CRUENTIS LYRICS

1. Path of Anathema

Traveling down the widened path
Walking in the dark
Waiting for an outstretched hand
Hoping for the afterlife
What goes around comes around
And now you're sure to get what you deserve
And when your heart is bled dry
When there's nothing more to give
You'll be lost until the end of time
Why have you laid your trust in man
When havoc wreaks this fallen land
It's the path of anathema

Faint
It's the feeling of falling
The hate keeps on calling
Strain
It's the feeling of crawling
The burden appalling
Walking through this moral wasteland
Eyes sewn shut yet open wide
Watching, waiting, lurking, baiting
Feeding hopeless death inside

Inside
You stand by and watch your future die
Inside, live the lie

Inside
You stand by and watch your future die, inside
Inside, live the lie

And die

2. Dead and Reborn

I stand by the shore
Awaiting the dawn
Soon to be a memory
This passage of life seems so long
Can it be that my time has come?

The waves are rushing in
I wade in the water
Wash away this flesh that binds my soul
Wash away, oh wash away, this flesh that binds my soul

Burn in the fire, melt in the flames
All that I was, restored in Your Name
Burn in my flesh and burn in my soul
All that was, is dead and reborn

Burn in the fire, melt in the flames
All that I am, restored in Your Name
Burn in my flesh and burn in my soul
All that am, is dead and reborn

You call me out to You by a new name
Yet I yearn for more answers brought only by flame
Though my flesh turns to ash and my body decays
Your Spirit swells deep within, my heart starts to race

At the sound of Your Voice, I know You draw near
In the midst of my cremation, I've lost all fear
For the Power flows within, deep in my veins
The Blood of the Lamb, engulfed by the flames
Of Your Fire

3. Six Feet

You tempt the hand of man to give in to his lusts
Too many times I've tried to hide my lies and cover them up
Indulgence in your promises only leads to dust
I pray the Lord to take away my sins before I start to rust

So I dig deeper and deeper in this grave I've made for all the things you want me to trust
Because I know your deceitfulness
Six feet underground just isn't deep enough

You'll never make it filthy snake, you're gonna burn in hell
Your fate was sealed in blood, you died when from heaven you fell
I hate you
God's cursed you
Death's angel's come to punish you
No earthly grave could ever do
This filthy pit's too good for you
So when it's time to bury you
Six feet isn't deep enough

4. Cold Stone

The darkness seeps into my soul
Black as the mud
I feel that I've been here before
Through famine and flood
I hear the lies, they're writhing inside
A voice that is well known
A voice that promises life
But brings only cold stone

I feel myself drenched in promise
Washed in the Blood of the Lamb
My weapons are forged by anguish
For the lost and the damned
Do you feel my wrath is righteous
Will your war find a home in this world
Could a simple calling for Your Kingdom come
Lay waste to the serpent of old

I hear the cries of all creation
Calling Your Name
A Name worth holding your heart in your hands
And begging for change
How can one hope for their path to be set straight
When they choose to walk alone
Believing all they hoped to believe
Their hearts turn to stone

I've payed the cost
I've played the game
I've twisted the truth and believed in the lies
And only I'm to blame
No longer can I hold my head in the sand
For fear that I will be alone
I must climb free of this lake of acceptance
Before I'm weighed by the stones

5. March for the Son

It's the call
Calling for pain, striving for gain
Brothers in arms
Sharpen the blades, fanning the flames

Together as one
We march for the Son

March to the sound of the drums
And scream for the life borne within
The war for your soul has begun
Will you fight for the death you've undone?

We stand as one
Together as one
We march for the Son

6. The Blood That Divides

Have you heard of the Blood that divides
Man from man, and child from child
Do you worship your history
Do you see the truth
Cast aside your selfish hypocrisy
Let religion burn
Let it burn
Let religion burn

Let it burn

It's a state of mind
Passed down the line
Through the generations, cherished from the dawn of time
Hate for the lost
And disdain for the wicked
When the stones are cast by the ones living in it

It's the fall of religion
And we burn it down
Build a wall of division
And we tear it down
It's the end of tradition
As we break it down
By the Blood that divides

Separated by Blood
Are we not to be different
Forgotten old ways
Die to self, now we're living
Hold out your hand, give a chance to live
It's the Blood that divides

Woe to you scribes and pharisees
Hypocrites
For you are like graves which are not seen
And the men who walk over them are not aware
Cast aside this death of old
Take up the Blood that divides

7. Lament for Those Left Behind
