CARNIFEX LYRICS

1. World War X

Death to all humanity

Hail the night, hail despair
Drink in the sickness of death in the air

Suffer in sulfur, absolute fear
Hell is here
The soul of man, lost to the void
Humanity destroyed

Now the dead dance
Set free at last
To spread hate and fear
Slip through the earth
And into the flames
Everything dies today

Death worship
Death worship

War in the wind and hell in my lungs
No spoken words, only napalm and guns
Bury the earth in the flames of the sun
World War X
War in the wind and hell in my lungs
No spoken words, only napalm and guns (World War X)
Bury the earth in the flames of the sun
World War X
World War X
World War X
World War

Bow before the new necropolis
Bow before the altars of death
Bow before the new necropolis, oh

Scorn from the sky
Scorn from the earth as it's burning alive
Burning in space, universal demise
Heaven and earth beyond the reach of the light

Suffer in sulfur, absolute fear
Hell is here
The soul of man, lost to the void
Humanity destroyed

Death worship
Death worship

War in the wind and hell in my lungs
No spoken words, only napalm and guns
Bury the earth in the flames of the sun
World War X
War in the wind and hell in my lungs
No spoken words, only napalm and guns
Bury the earth in the flames of the sun
World War X

Burn the flags and bow to the gun
Born to kill 'cause that's how wars are won
Burn the flags and bow to the gun
Born to kill 'cause that's how wars are won

2. Visions of the End

You won't see it when it happens
The night that it all crashes
Welcome to infernal suffering
The embers in the wind, evolution eclipsed
Is this what you wanted to see?
Drowned out, then erased from history
The premeditated murder of millions
Now we burn

Behead the king
Pierce their flesh
Crush their soul
Bleed them all

The sun goes black and the sky bleeds red
As you kneel before the lords of death
Behead the king
Pierce their flesh
Crush their soul
Bleed them all
Bleed them all

No return
The scars of man map the valley of death
No return
Visions of the end drag heaven to the depths
No return
The scars of man map the valley of death
No return
Visions of the end drag heaven to the depths

Black ash that rains from the sky
A torrent of flames that leaves none alive
Drown us in fire and burn out our eyes
Drown us in fire and burn out our eyes
Scream 'til you bleed, the gods won't hear you
Die on your knees, the world won't miss you

The sun goes black and the sky bleeds red
As you kneel before the lords of death
Behead the king
Pierce their flesh
Crush their soul
Bleed them all
Bleed them all

No return
The scars of man map the valley of death
No return
Visions of the end drag heaven to the depths
No return
The scars of man map the valley of death
No return
Visions of the end drag heaven to the depths

Visions of end and the destruction
Of the life of every human
Premeditated murder of millions
This world was meant to burn
Visions of end and the destruction
Of the life of every human
Premeditated murder of millions
This world was meant to burn
This world was meant to burn

3. This Infernal Darkness

Give into death
Give into death
Just when you thought you knew who I was
I'll leave you choking on your own blood
Now bleed

Down on your hands and knees
Bleed yourself for me
You built this coffin, now lie in it
You dug this grave, now die in it

Cast from heaven and into the deepest seas
This infernal darkness has always been a part of me
Am I even flesh or am I just bones?
Maybe I'm a ghost that wanders hell alone
Only speak my name when you read it from my grave
Death's forgotten children, and we can't be saved
These are thoughts I never should have spoke
Words became blades as they slip through the flesh of my throat

Give into death
Just when you thought you knew who I was
I'll leave you choking on your own blood
Now bleed
Bleed yourself for me
Down on your hands and knees
Bleed yourself for me

Cast from heaven and into the deepest seas
This infernal darkness has always been a part of me
Am I even flesh or am I just bones?
Maybe I'm a ghost that wanders hell alone
Only speak my name when you read it from my grave
Death's forgotten children, and we can't be saved
These are thoughts I never should have spoke
Words became blades as they slip through the flesh of my throat

Lay me in death's bed as I dream of eternal sleep
I can feel their breath like they're right next to me
Horrors in the dark that only I can see
Death is all I need

