1. Malbec Blood
They're burning malbec blood through a paper heart
Give 'em a glass connect or pull them out through their arms
Till all we see are forest fires in the eyes of our brothers
Walking alcoholic bottle bombs
We're terrorists till death
Malbec blood through a paper heart
Give 'em a glass connect or pull them out through their arms
Till all we see are forest fires in the eyes of our brothers
Walking alcoholic bottle bombs
We're terrorists till death
Malbec blood through a paper heart
Give 'em a glass connect or pull them out through their arms
Till all we see are forest fires in the eyes of our brothers
Walking alcoholic bottle bombs
We're terrorists till death
2. Shallow Believer
[feat. Matty Mullins of Memphis May Fire]
I feel the spirit like a dragon pouring out my mouth
I let the words burst off my tongue and then be blessed 'um
Kingdom come, your will be done
Iconoclast grinds
Stained glass windows to powder
I'll steal
I'll kill
I'll bleed and travail
I'll always fail you, fail you,
We walk in grace
It's how we live
Though we can't understand
It's how we live
This is our prayer for the new world
And its midnight sons
Every shallow believer
Every prophet
Every seer
One nation to share a song with all of creation
One nation to put our trust and our hope in the blood of god
Opening my eyes to see my lust for justice
Opening my eyes to see addiction to conquest
I'll stand down willingly
I will avenge
I will repay
Can a man ever truly understand god's grace?
This is our prayer for the new world
And its midnight sons
Every shallow believer
Every prophet
Every seer
One nation to share a song with all of creation
One nation to put our trust and our hope in the blood of god
This weight is on my shoulders
"Come up to breathe my son"
Is there anyone left to save me?
You said, "Become,
Become like me."
You always tell me I'm a sight unseen
But you've never felt the love
Until you've been here with me
"I'm always alone"
Yeah, you utter these words
But I will alone be here
Not a sound unheard
Not a sound unheard
This is our prayer for the new world
And its midnight sons
Every shallow believer
Every prophet
Every seer
One nation to share a song with all of creation
One nation to put our trust and our hope in the blood of god
3. El Rey
Bear with us killers and our predator nations
Soft target the doctors with malaria patients
The click at the door is now a brick through the window
I can smell the fear and I can see the sky dissolve
The highway
The highway is calling
Artery flows away from the heartland
The highway
The highway is calling
Far from the lies
Free of the sepsis
Back to, back to the water I'm feeling
To the river is all that I know, it's all that I know
We're holding every motive captive to a bayonet blade
As those about to die we salute to the districts
When every knuckle has been primed for a shattered jaw
Better to stab a dull shiv than roar chainsaw without a chain
I won't rest
I won't rest
I won't rest until I find you
I won't rest until we're face to face
Oh, oh
Oh, no, we can't stop here
Oh, no, we gotta reach the shore
Back to, back to the water I'm feeling
To the river is all that I know, it's all that I know
Under water, under the air
To the river is all that I know, it's all that I know
Rain, rain,
Rain down the flood
Rain, rain,
Rain down the flood
Rain, rain,
Rain down the flood
Rain, rain,
Rain down the flood
Rain, rain,
Rain down the flood
Rain, rain,
Rain down the flood
Rain, rain,
Rain down the flood
Rain, rain,
Rain down the flood
Rain down the flood
Rain down the flood
Rain down the flood
Rain down the flood
Back to, back to the water I'm feeling
To the river is all that I know, it's all that I know
Under water, under the air
To the river is all that I know, it's all that I know
4. Drags, Drugs, And Bones
I drag like morphine
Dead weight, spit me out
Have you created what you cannot contain?
Embalmed, I lost my life
I felt it pull out my nose
But I feel a new heart and it's rattling my bones
"Rise. Kill. Eat.
Rise. Take my name."
Can you handle the taste?
