THE LAST TEN SECONDS OF LIFE LYRICS

1. Glory

Millennia of chaos tearing at the walls
But only I can feel it
Only I can hear it
It's all I see now

All I see now

Silver spades and golden chains
Silver spades and golden chains

Glory be to misery
All hail eternity

But only I can hear it
Only I can feel it

Glory be to misery
All hail eternity

Say your peace
Time to die
Terminal
The soul will spiral

Make your peace
Time to die
Terminal
The soul will spiral

2. Sweet Chin Music

Fuck you

I am the anti hero
My entire life I've worn the number zero on my back
All that I do
Hangs above you
Crashing down
To defy and deny you

Sometimes I daydream
Of embracing the rage
Dance with the blade
Bleed you out where you lay

Amplify
All the agony
Throughout your brain
I relay
A path to change
Let it seep in
Now listen

You never met anyone like me
I fucking promise
Rock solid

Heavy lies the crown like the weight of the world
Ice cold under pressure
Throw me up on a cross

I am where I am because of who I am
You can't change me
Words don't phase me
Your bullshit social rules will never shame me

Never ever will I give up the throne

Never
Ever
Never
Ever
No

Rock solid
At the motherfuckin' top

Rock solid
Until I motherfuckin' drop

Sometimes I daydream
Of embracing the rage
Dance with the blade
Bleed you out where you lay

Bleed you out
Where you lay
Amplifying
Throughout your brain

Stone cold
Don't ever forget
No matter how old I grow
You still fucking with the best

Stone cold
Don't ever forget
No matter how old I grow
You still fucking with a big dog

You never met anyone like me
I fucking promise
Rock solid

Heavy lies the crown like the weight of the world
Ice cold under pressure
Throw me up on a cross

All that I do
It hangs above you
Endlessly crashing down
To defy and deny you

Stone cold
Don't ever forget
No matter how old I grow
You still fucking with the best

I am the anti hero
I am
I am

And I'll amplify the agony
In your brain
Forever

Fake fuck
Wanna be
Remember when you bowed down to me
Spineless bitch
Get back in line
You're just another imitation

3. Psychophrenia

New sick psycho
Depraved with hell to pay

Kiss of death has
Set the abyss aflame

Flash of the void
Has spoiled future fame

One man mental
Left with this hell to pay

Beyond this world is where the hostility bred with hate

I shall
Ring the bell of Sodom
I've come back for you bitch
It's open season on these gutless fucks
We will all cease to exist

Crawling
On hands and knees from birth
Biting
The back of mother Earth
Stabbing
The stomach of the beasts
Annihilation masterpiece

Tip toe with catastrophe hard on for havoc it lights up my body

The whore universe
Moans for more and more
I'll give it what it wants
Blood

Kiss of death has set the abyss aflame

Ripped from this life
Eyes roll back
Mind goes blank
Hell to pay

In bed with the universe
A pimp of my own pain
Flirting for penance
One and the same

The whore universe
Moans for more and more
We are one and the same

No starry eyes
For the precious life that now surrounds me
No more wondrous hope
For the future that lays before me
It's a different story
For a different man
In another life
Another realm where I am one with the light

Hell to pay

Beyond this world is where the hostility bred with hate
Now I'm left with this hell to pay

4. Live on Broadway

Face to face
With the truth
Only suffering can change me

One last breath
From the bottom
Who will be in line to save me?

Face to face
With the truth
On this night I will break free

One last breath
From the bottom
Who's extending their hand?
Who is reaching for me?

Face to face
With the truth
Only suffering can change me

One last breath
From the bottom
Who will be in line to save me?

Don't say a word just wait for the white light
You have to give them what they want
A pound of flesh
That was never lent

Everyone take your seat
The show is about to begin

Stare down with death
A broken back and a voice in my head
Barking commands
Forcing my hand
They got me grinding my teeth until they fall out
At my feet

Welcome the world to who I am
Cursed from birth with my heart in my hands

(One man freak show)
(Come one come all)
Pull the curtain back
Let them see what they paid for
A man that is done for
Eyes afire while licking their teeth
Tonight I am the feast

I was born with a heart too big
And a soul that is not for sale
In this putrid world
Something so rare

One man freak show
Come one come all

Face to face
With the truth
Only suffering can change me

One last breath
From the bottom
Who will be in line to save me?

