HEART OF A COWARD LYRICS

1. Monstro

We won't be stopped

This place is no longer familiar
A stranger to all that you see
Trying in vain to conceal the cold fear in your eyes
Fear that strengthens me
We are the thorns in your spine
The voices that whisper in the back of your mind

We walked the circles of hell
No turning back now, we've come too far to fail

We won't be stopped

(Strength)
The strength that flows through me
(Flows)
Is flowing endlessly
Through all of the years it's only me that stands over you

Weakened by our anger, we were dangerous and on the edge
Beaten and broken with barely a breath, but alive (we are alive)
Moving like shadows at night
Patiently waiting in darkness, to embrace the light

We walked the circles of hell
No turning back now, we've come too far to fail

This shift cannot be denied
You can feel the imminent change
Now we are coming of age
We'll never fade away

I know we won't be stopped

No we won't be stopped

2. Prey

We have failed in such countless ways
All the memories, all of the wasted days
Another life spent, another regret
Another heart full of blind hatred
Held back by resentment we shared, now our torment is over
Face our fears and learn to reflect
We're better than this, than drowning in human nature

There is no chance to redeem ourselves
Nothing to say when the damage is done
It's time to move on
Reclaim our lives again

We have become the new breed of slave
Our obsession the respect that we crave
In the end we're only wasting away
So let's learn to live this life for today

Live!

This is our time
Our time to rise up

We can be all we want to become
We can be all we want to become

Rise up!

There is no way to deny our crimes
Nowhere to run when the truth is right there
And it's staring you, glaring at you
You tried so hard just to walk away

And there's no chance to redeem ourselves
Nothing to say when the truth is right there
And the damage is done
It's time to move on
Reclaim our lives again

We have become the new breed of slave
Our obsession the respect that we crave
In the end we're only wasting away
So let's learn to live this life for today

3. Distance

Lay this on me
Hear my secrets
Stay here with me
Close this distance

I give it all to you
I'll raise my guard
The only one who ever
Knew me at all
I've waited for so long
I've tried so hard
I've lied to you but you can see right through me

The consequences of my actions
I'd do anything to take it back
I hope you understand
Your wish is my command
I give my life in your hands

There's a promise that I made to you
That we'll last forever
Just know that when you're alone
We're in this together
And I will be there right by your side
When your heart feels like breaking
There is nothing to hold us back
This is ours for the taking

You shift from me
To deep waters
When you reached for my hand
I felt your strength subside
I pulled you up, but the life had nearly left your eyes
And for a second, I thought you were gone
But you were there, all along

I face the aftermath of my attacks
But I'd do anything to take it back
I'll take you to the end and bring you back again
I leave my life in your hands

There's a promise that I made to you
That we'll last forever
Just know that when you're alone
We're in this together
And I will be there right by your side
When your heart feels like breaking
There is nothing to hold us back
This is ours for the taking

In the face of failure,
Things will all fall apart
Find your inner strength
Search inside your heart

4. Nauseam

One second more of this
And we will lose our minds
Walking the path amidst the snake
And the vultures

I'll skin their words alive
To see what's deep inside
Manipulation and a breakdown
Of cultures

You'll point the finger
But the failure is your own
You'll bit the hand
That fucking feeds you

Been disconnected from your heart
For far too long
Now you're feeding up
The poison

Where will you go
Cause every bridge fucking burns
There will no sleep tonight
A life worth living
A lesson learned

Regression
Confusion

You'll be the very thing
That you make out to despise
You'll turn your back on the
Truth you need to see

And to be hated is your
Deepest
Darkest fear
But that's exactly what you'll be

Where will you go
Cause every bridge fucking burns
There will be no sleep tonight
A life worth living
A lesson learned
Where will you go

Cause every bridge fucking burns
There will be no sleep tonight
A life worth living
A lesson learned

Look for wolves amidst the sheep
As they pray upon the weak
The enemy lives inside of
ME

All victims
Of a common mindset

5. Deadweight

Deadweight.
You never knew things would come crashing down
Will you ever find the strength to recover now?
Did you ever think that you could run away?
Now bear the weight of your shame

It hurts me just to speak your name
When I lost you again and again
No longer will I be afraid
No longer will I feel this pain

I tried to rid myself of all that was plaguing my life
But I held onto you
So many times I should have just gone with my gut
When my instincts were true

Your words drip with malice and rage
There is no reason for the way you behave
I tried so hard not to turn my back
But there's is no saving someone who just cannot be saved
And now you act like this argument has a meaning or purpose
We are no more than animals fighting over a carcass

I push you away
This has to be the end
I'm left with no choice
You've lost your closest friend

I know what you think- that I must want you dead
But I never hated you
And now I must progress

I am not just going to sit back and watch you tear apart every aspect of my life
You've stripped every ounce of sympathy from my soul
I have no more time to waste on hearing your excuses
Get it through your head; I don't give a fuck!

