DEMON HUNTER LYRICS

1. Trying Times

These are trying times
Made to break the heart wide
But we still defy
We will make the dead rise

We can't be silent
We can't belong
We have a promise
To die upon
We'll set the fire
Into a song
To burn eternal
When we're all gone

These are trying times
Made to break the heart wide
But we still defy
We will make the dead rise
We will make the dead rise

2. Jesus Wept

Oh

Give me the call and the power to be
Show me the will to lead and see me reign
Take me to a higher pain
Sever the burden and tell me to run
Open the gates of mercy when I come
Give me every want in vain…
Or give me none

Give me…

Eyes wide
See red
I’m why
Bloodshed
Eyes wide
So I don’t forget
I’m why
I’m why Jesus wept

Show me the weight of a fury divine
Bury the dark inside, let waste the flood
Drown us in holy blood
We are the shallow, the scoffers of Hell
Shatter the path of self into the black
Take me to the end of hope…
And bring me back

Give me…

Eyes wide
See red
I’m why
Bloodshed
Eyes wide
So I don’t forget
I’m why

Eyes wide
See red
I’m why
Bloodshed
Eyes wide
So I don’t forget
I’m why
I’m why Jesus wept

Give me…

Eyes wide
See red
I’m why
Bloodshed
Eyes wide
So I don’t forget
I’m why

Eyes wide
See red
I’m why
Bloodshed
Eyes wide
So I don’t forget
I’m why
I’m why Jesus wept

3. Cold Winter Sun

In the dim light of a sacred heart
See the vacant all descending to a left-hand path
Where the dead reign in the godless dark
Every martyr flying blind into the hands of wrath

We give way to sorrow
When the self is all we build
And wake up tomorrow
In the blood of who we killed

We are the kingdom come
We are come undone
And our shadows bleed to one
By a cold winter sun

Give a weak mind all the coldest steel
Our beloved at the mercy of a heartless horde
Tear the cause out, let the cowards reel
Bring the demon to the teeth and lacerate the cord

We give way to sorrow
When the self is all we build
And wake up tomorrow
In the blood of who we killed

We are the kingdom come
We are come undone
And our shadows bleed to one
By a cold winter sun

In the blood of who we killed

We are the kingdom come
We are come undone
And our shadows bleed to one
By a cold winter sun

We are the kingdom come
We are come undone
And our shadows bleed to one
By a cold winter, cold winter sun

4. Died In My Sleep

I see now
We're all that's left
I can't begin to hold my breath
For something else

We gave in
Gave up on hope
We left them length enough in rope
To free themselves

Then I woke to find you here
I felt the light
Saw you take the fire inside
Break the silence wide

I thought I died
Died in my sleep
Ooh ooh, ooh ooh
How can this be?

No witness
No means to end
We cannot wait to keep this in
To free ourselves

Then I woke to find you here
I felt the light
Saw you take the fire inside
Break the silence wide

I thought I died
Died in my sleep
Ooh ooh, ooh ooh
How can this be?
Died
Died in my sleep
Ooh ooh, ooh ooh
How can this be?

Died
Died in my sleep
Ooh ooh, ooh ooh
How can this be?

Died (Died)
Died in my sleep (Died in my sleep)
Ooh ooh, ooh ooh (Ooh ooh, ooh ooh)
How can this be? (How can this be?)
Died (Died)
Died in my sleep (Died in my sleep)
Ooh ooh, ooh ooh (Ooh ooh, ooh ooh)
How can this be? (How can this be?)

5. Half As Dead

There is a light I've seen beneath the end
Nothing below can seem to hold it in

Deep enough to feel your heart break
To know I've gotta leave
Just below the surface, waiting
Close enough to breathe

When I go to sleep
Bury me three feet deep
I'm not half as dead as they are
Half as dead as you

All of the weight
Dead weight, to keep me there
Still not enough
No grey to fill the air

Deep enough to feel your heart break
To know I've gotta leave
Just below the surface, waiting
Close enough to breathe

When I go to sleep
Bury me three feet deep
I'm not half as dead as they are
Half as dead
Half as dead as you
Bury me three feet deep
I'm not half as dead as they are
Half as dead
Half as dead as you

All your convictions
Still not enough to wake
All your convictions
Still not enough to wake

When I go to sleep
Bury me three feet deep
I'm not half as dead as they are
Half as dead
Half as dead as you
Bury me three feet deep
I'm not half as dead as they are
Half as dead
Half as dead as you

6. Cold Blood

Drowning in desperation
Wide eyes, burning red
Taken by disconnected
Lust, feed, choke, despise
They prey upon us
Our death of self-restraint
Maggots inhaling praise
Make low my high

Torn apart
All alone
Sacred heart
Made of stone

Can't stay above
Can't take enough
Soul depleting love
Hollow and black
Just like the ash
Running through my blood

Cold blood
Cold blood
Cold blood

Vacant in motivation
White hearts and hollow words
Dying to validate your debt
Lost souls in rise
No separation
No affirming word
Righteous refusal of decay
Burn through your lies

