clouds divide us
Society preaching to raise your chin and smile
But I refuse you, I disown your toxic ways
I bare my heart to all and scream
I beg you to save me
Bare your soul
Threadbare
Bare your soul
Threadbare

The Becoming
04:56
|
|

The sky is falling and I can't stop smiling
We heard it coming for a fucking age
I'm not sorry I'll never be
So just remember that, remember that
When the end is staring back
All that's left here is fear
You see the hours are counting down
You must have known this for years
I gave you my will
Becoming something were not
Another progeny
I gave you my will
Becoming something I never asked for
Never again
We Become
This is a god damn righteous superficial plea
Dishonest wishes and blatant indecency
I might as well shut up and kick down the door
Reveal yourself I see you now
When your end is staring back
All that's left now is fear
Don't you all feel happy now
You must have known this for years
I gave you my will
Becoming something were not
Another progeny
I gave you my will
Becoming I never asked for
Never again
That crooked smile that draws you in
That draws you in
That crooked smile that draws you in
That crooked smile
Go
I gave you my will
Becoming something were not
Another progeny
I gave you my will
Becoming I never asked for
Never again
Never Again
We Become
We Become

They Come at Night
05:33
|
|

You'll never see them when they come at night
My life, my silence, my pride
I climbed the ladder just to fall back down
It's never easy when you live in spite
Voices will tell you you're wrong
Voices will destroy your state of mind
Message that you see, still unclear to me
It's never for you to decide
Message that you see, still unclear to me
It's never for you to decide.
They come at night
For me
They come at night
Its never easy when they scream in spite
Resisting but you know it's just lies
Saying goodbye to the real things
The very reason you're still breathing
This test of faith
Liars they'll drag you down
The hurt traverses onto hallowed ground
Hallowed ground
Message that you see, still unclear to me
It's never for you to decide
Message that you see, still unclear to me
It's never for you to decide.
They come at night
For me
They come at night
Fuck
Message that you see, still unclear to me
It's never for you to decide
Message that you see, still unclear to me
It's never for you to decide
This test of faith
Just scream in spite
I wait for them to come at night
Message that you see, still unclear to me
It's never for you to decide
Message that you see, still unclear to me
It's never for you to decide
They come at night
For me
They come at night
For me
They come at night
For me
They come at night
For me

I'm Gone
04:45

Desperate times call for desperate measures
My fists are scrapping tarmac
Dust kicking up all around
Gather your thoughts or else
You won't escape this
There's a virus inside my veins with pure maniacal intentions
Portrayals of a distant life memories of a fading ghost
I've paid my dues you don't get it so lost within your own shit
Goodbye to the darkest days
I refuse to let them stay
Well I'm gone
We live because the fear of the end
Well I'm gone
Never think you've won the war because you're still breathing
I'm gone
We live because the fear of the end
Yes I'm gone
Never think you won the war
We screamed for days until our throats fell apart
Believed in poisoned tongues the death of who we are
Returning senses bring with them emotions long lost
The light returning in due time
In due time
Well I'm gone
We live because the fear of the end
Yes I'm gone
Never think you won the war
Further down that road
Into the night, into the night and I'm gone
You'll find me at the wayside
Further down that road
Into the night, into the night and I'm gone
You'll find me at the wayside
Desperate times call for action when the siren bell goes off
Return to form you realise there's no going back
There's no turning back from here
Failure to comply
You fail to follow me
This long dark road it could go anywhere
Anywhere
Further down that road
Into the night, into the night and I'm gone
You'll find me at the wayside
Further down that road
Into the night, into the night and I'm gone
You'll find me at the wayside
You'll find me at the wayside
Further down that road
Into the night, into the night and I'm gone
You'll find me at the wayside
Further down that road
Into the night, into the night and I'm gone
You'll find me at the wayside
When I'm fucking gone
Ha ha ha ha
Never think you won the war because you're still breathing
I'm Gone
Never think you won the war because you're still breathing
I'm

Leap of Faith
04:28
|
|
||
A lost soul stares at the mirror
Old fractures distorts his face
But within this feeling intrinsic
If left alone is he another statistic
Have you ever laid your eyes on this world
He screams, pray for me
Struck down with no place left to turn
He's screaming, pray for me
Destitute the sickness has bettered him
Screaming silence the deserted one
Blind sighted by the light that's flooding in
The past traumas again discouraging
In the dark recesses of this world
Behind closed doors he resides forlorn
Cold to the touch, inside he resembles nothing
Don't take my life
Don't take my soul
It's not my time
Have you ever laid your eyes on this world
He screams, pray for me
Struck down with no place left to turn
He's screaming, pray for me
Have you ever laid your eyes on this world
He screams, pray for me
Struck down with no place left to turn
He's screaming
Take this leap of faith
Take this leap of faith
This leap of faith
This leap of faith
Have you ever laid your eyes on this world
He screams, pray for me
Struck down with no place left to turn
Hes screaming, pray for me
Have you ever laid your eyes on this world
He screams, pray for me
Struck down with no place left to turn
He's screaming, pray for me