Pound of flesh

5. These Guns Are Made for Shootin'

This bullet
Will burn a hole
Through the heavens
Straight from my barrel
Light up the sky

I will shoot your paradise down to the ground
Down to the ground

This bullet
Will win the war
That has echoed on
Since the first footsteps of time

I will shoot your paradise down to the ground
Shoot it down

Divine reward
Gift wrapped in thorns
Drop it
Blood starts to run
From the cuts
Now you'll never stop it
Load up your gun
For some fun
It's time to cock it
Lean in and aim
And light up the sky

Your paradise stands no chance

This bullet will burn a hole
Kill and take control

Immortality teases me
Self immolation fantasy
Swirls and kicks in my belly up through my head
Rushing to every limb
It sends me to another dimension
Tripping out beyond time and beyond the clouds
Fucked up, strung out, and chained down
I will shoot paradise to the ground

Take the world with me; I will

I will 'cause I hate heaven hanging over my head

I hate heaven hanging over my head

I'll shoot it down

Bring it down

This bullet
Will burn a hole
Through the heavens
Straight from my barrel
Light up the sky

I will shoot your paradise down to the ground

This bullet will burn a hole
Kill and take control

6. Axe to Grind

Sleeping dragon
Now wide awake
Poisoned mind
Ignited by the infected beat, the stomping feet, and an axe to grind

Oh yeah
Fuck it all
Turn it up

Come on

Fuck it all, cut the cord, scream for more
Turn it up, throw it down, bleed for more
Give it all you got and never fold
Axe to grind

Fuck it all, cut the cord, scream for more
Turn it up, throw it down, bleed for more
Give it all you got and never fold
Never hold back

Axe to grind
Swing and swing wild
Axe to grind

Sleeping dragon
Now wide awake
Poisoned mind
Ignited by the infected beat, the stomping feet, and an axe to grind

Breaking your neck walking the line
Burn all the rest wasting no time
Throw it down
Cut the cord
Break your neck
Walk the line
Burn all the rest wasting no time

Sleeping dragon now wakes

Axe to grind
Swing and swing wild
Axe to grind
Swing and swing wild

Take me
Take me

Give it all you got and never fold

Fuck it all, cut the cord, scream for more
Turn it up, throw it down, bleed for more
Give it all you got and never fold
Sleeping dragon

Fuck it all, cut the cord, scream for more
Turn it up, throw it down, bleed for more
Give it all you got and never fold
Axe to grind

7. Tsavo

Tsavo
No peace

Welcome to disaster
Plagued men reign disorder
Shredded all life with frailty, no peace
Hatred burns like fire at the core of desire
Flesh is all that we live for

It's human to believe that you're safe with these four walls surrounding
But it all went wrong in the darkest days
We'll take everything away as light disintegrates

Over and over again you'll look back on the crippling doubt
It's a miracle how
You made it out by the skin of your teeth with the souls of dead men
Snapping at your feet

Come on lick those lips so you can taste it
Go on close your eyes and feel sick
'Cause when the sun drips down into blood,
That's how you'll know the devil has come to Tsavo

To eat the heart of God and kiss off the skin to drink of warm blood until all life has left
Refined pure evil
So make no mistake
A quick death is the only saving grace

Right here, right now
We can bury the hope of reaching home
The bullets will run out eventually
There is no escaping the inevitable
The downfall
Two devils could never rise on broken wings, but we misunderstood
We're back to back, hiding in dirt
You pray but God's not answering

There's nothing left, reach out, touch the sun
For new beginnings for our loved ones
Search for peace in a world drenched in blood
Embrace the end

Over and over again you'll look back on the crippling doubt
It's a miracle how
You made it out by the skin of your teeth with the souls of dead men
Snapping at your feet

Come on lick those lips so you can taste it
Go on close your eyes and feel sick
'Cause when the sun drips down into blood,
That's how you'll know the devil
Has come to Tsavo

To eat the heart of God
Look at you now
Look at you now
Look at you now
Open your eyes you're a fucking disaster
Look at you now, motherfucker look!
Welcome to a place of slaughter

8. Aphrodite

Cycle of wasted years
Selfish ways and constant fear
Cut through the fog of a grand design
That serves itself