Torn apart
All alone
Sacred heart
Made of stone

Can't stay above
Can't take enough
Soul depleting love
Hollow and black
Just like the ash
Running through my blood

Can't stay above
Can't take enough
Soul depleting love
Hollow and black
Just like the ash
Running through my blood

Can't stay above
Can't take enough
Soul depleting love
Hollow and black
Just like the ash
Running through my blood

Cold blood
Cold blood
Cold blood

Blood
Cold blood
Cold blood
Cold blood
[Repeat to fade]

7. One Step Behind

Cadence
Breathe out the line
Into the soil below
I'm one step, one step behind
And I will carry you home

Fearless
Open your eyes to learn
To feel the rising sea
Hear me
Don't let them in
To waste away your everything

When the loneliness ends
Will the panic begin?
I never know
Are we ever the same
All we need is a way
Where do we go?

Breathe in, breathe out the light
And leave your shadow behind
For this day your pain is mine
So let me carry the weight

Father
Forevermore
In dark, in light, remember me
Searching
Find in the name
The truth, the right, and take the lead

When the loneliness ends
Will the panic begin?
I never know
Are we ever the same
All we need is a way
Where do we go?
(Where do we go?)

When the loneliness ends
Will the panic begin?
I never know
Are we ever the same
All we need is a way
Where do we go?
Where do we go?

When the loneliness ends
Will the panic begin?
I never know
Are we ever the same
All we need is a way
Where do we go?
(Where do we go?)

When the loneliness ends
Will the panic begin?
I never know
Are we ever the same
All we need is a way
Where do we go?
(Where do we go?)

Cadence
Cadence
Cadence

8. Raining Down

The balance, the path is made
Nothing standing in my way
Indifferent, but turning gray
Over the fragile ground we laid

It may be calm for now
Oh, but somewhere else…

It’s raining down
Under the promise of a
Dark and heartless sky
Raining now
We know the flood is coming
Don’t close your eyes

The solace, the serenade
Every season in its place
The shelter, the only name
Holding misery at bay

It may be calm for now
Oh, but somewhere else…

It’s raining down
Under the promise of a
Dark and heartless sky
Raining now
We know the flood is coming
Don’t close your eyes

Raining down
Under the promise of a
Dark and heartless sky
Raining now
We know the flood is coming
Don’t close your eyes

Raining down
Under the promise of a
Dark and heartless sky
Raining now
We know the flood is coming
Don’t close your eyes

9. The End

I gave my life to see this through
Laid new ground before you
One more second to redeem myself
One more second, let the tension swell for me

There is no telling after this
Just how far the fall is
One more second 'fore the cord is cut
One more second to be dead enough for you

Ran to the mercy inside
Oh sacred hands
There in the place where I died
And you began

I need your affirmation
I lay my head, but I can't sleep
You are the end for me
I found my consolation
I made my peace, but I can't leave
You are the end for me

I feel my time begin to wane
No more try in vain now
One more second for a peace of mind
Once more second till the end of time for you

Ran to the mercy inside
Oh sacred hands
There in the place where I died
And you began

I need your affirmation
I lay my head, but I can't sleep
You are the end for me
I found my consolation
I made my peace, but I can't leave
You are the end for me

Ran to the mercy inside
Oh sacred hands
There in the place where I died
And you began

I need your affirmation
I lay my head, but I can't sleep
You are the end for me (You are the end)
I found my consolation
I made my peace, but I can't leave
You are the end for me (You are the end)
I need your affirmation
I lay my head, but I can't sleep
You are the end for me (You are the end)
I found my consolation
I made my peace, but I can't leave
You are the end for me (You are the end)

10. One Less

I'll be one less scattered, one less scarred
One less bound, one less divided
By the ground you laid, the damage made
I won't be sold into your hallucinated hell

I never wanted to be here inside the fallout
Affiliation is a redefining hearse
I'm not the only one, I need a name
To separate me from the weak and the feign

Build your walls (take in the blessed)
Hide them all (shut out the rest)
Black out the windows and quiet the world
Pray that the voices of few will be heard

You'll be the keeper of fate
Hailing the venomous prophet of late
You'll be the fork in the tongue
You'll be the reaper of none

I'll be one less scattered, one less scarred
One less bound, one less divided
By the ground you laid, the damage made
I won't be sold into your hallucinated hell

I never wanted to be counted with the others
I'm not afraid to be the only one alive
There is a rising, a new defining
To wake from the dead and defy

Build your walls (take in the blessed)
Hide them all (shut out the rest)
Black out the windows and quiet the world
Pray that the voices of few will be heard

You'll be the keeper of fate
Hailing the venomous prophet of late
You'll be the fork in the tongue
You'll be the reaper of none

I'll be one less scattered, one less scarred
One less bound, one less divided
By the ground you laid, the damage made
I won't be sold into your hallucinated hell

