CANNAE LYRICS

1. Synapse

Tomorrow is here
Damned by the speed of time
Imagine when becomes where did it go
Mindless people
They shake hands and smile
I should introduce myself with a slap

A nation of a million fools
Programmed by the media's mainline

Logic and reason
How does it escape your thoughts
Half the truth enveloped in lies
Face life with a vengeance
Shattered by an instant death
A bloody end to a hopeless life

A nation of a million fools
Programmed by the media's mainline

And then a chilling thought to the point of madness
Left in a grip of terror
Left to try recapture myself
With a gun to my head
In a grip of paranoia with a gun to my head
My spirit stands alone in a room
A bloody end to a hopeless life

2. Symmetry Of Fear

Methods of self preservation
Survival doesn't adhere to the weak
Revenge sounds good as a motive
Each of us live our own timeline
There's no way to escape
Decorate your own paper savior
Forgives you for all of your sins
Dead bodies left for a trail

Children's hope pierced by members of the church
Slash the neck of the holy cross bearer
I say it's time to think like us
Perception of pureness disguised as priests
For so many years the world should turn

The answers for your life are not found here
It's time you all must think like this
Your disguise is no longer there

Your accepted misguidance
Convinced this is how to be loved by the lord
The epitome of evil
Your secret it is up and now is your time to pay
Now is your time to pay
Preserving the symmetry of fear
For you to follow

3. The Gathering

Today is the day to throw
Away what's left inside
Gather all the things that
The things that still preside
We have to choose our sides though
Though we never split
It's an equal division of mind and spirit
Welcome this world pulls us together

Our mortality is not afraid
Slap us in the face
To rip us down
To put us in our place

Not a day goes by
We don't think of you
We remember things we used to do
Our life is short
So it won't be long
But until then we must remain strong

Since the time that you've been gone
Always felt you here
You're in every one of us
We know you'll always be here
An equal division of mind and spirit

4. Anna's Love

As seen before in a dream
I awaken to the sound of the door
The eyes of a woman
Capture all movement
And infect me with a nervous quiver
No words spoken through her lips
A sarcastic grin told the thoughts
For one second as she crept
I saw my reflection from a glint in her blade

My mouth opens in awe
As hers morphs to a smile
Her happiness the loneliness
The happiness seen in her face
Etched a feeling of horror

In madness I reach for my face
A menacing giggle fills the room
My body droops to the floor

I look up to the cross
That hangs upon the wall
Is my ride to hell here
This must be the end

The happiness seen in her face
Etched a feeling of horror

5. Two Feet From The Ground

The lack of desire pushed down
Pushed down on your face
Dark scenarios constructed on fates dime
Changing all that's around you
Hope seems so far from here
When will this agony cease
How can I fill this void

Suicide infects my mind
Poisoning all that's left inside
Suicide invades my mind
Fracturing all that's left inside

My soul standing over my own flesh
How can I make this agony cease

Suicide infects my mind
Poisoning all that's left inside
Suicide it takes my mind
Crushing all that's left inside

Life does not end in death
I was not meant for this world
I can tell it's my time to leave
Time to greet death with a smile

Tortured and twisted
Diseased and fucked
Fear is nothing more
Nothing more than an illusion
Death is nothing more
Nothing more than an illusion

6. Finest Minds

The finest minds never think alike
Always a conflict of interest
Behold they come together as one
It's a revolution that has started
We nurture buried in the underground
A place where your rules don't apply
Thieves crooks the criminal minded
A breed they would never want to control

This world has cast us away
Some get swallowed down some adapt
I see it everyday
People fearlessly following other people

They think they will be blessed into heaven

They think they will be blessed
Do as I say and
I will love you
Will walk away and die

Time to develop power in solitude
Educate to create our own ideas
I know to think for me
Consuming the biggest white lies

Our hands already blood red on my return
Everyone is guilty and their souls must burn

7. Human Head

Standing with a slight slant
The head seemed to be just right
Collared shirt and neck tie presentable to who

A smile stretched across his face
With puppet strings holding each side up
My head fills with images of old horror films

Creatures told me to severed limbs
On top of me headless torsos
Demon light tones tip toe around
My comatose body
Disturbing tremors
Creep underneath my skin
Just remember the narrators there for advise
My eyes burn from the salt that was put there
Burnt my comatose my eyes now burn
Burn from the salt

8. Intro

[instrumental]

9. Black Flowers

Handed black flowers
Lined with dead moss
They release the pungent stench of disease
Scorched by the sun
Decayed to ashes
Animated sleeves of despair

But with each chapter
We learn much more
But it brings us closer to the end

Edge burned photos
They show the past
Seven deadly sins hold their purpose
Just lives to breed
Summary of a virus
Running rampant through the races

Encased in glass
Each breath you take
It brings us closer to the end

Flirting with the hands
That holds disaster
The scales now have turned
Underneath the facade
That makes you gorgeous
You host the death of thousands

Die extreme lines of
Execution through skinless torture
Prosthetic love

Enlist love human
Dressed up with roses
Obey the stars

Seven deadly sins
Lust lives to breed
Summary of a virus
Lust lives to breed

10. Projector

We have gambled with the cards
The cards that have been dealt to us
But who knows how long the chips will last
When I look back to see through
Can see right to the inside
What an ugly picture it is
The flames of remorse still blacken families
It's been told in so many tales

My smiles and my sorrows
Have gotten me this far
But not without the wounds
My smiles and my sorrows
Have gotten me this far
But not without the wounds that have scarred
Starting to think that I have lost
What is real
What is real in this world

Can you decipher this madness it's the lottery
Play the lottery of life

My smiles and my sorrows
Have gotten me this far
But not without the wounds
My smiles and my sorrows
Have gotten me this far
But not without the wounds that have scarred
Starting to think that I have lost
What is real
What is real in this world

The prophecy of superstitions
Ridden with the plague of the soul
The prophecy of superstitions
Ridden with the plague of the mind and the soul

Murder of an ordinary story
Children fighting eye for eye
It's our anger that keeps us alive
The hate makes us survive
