Bask in your fame of glorious shame Your words may be loud but their meaning is proud Lies deception deceit and demise How am i to trust you when i look in your eyes The wishes coincide No matter how hard i try Been waiting for dawn But the light is all gone Maybe im blind Can i leave it all behind You don't have to tell me I know where you've been What's done is done I thought you were the one It's the first day of the rest of your life Break down again It's the first time in your life you'll see You belong to me Look what you've done Nothing you have won Now do you realize You're here until i'm done The difference is small I'll bury you all Maybe im blind Can i leave it all behind You don't have to tell me I know where you've been What's done is done I thought you were the one It's the first day of the rest of your life Break down again It's the first time in your life you'll see You belong to me The difference is small I'll bury you all Maybe im blind Can i leave it all behind You don't have to tell me I know where you've been What's done is done I thought you were the one It's the first day of the rest of your life Break down again It's the first time in your life you'll see You belong to me

Black Mornings 04:30
lyrics

I've had enough of how this nation's run And of all the monsters that dwell here Our justice system punishes no one The more people, the more you should fear Rapists just get a light slap on the wrist Murderers a two year vacation Feels like it's almost pointless to resist Ruin is our destination Ruin is our destination Our youth's been subjected to Hell on Earth Rates of depression skyrocketing Drowning in substance they forsake their birth Ending what started so promising This land's a cesspool that's making me choke Fueled by politicians that ravage Overrun by greed and we're going broke We're left scrounging for scrap with savages Black mornings drain my soul Years of pain take their toll Black mornings freeze my heart Seems we were doomed from the Black mornings drain my soul Years of pain take their toll Black mornings freeze my heart

The Great Expanse 04:20
lyrics

The great expanse Now rears its head We stand no chance If it wants us dead We are but small fragments Within a world, stagnant Compared to what envelopes us We could be dragged into A black we can't push through In its wake we cannot make a fuss We cannot comprehend The mass, it has no end The dangers, infinite Extinction, imminent The great expanse Now rears its head We stand no chance If it wants us dead The stars align So beautiful Casting their light The sky shall fall Pummeled by rocks Engulfed by flames The flare is nocked The sun takes aim Death by the great expanse Death by the great expanse We stand no chance Death by the great expanse We crash and burn It twists and turns We stand no chance Death by the great expanse

Lost 04:48
lyrics

Unable to find Escape from my grief It's time that I make up a sense of relief And if you have died I'll die by your side There would be no reason to keep up the fight Remember the past The memoirs we keep Whilst holding your image I lie down and weep I can't seem to bear The fact you are lost I'll hold to my vow to protect us at any cost I can't seem to bear The fact you are lost I'll hold to my vow to protect us at any cost Go Your trail I'll follow Erase this sorrow Live 'till tomorrow Too hard to swallow Feelings so hollow Never felt so low I'll find you, I know My hope is true For long I have searched But further I walk I come to a forest and fall into shock I see where she lies I rush to reclaim I recoil in horror, her body's been maimed My head in my hands I scream 'till I'm mute And beg for an angel to come and refute Deciding my fate I hold out my knife Refusing to continue living this Hellish life Lost! All my efforts All have been for naught Lost! All my efforts All have been for naught End this torment What has life meant Slit my wrists and open up my throat End this torment What has my life meant Slit my wrists and open up my throat Lost

Parasites 06:13
lyrics

Call to the choirs of vanity As they cry out in ignorance I will not suffer your shame Nor be subject to your blame We must fight them or fall as one Should we fail we will come undone Stitch up your wounds now and stand Save our forsaken land More! More! They keep begging for more to kill More! More! Their hearts are not kind, destroy us they will They are the ones who are never wrong They are the righteous and they stand strong Lighting ablaze all that we've fought for For the progression of selfish whores Splitting apart this society Swearing upon us their heresy This infestation deserves to die Parasites will bleed our bodies dry Call to the creatures of gluttony Who can't speak but in insolence Your juvenile words are not just Our joys will not fall to your lust They will reap what their hate has sown Pure hostility they have shown Wailing like wimps they all die And ask themselves why More! More! They keep looking for more to fight More! More! They'll find ways to hurt you, just out of spite They are the ones who are never wrong They are the righteous and they stand strong Lighting ablaze all that we've fought for For the progression of selfish whores Splitting apart this society Swearing upon us their heresy This infestation deserves to die Parasites will bleed our bodies dry More! More! They keep demanding more and more More! More! Their crazy ideals leave you bitter and sore Converge in the middle and give them a war Hungering, vicious and hideous Hasty and pretentious idiots Leeches that feed on our mortal lives Braindead and spewing their lies They are the ones who are never wrong They are the righteous and they stand strong Lighting ablaze all that we fought for For the progression of selfish whores Splitting apart this society Swearing upon us their heresy This infestation deserves to die Parasites will bleed our bodies dry Bleed our bodies dry

Let the Fires Burn 04:48

In retrospective What can you give That has not been sold The violation Of human nature Is ingrained in you I hate you but I don't know why All these feelings buried deep inside You bring out the worst in me Your ends do not justify the means Sometimes all is not what it seems You bring out the worst in me I tried and tried, to keep my sins inside We're running, running out of time Through adversity we become Stronger We run faster We jump higher Through the fire But all this time you let the fires burn I hate you but I don't know why All these feelings buried deep inside You bring out the worst in me Your twisted nature pulled you down A horrid smile behind your frown You bring out the worst in me I tried and tried, to keep my sins inside We're running, running out of time Through adversity we become Stronger We run faster We jump higher Through the fire But all this time you let the fires burn Burn Dig through the surface Release your burdens You live in your lies And blocked out our cries I gave you the option to Take back your actions You spat in my face And now you´ll live in disgrace Your actions have spoken They left our bonds broken You could have been free You bring out the worst in me I tried and tried, to let our disputes die We're running, running out of time Through adversity we become so much Stronger We run faster We jump higher Through the fire But all this time you let the fires burn Burn

Fall Down 06:09
lyrics

What do we get for our troubles A weighted mind and lifeless soul Purple eyes sworn to sorrow A river flow to swallow whole What do we get for our troubles Polluted homes and endless woe The river dares me to fall down To drift away within its flow Fall Down Fall Down I'm letting go of this ledge now My face goes numb just like my heart Embraced by cold, crushing my bones Red joins blue creating art Fall! Down! Fall! Down! Fall! Down! Fall to your grave, drift with the wave Take your last breath before your death Vanquishing all, in vain you fall Venomous wall, to salvation I crawl My lungs are pierced, water leaks in I choke on that which gives me life The pain then stops and so my sorrow The void I meet brings end to strife Fall! Down! Fall! Down! Fall! Down! Fall to your grave, drift with the wave Take your last breath before your death Vanquishing all, in vain you fall Venomous wall, to salvation I crawl