Don't let me hear you breathing
Crawling down my road
Don't let me hear you breathing
Crawling down my road
Don't let me hear you breathing
Crawling down my road

You'll be the keeper of fate
Hailing the venomous prophet of late
You'll be the fork in the tongue
You'll be the reaper of none

One less scattered, one less scarred
One less bound, one less divided
By the ground you laid, the damage made
I won't be sold into your hallucinated hell
One less scattered, one less scarred
One less bound, one less divided
By the ground you laid, the damage made
I won't be sold into your hallucinated hell

11. Patience

There is a solace, a reason divine
Beneath the breakage of the words we said
In my delusion you'd open your eyes
But that's a reasonless want of the dead

Oh

So tired of failing
Trying to filter these lines
I'm over the reeling
You should pray for...

Patience
Starting with me
No guarantee of the high road
Face it
You're starting to bleed
Caught in the teeth of a real life threat

You are the rope, the crippling coil
Around the neck of every chance we were
And I refuse to lie here in wait
And see the room begin to fade and blur

So tired of failing
Trying to filter these lines
I'm over the reeling
You should pray for...

Patience
Starting with me
No guarantee of the high road
Face it
You're starting to bleed
Caught in the teeth of a real life threat

Patience
Starting with me
No guarantee of the high road
Face it
You're starting to bleed
Caught in the teeth of a real life
Patience
Starting with me
No guarantee of the high road
Face it
You're starting to bleed
Caught in the teeth of a real life... threat

12. Slight The Odds

I woke up on the edge
I felt my heart ascend
My hands were shaking
I heard that call again
Will hope bleed out the fear
Before I disappear
I'll wait in patience
Until I find it here

Wake me for the cull
If I suffer awake, I'm afraid I won't make the end
Save me for the soul
In a moment forsaken, pray that you take it all

Cut my teeth against the grain
Let me die without the pain
Or live to slight the odds
Same old trouble after all
Will I go before I fall
Or live to slight the odds

We thought you made amends
You turned your heart against
Grew up and out of
I found my place in it
I will not die for less
I dug my grave in this
No redefining
I won't be like the rest

Wake me for the cull
If I suffer awake, I'm afraid I won't make the end
Save me for the soul
In a moment forsaken, pray that you take it all

Cut my teeth against the grain
Let me die without the pain
Or live to slight the odds
Same old trouble after all
Will I go before I fall
Or live to slight the odds

Let me die without the pain
Let me face it all the same
Let me die without the pain
Let me face it all the same
Let me die without the pain
Let me face it all the same
Let me die without the pain
Let me face it all the same

Cut my teeth against the grain
Let me die without the pain
Or live to slight the odds
Same old trouble after all
Will I go before I fall
Or live to slight the odds

Cut my teeth against the grain
Let me die without the pain
Or live to slight the odds
Same old trouble after all
Will I go before I fall
Or live to slight the odds

13. A Fear I Used To Know

[Deluxe Edition Bonus Track]

There was a time I had control
No chains around me
And inside I felt the calling, the pull
Too many times I gave my soul
To faltering hands
To shadows that would take me, break me down

God only knows how I cope with the pain
Of holding my hands on the flame
And nobody knows if the feeling will stay
But you won't forget my name

There's a fear I used to know
Fear of loss in letting go
Now my blood is running cold
There's a fear I used to know
Fear that hollowed out my soul
The weight has taken toll

You drew a crown around my word
Left fate to drown me
And I thought I could dismantle, disarm
No matter how I cut my ties
I fracture inside
Compulsion will define me, grind me down

God only knows how I cope with the pain
Of holding my hands on the flame
And nobody knows if the feeling will stay
But you won't forget my name

There's a fear I used to know
Fear of loss in letting go
Now my blood is running cold
There's a fear I used to know
Fear that hollowed out my soul
The weight has taken toll

Let me catch my breath
Follow the path given to me
Must be something left
Under the wreck, calling, pulling
Let me catch my breath
Follow the path given to me
Must be something left
Under the wreck, calling, pulling
Down
Down
Down

There's a fear I used to know
Fear of loss in letting go
Now my blood is running cold
There's a fear I used to know
Fear that hollowed out my soul
The weight has taken toll

There's a fear I used to know
Fear of loss in letting go
Now my blood is running cold
There's a fear I used to know
Fear that hollowed out my soul
The weight has taken toll

14. Savage

[Deluxe Edition Bonus Track]

Oh, keep it behind your eyes, no one has to know
Hide, let all who burn inside turn inside to stone

And every time you breathe, you feel it leave
Leave

I feel the static of a shadow in your place
I see a savage in the still upon your face

So, buried a thousand feet underneath your soul
Lie all of the vows you made, ties you laid to rest

And every time you breathe, you feel them leave
Leave

I feel the static of a shadow in your place
I see a savage in the still upon your face

I feel the static of a shadow in your place
I see a savage in the still upon your face
I feel the static of a shadow in your place
I see a savage in the still upon your face
