FILTH LYRICS

1. Seventh Seal

Fear of eternal sleep.
Take my hand, and life you shall defeat.
May the darkness take me, relinquishing me unto the blackest flame.
Death's icy grip lunges forward from the grave instilling fear within me.
A sense of panic leaves me locked in a gaze, for what I saw still haunts me 'til this day.
I cling to life beneath these sweat stained sheets.
It's all I've ever known.
It's all I'll ever be, but there's no turning back.
But there's no turning back.
Embrace the void with death up my spine.

Fear of eternal sleep.
What you've sewn now you must reap.
Fear of eternal sleep.
No! No more must you weep.

I cling to life beneath these sweat stained sheets.
It's all I've ever known.
It's all I'll ever be, but there's no turning back.
But there's no turning back, embrace the void with death up my spine
But there's no turning back, embrace the void with death up my spine
I feared in breathing, now I may rest my head.
Mourn the living, shed no tears for the dead.

2. Hedonist

Shed these shackles.
Existence makes the heart grow colder.
The pain of loss pushing me forward, but I can't shake this fear of growing older.

All I see are blank faces in the crowd, voices beckon me, but are void of sound. They're seeking to let me drown, let me drown. Over and over constantly pulling me down, let me drown.
Hands reach out in every direction catering to to the pleasures of the flesh. Ripping and tearing until there's nothing left.

Existence makes the heart grow colder.
The pain of loss pushing me forward, but I can't shake this fear of growing older.

Mortality means nothing to me, take my hand. Drown with me.

I release restraints, holding me down, I will break these chains, binding me.

Led to the water
Like a lamb to the slaughter,
Submerged with your son's and daughters.
I try to reach the surface but still I falter.

It waits in every shallow corner.
It waits for us all.

Mother of abomination I accept this gift of sin.

Shed the skin of humanity, and let deviance win.

3. Idle Hands

I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired.
Left alone with my thoughts just waiting to expire.
So you tell me compassion just isn't how you're wired.
For you I swear id lay it all on the line.

Give me my life back stay the fuck out of my mind.

I'm just a damaged, just a damaged man!

Once again I've let you slip right through my hands.
You've always lingered, it's something I can't stand.
Running through my fingers just like sand.

In the deepest chasm of my mind, you crawl back every time.
Say what you want but you where never mine.
You're just killing time.

So numb yourself and take another line, you're just killing time.
Whatever helps you sleep at night
Sleep at night.
You wear me out and drain me dry.

Something within me still won't let you die.
So numb yourself, take another line.
Suppression is the art of getting by. We're just killing time.

I refuse to give praise to your walking monument of shame.
You've always lingered, it's something I can't stand.
Running through my fingers just like sand.

4. Deprivation

The world's are waging war inside of my head
For the isolation has become my dearest friend.
Silence the chaos, fortify the mind.
What will I find lurking on the inside?
What will I find?

Deeper down into the stillness, where no light resides, just the maddening cries of my mind, where no light resides.
Contorted and frantically thrashing of limbs as I'm held down, but expected to swim.
Dragged through the abyss and then sentenced to drown.
As the void pulls me down.

Darkness envelopes me, one becomes two, a voice in the distance cries "I'm in here with you".
No one else deserves to be here.
You are all that I need.
A sacrament I give to thee.
Suffer to succeed.

The world's are waging war inside of my head. For the isolation has become my dearest friend.
I am finally whole. I've lost myself a long time ago.
But now I've found my mind.
Deeper down into the stillness.
Cast aside all life.

There is war waging inside of me.
Waging endlessly!

Exiled myself, searching only within.
Waging inside my head!

5. Mirrors

These mirrors are everywhere, forcing me to see what has always been there.
What lies beneath made plain as day.
The truth revealed to my dismay.

Man believes what he sees to be reality.
Our intentions residing in the dark.
Deviant desires run rampant in the mind and heart.
Destroy the ego.

As man we covet what we see.
Lost in our own vanity.
Our eyes have forsaken us.
There's a face staring back at me,
It's not me, nothings what it seems.
Destroy the ego. Destroy the ego!

