DIRGE WITHIN LYRICS

1. (Intro) Bloodletting

2. For My Enemies

Remember when you said
That I would never amount
And never live up to anything
Saying that I would somehow lose control
And become a failure

Fight [4x]
Everyday was a fight to survive
'til I embraced this life
Put my middle finger up to the sky

This is a war
As I prepare for victory
Just admit defeat
Just admit defeat

Now I will take this anthem
And I will shove it down your throat
This is my turn in the spotlight

Tell me what is left
But killing fields of all that doubted me
'cause this is not for me
This is for my enemies

For every time you tried
Tried to make me feel like
That I would never become something more
And I'd never leave this place I called a home
This is me saying fuck you

Fight [4x]
Everyday was a fight
But now I can enjoy my prize
Knowing now that you were always wrong

This is a war
As I prepare for victory
Just admit defeat
Just admit defeat

Now I will take this anthem
And I will shove it down your throat
This is my turn in the spotlight

Tell me what is left
But killing fields of all that doubted me
'cause this is not for me
This is for my enemies

C'mon

This is for my enemies

Now I will take this anthem
And I will shove it down your throat
This is my turn in the spotlight

Tell me what is left
But killing fields of all that doubted me
'cause this is not for me
This is for my enemies

This is not for me
This is for my enemies

3. As We Prey

Carry out my sentence with urgency
So I cannot pretend
I cannot fantasize
That this was just a passing phase
And when I
Look up and see your face
It burns a hole very deep inside my brain
Gave up everything
To show you the real me inside

The one I see
In my own reflection

As we wait for things to fall into place
Suffocate
With every breath that I take
And I won't believe that this was just a dream
'Til we're saved
So just prey on me

Please
Carry out my sentence before I bleed
And put me in the ground
Or help me rise again
Cause only you have the power to set me free
So
Do we tempt our fate
And take a piece of the poison apple?
We gave up everything

Just to prove that this is real
And not just an untimely tragedy

As we wait for things to fall into place
Suffocate
With every breath that I take
And I won’t believe that this was just a dream
‘Til we're saved
So just prey on me

What is the story about?
Everything I’ve ever known
In my world comes crashing down
With all that’s inside of me
My chest about to explode
Now this is my reality

What is the story about?
Everything we’ve ever known
In our world comes crashing down
With all that’s inside of you
Your chest about to explode
Now this is your reality

As we wait for things to fall into place
Suffocate
With every breath that I take
And I won’t believe that this was just a dream
‘Til we're saved
So just prey on me

4. Memories

I lie asleep
A portrait of what we
Want to believe
This is never ending
You left me with uncertainty
If only I had listened
Everything inside of me
Will never keep you here

When this fight comes to an end
I just wanna be with you again

Here I am, with the memories
Back and forth again
Such a distant voice
And it calls to me, with the memories
That I'm drowning in
With my dying breath

No words to speak
No one to hear me scream
Uncertainty is still taking over
What's left of me, I cannot be
If only I had listened
Dying for an answer
As I stand above your name

When this fight comes to an end
I just wanna be with you again

Here I am, with the memories
Back and forth again
Such a distant voice
And it calls to me, with the memories
That I'm drowning in
With my dying breath
Once again...

What's understated
There will be an end
What's overrated
All the words we left unsaid

Memories...
Memories are all we have
Memories...
Memories are all we have

Here I am, with the memories
Back and forth again
Such a distant voice
And it calls to me, with the memories
That I'm drowning in
With my dying breath
Once again...

5. Absolution

This hate rising
Will it come and suffer me?
This is war on all sides
All the same fights
Are fought again
My fist, your face, my retribution
Calling all lies for this new constitution
And if this continues
We ll see the end

Every day of my life
I get sick of this fight
But I will defend my honor

Give me one more chance
To find your weaknesses
As the blood in my veins
Courses, unchanged
I will defend
No life no death, just execution
Setting my sights on this final solution

All your false pretenses
Will fade away

Every day of my life
I get sick of this fight
But I will defend my honor

This is absolution
There is nothing left for you to say to me
I am resolution
Apologies mean nothing to me

But I still repent

I will defend my honor
(HEY! HEY! HEY! HEY! HEY! HEY! HEY!)

This is absolution
There is nothing left for you to say to me
I am resolution
Apologies mean nothing to me

To me!

6. Without You

Tell me now, how could I see this coming
One last kiss before we said goodbye
I still feel your finger tips upon me
I can't think no matter how hard I try.

When the walls are falling, will you leave again?

Every day I have to give up trying
I am dying here without you.
And everyday I have to keep denying,
I just can't live my life without you.
I cannot live without you!

Just one look
You had me falling to your every wish
You cracked this heart of stone
All my life I have been waiting for you
Now I'm all alone

When the walls are falling, will you leave again?