Subjugation
04:15

Subjugation of the feral mind
Attrition coming an allegiance to a better life
So shut your mouth I said now get in line
Hands of the deaf and eyes of the blind
Use words as weapons enemy unseen
Whitehouse's ridden with cold blooded fiends
The war cries tears acidic scenes
while snakes dwell at the feet of the deceived.
This is the end of our lives
Decimation of order
Truth is thrown to the wind
This is the end of our lives
Another dawn of mourning
We dance on the ashes of a generations future in flames
Precarious peace this future so bleak
This vengeance is rising from under our feet
These viral beliefs divided we seek
The haste of a thousand won't stop the machine
This procreation of discouraged ones
The bodies lie there bleached beneath the dying sun
This doctrine is unholy
This scripture is flawed
The price you pay with the blood of the blind
Another century killing a bitter divine
Meditations on suffering
Prayer strengthening evil
Subjugation of the feral minds
procreation of obedient spawn
Subjugation of the feral minds
procreation of obedient spawn
This is the end of our lives
decimation of order
Truth is thrown to the wind
This is the end of our lives
Another dawn of mourning
We dance on the ashes of a generations future
In flames

The Only One
05:06

Another day inside this hell I call my head
Thoughts racing a swear my own head wants me dead
Cover my ears but still the voices scream so loud
I'm fading away, fading invisible in this realm
I'm drowning, I'm sinking
the light is leaving me
I cant see anymore cuz
I'm bleeding, I'm screaming
Won't you believe in me
I'm drowning, I'm sinking
the light is leaving me
I cant see anymore cuz
I'm bleeding, I'm screaming
Would you believe in me
Pain, is taking over, becomes a part of me
Am I, the only one
Pain, is my life over, is this the end for me
Am I, the only one
Am I speaking in tongues, you don't you get it
I made it clear the first time what do you expect
Dissipated words, don't forget it
You can accept the trauma but not the effect
I cut ties with my own mind, but the cycle just repeats again and again.
I drown the bottle and swallow these pills
throw myself to the floor and count to ten
I'm drowning, I'm sinking
the light is leaving me
I cant see anymore cuz
I'm bleeding, I'm screaming
Would you believe in me
I'm drowning, I'm sinking
the light is leaving me
I cant see anymore cuz
I'm bleeding, I'm screaming
Would you believe in me
Pain, is taking over, becomes a part of me
Am I, the only one
Pain, is my life over, is this the end for me
Am I, the only one
Dragged through the waters drowning me
The hand of mercy failing me
Is this the end is my life done
Am I the only one
Dragged through the waters drowning me
The hand of mercy failing me
Is this the end is my life done
Am I the only one
Pain, is taking over, becomes a part of me
Am I, the only one
Pain, is my life over, is this the end for me
Am I, the only one

Reign
Set sights to the bleeding child
Who will never get the chance to shine
Humanities last breath will sign the eulogy
Prayers of the ignorant will fall on deaf ears
Pain
We'll seal the deal when lies exposes all
Fuck your maker
These hollow eyes have witnessed truth
Fuck your maker
These hollow eyes have witnessed
We are so much more than the wars
of the playing hands in their promise lands
Pushing further to reclaim what we lost
Further
My god I've seen it all
I swear these monkeys run the show
Trapped in the driving seat
Collision, inevitable
Don't hold your tongue my friend its time to take sides
Such fallacy gone on too long
Fuck your maker
These hollow eyes have witnessed truth
Fuck your maker
These hollow eyes have witnessed
We are so much more than the wars
of the playing hands in their promise lands
Pushing further to reclaim what we lost
Further
We are so much fucking more
Say goodbye
Say goodbye
Fuck
We are so much more than the wars
of the playing hands in their promise lands
Pushing further to reclaim what we lost
Further
Fuck your maker
Fuck your maker
Say goodbye

Senses they're leaving me
They're deceiving me
This mindset no longer appeals to me
Search for something new
Peace of mind for you
You're protecting the many and fuck the few
Crooked men in ivory towers
Crooked men in ivory towers
Send forth the plague
Counting down the final hours
Misplacing our trust with their new found power
New found power
Signal the final hour
What lies, behind the curtain
Death beds, in the thousands
Dormant minds, stagnant lives
Future so cynical
Crooked men in ivory towers
Send forth the plague
Counting down the final hours
Misplacing our trust with their new found power
Sending out false hope
Denying us freedom
Deprived of the sunlight
None of them breathing
Helplessly lying
With no one around
Our families are dying
Faces under shrouds
Crooked men in ivory towers
Send forth the plague
Counting down the final hours
Send forth the plague
Crooked men in ivory towers
Counting down the final hour
Misplacing our trust with their new found
Power
Crooked men in ivory towers
Crooked men in ivory towers
