DEMON HUNTER LYRICS

1. Crucifix

We will trample on our children till this world is flooded red
No boundary for depravity, no silence for the dead
Now weep for the life that you’ve lead
We will follow vacant voices into our shallow graves
Reiterate the verses of some self-consuming slave

Now pay for the Hell that you praise

Every curse, lie, violation of our lives
Every careless error of breath, corruption of our minds
All the blood and the shame, defamation of name
The weight of a wicked world
Embodied on a thankless crucifix
Embodied on a blood-soaked crucifix

The sacrament is broken, and all I see is red
The idols of humanity, they tower overhead
Now weep for the life that you’ve lead
The gates have severed open, setting death upon this place
Compelling us to hope in a revolting human race

Now pay for the Hell that you praise

Every curse, lie, violation of our lives
Every careless error of breath, corruption of our minds
All the blood and the shame, defamation of name
The weight of a wicked world
Embodied on a thankless crucifix
Embodied on a blood-soaked crucifix

Thine eyes have seen
Sometimes I close my eyes to escape this crooked place
It seems these fools… well, they never learn
I guess it’s easy to see the world the way I do
The emptiness is a promise, the sin is just the proof

Embodied on a thankless crucifix
Embodied on a blood-soaked crucifix

Thine eyes have seen

2. God Forsaken

So my dissent was a shallow defense I made to lay waste to the powers of fate
And all the blame I carry around my neck, a dead cycle of pain that I chase to find my way

When the sovereign comes to me
I eclipse in the shadow’s veil
Killing all I seek to be
For the passing vain inhale
A fall to the fires of Hell never failed to awaken
Though my soul ascends, in the darkness of my heart again... I’m God forsaken

With every turn I fail to learn my path and it’s wearing down my days
To be the voice of a half-dead, suffering age
A never-ending seek that I chase to find my way

When the sovereign comes to me
I eclipse in the shadow’s veil
Killing all I seek to be
For the passing vain inhale
A fall to the fires of Hell never failed to awaken
Though my soul ascends, in the darkness of my heart again... I’m God forsaken

Now the grave is all I see
A fall to the fires of Hell never failed to awaken
Though my soul ascends, in the darkness of my heart again...
I'm God forsaken

3. My Destiny

I cast my heart unto the beast
Unto my sin
I would never find my faith
In this belief unseen again

The solitude of youth
My conscience wearing thin
I will suffer my infliction
As a desecrated man

But the fear
The blood, the sweat and sound
They brought me here
To wait for the will to appear

We were blinded by the sacred light
They carried us away
Like a razor through the dark that night
My destiny

Now the weight of living word
Come calling true
And my heart will drink the blood of death
My soul forever knew

On the reverence of a voice
My clarity of you
The king of whom I never was
Has run my spirit through

But the fear
The blood, the sweat and sound
They brought me here
To wait for the will to appear

We were blinded by the sacred light
They carried us away
Like a razor through the dark that night
My destiny

We were blinded by the sacred light
They carried us away
Like a razor through the dark that night
My destiny

We will carry that flame

To wait for the will to appear

We were blinded by the sacred light
They carried us away
Like a razor through the dark that night
My destiny

We were blinded by the sacred light
They carried us away
Like a razor through the dark that night
My destiny

The fire is in our name
We will carry that flame
The fire is in our name
We will carry that flame

4. Wake

Lay your fear on the line and wake up
Now solitude of will has held you still against that wall
Dividing soul from self, you cannot help but to dissolve
Back down
Don’t come crying for help when the fire surrounds you
When desperation calls you will obey
Don’t you follow the mass to an endless grave
You’ve cut that vital main, now...
Lay your fear on the line and wake up
Lifeless years, unholy tears
Throw your panic aside and let go
Pain will bring to light your fears
The gravity of death is on your breath, it dwells inside
Hold fast to your distraction, feed ambivalence your time
Hold your breath, retain your silence
I don’t buy your self-reliant soul

5. Tomorrow Never Comes

Is there nothing I can say?
When you turn around and carry on this way
Have you lost the path we made?
When your fear had pulled you far away from grace
See you fading out again
All your promises are taken with the wind
And if tomorrow never comes for all the cold and bitter ones... we can breathe
And if tomorrow never comes for all the cold and bitter ones... let us sleep
Did they still your beating heart? (all the soul you gave)
Did they take your words and tear them all apart?
Does it kill to let it go? (sacrifice your name)
I hope if follows you and breaks your frail bones
Here we are, one final time
To go and leave your soul behind

6. Someone To Hate

A figure for the closing of time, the antagonist divine
Void of vacant word, one final answer to be heard
I will carry my decree into a storm of lead
This is total war, my want for tolerance is dead

To my last breath
I am someone to hate
I will spit upon the idol for which you stand
I will carry the weight
I will bury your deception with a wrathful hand

