EVERLOST LYRICS

1. Intro

[Instrumental]

2. Demolishing The Ruins

Demolishing the ruins of ambivalence
Inhale the wrath of mortal flesh
Which defies the tyrannies of existence
Burning down to be reborn from ash

The adepts of the certain life
Soon they will be there
Proud to demonstrate their scars
Beings infected by the words so fair
Put at once behind your bars

Kneel as you approach
The ruins still to be demolished
By the one becoming obsolete

Demolishing the ruins
Prepare to celebrate
Beginning of the end
Demolishing the ruins
Of the one who doesn't bear the brand

Hey, bringer of faith
Searching for dreams to invade
With the privileged lies
The beast in its disguise

Hey, bringer of hate
Prepare to celebrate
Beginning of the end
Of the one who doesn't bear the brand

3. All Your Virtues

I take it while I can
On a way to the promised hell
I think, therefore I am
I sin, therefore I’m well

Until you hit the ground
That you curse from above
Until redemption is near
The hesitation itself
As to whether you need
To commit or omit
It's out of fashion in here

Until you hit the road
That your intentions pave
Until the final recall
Don't you have any doubts
As to whether you are
To devote or devour
It's out of question at all

So when you're searching
For the greater of all evils
Be sure to seek among your greatest deeds
All your virtues
Will be enough to let you
Cross the river free of charge

I take it while I can
I sin, therefore I am
The hesitation itself
As to whether you need
To commit or omit
It's out of fashion in here

4. They Say

Why did you grow attached to
All the pain that your life brings?
How come you found comfort
In pulling your own strings?

Don't speak these words
They fall on stony ground
In sands of time they drown

They say
No more wars in vain
They say it won't be the same
That's what they say
They reassure that no offence meant
By sacrificing you on the altar called Earth

Is it your way to struggle
For the gods which you can't face
How could you end up bowing
To your own former slaves?

A kind of pawn you're unable to queen - step aside
As if it wasn't your dreams you gave in - never mind!
A perfect hell for the ignorant - suits you fine
It makes you toe their line

Don't speak these words
For they will melt away
In all the things they say

5. Synthetic Masterpiece

You're manufacturing your own obsession
By the paroxysmal escapism
By the artificial senses
Fostered to provide protection
From the justified cannibalism

Wasting dreams you never had
Spilling blood you never bled
For the virtues that are force fed

Built to lust on blinded bliss
A synthetic masterpiece
You will never feel alone
In the gallery of scorn

You're attending this dramatic coronation
Of the self-inflicted sacrilege
Of the unforbidden myths
Once held in abomination
Behold them burning the last bridge

6. P.I.G.

Will you be the carrion to inspire
The ravens of lust
Will you please the weak empire
The only kind that lasts
After all the tributes
To the bloody regime
You'll have to pay the price
For being canonized

Still you lack things to believe in
In the world of make-believe
A life to die for is hardly worth living
When it hurts to live

The vulture in human form
Put into greatness by the swarm

Will you search for martyrdom
To redeem the righteous hate
Will you refight the battles won
Without the bondages of faith
With all the powers you hold
Will you ever dare
To practice what you preach
To face the one you leech

Pleasant is truth but the one you evade
Vicious are dreams but the ones you create
Those feeding desire to manipulate

Scars of submission are too deep to be healed
When the damage inflicted to the one who won't bleed
The one who will nourish the machine as you did

7. Icons Of The Past

We are the species of the dead
Forever trying to return the fled
Which we've lost, but never had
Be careful what you ignore
Be careful what you adore
Ideals will have you trapped forevermore

Reopened wounds won't stay unseen
It's time to face what might have been

Don't you know
That regrets don't die
They'll be gathered like the stones you cast
Don't you ever set them free, no!
Don't you waste your time
Praying hard before the icons of the past

We do not trouble to count the cost
While trying to rebuild the lost
While it's pleasant memories that hurt the most
Be careful what you reveal
Be careful what you conceal
False jewels look the most real

8. Noize

Don't leave it and don't take it
Don't feel yourself mistaken
Feel free to look upon the world
The noise has grown violent
But death alone is silent
And my day is not

I'm not your god
Nor am I devil at your door
I'm just an ear-breaking whisper
I tell and you adore

The victories far-fetched
Hear everything but your own voice
And welcome with your arms outstretched
Millennium of noise

I'm not your conscience
Though can't escape your head
Once you have ceased to be, I'll leave you be
I swear you won't regret

The victories far-fetched
Hear everything but your own voice
And welcome with your arms outstretched
Millennium of noise

Deaf to sorry pleas
Noise of man and noise of beast

9. The Ministry Of Truth

Crowned with purified illusion
Right behind the throne you stand
Get me rid of your religion
The religion of the damned

Stripped of all the gifts corrupt
They cease to live and cease to die
It is rude to interrupt
While you are preaching genocide

You're keeping the hands on the pulse
Of the mentally deranged
They are helpless, speechless
And too blind to be afraid of the world

Of your world that spins no more
Of the hatred that you brought
Right into the hearts of youth
The ministry of truth

Keeping the hands on the pulse
Of the mentally deranged
But it's their right
To nourish the mutual hate
Hate for the world

For your world that spins no more
Due to madness that you brought
Right into the minds of youth
The ministry of truth

10. Fabric Of Chronology

Now, who will be another saint
To inhabit the death row
Axiomatic equilibrium
Stained by the venom of the flow
The surest poison
You are the one to blame
The surest poison
For idols with the feet of clay

Now, who will be another sinner
To incur the blessings
Of the invisible sentencer
To wear one of his faces
The cruel savior
You are the one to blame
The cruel savior
I dare to take thy name in vain

Paths of the centuries
Are made by neither demons nor angels
They're but a threads in the fabric of chronology
A part of its silent grandeur

11. Сто миров

Я терпел это, сколько мог,
Но терпению есть предел.
Я читал мысли между строк
Но остался не у дел.

Ты угнетаешь меня.
Я проклинаю тот день.
Я упираюсь в тупик.
Правда лишь в том, что теперь
Я — словно загнанный зверь.
Но пойми и поверь:
Я убегал от потерь.

Ты не отправишься в путь:
Дорога слишком длинна.
Я не пойду за тобой.
Сомнений нет, что теперь
Назад закрыты пути.
Ты — изгой, ты — чужой.
Сгораешь в страсти и лжи.

Всё, что искал я здесь,
Исчезло без следа.
Прости, но всё же
По дороге в царство снов
Я скрою тайну ста миров.

Я терпел это, сколько мог,
Но терпению есть предел.
Сомнений нет, что теперь
Назад закрыты пути.
Я — изгой, я — чужой.
Сгораю в страсти и лжи.
