Where were you when the shot rang out?
Sitting in comfort, no cares, no worry
Watching the world go by in ignorance
Waiting for nothing, just living for attention
What are you waiting for?
Your chance to be heard?
Stand up and make yourself known
This world waits for no one
I can't imagine a life without you
No one could measure up; Every day, a new excuse
Standing toe to toe with nothing but the truth
This might be over, but a fighting spirit never dies
Sometimes that's just the way it goes
Don't show me pity, it's so insulting
Even when you're dead inside, you must
Push harder than you ever have before
I'll show you what it means to be alive
Don't waste a second, you will never get it back
If you're too lazy to live for yourself
How dare you try to live for me

Blood on the Battlefield
04:26
|

|
So many, lives, lost in a flash
No consequences, for your hate
I, won't, stand, idly by
You, will, pay for your crimes
You'll reap what you've sewn
All the lives that you own
All the families you've broken
You'll finally learn...
YOU RUN FROM THE LAW
YOU RUN FROM YOURSELF
THIS IS YOUR CHANCE TO BECOME SOMETHING MORE
You've evaded punishment for too long
Hiding behind a sense of entitlement
You think you deserve to be free of guilt
There's more to murder than free will
There's more to life than apologies
Actions speak louder than words
So, give yourself to justice
And let the maggots have their turn
RUNNING FREE!
YOU DON'T DESERVE TO BE
A wolf veiled in sunlight, hiding amongst the sheep
A MURDEROUS RAMPAGE!
THE INNOCENT SLAIN!
The guilt you feel, the lives you steal, say it's only a dream
YOU'VE TAKEN IT ALL
EVERYTHING THAT YOU WANT
NOW GIVE SOMETHING BACK, SOMETHING MORE THAN EMPTY WORDS
You've avoided justice for far too long
Hiding behind your tears of joy
You think you deserve to be free of this
There's more to death than a silent tongue
There's more to life than reasons why
Truly a monster in your own right
So, give yourself over to justice
One swift injection, say goodnight
The city streets are stained red
Human remains revealed by the light of the full moon
There's blood on the battlefield
And you're nowhere to be found
But I'm right here with you
I'm not letting you out of my sight
You can't walk this line alone
After this, you'll never walk AGAIN!
Will you bleed? Will you bleed? Will you bleed for your crimes?
Time to stop, time to die, time to give something back
End this pain, end your life, nothing left to take
Will you bleed? Will you bleed? Will you bleed...for me?

A Faceless Memory
04:54

Time!
Time is fluid!
Unforgiving!
You will know!
You will know when your number is up...
(Verse beat kicks in)
There's no going back
It's the will of time
The future fades
The future fades into the...
Take me into the black
And see what you want me to be
Nothing but a dream
A faceless memory
WATCH THE SANDS OF TIME, FALLING GRAIN BY GRAIN
A symptom of your disease
Just a faceless memory
(Verse)
You have lived
You have bled
The stage is set
By mortal men
Mortal beings
Deciding your fate
The future fades
The future fades into the...
(chorus)
Take me into the black
And see what you want me to be
Nothing but a dream
A faceless memory
I WILL AVENGE ALL THE LIVES YOU STOLE, YOU'RE JUST A
Symptom of the disease
Just a faceless memory
YOU!
YOU HAVE LIVED!
YOU HAVE BLED!
AND SPILLED THE BLOOD OF MANY...
THE STAGE IS SET
THE TIME IS NOW
WHO YOU WERE, IT DOESN'T MATTER
Lives forsaken
Lives broken
Lives spared
Nothing but despair
Countless victims
How many have to die?
To make this matter
Survival
Of the fittest
Mortality
It means NOTHING...
NOTHING...
How many have to die to make this matter? (DIE!)
Take me into the black
And see what you want me to be
Nothing but a dream
A faceless memory
WATCH THE SANDS OF TIME, FALLING GRAIN BY GRAIN
A symptom of your disease
Just a faceless memory

Last Lament
04:31
|
|||
|
Hatred programmed in our DNA
The tides have turned
The majorities become the minorities
Defending our rights to bigotries
Tyrants in perfect unity
Repeating ancient history
Obscene forms of debauchery
Last lament for lucidity
THIS-WILL-BE-MY-LAST-LAMENT
I-WILL-NOT-MOURN-YOUR-FAILURES
RISE-UP-FROM-YOUR-SHELTERED PAST
NE-VER-MOURN-FOR-IG-NOR-ANCE
We are pawns in our own game
Caterers to our ongoing misery
Unity found only through a common enemy
We need a celestial bludgeoning
When the skies turn black
And our entire world is on the brink
Only then will we recognize our fellow man
Tolerance only given by those begging for their lives
I will not mourn the death of these ideals
Your upbringing, dissolved
All the filth, unlearned
Metamorphosis- complete
This is my last lament