Give into death
Give into death

Cast from heaven and into the deepest seas
This infernal darkness has always been a part of me
Am I even flesh or am I just bones?
Maybe I'm a ghost that wanders hell alone
Cast from heaven and into the deepest seas
This infernal darkness has always been a part of me
Am I even flesh or am I just bones?
Maybe I'm a ghost that wanders hell alone

4. Eyes of the Executioner

This is the blade as it breaks your skin
Everything you fucking love dying in the end
I can feel the dead as they dance upon my grave
Voices in the void and I dare not speak their name
This is the face of death
The face that takes your life
That voice inside a suicidal mind
It speaks at night and says it's fine
Truth or fiction, let's find the line
Oh death, save me
Death save me

Eyes sewn shut
Let me die while I dream
Of suicide and other comforts
Things I never should have seen
I was born with blades in my blood
Eyes of the executioner

I am the world broken in two
I am your Christ stillborn in the womb
Spill your guts
No one gives a fuck

One more voice that echoes inside my head
Silent at first but now I know it won't stop until I'm dead
These are words I never should have wrote
Now you know my secret, my sick second self
Death save me

Eyes sewn shut
Let me die while I dream
Of suicide and other comforts
Things I never should have seen
I was born with blades in my blood
Eyes of the executioner

One more voice that echoes inside my head
And it won't stop until I'm dead

I am the world broken in two
I am your Christ stillborn in the womb
Spill your guts
No one gives a fuck

5. No Light Shall Save Us

[feat. Alissa White Gluz]

[Alissa White-Gluz:]
No light shall save us
No light shall save us
No light shall save us
No light shall save us

[Scott Ian Lewis:]
Dark are the souls buried in the depths
Drawn forth to serve then die again
Palms carved on the altars of death
With one command, to hell descend

[Scott Ian Lewis, Scott Ian Lewis & Alissa White-Gluz:]
Blessed are the damned
As they're screaming for answers
Humanity's mass grave, buried in disasters
This is the echo of their last words
This hell is home
Scorched earth seduction
Now you die alone
This hell is home
From above and below
Death enthroned

[Scott Ian Lewis & Alissa White-Gluz, Alissa White-Gluz:]
We stole the stars from the sky
From the hand of God to death divine
We stole the light from their eyes
Condemning the world to eternal night

[Scott Ian Lewis, Alissa White-Gluz, Both:]
Above the Earth we command the flames
In the dead of night on ravens' wings
Only to return when the Earth is dust
No light shall save us
No light

[Scott Ian Lewis & Alissa White-Gluz:]
Dark are the souls buried in the depths
Drawn forth to serve then die again
Palms carved on the altars of death
With one command, to hell descend

[Scott Ian Lewis]
Swept away in apocalyptic rapture
Death of the Earth and everything after
Until the oceans turn black
We might find the light
But we'll never find our way back

[Guitar solo: Jordan Lockrey]

[Alissa White-Gluz, Scott Ian Lewis, Both:]
We stole the stars from the sky
From the hand of God to death divine
We stole the light from their eyes
Condemning the world to eternal night
We stole the stars from the sky
We stole the light from their eyes
Night (Night)

[Scott Ian Lewis, Alissa White-Gluz, Both:]
Above the Earth we command the flames
In the dead of night on ravens' wings
Only to return when the Earth is dust
No light shall save us
No light shall save us
No light

6. All Roads Lead to Hell

Servants of death that feast on the marrow of the silent undead
Find solace in the grave from the voices in my head
And you will face death on your knees, on your knees

One more nightmare that I'd kill to forget
One more nightmare that I'd kill to forget
I can't remember the last time I felt as numb as this
I am a ghost behind these eyes

All roads lead to hell
It'll get worse before it gets better
Every word's a lie but I won't remember
All roads lead to hell
I can see heaven just out of reach
Only God forgives but not me

Bow down and weep for them
Crucify the soul of man
Drag that blade and say hello to forever
One last goodbye you'll always remember