It's a race
So if you see you know, you go
Losing so much blood that it's feeling like a drug
Feeling like a drug
I'm a living ghost, a soul
Never gonna rest till I finally reach my home
Finally reach my home
And with the passion of a capulet
I'm an arson, and I come in peace
Only if you give me the fire that I crave
It's on the tip of my tongue
He's every song I have sung
Traded a novocain mouth for a hurricane tongue
And now my heart is full
And these hands are strong
I left a dead, dead walk
Dead, dead walk
Does the road lead uphill all the way?
Yes! To the very end
Will the day's journey take the whole long day?
From morning to night my dear, dear friend
So if you see you know, you go
Losing so much blood that it's feeling like a drug
Feeling like a drug
I'm a living ghost, a soul
Never gonna rest till I finally reach my home
Finally reach my home
Can't stop or give in until my heart stops beating
We've finally reached the shore
We've come so far
Won't stop till we know who you are
Woke to riots eating up my home a blade in every hand
I join for blood, blood, blood
'Cause I have found no cause that turns my bones to build or fill my lungs
So I will move until I'm spilling red and set it all ablaze
I'm dealing with the fear of understanding every word
I'm hearing, "Blood, blood, blood."
We are the failures, the dreamers, the scum of the earth
I'll be a beggar till the day I die
(One, two, three) It's failure, failure, failure, rest
Failure, failure, failure, rest
Failure, failure, failure, rest
Failure, failure, failure, rest
We will not rest until we see the new world
We will not rest until we're good and dead
We will not rest until we see the new world
We will not rest until we're good and dead
5. Millionaires
I raise my hands
Like a javelin in a lightning storm
The hunger pounds like a drum to our heads
Heart started stoppin' so just shock me with an AED
A nicotine fix my heart-itch consumes me
Bring us into life
(I'm alive, I can feel, I can taste, for the first time)
Bring us into life
(I'm alive, I can feel, I can see, I don't feel dead)
No one gazes me and lives
No one lives until they die
Once alone but not again
I'm yours until the end
No one understands the weight that I bore
Closed my eyes and I tasted death for
Every orphan everywhere
And alcoholic millionaires
So can you look at me now, and to the people who once were?
We used to carry this guilt on our backs
Live by the sword and learn to smile with your throat
Blood on our hands, but can't you see that's over?
Bring us into life
(I'm alive, I can feel, I can taste, for the first time)
Bring us into life
(I'm alive, I can feel, I can see, I don't feel dead)
I've made countless attempts to postpone
My impending failure
So cut with your imminent glory
And break off the millstone around my neck
No one gazes me and lives
No one lives until they die
Once alone but not again
I'm yours until the end
No one understands the weight that I bore
Closed my eyes and I tasted death for
Every orphan everywhere
And alcoholic millionaires
I'm yours until the end
Now I can see you sunk your claws into the dirt
Shifting orbits, drinking oceans, lifting valleys to my feet
But I took to my boats and I tasted sunken paths
I wound myself into the low and called the waters to their shores
Again you fought to bring me home and lifted low to spire
Rebuked the seas for heeding me and drained them once again
I'll do anything to see, so as I die make it slow
I swear I'll leave this earth in a wide-eyed drunken stare
No one gazes me and lives
No one lives until they die
Once alone but not again
I'm yours until the end
No one understands the weight that I bore
Closed my eyes and I tasted death for
Every orphan everywhere
And alcoholic millionaires
6. The Valley
Until my hollow bones are filled
I toss and turn at the mercy of the wind
Can you heal my soul?
Can you fix my bones?
I feel my outsides waste away
Can that spark inside be fanned into flame?
Can you heal my soul?
Can you find me air?
This is what, what it must mean to feel alive
The light has reached my eyes in the valley
Here it burns, but I don't burn away
My God if you have found me, let me see your face
It's not safe, but it's so good
Hey oh, turn me inside out 'cause I'm just a shell of a man
And maybe I still wonder
And maybe I still wonder how
I got this shadow that keeps pulling on me every single step that I take
It makes me prone to wander
So you can pull him underground
Where you lay, where you entered the gates for my sake
How ugly was your face in that moment?
