Dark Horse
02:54
|

|
for all those born to serve
and those that chose to hide
(how many worker bees died within our hive)
let their sadness be our blessing
let their losses lead the way
the dark horse will one day come
to free the light from all of us
one day the dark horse will come
for all those born to die
and those that lost the fight
(how many fallen friends died within our sights)
let their hard roads be our way out
let their passion lead the way
the dark horse will one day come
to free the light from all of us
one day the dark horse will come
no matter the man or the machine
beasts will become what they were meant to be
in the name of lovers in the name of wars
we'll show the demons for what they are
dark horse ride
towards the light
dark horse ride
onward
towards to light
onward

Reap What You Sow
02:39
|

|
my barren plan to be a better man
rots in abandoned fields
these idle hands inherit spoiled lands
as the hungry become the pigs
we reap (and) we sow
we mourn who we were
love what we lost
in the grave of...(youth)
laying with lions to hide my grief
from the beast that never sleeps
our tired hearts tear us apart
searching for the key
we reap (and) we sow
we mourn who we were
love what we lost
in the grave of...(youth)
reap what we sow
my barren plan to be a better man
rots in abandoned fields
these idle hands inherit spoiled lands
as the hungry become the pigs
we reap (and) we sow
we mourn who we were
love what we lost
in the grave of...(youth)

Axe To Fall
01:41

waiting for the axe to fall
waiting for the axe to fall
waiting for the axe to fall
waiting for the axe to fall
sun is sinking clouds collecting
i'm in a race to stop the bleeding me
my will is leaving darkness falling
need to finally cut me from you
waiting for the axe to fall
waiting for the axe to fall
waiting for the axe to fall
waiting for the axe to fall
sun is sinking clouds collecting
i'm in a race to stop the bleeding me
my will is leaving darkness falling
need to finally cut me from you
i need to learn to love me
i need to stop this suicide machine
i need to learn - to love me
i need to stop this self destruction
i need to learn to love me
i need to learn to love me

Effigy
01:42

rotting legacies
fading loyalties
effigies for the beasts
effigies
distorted hearts
worship gods currency
that is so worthless to me
the poor eat the poor
just like we've done before
cursed by the burden youth brings
rotting legacies
fading loyalties
effigies for the beasts
effigies
distorted hearts
worship gods currency
that is so worthless to me
the poor eat the poor
just like we've done before
cursed by the burden youth brings
effigies for the beasts
effigies you and me
for you and me

saw you coming around my bend
cutting teeth and breaking bread
making moves and smearing friends
your karma has been racking debts
left your throne in foreclosed homes
claimed that crown of decay
built castle walls with blood and bone
to shield your soul from wither and decay
worms will feed
saw you slither around their necks
sinking teeth into their flesh
spitting venom seeing red
you will fall where you lay your head
left your throne in foreclosed homes
claimed that crown of decay
built castle walls with blood and bone
to shield your soul from wither and decay
rats will feast
the worms will find a way
the rats will find a way

Wishing Well
02:49
|
|||
|
the collapsing veins are empty
the stars are less bright tonight
the future is moving farther away
from defeated eyes
your words can't touch me
while your past weighs down your life
your heart can't love me
while your past (still) haunts you inside
the past still hunts you
the past still follows you
your words can't touch me
while your past weighs down your life
your heart can't love me
while your past (still) haunts you inside
you - all I had I gave to you
you - all I had I gave to you
(age is echoes in the well)

Damages
04:26
|
|||
|
shut your doors their storm is coming
of unlived dreams that were cast away
hear the howls soaring in the wind
don't let our end begin
my hatred grows as their tears fall
my hatred grows as their tears fall
shield innocence from hungry tombs
keep damages from taking you
hear the howls soaring in the wind
don't let our end begin
my hatred grows as their tears fall
my hatred grows as their tears fall
i'll do anything that i can do
to lock the window beasts are climbing through
i'll do anything that i can do
to lock the window beasts are climbing through
my hatred grows as their tears fall
my hatred grows as their tears fall
(extinguish our own hells)

Losing Battle
01:46
|
|||
|
triumph of tragedy
and all it claims from me
as those years recede
white lies are all i see
missed steps and misgivings
driven by frailty
what you call family
feels so dead to me
nothing left to lose
when i'm losing you
triumph of tragedy
and all it claims from me
as those years recede
white lies are all i see
missed steps and misgivings
driven by frailty
what you call family
feels so dead to me
nothing left to lose
when i'm losing you
losing the battle
and losing the war

Dead Beat
02:36
|
|||
|
pick your poison as dead beats do
leave a wake in the hearts that hurt you
pick your poison as dead beats do
blood pulsing through your wounds
a thousand warnings are ringing true
burning their homes writing in stone
the name of demons inside of you
you left your mark on this world
you left your scar on this world
you left your mark on this world
you left your scar
you left your mark
you left your scar on this world
pick your poison as dead beats do
leave a wake in the hearts that hurt you
blood pulsing through your wounds
a thousand warnings are ringing true
burning their homes writing in stone
the name of demons in you
you left your mark on this world
you left your scar on this world
you left your mark on this world
wound them

Cutter
01:40
|
|||
|
severed my roots of dead family trees
finding the damage inside
parting blood red seas on bended knee
too much to ask when it's so hard to breathe
no way out
tearing my soul to finally see
the real wreckage between (you and me)
a cold grin for these damned at my door
my haywire heart their product of war
no way out
cutting myself for clarity
i just keep falling into darkness
cutting myself for clarity
just keep falling
severed my roots of dead family trees
finding the damage inside
parting blood red seas on bended knee
too much to ask when it's so hard to breathe
no way out cutter
cutting myself for clarity
i just keep falling into darkness
cutting myself for clarity
just keep falling
one way down
no way out
(i may get better but we won't ever get well)

Slave Driver
02:48
|
|||
|
no longer feel you
no longer fear you
i've worked overtime in
your cancer factories
lived with those lies to
make those loose ends meet
i've taken all my chances
and still I'm missing steps
another losing battle
for those left for dead
no longer feel you
no longer fear you
i've fed their rabid feast yet
still pick from my own bones
i've ripped out my own heart
trying to keep you whole
i've lived like a true angel
i've only learned to fall
i've sold myself to death
for nothing - at all
no longer feel anyone
no longer fear anything
i've hung my sorrow on your
promised apologies
i've left the nest with
broken and battered wings
the blood in my eyes has
taught me to defeat
the beasts at the feet of
saint obscurity
no longer feel
no longer fear
(sold my dreams to feed the corpse)

Cruel Bloom
04:01
|
|||
|
voracious children and wolves
sharpen their teeth on our bones
carrion feeds the wretched
vacant eyes peer through the hole
beggars and thieves
bring down a common enemy
while pawnshop kings and corner queens
all hawk their souls for gold
lifelong victims pound and claw at the ground
searching for a way out of their skin
writhe in the cruel bloom
trying to find beauty in flesh torn from me
trying so hard not to lose you
in cobwebs and empty hearts
lifelong victims pound and claw at the ground
searching for a way out of their skin
writhe in the cruel bloom
witness the ghostlike
shades of ourselves
searching for any way out of our skin
writhe in the cruel bloom

Wretched World
07:10
|
|||
|
down by your side
i watch the dreary light
it illuminates your sleeping skin
i reach my cold arm across the bed
you make no move
you never do
own these dire nights
own their seething lies
own my damage
own my scars
they paint a broke life’s
shattered art
and time won’t turn
my wretched world
(to stand in your shadow is to be home)