The light
The light withers away
The world leaves my eyes
But something takes its place
I see more now than I've ever seen
Darkness befriends me, becomes all I need
My senses heightened, ultimate clarity
No one is safe, you can't hide from me
Like a ghost, I haunt you, enter through your dreams
You're never the same, once you look upon me
Tell the murderers, rapists and sadists about me
Tell the world, you see the devil in me
From the highest rooftops, I can still hear everything
You think you're safe, inflicting pain and misery
JUSTICE, VENGEANCE, IT'S ALL THE SAME
FEAR, DOUBT, IT'S GONE IN ME
RISE UP, STAND UP, DON'T BE AFRAID
WE WILL, TAKE BACK, OUR RIGHT TO BREATHE
Like a mist, I surround you, enter through your pores
You'll never be the same, once you see the devil in me
Tell the killers who lurk in the shadows about me
This world, full of despair and an endless need to
Rename and reclaim all that we have lost
Sometimes it's as simple as relearning to breathe
Sometimes it's not enough, to just want it
Sometimes it's not enough, to hold on to fear
Sometimes the gloves have to come off, so you can face it
Justice is blind
So is the truth
Give the devil his due
Through the withering light

Enemies of Life
04:39
|
|||
|
I bow my head down
I will carry the burden
The weight of your sword
Take life in your name, I will bring death...
To all who deserve...
To all who spread this disease
I am your martyr's prodigy
I have come full circle
Innocence and pain, seem to go hand and hand.
To all those who deal it, watch and I'll be there.
There to take you away, away from this land.
I will carry the sword, and slay you dead.
Enemies of life, your deaths are at hand.
Weep and beg for me now
Tell me it's not your fault
The choices you have made, brought this down upon you
The consequences you bear, become your identity
Sins are for the hollow, why wont you follow your heart?
Tear away from evil deeds, seek redemption and light
A life, which dreamers dream, can become reality
Leave your lies behind you, and martyr yourself before the...
The enemy is here
The enemy is you
You're killing yourself with the delusion
That you're better than your own fate
In time you'll see, this path was chosen for you
In time you'll see, you were always wrong
Enemies of life!
Destroyers of light!
Enemies of life!
Murderers of free will!
I have failed myself
I have come full circle

Immortal Ascension
04:17
|
|||
|
Life, is too short
So elevate to new heights
Rise, to the summit
Fear no obstacle
Time, is running out
Don't live your life on the ground
Rise, to the challenge
Put yourself miles above the earth
Live every day like it's your last
Your time with the reaper is coming up fast
You can't pretend that time is on your side
When mortals do nothing, except cower and hide
Immortal ascension
Climb the mountains, high
Rise above the mundane
Live your life in the sky
Immortal ascension
Set your spirit free
Take nothing for granted
Be who you're meant to be
Life, is more than breathing
So change your perspective
Rise, to your true potential
Never discourage yourself
Now, death is here
You will fall to the elements
Not all may enter here
THE ABYSS
Darkness has found you
But at least you tried
Your ambition has left you
IN THE COLD
Time is a predator
It's stalking you
At least you can say your final moments
Were the best you'd ever lived
Mere mortals live their whole lives on the ground
Never knowing what could've been
You embrace the cold with your dying breath
No longer afraid to leave mortality behind
You'll never die if you don't know you're dead
Locked in a moment, frozen in the mountainside
You didn't go up there to die
You went up there to live

Apathetic Totality
03:30
|
|||
|
We will not last
There will be no fear
Only death is the beginning
There is no time
Just spaces in between death
Hope only brings anguish
Settling for despair
And barefoot, we grew up mean
Achieving a sacred parity
The strong don't survive
Only the weak linger on
Calloused to my bones
I'd steal from most
Fortune in honor
Of my starvation
There is no time
Just spaces in between death
Hope only brings anguish
Settling for despair
Well knowing
This fate is plagued
We will not last
We're going back to Small Heath

Grave Offering
05:26
|
|||
|
Take a look at your soul, take a look in your heart
Tell me, what will you find?
Weaker and weaker, lower and lower
You slip away from yourself
You have so much to live for, but will you choose?
Death or deliverance? Maybe it's not up to you
The things you find so dear in life, they weren't enough
You shackled yourself, you weren't strong enough
Something has a hold on you and you must fight
But you don't care enough to see this through and take flight
Take a look at your soul, take a look in your heart
Tell me, what have you found?
Weaker and weaker, lower and lower
You slip away from yourself
Never able to cut the strings, listening to your demons scream
Tearing away from the darkness, but your demons always win
Returning you to the underworld
The ones around you, the ones that care
They see you fall, they see you fail
Take a look at yourself through someone else's eyes
There is nothing that can be done, you're a slave to yourself
The hourglass is empty, your time has come
You didn't care enough to save your own life
One final grave offering
One last, final grave offering
One last grave offering
To end your dishonorable life
One last grave offering
Before your body is put to sea
Goodbye

Wretched Hive
05:00
|

|
Wake up, world
Time is running out
Wake up, world
Wake up and look inside
All hope is dead
All life is gone from their eyes
Terminal reasons for terminal minds
This is our home, the wretched hive
Wicked lives through wicked lies
The evil we hide in our minds
Symbiotes with our greatest loss
Inside our wretched hive
The collective is calling
The primal disease has won
The hive mind is timeless
The deadliest deed is done
Trapped in the void, with only ourselves
Kill this void, imprisoned by fear
PARALYZED
Destruction is needed for rejuvenation
SPECIES REBORN
I'll cast the first stone for a better tomorrow
