1. The Death We Seek

With every gust of wind, we're blown further back,
Forgetting more and more of our past
We sought to paint the world with our vision - bitter times of our punishment
Grow far and wide, ignored - is young demise not what you asked for?

The sky, it swells and sings,
Begging for death at the hands of our misery
Blind pride was our disease
The world will feel the sting
The sky, it swells and sings,
Begging for death at the hands of our misery
Blind pride was our disease
Do you accept your fate?

If I fall into the sky,
Who would I begin to blame?
Reaching further from the light,
We become what we have made
Serenity
Always running from me
Can you feel it?
Dark clouds fill the sky

(As the sun begins to fade,
We're swallowed in
A violent catastrophe begins)
We are facing the end

We have found the death we seek
Torn apart at the dawn of suffering
Broken homes, decaying streets
Torn apart at the dawn of suffering

Chasms open beyond
The scale of our perception (perception)
Disassociated
With reality
The sky, it swells and sings,
Begging for death at the hands of our misery
Blind pride was our disease
Do you accept your fate?

If I fall into the sky,
Who would I begin to blame?
Reaching further from the light,
We become what we have made
Serenity
Always running from me
Can you feel it?
Dark clouds fill the (sky)

(To know I am at fault
I bite my tongue and hang my head in shame
But I know from one look in your eyes)
All along, you've deceived me

Why would I ever want this?
Digging through the depths and cutting through the cracks
All I wanted was to shape the earth for you,
And all you wanted was a knife digging through my back

Why would I ever want this?
Digging through the depths and cutting through the cracks
All I wanted was to shape the earth for you,
And all you wanted was a knife digging through my back

2. Living In Tragedy

(I know that you might) try to chase me
You'll never know what lies beneath
One'll rise, the others fall
We've come to face our grief
Rotten and vile from the inside out
Living in tragedy
One chance to break the elegy
One shot to clip the wings of catastrophe

We only wander in our place
Without a doubt, there's become a price to pay
The only martyr with the means
They'll never speak for me

When the darkness comes,
I beg you don't follow me
Pull me out from all I've known
Let it swallow me - I'm done making my own nightmares

Yeah, we have come to wash away the greed
Blurred lines break down the fabric

It's time; you have no choice to leave
Hesitation leaves us defenseless
It's time - command lines are breaking
With everything I have, I will find them
It's time - command lines are breaking
With everything I have, I will find them
It's time - command lines are breaking
Death is the only answer

(Hate is nothing to a king)

Pierce through the vitals, make them bleed
Contrition void in violence
Destruction of the gods
Victory costs everything

When the darkness comes,
I beg you don't follow me
Pull me out from all I've known
Let it swallow me - I'm done making my own nightmares
With wings now cut, we spiral down (down)
We're left with nothing, and we call this peace
Please don't follow me
I'm done making my own nightmares

Go!
Urgh!

3. Unfamiliar

Reflections of violent shadows follow me
For life
Never gave into foolishness, but suddenly
You're wrong
What you want, I can't offer,
Even now on this throne
Set a course for a new life where each day's another disaster
Now we're forced to reveal it for ourselves

It's not hard to get lost on a path so unfamiliar
A path that's always been
Save a life at what cost? Now we're on a track
We've all forgotten (We're counting down)

The further we descend now, we tangle the web,
Compounding our torn existence
Sick and twisted, drowning in darkened thoughts of a life we're all born to squander
Slow now, the hate sets on like a father scorns despondent sons

If there is any way out,
We'll find it

It's not hard to get lost on a path so unfamiliar
A path that's always been
Save a life at what cost? Now we're on a track
We've all forgotten (Complacency)

[Guitar solo]

It's not hard to get lost
It's not hard to get lost

It's not hard to get lost on a path so unfamiliar
A path that's always been
Save a life at what cost? Now we're on a track
We've all forgotten (Extinction)

The way I'd seen it, we were in control,
But it's just not the way this works
It's not hard to get lost on a path so unfamiliar
(A path that's always been)

Take a bow for the long forgotten

4. So Alone

Will we ever have to make a choice again?
Buried in false ties and the cost of our descent
Our veil is lifted to a paradigm
Of eternal penance

All control is fading out, warm beds are taken up
We're stranded, waiting for a lie
With half-cut tongues, we struggle endlessly for naught
This life has come undone

A sight unfolds
We can't remember if we've been here before
We can't get close,
If even for a moment now when I feel so alone

The weight is born by the ones still left,
For we all have a cross to bear
But is there faith with a lack of trust?
Our most stable crutch

When's it gonna be the end of this?
Biting tongues at the mouth of war
When's it gonna be the end of this?
We've recused ourselves to damnation by the book
Will it light the way
When the torches overwhelm?
Will it light the way
When every bridge is burning down?