Screams in the void, a silent prison cell
Echoes of death and visions of hell
Held in the arms of death eternal
Born into flames of the infernal

One more nightmare that I'll kill to forget
I can't remember the last time I felt as numb as this
I am a ghost behind these eyes

All roads lead to hell
It'll get worse before it gets better
Every word's a lie but I won't remember
All roads lead to hell
I can see heaven just out of reach
Only God forgives but not me

One more nightmare that I'll kill to forget

Bow down and weep for them
Crucify the soul of man
Drag that blade and say hello to forever
One last goodbye you'll always remember

7. Brushed by the Wings of Demons

Feed my body to the furnace
Write my name in the ash and then burn it
Follow me down into obscenities
They took the words from my mouth
And they never let me breathe

Brushed by the wings of demons
Crushed by the hand of God

Cry out to no one
My ghosts are all gone
Now it ends in blood

My demons, they sleep side by side
Coming alive in the dead of night
Secrets so cold as death and suicide
Eternally dreaming of their past lives

Brushed by the wings of demons
Crushed by the hand of God
The forest echoes only death
My final words on crimson breath
The fields painted red with blood
Red with blood

My demons, they sleep side by side
Coming alive in the dead of night
Secrets so cold as death and suicide
Eternally dreaming of their past lives

[Guitar solo]

My demons, they sleep side by side
Coming alive in the dead of night
Secrets so cold as death and suicide
Eternally dreaming of their past lives

Brushed by the wings of demons
Crushed by the hand of God
The forest echoes only death
My final words on crimson breath
The fields painted red with blood
Brushed by the wings of demons
Crushed by the hand of God
The forest echoes only death
My final words on crimson breath
The fields painted red with blood

8. Hail Hellfire

Witness the invocation of absolute death
I am the pale rider, I am apocalypse
Command, conquer, rule with hellish intent
Your eyes go black, paint it all red, a bullet in the fucking head
Burned, buried
The slaughter of every soul
Burned, buried
Death to all
Death to all

This grotesque embodiment of man before me
Pure fucking poison but now it's all I see
Bodies find their way into shallow crimson graves
All heaven lies in ruin, all angels slayed
No more songs or prayers, only screams
No more fields, just death and disease

All hail hellfire
This is true fear
All hail hellfire
The end is here
All hail hellfire

Endless soulless dead march on the backs of friends
A knife in the neck, praise death, humanity is dead

This grotesque embodiment of man before me
Pure fucking poison but now it's all I see
It's all I see
No prayers, only screams
No saviors, only disease

No prayers, only screams
No saviors, only disease

Bodies find their way into shallow crimson graves
All heaven lies in ruin, all angels slayed
No more songs or prayers, only screams
No more fields, just death and disease

All hail hellfire
This is true fear
All hail hellfire
The end is here
All hail hellfire

9. By Shadows Thine Held

All their souls, they speak to me
Confessing every sin I never wanted to see
All their souls, they speak to me

Like razor blades, they cut away
At the strings that hold my heart
One more cut and it falls apart
One more cut and it falls apart
A hole in my chest where there should be a heart

I'd sell my soul just so death can take me back
By shadows I am held
Buried with the bodies of the past
All those words, I just can't take them back
By shadows I am held
Buried with the bodies of the past

All their souls, they speak to me
Confessing every sin I never wanted to see
All their souls, they speak to me

There is a ghost just behind my eyes
No hands to move, no tongue to lie
Just a thought, meant just for me
No lungs to breathe, no eyes to see
It's not my head and it's not my heart
It has no face, just a voice in the dark

They cast their shadow but can never be seen
I hear their words but never see them speak
They cast their shadows but can never be seen
Never be seen

I'd sell my soul just so death can take me back
By shadows I am held
Buried with the bodies of the past
All those words, I just can't take them back
By shadows I am held
Buried with the bodies of the past

Let this world fade to black

I dream in silence and sorrow
Untold nightmares of horrors unseen
I dream in silence and sorrow
Untold nightmares of horrors unseen
I swear I won't see tomorrow
Let go and take these ghosts from me
Let go, take from these ghosts from me