Heart is cold, and my weapons are washed in blood
I avow to the call on high
My resolve in the blessed above, in this ever-consuming divide

A figure for the closing of time, the antithesis defined
Threat to faith untrue, I am the enemy of new
All you advocates of Hell, you corruptors of free will
The culling is nigh, better get your fill

I am the cry for the falling of time

Born into the lust within our eyes
Taught to write the scriptures for our lives
We inherit the lies

To my last breath, to my final day

7. This I Know

Let my soul be a silent storm
Conceived in the fire of war
I am the ruthless bane of a wicked world and I pray on the killing floor
When I carve my name across this place it is to defile its vain and vile ways
With every breath like a threat for tomorrow’s embrace
And the battle is my way
I will go this path alone
I will take unto my prey, this I know
All others will fall
Let my will be a violent path to tear apart what’s left
All Hell falls down around my feet when I speak with a word of wrath
And the battle is my way
I will go this path alone
I will take unto my prey, this I know
All my life will sing the pain
My suffering will show
In the fight I find my name, this I know
The blade of my call
One name above all
All others will fall

8. Means To An End

[Instrumental]

9. We Don't Care

This is the end of everything
A degenerate culture’s elegy

Now the reaper is waiting at the door
Drunk on our blood and craving more
This is the sound of a thousand holy feet treading on a soon forgotten grave
This is a life-long declaration of war, no sacrifice in vain
Let them remember the name
Feels like we’ve run out of air
They tear the breath out from our lungs
And we don’t care
Feels like we’ve run out of air
Damnation passed down to our sons
And we don’t care
Witness the end of apathy
We have embraced our suffering
Will the pain illuminate our fall?
Or will we see the blame at all?
No compromise to end
We’ll wash the blood off from our hands and fight again

Remember the name

10. Resistance

Conviction was your shelter
Boarded up, rejected, left behind

To lower life where aimless spirits die
Suffer your indifference
Tie that troubled stone around your neck
Exalt your fall and hear your mother’s cry
Colder now
Thank your hopeful solitude it’s colder now
Throw your blackened heart into
Resistance (You had reason in your hands and you walked away)
Resistance
(Your time will not outlive your debt to pay)
Resistance (You had reason in your hands and you walked away)
Resistance

Defiance on this day
This plague is not your savior
Turn the barrel’s eyes upon this strife
The truth, it will reveal that fading line
There is a kingdom beyond your eyes
Whole of redemption, defining will
The path of self is wrought with fatal lies
Send them back to Hell

11. Dead Flowers

I feel ashamed
With abandon in my heart
And on my face

I suffered the blame
I would show you this way
But I'm too late

When the sorrow it breaks them
I will replace them
For you

Dead flowers for the torn apart
Laid at the grave
To heal a broken heart
Let it rain until it floods
Let the sun breathe life once more
Reborn

Wish you the same
To walk beside
And carry on this flame

To see you again
With a radiance
Of a pure and holy name

When the sorrow it breaks them
I will replace them
For you

Dead flowers for the torn apart
Laid at the grave
To heal a broken heart
Let it rain until it floods
Let the sun breathe life once more
Reborn

Dead flowers for the torn apart
Laid at the grave
To heal a broken heart
Let it rain until it floods
Let the sun breathe life once more
Reborn

Dead flowers for the torn apart [3x]

Let it rain until it floods
Let the sun breathe life once more
Reborn

Dead flowers for the torn apart [10x]

12. What Is Left

[Deluxe Edition Bonus Track]

I saw you through my window
I let you crawl inside
Your face became my shadow
Your voice became my guide
What is left?
I take what I can get, and black out all the rest
What is left?
Some words that I forget, and more I regret
I came here alone
I thought you’d gone
I left you in bones at the end of the road
I came here alone
The long way home
I left you in bones at the end of the road
I’m trying to evade you
I’m dying to be done
One solemn night I’ll take you down the barrel of my gun

13. I Am A Stone

[Deluxe Edition Bonus Track]

It’s hard to say that I’m back on a straight line
You’ll see my path is in fact just a fault line
It’s in my blood, it’s in my lungs, and it won’t die
I fight these words, I bite my tongue, so I don’t lie
Though it’s me to blame, there is no more shame in me
I just feel the same, immune to all this pain
And the scars don’t write a song for me at all
I am a stone, unaffected
Rain Hell down onto me
Flesh and bone, unaffected
Your fool I will not be
I tried to see and believe in the short-sight
Accept the burn of a vain and a half life
And how you rest your faith in these for a lifetime
The hollow lie against my hope that I won’t buy
No, your tears won’t line a path for me to crawl
The waters rise above my eyes
I will breathe it in and go out with the tide
And when you think this is the end
You will find me there where I have always been