But how beautiful you are to me always
You won't relent until you have it all
This is love that knows no ends
You have given your life to me and my friends
You won't hear his voice in the streets
A bruised reed he will not break
It's not safe, but it's so good
It's not safe, but it's so good
It's not safe, but it's all good
Hey oh, turn me inside out 'cause I'm just a shell of a man
And maybe I still wonder
And maybe I still wonder how
I got this shadow that keeps pulling on me every single step that I take
It makes me prone to wander
So you can pull him underground
With each passing wind the leaves twist and turn
Like forgotten souls in an unmarked world
Once was I lost, once was I found
Until the days mark my end I will love you
Until the King reveals his glorious thread
To a people lost in the wind, twisting and turning again
Hey oh, turn me inside out 'cause I'm just a shell of a man
And maybe I still wonder
And maybe I still wonder how
I got this shadow that keeps pulling on me every single step that I take
It makes me prone to wander
So you can pull him underground
Hey oh, turn me inside out 'cause I'm just a shell of a man
And maybe I still wonder
And maybe I still wonder how
I got this shadow that keeps pulling on me every single step that I take
It makes me prone to wander
So you can pull him underground
7. Alexandria 363
Seven years here, yeah you'd think we'd be dead
Seven years at the bottom digging wells, striking air
To endure (we endure!), is to conquer and destroy
I'll swing and drip with sweat until my fist connects
Man is immortal till his work's done
Shawshank till my heart stops
Tear drop. Capulet
Fully alive in my dagger death
The beast is loose the beast is free
steppin' on his head like an IED
Met the beast at the ocean
Now he's bleeding in the streets
When the air gets thin breathe again
Under blood!
To the west coast kids give my love
Under blood!
When the mob takes it all we know nothing but to rise
Keep a steady, steady stride
Good to live. Good to die
If you stomached your sword samurai, pull it out
If your skull leaks gin like a sink, sober up
Curtains up, it's a hundred million dollar brawl
It's not the dog in the fight
Crazy always beats strong
Tell the angels of the churches not to worry
I'm first in, in person, bustin' a verse of pure fury
Immersed in the Word, worthy to hold the seven stars in his hand
It's all part of the plan of Him who mans the martyr when you martyr the man
When the air gets thin breathe again
Under blood!
To the west coast kids give my love
Under blood!
When the mob takes it all we know nothing but to rise
Keep a steady steady stride
Good to live. Good to die
Every moment I live give it all
Under blood!
Gotta bury my fears, cut 'em off
Under blood!
When they split my stomach up and the pigs are at my guts
Got a Ghost by my side
Good to live. Good to die
We give it all
When the air gets thin breathe again
To the west coast kids give my love
When the air gets thin breathe again
Under blood!
To the west coast kids give my love
Under blood!
When the mob takes it all we know nothing but to rise
Keep a steady, steady stride
Good to live. Good to die
Every moment I live give it all
Under blood!
Gotta bury my fears, cut 'em off
Under blood!
When they split my stomach up and the pigs are at my guts
Got a Ghost by my side
Good to live. Good to die
8. It's In Our Blood
Beyond the bridge of the gods I caught a glimpse
Under the poplar trees it's raining gold
And I'm warm
I see a pattern, a progressive decline
One day we're gonna see the death cycle unwind
All things mortal were swallowed by Light
All things mortal have been swallowed by the Light
I just watched you dance
Through the mist and overcast
I just watched you dance
And I heard the earth cry "Allah."
From the foundations of the earth...
My brothers and sisters
Your eyes were meant to seek the face of God
Your ears to hear Him in the wind
Your air blows fresh into our lungs
Is this belief or is this love?
All praise to the Giver
(You're in our blood)
I got my head in the river
(You're in our blood)
Once we have seen we can't forget
Our lives were lost and now we live
All praise to the Giver
I got my head in the river
So as I toss and I turn
In the womb of the world
I know my Father's voice
I wanna hear Him clearly
I saw a river
I saw it wrap around the world
With our heads inside the flow
And our feet touching the earth
So who are you?