The Old God's have met their end.
Every head shall bow, pay homage to the new kings.
Masturbation, and instant gratification, this is what we seek.
This is what we seek.

Look inside your mind, and you will find that we do not exist.
All we have is time, our lives must be eclipsed.
All we have is time, our lives must be eclipsed.

The downfall of humanity, struck down by what we cannot see.
There's a face staring back at me. It's not me!
Worship what we see.
There's a face staring back at me. It's not me.
Worship that which bleeds.
Worship, worship that which bleeds.

Total annihilation of the concept that I exist.
We are everything and nothing, residing in this world of shit.

6. Gloom

[feat. Aiden Versteegh of Falsifier]

The black coach of sorrow has arrived for me.
A putrid stench pervading the air, fills my lungs as I try to breathe.
Emerging forth from the abyss, darkness covers me.
Plaguing me of my insecurities.
May the shadows embrace me with the kiss of death.

May I suffer slow.
For the pain is all I know.
Struck by the blade of woe.
Baptized in sorrow.
Caught in the undertow.

Death come take me put an end to all my suffering.
I can't escape myself, my mind is the enemy.

Death come take me put an end to all my suffering. I can't escape myself, my mind is the enemy.

I'm trapped in this hollow shell, confined to a living hell. Deep within the cracks of solitude that is where my demons dwell.
Forcing me to pay penance.
I've brought this on myself.
Stuck in the muck of life, all my attempts have failed.

My mind is the enemy.
This life is suffocating me.
I'm trying so hard just to breathe.
I'm suffocated by these memories.

Life leaves so effortlessly, I am the thing that should not be.

[Aiden:]
The first breath is the beginning of death.
In this life I am my greatest foe met.
A lead filled isolation to make it all end.
Were all fucked, I'm just trying to clear my head.

No one can save me from myself.
Death has come for me this is the hand I'm dealt.
It's dead fingers grasping at my throat.
Let them know that I'm glad to go.

Life is filled with grief and sorrow, may I never see tomorrow.

[Dustin/Aiden:]
Life is filled with grief and sorrow, may I never live to see tomorrow.

7. Interlude

8. Collapse III

I seek perpetual darkness.
Cold and grim let me lay broken-hearted.
The vastness of silence bring me solace, for your emptiness is all I've ever wanted.
Sorrow painted signs along the streets, may these signs be the last for me.

They'll want to know what's wrong with me.
Thoughts of isolation haunting my dreams.
The way is plain even a fool can see my tormentor is me.

This is where they all go to die!

Seeking embrace to my own dismay, I could never be saved.
I've got this sinking sensation in the pit of my chest that existing was never enough, and I'm dead set on giving up.

I could have sworn I felt your heart stop beating.
Tighten the noose to cease your breathing.
Tighten the noose to cease your breathing.

One by one you will meet your untimely demise.
Numbing the sensation a creation of my mind.
I'd kill you again to relive it a second time.
This is where they all go to die.

I close my eyes to rid myself of this cruel design.

When I wake I'll no longer be me, may the sun never shine for me!

9. Misery Loves Company

I am spent, just wasting my days.
One step closer to lying in my grave.
As I wither away in know things can never be the same.

What is my purpose if I am not by your side, just existing with no end in sight?
I'm waiting to die.
This is no kind of life. You are nowhere to be found. I'm trapped in this endless hell, loves the greatest lie.
This is no kind of life. You are nowhere to be found. I'm trapped in this endless hell, loves the greatest lie.

So fragile so weak, laid waste at your feet. Must bend and submit before it is sent to die.

Hang me on display for the world to see.
Here lies what is left of the man that should not be.
Awaiting the void to devour me.

I've never felt so high (so high), I've never felt low (so low).
I've never felt so high (so high), I've never felt low (so low).

Sweet hand of death, bring me to my knees.

Purge these emotions because misery loves company.
Lost in my head, but not lost in you.
Who would have thought that my heart would tie the noose.
Such is the way of youth.

I've never felt so high, I've never felt so low.
This is the source of suffering.
Misery loves company.
I'll put an end to you and me.
End my suffering.
