Consumed 05:50
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 Heavy breathing

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 04:06
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

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

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

Nightingale 04:47
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