Do your steps make the world turn?
Do you usher in the new world?
Or do you sing for yourself?
Break every dam
And let the water heal the arid places
Break every dam
Send seven spirits back to wander
Your air blows fresh into our lungs
Is this belief or is this love?
All praise to the Giver
(You're in our blood)
I got my head in the river
(You're in our blood)
Once we have seen we can't forget
Our lives were lost and now we live
All praise to the Giver
I got my head in the river
Your air blows fresh into our lungs
Is this belief or is this love?
All praise to the Giver
(You're in our blood)
I got my head in the river
(You're in our blood)
Once we have seen we can't forget
Our lives were lost and now we live
All praise to the Giver
I got my head in the river
So I am just a simple failure
But let my praises haunt these canyons
I want more than just the thought of You
I want it all, I wanna see
I want more than just the thought of You
I want it all, I wanna see your face
9. Eclipse
Broken I look to my right
To the floor I am cut
My uncrowned Messiah lying in his blood
Sold for a kiss and two pockets of silver
Serving the sentence of bloodthirsty killers
Broken my God
Broken I walk
Piercing eclipse, solar flare my King blazes
Catalyst of a great nation
He raised us
Rising from bones and the wasteland he runs
To charge burning buildings and pull out his sons
Glory to my God
In glory I walk
10. The New World
Breathe in.
I'm a miscarriage to the new world, and my mother she spits me out.
Outburn Hell by bare knuckle enterprise.
Birthright pride with the stride of a monster.
Don't expect a passive man to snuff a fire out.
We're given eyes to see.
We're given hands to keep the peace.
Ears to hear the cries of the afflicted.
Hands to exact peace.
I wanna see You come back for us.
It's never meant to be this way this violent wind just makes me sick.
Come back so we trust again.
"I will avenge."
So turn world, and let the war torn saints cling to the cornerstone.
Like our fathers before us, to live is Christ.
For us to die is gain.
Standing firm is much more powerful than payback, and sweeter than revenge.
A whisper in the breeze finds me.
Legends of the dead come back haunting me.
A whisper in the breeze.
Until the end of the world all saints navigate by salvation's song, through torrents of crimson, but we never fall.
So I go inside.
It's time.
To be with you my love is my only desire.
You are my sweetest song.
I'll rush to tear down any door, until the earth ends and after.
To let you in.
11. Set My Face Like Flint
The standard will not be met with election
Our King is not their king
I met the man, I saw the face
I moved erratic, evasive, evasive
We're the dreaded backdraft of the arsonist King
We're the dreaded backdraft of the arsonist King
Long live the King
Come, come will you go?
Let's go! Go, go, go
Turn back and you'll never know
What it feels to burn like sun spot fire storms
Slaves to golden fumes
Come, come will you go?
Let's go! Go, go, go
Turn back and you'll never know
How it feels to have your voice like a glock snap, click back
Clearing out the room
The standard will not be met with a capitalist
Our King is not their king
I offered up my back
To those who beat me and spit in my face
I will not hide my face from you
I will not hide my face from you
I will not be put to shame
I will not be put to shame
Therefore I will set my face like flint
I will not be disgraced
I will not be put to shame
I will not be put to shame
Therefore I will set my face like flint
I will not be disgraced
I set my face like flint
Set my face like flint
I set my face
He pulled me out of the streets
He slammed my veins with kerosene
Bulimic fingers found the Ghost
And now I can't stop heaving
I have been leaking on the floor
You could call it bleeding
No time to stitch me up
This dead man walks
Bury me
Death couldn't hold my King
Bury me
And it cannot hold me
We're the dreaded backdraft of the arsonist King
We're the dreaded backdraft of the arsonist King
Come, come will you go?
Let's go! Go, go, go
Turn back and you'll never know
What it feels to burn like sun spot fire storms
Slaves to golden fumes
Come, come will you go?
Let's go! Go, go, go
Turn back and you'll never know
How it feels to have your voice like a glock snap, click back
Clearing out the room
Long live the King.
