KINGDOM OF GIANTS LYRICS

1. Lion's Mouth

Drifting through the desert you will find them
Pledging allegiance to pursuits of immortality
You think they're misled and blind to the truth
When they essentially believe the same fucking thing as you

Their very core beliefs permeate our city streets
A death cult convening on every Sunday
A single spark of doubt Illuminates the darkest corners
You're casting shadows on the walls ignoring your desires
You claim "divinity"
I insist it's insanity
When let loose the hounds of hell won't tell us apart
They'll rip us apart
They won't tell us apart
Every man, woman, child
They'll rip them apart
Blasphemous or innocent
We'll be blown apart.

I don't need a lion's mouth to command greatness
I don't need a lion's mouth to bring the storm

Burden ignorance with understanding
To the "kings" and the churches "saints"
To everything that is weak with age
Crawl back to the caves that you came from
Choke on the scripture every last page.

A single spark of doubt Illuminates the darkest corners
You're casting shadows on the walls ignoring your desires
You claim "divinity".
I insist it's insanity
When let loose the hounds of hell won't tell us apart
They'll rip us apart
They won't tell us apart
Every man, woman, child
They'll rip them apart
Blasphemous or innocent
They'll rip the world apart

I don't need a lion's mouth to command greatness
I don't need a lion's mouth to bring the storm

2. Eternal Burn

Your so-called "faith"
your precious path through Heaven's Gates
What is the price you'll pay living a life of hate?
You focus on the past and Holy Ghost
when your fellow man and present are what matters most
So sweep your filth under the carpet
Always remember:
No harm, no foul,
No guilt, no conscience

You seem to think there's only two ways out
Beneath the surface or above the clouds

What if I could show you that we all are one?
What if I could show you we were born from love?
What if I could show you that we all are one?
What if I could show you we were born from love?
Will I burn? Will I burn?
Can I speak my mind or am I out of turn?

I know its up to me, and I know it's hard to breath
I know it's up to me, and timing is everything
And now it's killing me, I'm foreseeing everything
Your hopes are upon a shelf
History repeats itself

Just know that fear does not control me
It's just a product of imagination
Fear does not control me
It's deprivation to my self creation
Burn

You seem to think there's only two ways out
Beneath the surface or above the clouds

What if I could show you that we all are one?
What if I could show you we were born from love?
What if I could show you that we all are one?
What if I could show you we were born from love?
Will I burn? Will I burn?
Can I speak my mind or am I out of turn?
Will I burn? Will I burn?
Can I speak my mind or am I out of turn?

I'd rather die standing on my feet than live a sheltered life from on my knees
If we are here 'til the end of time
Let's take a chance and give love a try
I'd rather die standing on my feet, than live a sheltered life from on my knees
There's so much more to learn without living in fear of eternal burn
Without living in fear of eternal burn
Can I speak my mind or am I out of turn?
I'd rather die standing on my feet than live a sheltered life from on my knees
If we are here till the end of time, let's take a chance and give love a try
I'd rather die standing on my feet, than live a sheltered life from on my knees
There's so much more to learn without living in fear of eternal burn

3. Endure

[feat. Ricky Armellino of This Or The Apocalypse]

All I feel are parasites
And all I see are blinding lights
They've been brought here to shield your eyes
I might be hurt but I can fight, I can fight
I can fight

Terrified but I don't shake
My mind is ready I won't wait
These hands hold a story
Of hardship and heartbreak

We've been buried alive
Thrown out and left here to die
The doors of change have been
Locked from either side
Now the waters where I learned to swim
Will be the same that I drown my shame in

The vultures circle us
Showing us what's to come
Oh they hail the sun
And cast their shadows on everyone
Where were you the day we took it back?
Where were you when love was all we had?
I won't sit back and relax
Not while we're still fighting back
Where were you when love was all we had?

Time doesn't go back, doesn't go back
To the time that we thought that we had
I stare at the ground in my sleep
These things keep on following me
I tear apart all of the thread
That gave me a place to put down my head
Hide my fucking face
How many possibilities exist inside your world?
When you gonna wrap your head around?
What we've endured? What we've endured?

We've been buried alive
Thrown out and left here to die
The doors of change have been
Locked from either side
Now the waters where I learned to swim
Will be the same that I drown my shame in

The vultures circle us
Showing us what's to come
Oh they hail the sun
And cast their shadows on everyone
Where were you the day we took it back?
Where were you when love was all we had?
I won't sit back and relax
Not while we're still fighting back
Where were you when love was all we had?

