AS BLOOD RUNS BLACK LYRICS

1. City Limits

You made a deal with the devil in the city of angels

You'd give anything for just one taste of it
You've lost reality for what you dreamt up!
You'd do anything to create your legacy
So be careful what you wish for

It could cost you everything
You could lose everything

Where do you draw the line?

You made a deal with the devil in the city of angels
You ain't got no wings
So go back where you came from

2. Insomniac

I won't fall asleep
I'm gonna stand up and fight
Gripping the wheel so tight
My knuckles turn white with fear

In the distance I can hear the sirens calling
These sleepless nights I lie awake as the floor shakes

Solely responsible for these souls
These sleepless nights
In the distance I can hear the sirens coming
These sleepless nights

Polluted minds
These thoughts are not my own
This is my life
Control the wasteland

Day by day
We bleed the time away
We drink to our health
We think for ourselves
And with smoke-filled lungs
We exhale the truth

Scream our name
Without knowing what we've been through
Scream our name
Are you listening now?

Are you listening?
We bleed for you

Day by day
We bleed the time away
We drink to our health
We think for ourselves
And with smoke-filled lungs
We exhale the truth

Scream our name
Without knowing what we've been through
Scream our name
Are you listening now?

Polluted minds
These thoughts are not my own
This is my life
Control the wasteland

[2x]
We bleed for you
Are you listening?

3. Ground Zero

Lately it seems like you're dead behind those eyes
What will it take to breathe new life? [2x]

What would it take to breathe new life?

All that I've killed for is now killing me
This is worth dying for, breathe new life into me!

I've spent my last days that I'll ever waste!

We bare the crashes of a changing tide
But every wave just
Strengthens our stride

And when the currents change we'll have the strength to survive
And carry on with the rest of our lives
Finally I've found new life!

Lately I've been revitalized
Finally I've found new life

I've spent my last days that I'll ever waste!

It's time to take control of my life to know my true self a show a true better me
It's time to believe in myself for all that I am and all that I'll ever be

I've spent my last days that I'll ever waste!

It's time to take control of my life to know my true self a show a true better me
It's time to believe in myself for all that I am and all that I'll ever be

I've spent my last days that I'll ever waste!

4. Vision

I shut my eyes in order to see through all the lies that seem to surround me

So here I am at the precipice again
Am I alive and breathing, or just dreaming in my head?
I lie awake, questioning what I know
To persuade myself, I know exactly what to do!

I shut my eyes in order to see through all the lies that seem to surround me

SHUT YOUR EYES, FUCK YOUR LIES!

It never ends, when my decision is made
I can't control my thoughts, I'm a fucking moth to the flame
It never ends, deep down inside of me, but this is something I know will stay with me

And I just know that this is time to let go now that I can see
That the past is gone and all that's left is dead memories

Someone please get me out of this place
Blinded by the lies that keep my mind enslaved
OR I WILL SHAKE THE EARTH

I will shake the earth
(chant) SHAKE THE EARTH!
And I will change this world
(chant) CHANGE THIS WORLD!

And I just know that this is time to let go now that I can see
That the past is gone and all that's left is dead memories

I shut my eyes in order to see through all the lies that seem to surround me

I will shake the earth
(chant) SHAKE THE EARTH!
And I will change this world
(chant) CHANGE THIS WORLD!

5. All Or Nothing

I am the sum of all that I have done
I'm haunted by these inactions
And what I've become

I'd give everything to feel nothing at all!

How could I have come so far to forget where I've come from
I risked my life for this
Now I'm picking up pieces of broken bones
From a broken home!

I'd give everything to feel nothing at all!
How could this slip through my fingertips?
I never meant for this
In my mind I know I will be free
It won't get the best of me - won't be the death of me

I've lost everything
Now I fear nothing at all

How could I have come so far to forget where I've come from?
I risked my life for this, now I'm picking up pieces of broken bones
How could I have come so far to forget where I've come from?
I risked my life for this
Now I'm picking up pieces of broken bones
From a broken home

6. Chapters

[Instrumental]

7. An Oath

I swear to be alive for the rest of my life

Take it back - from the life that lead me astray
I choose to shed my skin, and free myself from this cage
This cage of memories
They're nothing but pain and illusion
They are not who I am - I am who you see!

Raise your head up and open your eyes
Remember to live before you die

Live before you die!

Take a look - at the thoughts that stand in your way
Simply witness your head lose itself
And break down the walls of your mind
Your mind made reality
It's nothing but pain and illusion
And it's not who you are - you are who I see!

Raise your head up and open your eyes
Remember to live before you die

8. Eulogy

I am not who I once was, and I'm not who I'll always be
Remember me, remember me, remember!

Did you ever feel the same about me?
And did you ever feel the same about you?
LIVE LIFE, LOSE, LEARN
Did you ever feel the same about me?
LIVE LIFE, LOSE, LEARN

And I don't know but it feels like life is changing
Just don't give up this will only get easier [2x]

I cannot feel like I'm nothing, I'm already numb
My whole life isn't for nothing, it's only begun

And I don't know but it feels like life is changing
Just don't give up this will only get easier [2x]

REMEMBER!

9. Surrender

This is all I know and I am letting go

Break free from the boundaries
Limitations have no meaning to a man who's forgotten his fears
Living in fear won't get you away from here!
Living in fear- it's all in your head!
So go ahead and

HATE ME - I'll use it to fuel my flame
FREE ME - from this patter it's always the flame
VALIDATE ME - for breaking your chains
HATE ME - and continue to fuel the flame

The closer and closer you get
The further you're drifting away
You're drifting from yourself!

And this is who I am, and it's who I've always been!
And this is all I know, and I am letting go!

I'M LETTING GO

As my pockets overflow, it's with or without you

HATE ME - I'll use it to fuel my flame
FREE ME - from this patter it's always the flame
VALIDATE ME - for breaking your chains
HATE ME - and continue to fuel the flame

10. Survival Rites

FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT

Are you surprised to find that I'm still alive?
You wanted to see me dead but I survived

You best believe there's no honor among these thieves

Hell yeah, you know that I'll stand up and
Fight for my fright to survival
Hell yeah! Get up, get up!
GET THE FUCK UP AND FIGHT FOR SURVIVAL!

FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT

You best believe there's no honor among these thieves
THERE'S NO HONOR AMONG THESE THIEVES!

Hell yeah, you know that I'll stand up and
Fight for my fright to survival
Hell yeah! Get up, get up!
GET THE FUCK UP AND FIGHT FOR SURVIVAL!

You best believe there's no honor among these thieves
