- In The Desert
We'll fight this cause
Even if it kills us
The temperature is rising
But our lungs will not collapse
Here in the desert
There's nothing to run from
Nothing to hide from
So lets rock the casbah
- A Portrait For The Deceased
Piano wire strangling our necks
We are both silenced
And we’re sure this does not add up
Still we try and place our bets
We’re sure this does not add up
Still we’re dying
To make that call
Our people versus yours
- Alpha Omega
Son of God, hangman's pawn.
Control our lives
With fairytales and shallow lies.
You say we'll burn in hell.
Spiteful preacher, I know you well.
Desperation Breathes and Follows you home,
Look around, you're not alone.
One life and one chance, the world in front of me.
- Alpha Omega сука бля залить Gravedigger
Son of god, hangman's pawn.
Control our lives with fairytales and shallow lies.
You say we'll burn in hell.
Spiteful preacher, I know you well.
Desperation breathes and follows you home,
just look around, you're not alone.
One life, one chance, the world in front of me.
- Always
If only you were here to hold my head above bloody waters
We could make it through
You turned your back on me and now I do the same to you
You made me feel so hollow
How can the man that you looked up to turn around and say three words that hurt more than you'll ever know
You don't know what it feels like to be in my shoes
You turned your back on me as I stood there and fell to the floor
This time there's no reason for me to turn around and scream for help
- An Open Letter To Myself
Always the one with a face one
Always the one with never enough
He was the boy that broke our trust
Because he was never around enough
We sit around and hear these stories
Wishing we were somewhere else
How I wish that I could find the words to save this
- Behind The Throne
Sowing the seeds.
Roots dig deep, whilst we sleep.
Snakes in veins, valves decay.
All of the meaningless words we say.
Cast the first stone, from behind the throne.
Crown of thorns, now overgrown.
All our wants and needs, bring us to our knees.
- Black Blood
We've found a taste for self-destruction
A blind eye for blatant disfunction
We've found a taste for self-destruction
We're born in black blood
There's an imminence stirring like a siren singing
There's a debt to pay but they keep on drilling
Why simple truth so hard to tell
- Broken Clocks
falling into stringencies
i never thought that i would be here
dependance on, the evenings
im out of touch
its too late to hide what you kept hid
what explains with words were crooks
im falling out,
im falling out,
- btn
BTN
It’s run down
The back of my head
The back of my mind
About a hundred thousand times
And I can’t
Seem to shake it
- Buried At Sea
Send my regards to you and yours
I'm not coming back for you
And i'll hold onto the last memory of you
I'll hold onto you and bury you at sea
How can you watch me split in two?
You've done this before, you know me oh too well
Send my regards to you and yours
And no hope will come from this
- Cracks In The Earth
In the bigger picture I've been painted out
Cracks in the earth blacken the sea
No canvas is reserved for me
Look up close and try to see
In every stroke lies past alone
Too close to home
Cutting too close to bone
- Day In Day Out
The years I put into this
It could take a second
To tear down years of work
And we won't get these days
Back again (back again)
I can't understand why I've been put here
I'm stuck in a world of sympathy
- Daybreak
Navigation in nautical twilight,
separation from what we know is right.
The wind was taking us in the wrong direction,
Its about time we showed some disaffection.
Carry the weight of thousands of years.
Turn the page, lets make it all disappear.
We've had enough of inhibited progression,
- Dead March
I've watched you from a distance but never spoken a word
I have seen every flaw your try to hide from the world
I sit silent in shadows watching the paths you have made
If only you knew my intentions
I've watched you make the same mistakes over and over
This is not healthy
I need to some how stop this
But your beauty intrigues me
- Delete, Rewind
We are the misguided youth
They've backed us into a corner
All our lives we’ve been infected
They should have never had a chance
- Dethroned
Another cold dark night, left alone
Your arrogance will lead to the death of you
I'll be the one to pull your head back down
Remove your hollow Crown
So far from the truth you hide away
I'll be the one to pull your head back down
Remove your hollow crown
I'll die happy knowing that I will never be anything like you
- Devil's Island
This is your country,
This is your home,
This is the house where you grew up alone.