They've failed their words but we won't fall again
They've failed us all, this is the end

Yeah

The vultures circle us
Showing us what's to come
Oh they hail the sun
And cast their shadows on everyone
I won't sit back and relax
Not while we're still fighting back
Not after everything that we've been through
I said I'd give this my all
I said I'd give it my heart
Now they've taken everything from me

Now they've taken everything from me
I won't sit back and relax
Not while we're still fighting back
Where were you when love was all we had?
(When love was all we had)
I won't sit back and relax
Not while we're still fighting back
Where were you when love was all we had?
(When love was all we had)
I won't sit back and relax
Not while we're still fighting back
Where were you the day we took it back?

This is the end
They use our fear as a selling point
They have us cornered
We fall apart
Unravel, unwind
Distract, divide

4. Ground Culture

The past is prologue.
As I descend into the deep
The honest fraud, claws at the back of my teeth
A wise man once said: "What is great in man, is he's a bridge and not an end."
How weary I am Of my good, and my bad.
If God is dead, can we still find some meaning in this?

We are more than an empty pattern, ripe with shame and decay
The Valley of the Sleepers, are drinking from a polluted stream

We are more than an empty pattern
We are more than shame and decay
Is the sky or the ground your captor?
Do you contemplate your destiny?

Is the sky or the ground the place that you're meant to be?
And if your heads in the clouds, what good could you be to me?
We are awake
These words, they won't fade away
They won't fade away

A clock without a craftsman
Hands spinning infinitely
Our gears will never grind to a halt or corrode away
We are more than an empty vessel walking a path of concrete
Let us work to create a flow state unhindered by the chains of belief
Morals are in the eyes of the beholder
Ground culture dictates every move you make
Every step you take their apparitions will beckon you
Don't follow suit
Wisdom exists in every truth they give
but in every lie there is a motive.

Is the sky or the ground the place that you're meant to be?
And if your heads in the clouds, what good could you be to me?
We are awake
These words, they won't fade away
They won't fade away

Unlearn to obey

A once calm pond is now a raging river
Shaping landscapes beyond
Forever changing seasons
In the years to come we hope to find a pattern
We can learn to love (We can learn to love)

5. Virtue

Will I ever find my place?
Lost in this world of hopeless faith
Can I prove myself or have a sealed my fate?
When the man you wish you were meets the man that you became
Stop searching for a place to hide your blame

This song is for the dreamers
Laughing in the face of those who gave in and settled and say
that you should do the same.
This song goes out to anyone who knows their heart is strong
Who would do anything to protect anyone they love
This song goes out to all the kids who never had a chance
Who gave their everything but never seem to get it back
This song goes out to anyone who knows their heart is true
This song goes out to you

6. The Silence Mill

Time is running out

I'm at a loss for words.
My mind i aching searching for inspiration
In every little thing now
I live in hesitation

Why would anyone care what I might have to say?
I don't know anything better than anybody
You put your trust in my voice I promised I would guide the way
Now I need your help to light the path, so dim
That I have seemed to stray.
That I have seemed to stray

My nerves are in a knot
I need to write a novel but I cant construct a thought
Over-thinking every line, I swear I've heard it all a thousand times

Hold on! Hold on!
The feelings there and then it's gone
I'm done! I'm done!
This is what I get for waiting so long

My voice is straining, searching for inspiration
In every little thing now I live in repetition.

Why would anyone care what I might have to say?
I don't know anything better than anybody
You put your trust in my voice I promised I would guide the way
Now I need your help to light the path , so dim
That I have seemed to stray

The art of survival is a story that will never end

I'm supposed to be an artist, to be there when you need me most
I'm supposed to be an artist, to inspire when I'm nothing but a ghost

I thought I had it but the moments lost, I tried to grasp it but it was a
fleeting thought
Drawing blanks and crooked circles trying everything I can
I can't help but ask myself, why would anybody even care?

That'll work
No it won't
Don't give in
Make it worth it
Make it worth it.

Why would anyone care what I might have to say?
I don't know anything better than anybody
You put your trust in my voice I promised I would guide the way
Now I need your help to light the path, so dim, that I have seemed to stray

The art of survival is a story that will never end

I'm supposed to be an artist, to be there when you need me most
I'm supposed to be an artist, to inspire when I'm nothing but a ghost

7. Sky Burial

Every fear is manifesting
A coward stands before me
Transparent, I feel there's nothing I can do

I can't stand idly by
There are no whites in his eyes
Only in a child's fist as a tear falls from the sky
These embers turn to ashes, these ashes turn to dust.

What would you want me to do?
What would you want me to do?
I am the man now we are family through and through
You'll never understand that the bottle's taken over you

Take another sip, take another sip
When you're feeling down I hope you drown in it
Take another sip, take another sip
I hope you fucking drown in it

And now a boy cries out
Cries for his brothers hand
Together they have the strength of a thousand men.

