Step back, give me a second to breathe
The echoes of your voices in my head refuse to leave
Forced to recall every word you spoke to me
I'm ripping tearing my insides to try to get you free
Back and forth rolling over thoughts that I displace
Over and over again and again
Searching for a way to forget your face
Over and over again and again
The burn of your wrath lays deep in my veins
Reasoning words of peace replaced with screams
Void of remorse, sorrows absence, malice reigns
The shell you left, I now control, is fuelled by hate
No apology will right your wrongs
Remove my name from your fucking tongue
I remember the way you used to look at me in love
But now that's gone and all that's left in me is apathy
Thrown aside and torn apart
Forced to die and left to rot
Cast out, forgotten and left to spoil
Decayed and withered, vulnerable and lost
Though I will never die because I am everything you're not
The shattered ruined bones of love you left behind
Is a shell reminiscent of who I used to be, turned deaf, turned dumb, turned blind
Reaper take me deep below
Set fire to my hallowed home
Poison, kill and eradicate
Give me eternal suffering
Black out the hollow sun
Remove every heretic tongue
Swallow from my chalice of blood
Forget the endless pain of my love
Forget the endless pain I caused
Forget the agony I loved
Thrown aside and torn apart
Forced to die and left to rot
I remember the way you used to look at me in love
But now that's gone and all that's left in me is apathy
Thrown aside and torn apart
Forced to die and left to rot
Thrown aside and torn apart
Forced to die and left to rot

Made Of Misery

Bleeding eyes, shattered bones, swallowing the atrophy of
Broken bodies, broken souls, break the binds that hold me down
Force of nature, take control of everything I left behind me
Swallowing emotions brought about unnaturally
End the cycle, end the chain that drags me closer
Help me forge a bond to save me from myself
Encased in dirt six feet below
Allow my wrath to toil and grow
And know that when I wake from my eternal sleep
You will know the bounds of my suffering
Misery
Give me misery
Feel the pain I feel
Suffer endlessly
No longer shall I wake to an empty shell, overcome with hate
Longing to feel again, go back to where I thought I'd belong
Torment me further so that I might fall into a early grave
Recount the promises you made but you have never been so wrong
Take away the pain you brought so easily
Feel the hate you inflicted
Take away the sorrow that I suffocate on, give me something more to live for
Take away the life you gave so easily
Feel the loss you took from every lost forgotten soul that suffers your wrath burning alive
When I wake I'll take your place
Watching over death's domain
Breathing sulfur, breathing rage
Living anger
Swallowing hate, consuming pain
Living in eternal limbo
Dreaming of the end of your worthless life
Swallowing hate, consuming pain
Living in eternal malice
Dreaming of the end of your worthless life
Misery, misery
Give me misery
Misery, misery
Live my misery
No longer shall I wake in an empty shell, overcome with hate
Longing to feel again, go back to where I thought I'd belong
Torment me further so that I might fall into a early grave
Recount the promises you made but you have never been so wrong
Give me misery
You have never been so wrong
Give me misery
You have never been so

Worthless liar will never amount to
Potential you promised the masses that follow
Leading lions to slaughter
Hoping that we had forgotten
Faceless tyrant making promises that cannot be kept, order masses oppressed to be left in the darkness, blindsided by a change of your heart, you tore my insides apart
Fall below
Drown in the blood left in my veins
Led by the blind
You are blinded by the darkness you bring
Brought to your knees
We will suffer to be set free again
Led by the blind
You are blinded by the darkness you bring
Brought to your knees
We will suffer to be set free
Sorrow’s reaper, ender of tomorrow
Watchful keeper, the oath you gave is hollow
Silent killer, I swear I'll make you regret ever trying to betray your faithful
Head severed from your shoulders
Heart burnt and left in embers
Hands bound with broken fingers
Lost your soul to hell's harbingers
No hollow words are spoken
The past repeating the past will show your demise
No longer are we broken
We struggle on to survive
No hollow words are spoken
No longer are we broken
Led by the blind
You are blinded by the darkness you bring
Brought to your knees
We will suffer to be set free again
Led by the blind
You are blinded by the darkness you bring
Brought to your knees
We will suffer to be set free

Tearing at the seams
Ripping out my eyes to make you see
All along I knew you were trying to believe you could lie and you could steal, you could ruin and deceive me
Bleeding my soul dry
Torturing with visions meant to drive
My fragile mind insane, so that you could leave again, bring your voice into my head and let me suffer never to be
Free of the chains that you forced on me
I surrendered myself to you
Free of the pain I endured for you
I surrender myself completely
You lit a fire deep inside that sparks another
Burning desire to right what was wronged has overtaken me
You have forsaken me for the last time
I will undo your life
Tearing at the seams
Insanity will set me free
Bathing in your blood
Revenge has never been so sweet
Wake up from your sleep
Allow your eyes to focus on my face
As I pull out your insides because you filled my head with lies,
Forget the things I said, you will never get away
Close your eyes again
Pray that you might find the end
You drove my fragile mind insane, so that you could leave again, bring your voice into my head and let me suffer never to be
Free of the chains that you forced on me
I surrendered myself to you
Free of the pain I endured for you
I surrender myself completely
Breathe for me
Bleed for me
Breathe for me
Bleed for me
Lie for me
Die for me

Smothered by light
We find ourselves blindly following
Smothered by light
We find ourselves blindly following nothing
The ghosts that built these foundations no longer walk amongst us
Encased in stone and now forgotten we are forsaken
The gods that once we prayed for have moved on and left us all to die
The gods we prayed for never thought that we'd survive
You abandoned and left us to rot
You swore salvation if we followed thee
Now we beg you to look in the mirror
Now we beg you to see what we see
And now we wander this ghost world
Unshackled by the lies we no longer believe
And now we wander this ghost world
Without your love, we are free to be free
Phantoms and spectres nobody else sees
Bodies forgotten and left to disease
What feels like centuries have passed as we wander these streets
The sun blocked by clouds, pavement swallows our feet
Resurrect the dead, to take back everything we thought we had
Guiding lost to final rest, we forfeit hope in search of death
Enduring self-perpetuating rage to take back life again
Exorcise our home and take control, the only hope we have left
And now we wander this ghost world
Unshackled by the lies we no longer believe
And now we wander this ghost world
Without your love, we are free to be free

Genetic Hysteria
03:46
|
|||
Panic under stress of hunger
Fires suffocate and die
This city halted until darkness finally subsides
Hallucinations tease and flicker, rats bite and scratch at our feet
And voices whisper, pull us further, only death can set us free
Set us free
Empty lost and forsaken these streets are lined with horror
Struggling to survive this the harshest winter we have known
Eyes suffocate on the absence of light
For we blackened the sun long ago
Reach out your hand into nothing again and pull back the illusion of hope
Pity me
Along the roads that you wander in search of life
Will you find what you're looking for as you place your hand in mine
Breathe in the ashes and sulfur
Choke on this risen hell
Fall into panic and suffocation
Know that you are not alone
Hysteria sets in and takes control of everything
Hysteria sets in and takes control
Hysteria sets in and takes control of everything
Panic and suffocation, anxiety and trepidation
Along the roads that you wander in search of life
Will you find what you're looking for as you place your hand in mine
As your body fails, as your flame grows cold
Realise that you must surrender control
Surrender control
Along the roads that you wander in search of life
Will you find what you're looking for as you place your hand in mine