The city streets,
you used to love,
are bruised and broken,
are black and blue.
- Early Grave
I've been out for so long, days slipped by again
And I can't sleep since I stopped caring
I'll stay out until my lungs bleed
And I can't tell daylight from streetlights anymore
As he cast his shadow
I've seen this road a thousand times and I can't look back
I've seen this road a thousand times and I can't, I'm not looking back
- Even If You Win, You're Still A Rat
Your life is ending, one minute at a time,
check the clock and stand in line.
Hibernate, till your life's passed you by.
Please stop living like you're waiting to die.
Keep up, don't get left behind.
Don't slip up, chase that finish line.
They don't want you believing that your life deserves a meaning.
- Every Last Breath
After all is said and done
I'm left with reflections of your eyes, haunting my mind
So dead inside, what good came out of this?
I was the one that tore you down,
- Feather Of Lead
The sick get sicker while the rich get richer.
Capital greed paired with vestigial superstition.
The sick get sicker while the rich get richer.
Angels and demons, money and munitions.
Your left wing clipped,
buy a gun for jesus.
Opportunities for all those willing to pay.
- Follow The Water
Can I blame it on you?
I just can't win
Two years spent wondering through the loneliest of minds
Can't seem to find a good excuse this time, for me and for this to fall apart
Shall I blame it on myself, or this routine that I've been stuck in?
I've lost count of how many times I've tried to get out of this routine
- Heartburn
Heartburn
Burn everything you have
And leave it all behind
Lose all your inhibitions
I’ll take the mess you made
And make it beautiful
If time only stood still forever
- Heartless
How can you stand there and look me in the eye?
Tell me that you knew it was coming for us
I know that you said I was all you ever wanted
But you pushed me overboard
Into knee deep water
And you didn't throw the anchor of hope
You pushed me overboard
Without concern for what I was feeling inside
- Hollow Crown
There, there must be
An easier way
To release these feelings
So, so far from home
I need your voice
To hold my head together
- Hunt Them Down
Hunt them down before it's too late
Now is the times to make the most of their pain
They deserve it for all that they have ruined for you
Don't think or say anything
Don't hold back, you'll regret this night
It's all over
Don't make the same mistake twice
Finish them now
- I Can't See The Light
For weeks I've felt lost and I can't see the light
Shining through the darkest of days
What can I do to stop myself from hiding my thoughts
From this world of lies?
I've felt so lost for far too long
Trying to leave it all behind
I find I cannot forgive myself for feeling like this
How can I even begin to forgive myself for all the things I'm thinking of doing to you?
- In Elegance
Take your time to find me
I can't promise where I'll be
These nights I felt so restless
Tonight I feel useless
Take your time to find me
I can't promise where I'll be
These nights I feel so restless
- Learn To Live
Place yourself out, stop living, stop living.
To get our backs, that's where you want to be.
I never paid much attention to them.
Every time they push us aside we jump back up again,
Yeah we made it through the rain just to live another day
Without them.
- Left With A Last Minute
It feels like someone is following my every footstep around every corner,
And there are times when I know I've felt someone else with me.
I swear I've felt your breath down the back of my neck once before.
I swear I've felt your breath down the back of my neck once before.
I'm never giving up till I find you.
I'll never rest until I find you.
- Momento Mori
As above, so below.
Dismantled piece by piece, what's left will not decease.
As within, so without.
The seasons bring relief.
Let me live and die in piece.
I will be consumed, returned into the earth.
Only passing through, nothing left to hold on to.
- North Lane
I don't feel homesick, I'm just so sick of home
It's here that reminds me of everything we've been through
And it tears me down
It makes me sick of being who I am, of who I cannot be
A constant reminder
I don't feel homesick, I'm just so sick of home
It's here that reminds me of everything we've been through
Cold nights, again left alone
- Numbers Count For Nothing
Every other question youll never find the answer to
They can hear us but we will never see them
Do you feel safe?