You're nothing but dead weight.

6. Eclipsed

The brightest star casts the darkest shadow
The many outweigh the few
Now lead the way and we’ll blindly follow
The sun has set on the dreams that we knew

7. Psychophant

Why try to hide, what's inside your heart
When it's written all over your face
The very sight of you a burden to me
I long to break from your cycle (of deceit)
What is really even left of you?
Is their any decent person left?
Your very presence is a haze of disdain
You're like a parasite eating away.

Now answer me this…
Are you happy with your life?

How do you live with yourself?

How do you sleep at night?

No-one to call on when you're left here alone
You made your bed here now this hell is your home
Nothing to do now but just curl up and die
Psychophant -Your life is a lie

Now I know that you cannot be helped
Your life's a car crash and you won't wear a belt (go to hell)
Your obsession with your status and wealth
You make a mockery of yourself.

Did you think this day would come,
Did you think the past would fix itself,
Now your future lies in ruins.
Did you think this day would come,
Did you think the past would fix itself,
Now your left here alone.

Now answer me this - Are you happy with your life?

How do you live with yourself?

How do you sleep at night?

No-one to call on when you're left here alone
You made your bed here now this hell is your home
Nothing to do now but just curl up and die
Psychophant -Your life is a lie

8. Mirrors

We will overcome
We will scream from the top of our lungs
This the end

Our anger will not be extinguished
Their ignorance fanning the flames
No justification for their existence at all
So much to prove
Nothing to say

A collision of faces and names
Your social position - words on a page
Baring ourselves without shame for hollow friends
When will it end?

And through this war
We’ve lost the way
These mirrors now bear no real reflection at all
But you’ll know my name

We will overcome
We will scream from the top of our lungs
This world is ours

Such satisfaction to see us go under
Just the reaction of fools
What matters most to you?
Look in the mirror and ask yourself

Who am I?

Do you have the will to fight
For what you believe in?
Waiting the rest of our lives
Is our only weakness

[Chorus]

And through this war
We’ve lost the way
These mirrors now bear no real reflection at all
But you’ll know my name

9. Desensitise

Looking back
Tell me what the fuck are you
Expecting of me, filthy betrayer?
What you’ve done, time won’t heal or pacify
for this is time I’ll never relinquish

And every scar from you
Falls away with every layer of skin that I’m shedding
‘Til the flesh and bone has been hardened like this heart of stone
Get up, look at me, tell me what do you think you can see
Is it the person that you knew, or am I stronger than you’ll ever know
And if you want to know why
Just look in my eyes

Fear is nothing tonight
I’m still alive
I know soon I will be one with the thunder
One more second of light
Cos I’m still alive
And now nothing will keep pulling me under

Looking back
There’s no doubt left in my mind
You aren’t the same as regular people
Outcast.
What you’ve learned, can be easy to define
‘The pain that you’ll remember forever’

Fear is nothing tonight
I’m still alive
I know soon I will be one with thunder
One more second of light
Cos I’m still alive
And now nothing will keep pulling me under

Beneath the waves
Gone forever

10. Severance

To live this flagrant lie any longer is insanity
We’re falling right into a trap we laid ourselves
In a false sense of security
And now we’re paying the price
For all our foolish transgressions
Cowering away from the light
Leaning toward the depression

But now it’s clear that all those days are far behind us
This is the turning point where we will finally witness
The day our futures are no longer in question
Don’t say a word, just stay the fuck out of our business

All hope we had was slipping away
All we are has started to change
Severance
From this world

And now the time has come for us to be stronger
This life is more than just survival of the fittest
The day the weight of our regrets will be no longer
Be the weakness that will make all the difference

And now it’s clear that all those days are far behind us
This is the turning point where we will finally witness
The day our futures are no longer in question
Don’t say a word, just stay the fuck out of our business

All hope we had was slipping away
All we are has started to change
Severance
From this world

Worlds apart
Where no-one knows where a change of heart begins
Alone
Carry on,
But no-one will know which way to go ahead

Walk into the dark, where the nightmares are becoming so real
Where the air doesn’t quite taste the same, where the shadows are speaking our names
Is a stranger a friend that just hasn’t arrived in our lives, or maybe they’re just another cold face to despise
Time passes slowly by- our light begins to fade
Make the choice to live or to die….we must not fail
We must learn to look further than inches in front of our withering eyes
Now this failure’s no longer an option…we are strong…we will rise!