My body is still
My eyes are closed
My bones are heavy
My senses go numb.
A soul deprived of the chance to live
Haunting memories, suppressed and dismissed

Under watching eye, her wings were stripped as you stood by
When the almighty won't make a stand,
I'll take things into my own hands

The door bursts open splintering into wooden bits
Revealing his hands held tight around her wrists

Time stands still for now everything has slowed down
It's not what I call love
We have no common ground.
This is a vicious cycle no one should live inside of

Swinging blindly in the dark
A son's promise unspoken
The dastard flees the scene bleeding, beaten, bruised and broken

My body is still
My eyes are closed
My bones are heavy
My senses go numb.
A soul deprived of the chance to live
Haunting memories, suppressed and dismissed

8. Hollow Tongue

Bring forth your faults 'cause they're all you've got
I'm sick of sorting through your words, are they lies or not?
Is it all in your head?
Do you really believe?
Humor me, is it pride or self esteem?
Tell me now, is it pride or self esteem?

I'm not blind
I see right through you
You're like an open window
Lie like the boy and the wolf
'cause I'm not falling for you

If fortune favors the bold how will your story unfold?
Speaking with hollow tongues
Every word is a waste of breath from shallow lungs
Everything that you ever said turned out to be just dead noise in the end

You're fucking dead to me
So swallow every memory
The stench of failure's on your skin and travels to your bones.

Desolate in your own skin
Keep trying masks till you fit in
Shifting shapes to steal the light
You're burning out before you even shine

If fortune favors the bold how will your story unfold?
Speaking with hollow tongues
Every word is a waste of breath from shallow lungs
Everything that you ever said, turned out to be just dead noise in the end.

You've made your bed
Now toss and turn
As all your bridges burn
Lie like the boy and the wolf, because you'll never learn.

9. Who I Once Was

Here, we need to reach the sun.

Awaken the Vesper,
Let the midnight hour come to a stand-still
And you will see me for what I am inside.
A creature, a monster,
I'm anything but ordinary.
You will see for what I am inside.
A creature,
I'm a monster.

I cannot control the urge to kill
As I no longer know
Who I once was
Who I once was
Who I once was
Who I once was

Your time will come.
Take the lives of man before they pull the trigger.
I cannot control the urge to kill as I no longer know.
Trade your innocence for insanity,
Trade you teeth for fangs.
Take no prisoners is our strategy
Our survival means your casualties.

You'll never reach the sun.

Awaken the Vesper,
Let the midnight hour come to a stand-still
And you will see me for what I am inside.
Who I once was
Who I once was
Who I once was
Who I once was

And now these bones will break until all of you know we're monsters,
Within us all are monsters.

10. Afterglow

[feat. Rory Rodriguez of Dayseeker]

This awakening
This questioning of our mortality
This awakening
this questioning of our mortality keeps us alive

You didn't ask for my permission to take his life
You didn't ask for my opinion or those he left behind

No matter how dark it seems to be now
Where there is life, there is always hope
Give me something to believe in when the world has turned it's back on me
Now let's go

Give me something to believe in while my heart is in my hands
Give me something to believe in when the world has turned it's back on me
Please don't give up on me

I'm here to write this letter
I've got this pen and paper
I'm here to write this letter to show things will get better.

I'd like to leave an echo whispering down the ways
Of happy times, laughing times, and bright and sunny days
I'd like the tears of those who grieve to dry before the sun
To live in peace and solace when the deed of life is done
I turned to music when my father passed
and when my brother left this world there was no turning back
I know I'm meant to be the rock but lately I've been feeling weaker than I
ever thought

No matter how dark it seems to be now,
Where there is life, there is always hope
Give me something to believe in when the world has turned it's back on me

Oh god the mistakes that I have made
How many souls have I harmed along the way?
I was certain until now there was no heaven or hell
But when you're laying on that bed you will take anyone's help
All I want is to be remembered
To leave a mark and to live forever
Etch my name into the stone for eternity and forevermore

I know
I know what it's like to feel alone
Everything i touch now either dies or turns to stone

Now press rewind
And play it back a thousand times
You can pick me up or you can throw me down
You can chew me up and you can spit me out
My heart grows founder, it only makes me stronger
To anyone that's picked me up and to anyone that's
held me down
My heart grows fonder, it only makes me stronger now
Stronger now
It only makes me stronger

Oh god the mistakes that I have made
How many souls have I harmed along the way?
I was certain until now there was no heaven or hell
But when you're laying on that bed you will
take anyone's help
All I want is to be remembered
To leave a mark and to live forever.
Etch my name into the stone for eternity and forevermore.