Do you even understand me?
Do you even understand me?
We make no difference when numbers count for nothing
- Outsider Heart
I close my eyes and take a deep breath,
try to find my place in this.
Digging teeth into the hand that feeds,
so inhuman, I'm surprised you bleed.
Cutting teeth, fading belief.
Flip the switch and drag me in.
When they've had their way,
- Penis Vagina
Are you ready?
GO!!
Time
Will my ego ever be satisfied?
Blinded
As you enter my mind
ENTER MY MIND!!
Am i alive? (it's a mindfreak!)
- Red Eyes
I can’t
Seem to get a hold of this
This mess
Seems to be taking
Its grasp on every
Everything that we once worked for
And I can’t bear to watch
Everything just fall around me,
- Rise Against
Resist, rise against
Tuning out the message they sent
Waking up, things never felt so clear
All of it ceased, I want it to pass
Armed to the teeth
With words that give me some meaning
- Running From the Sun
The sun was so low that day
Staring into burning eyes
Watch as I walk away from you
From the lies that you made my life
Making me feel so lost and helpless
Running won't help me
Now it's too late
Closing my eyes to the skies makes it worse
- Stay Young Forever
Stay Young Forever
You’ve done this to yourself or so, so it seems
You left behind everything
All your friends and all your family
Does it not feel slightly daunting
How you still sleep at night
When you must be able to hear them fight
- The Blues
Never, never lose sight
Of what you started it for
No matter what comes in between
And I, I used to think
That I knew better than those around me
But something changed along the way
And you’re the reason I’m wanting to stay
- The Darkest Tomb
It's getting hard to breathe in here
What I would give to be set free
This darkness surrounding me
They're coming for us
They're closing in
Take careful aim
I know you won't miss
Avoid eye contact
- These Colors Don't Run
These streets aren't paved with gold
Don't believe everything that you're told
Deception hides in all you see
Corruption hangs in the air that you breathe
And in the land of the free
You know nothing comes for free
Fourth drive in paradise
- They'll Be Hanging Us Tonight
Raid all the liquor stores
Kidnap the kids
This night's not over yet
Running on Lucifer's blood
We're trashed in the back of your car
A cheap lay in the parking lot
A shot for afters
As I watched you slaying behind the wheel
- Truth, Be Told
Raging waters flood the valleys of your mind.
The torrent washed away the warning signs.
Swim through the ones and zero's,
so hard to tell the villains from heroes.
What if they say isn't true?
What if they want isn't best for you?
- Unbeliever
Our story began in the heart of a star.
We've lost our way, forgotten what we are.
We are only particles in motion.
Floating through space, what a destructive race.
Look at this life as a grain of sand,
the blink of an eye,
a world in your hands.
- Untitled
The long walk home,
back to a no name town.
Where people pass me by
in red and white lines.
Your only son can't make you proud.
The moon and stars, this frozen clock.
And if in years to come we can talk like friends,
- Up And Away
It’s time to take a step back
Look at my life and
Find a stable place to hide
It’s time to take a step back
Look at my life and find
A stable place to hide
It’s time to take a step back
Look at my life and
- We're All Alone
I’ am your hero
Still i sleep alone at night
In years you'll thank me
For getting everything right
I’ am the sun
Still i sit alone in a red sky
Keeping my eyes on you
Were all alone
- Year In Year Out
I’m astounded I’m looking for a reason to leave
I’m astounded I’m looking for a reason to leave
The years I’ve put into everything I have
Everything I am
I’m needing to find some peace of mind
To stop me leaving it all behind
These eyes have seen everything
- You Don't Walk Away From Dismemberment
I will spill blood on your filthy princess whites
Come home tonight so I can slit your throat
Every time you discard my heart
Your ship's sinking fast
The colours are fading
Save me again tonight
You know I'll make it count
Princess, there's more to life than robbing banks