A sight unfolds
We can't remember if we've been here before
We can't get close,
If even for a moment now when I feel so alone

Blood spilled in error
Love left behind in your wake
Blood spilled in error
Love left behind in your wake

The silence hurts
It's not your heart bleeding on the ground
We can't get close
If even for a moment now

A sight unfolds (a sight unfolds)
We can't remember if we've been here before
We can't get close (we can't get close),
If even for a moment now when I feel so alone

(Alone
Alone
Alone
Alone)

5. Over And Over

Lift the chains, find yourself to your voice and speak
Reclaim the life you chose to lead
Everything about this world has changed
Since we fell asleep

Pick up the ashes and weep
The world you loved is now the enemy
Bitter blood like wine
Forever now intoxicating
Pick up the ashes and weep
The world you love is obsolete
Separation led to an altered state
Divorced from our reality

Finally lost the will to fight,
Let my whole life slip away,
Only to find myself undone
Over and over
Hanging above on the highest wire
Burned through more than I can give,
Only to find myself alone
Over and over

When the bones begin to crumble
From the poison in the rain
We're left with nothing but our memories
Until they slowly start to fade
Can we make this stop?
Can we twist the hands of fate?
Can we make this stop,
Or are we damned to taste defeat?

Finally lost the will to fight,
Let my whole life slip away,
Only to find myself undone
Over and over
Hanging above on the highest wire
Burned through more than I can give,
Only to find myself alone
Over and over

Torment

Make this stop
Torment

Caught dead in the throes of our disease
(Did you see this coming?)
Caught dead in the throes of our disease
Are we all to blame?

We are constantly shamed (constantly shamed, ...)
We are constantly shamed (constantly shamed, ...)

Finally lost the will to fight,
Let my whole life slip away,
Only to find myself undone
Over and over
Hanging above on the highest wire
Burned through more than I can give,
Only to find myself alone
Over and over

6. Beyond This Road

Recast the stones

Blind meddling upon the place we call our home
Derivatives of serrated recollections taking form
I'm on my own - my mind is made in the cold of suffering
Crossing to a land of the heartless where we'll be dead regardless

A mind deceived, a lie we've lived
We're offered a love for the loveless

Beyond this road,
There's another world we can carve out for ourselves
We can't be slowed
Breaking down the walls that divide us from our dreams

Do you hate me? Are you trying to forget the desolation and disdain?
Holding down another lie to bring silence over another tragedy
I swear dissolution seeps in every breath we get to breathe
Liberate ourselves from the open wounds, so we can't admit defeat - block out the screams

Waking at night
Upon this bed of ash
Taste the blood and get a scent of death while your children stand upon the throne of judgment
Is this why you exist, to repel your reality?

Beyond this road,
There's another world we can carve out for ourselves
We can't be slowed
Breaking down the walls that divide us from our dreams

Is it so wrong to only want to go
To the places that we loved?
Ignore the silence that keeps us guessing
If we're on our own

Something's watching, something's coming this way,
Sinking its teeth into the lives we've lost
Taste the blood of your sons

Yeah!

Taste the blood, and get a sense of the other side
Can't do wrong when your reality's gone, yeah
Taste the blood and get a sense of the other side
Can't do wrong when your reality's gone

A mind deceived, a lie we've lived
We were offered a love for the loveless

Beyond this road (beyond this road),
There's another world we can carve out for ourselves
We can't be slowed (we can't be slowed)
Breaking down the walls that divide us from our dreams

Taste the blood, become one with death

7. Vengeance

Force this revolution (revolution)
Dark marks behind our masks (our masks)
Senseless execution (execution)
No mistakes and no forgiveness

Forced to be petrified and aimless (aimless)
Dissolution's revolution (revolution)
We've succumbed to a violent shaking (shaking)
We've become our breaking

I never (never) wanted to be a victim
I thought I could rise above
No one prepares you for the answers
They make you but tear you apart

If there's no way out, can we still break through,
Recover from confinement?
Could we still be numb to the only truth
That lies beyond us?
Will we get stabbed in the back for what we chose
When we were powerless?
Buried in the sand, a shallow monument
To our existence

You were the home that I could love
I stood silent before your grace
No longer vying for connection
We've become a tragedy
'Cause every time we're close to God,
You pray for madness
And now there's nothing I can say
To repel the burden – ugh!