Every day I have to give up trying
I am dying here without you.
And everyday I have to keep denying,
I just can't live my life without you.
I cannot live without you!

Oh wooo [x4]

Every day I have to give up trying
I am dying here without you.
And everyday I have to keep denying,
I just can't live my life without you, without you.

7. There Will Be Blood

Prepare yourself for the eradication
The extermination of the human condition
We clear the streets as all the buildings collapse
And all the fire from the crackers start to burn us alive

Your whole disorder unleashed

The Sun is faded as we destroy the skies
We find the truth from the lies
Now we'll never escape this
Remembering all the warnings they gave us
Our lives have betrayed us
And now we will all die

Your vanity has sealed our fate

The fires black the Sky
The air is choked with sulfur
Your arms cry out to Heaven
There will be blood
On our hands

This disease has infected
The cancer of our time
With our world left neglected
It swallows us alive
Swallows us alive

From the ashes a new order will arrive
They are the ones that survive
They are the new beginning
They rebuild just to follow
Countless acts they will repeat

The cycle begins again

The fires black the Sky
The air is choked with sulfur
Your arms cry out to Heaven
There will be blood
There will be blood

8. A.L.F.

Is this our final chapter?
Is this our final stand?
Will we have an answer
As the world dies by our own hand?
Can we escape the future?
Can we redeem ourselves?
As the time comes creeping closer
A bullet train to our own Hell

As the sky opens up
To reveal what s to come
What will we choose to believe?
(CHOOSE TO BELIEVE!)
As all light is fading
And all hope is gone
Will this truly be the end?
(TRULY BE THE END!)

Are these words too late?

Is this our Armageddon?
Is this the end of days?
Blinded ignorance and
Vanity have laid us to waste
There is no resurrection
There is no turning back
As we stare up to the heavens
Who knew this day would be our last?

As the sky opens up
To reveal what s to come
What will we choose to believe?
(CHOOSE TO BELIEVE!)
As all light is fading
And all hope is gone
Will this truly be the end?
(TRULY BE THE END!)

Are these words too late?

As the sky opens up
Who will we choose to believe?

As the sky opens up
To reveal what s to come
What will we choose to believe?
(CHOOSE TO BELIEVE!)
As all light is fading
And all hope is gone
Will this truly be the end?
(TRULY BE THE END!)

Are these word too late?
AS WE WAIT TO DIE!
Are these words too late?

9. Vultures

I stand a martyr
Looking down upon all my failures
Why can't I see this is my new reality

I falter

This is the final breath of ignorance and denial
The pain inside of me is driven by the guilt and fame
And all this will devour

No one can see
The man inside of me
The breath in front of me
I must walk alone

I falter

This is not an illusion
I will not be the one who dies unknown
(You'll be the one who dies alone)
For the sake of vengeance
The vultures circle above my fate

(As I walk the road that stands in front of me, I will fear no death, I will fear no evil. Stricken by the hand given to me from God, I will find the answer.

The truth stands before my eyes, and I will breathe in forgiveness, for I am...)
REDEEMED!

I am the one who takes revenge
I am the one who saves his soul
I have the strength to carry on
I am FOREVER

This is not an illusion
I will not be the one who dies unknown
(You'll be the one who dies alone)
For the sake of vengeance
The vultures circle above my fate

10. Murder ... Savior

A line has been drawn in the sand
I forbid you to cross it
Taking my time off the plague
Washing the sickness away
I can not stop this for it is my fate
Baptized in death I was made to erase all the swine

Blood has now became the only release
Of all the voices inside of my head
I will not stop till my job is complete
Dead or alive or just better off dead

Murder... savior
Look at your life
I am your death
I am the bringer of eternal rest
Look at your life
I am your death
I am nothing

Your simple regrets from the sin
I enslave to this process within
The mirrors gazes a unholy place
As I crushed it all over my face
I'll take what is rightfully mine
Denying the angels a plot of the lamb

Blood has now became the only release
Of all the voices inside of my head
I will not stop till my job is complete
Dead or alive or just better off dead

Murder... savior
Look at your life
I am your death
I am the bringer of eternal rest
Look at your life
I am your death
I am nothing

I will live, live forever
And through my days I will escape September
This is real, I am your murder... savior
And my heart set, I will end your suffering

You will not get away
And there is no escape
Just try to accept that you
Belong to me

Do you believe in God?
Do you believe in God?

11. Apathy

Apathy
This is the end of me

Apathy
This is the end of everything

12. Wolverine Blues

[originally by Entombed]

What you believe
is the vanity you conceive
What you love you don't pen
to put in a cage is to put to an end

Enamored of the passion
life-sucking lust
you will never gain my trust

I'm a misanthropical breed
insatiable in my need to feed

Utterly fearless
for your luscious flesh
I've got an appetite like a war
and I always hunger for more

Vicious mammal
the blood is my call
pound for pound
I am the most vicious of all