Let the venom out, end the suffering
Is it ever enough? No, it's never enough
Executioner, judge, and jury
Dying to find the hearts that bleed - wasting our forgiveness

Hanging down over us
Our confinement coming in waves
Wolves at the throne taking what we've denied them
Judgment will be known

If there's no way out, can we still break through,
Recover from confinement?
Could we still be numb to the only truth
That lies beyond us?
Will we get stabbed in the back for what we chose
When we were powerless?
Buried in the sand, a shallow monument
To our existence

You were the home that I could love
I stood silent before your grace
No longer vying for connection
We've become a tragedy
'Cause every time we're close to God,
You pray for madness
And now there's nothing I can say
To repel the burden – urgh!

Let the venom out, end the suffering
Is it ever enough? No, it's never enough
Executioner, judge, and jury
Dying to find the hearts that bleed - no mistakes and no forgiveness

8. Gone Astray

I can see behind your eyes like a window to your soul
I can see the doubt consuming from the outside in
If I can't get out of here, will you promise to be strong?
Find a way to stop our history from repeating

I can't shake this feeling
I see the signs that we've gone astray
So, now we close our eyes
We'd rather die than face all our mistakes
There's no use concealing
The writing on the wall
Tonight, we dine in hell
So, here we dwell

I'd be the first to say, "I'm sorry,"
But there's no time left for remorse
Another relic frozen in a time
I can't remember
You will not defeat me (defeat me)
This will be the night I take control
You will not defeat me (defeat me)
This will be the tale of my resolve

I can't shake this feeling
I see the signs that we've gone astray
So, now we close our eyes
We'd rather die than face all our mistakes
There's no use concealing
The writing on the wall
Tonight, we dine in hell
So, here we dwell

Tonight, we will die

Bound together now
Tonight, we will die
Bound together, we are forced to take the fall
Tonight, we will die to recover the world

(I can't shake this feeling
I see the signs that we've gone astray)
I see the signs that we've gone astray

I can't shake this feeling
I see the signs that we've gone astray
So, now we close our eyes
We'd rather die than face all our mistakes
There's no use concealing
The writing on the wall
Tonight, we dine in hell
So, here we dwell

9. Remember Me

I can sense it; I've convinced myself that the world I love is gone
The blood is on the walls, the damage has been done
We carry the weight of selfless scars we silently crave
Upon a pedestal, we place our pain

One quandary for the counsel - too humble to brag
Cut the venom out, but the snake still buries its fangs

So, when you take a look deep inside yourself, it swells and it stings
Like a chemical reaction burning your brain
In lies the weight of our regrets - sharpen the knives that cut through
Our deepest strings of hate - show me the love you've always wanted

All the love is gone, driven apart by what we all have seen (all have seen)
We're falling over ourselves
How do we mourn what's lost, what never will be?
Remember me, remember me as you loved me

Carry the weight of selfless scars we silently crave
Show me your hands, and touch the stars with me
We're never just on one path, one road to travel, it seems
Our story is infinite, and we've just been pulling at the strings,
And now there never will be

We have exercised the will of parasites
Witness the birth of innocence and our call to grow

All the love is gone, driven apart by what we all have seen (all have seen)
We're falling over ourselves
How do we mourn what's lost, what never will be?
Remember me, remember me as you loved me

Carry the weight of selfless scars we silently crave
Show me your hands, and touch the stars with me
Falling walls like mountains form where I stand
You are my family, and I will not let hate be my last sin

10. Guide Us Home

Light the fire tonight - our bones are tired and bruised,
But it's warming
To sit in silence with brightened eyes as we start anew
(Start anew) Maybe this is our chance to
Tip the scales and play the gods - we know that we all never will be
Change the world, defy the odds, for we owe what cannot be repaid
And there's no stopping our minds from spinning over again
All that matters is we keep moving

Oh God, we've tried to overcome the pain,
But all that's left for now is to face the lives that lie beyond us
(Don't say no) We will run 'til the sun won't guide us
(Don't say no) We will run 'til the sun won't guide us home

Instead of mending the scars, you cut right over them
Can you tell me
If life's not worth it to start, why don't we start accepting
The people we're dying to be?

(Hell's become a part of me
When you look at yourself, do you look through me?
Hell's become a part of me
When you look at yourself, do you look through me?
Hell's become a part of me
When you look at yourself, do you look through me?
Hell's become a part of me
When you look at yourself), do you look at me?

Born of the bred
We had no way of choosing our existence

Don't "save" us
Like we're unworthy of your forgiveness
Don't "save" us
Like we're unworthy of your forgiveness

[Guitar solo]

God, we've tried to overcome the pain,
But all that's left for now is to face the lives that lie beyond us
(Don't say no) We will run 'til the sun won't guide us
(Don't say no) We will run 'til the sun won't guide us home

Another match to add to the flame
Another backed up memory
Of what you'll never be to me,
Of what you'll never be to me
(Home) Is it a testament to your grace
When all the love left still remains?
It's such a shame you had to leave
I would've loved to meet you here