Dig a ditch for the dead
Dump 'em in
Cover them
But the pain doesn't decompose
And the promises that you made
Start to
Burn brighter than they ever have
Pure torment
Void of emotion
More than I can take

I bleed myself dry
Trying to bury the hurt inside

Destroying Aphrodite
With the grip of Zeus
Prisoner of desire
Love on fire

Take back what you wasted
That precious seed
Self-induced pleasure coma
Is the killer you seek

Over and over
With all the same results
Bleed myself dry
From self-induced assault
Every fucking time
The screen lures me in
And I'm back again
In the blink of an eye

Bright screen
Bodies meet
Dissolve my heart
Paralyze my thoughts
Bled dry
Every time
Bodies meet
In a blink of an eye

Destroying Aphrodite
With the grip of Zeus
Prisoner of desire
Love on fire

Take back what you wasted
That precious seed
Self-induced pleasure coma
Is the killer you seek

Dig a ditch for the dead
Dump 'em in
Cover them

Cycle of wasted years
Selfish ways and constant fear
Cut through the fog of a grand design
That serves itself

No the pain doesn't decompose
And the promises burn bright
The pain doesn't decompose
The promises just burn brighter
And brighter
Now they burn
Always and forever after

9. Dirt Nap Atrophy

I woke up in a hole!

I spent the night digging my grave
Dirt nap atrophy
Zombie life magazine
Front page headline
Reads "Suicide pipe dreams"
Force fed a life I refuse
Swimming neck deep in dirt
I will choose how I lose

Dying means I don't need anything
Fucking refuse

(Lie to me) Give me your word it's safe
(Lie to me) So I can hear the fake
(Lie to me) Give me your word it's safe
(Lie to me) So I can dig my grave

Force fed a life I refuse
Under a lightning filled sky
I will choose

At the end of the day hang me up so high that the angels play with my hair
Bury me so low
That the life I loathe
Dissipates and slips away

Hang me high
Bury me low

(Lie to me) Give me your word it's safe
(Lie to me) So I can dig my grave

At the end of the day hang me high
Under thunder and lightning filled skies
Then bury me low
So no angels die
For the life I loathe

Run your dreams into the ground

10. Gods / Slaves

In life
Gods and slaves
As above so below
I'll rule 'til kingdom come
Silence the apostle's song

Erase the words
Submit to truth
Lift the veil
See the light
No more compromise
For the fragile masses who choose to oblige

In life
Gods and slaves
As above so below
I'll shine 'til kingdom come
Silence the apostle's song

Strike them down
Strike them down
Hole in your head means they do not decide
Stop them now

Strike them down
To lift them up
Hole in your head means they do not decide

Strike them down

Cut roots and run wild; child be free

Victory
Will be mine
We will pull the thorn from our side and send them to hell

Strike them down
Hole in your head means they do not decide
Lift the veil to see the light
Gods and slaves

11. The Impossible Product

Dismal looming current
A darkness I call my own
Fuck all the extra
Won't take no for an answer

Torn by temptation
Suffocated for a spell
Though temptation does not sleep softly
When entombed in the womb where it swelled
And swelled
And swelled

It's beyond hushing and hiding away
The damnation of this plane

Eternal conflict
I can't come to terms
Eons and eons of darkness interred
What the fuck is it worth
All of the hurt

I plead

Martyr me heavenly hands
Mold the impossible product
Cut lines and shapes
Slave away
Until I ooze perfect incarnate

It's beyond hushing and hiding away

Damnation on display


Dismal looming current
A darkness I call my own
Blocking all the extra bullshit out
As I squeeze blood from this stone
Torn by temptation
Suffocated for a spell
Though temptation does not sleep softly
When entombed in the womb where it swelled

Out on the edge of the Earth
I look down
See the universe from up above
Sleeping sound
It's indifferent
Cutthroat and cold
Will I make it back?
Will I make it back whole?
Any compromise I welcome it
The honey of my soul I cherish it
This vessel is wearing thin
On the edge of the Earth and I want back in

Martyr me heavenly hands
Mold the impossible product
Cut lines and shapes
Slave away
Until I ooze perfect incarnate

It's beyond hushing and hiding away

Now tell me
What the fuck is it worth?

All of the hurt
All of the pain
Tell me

All of the hurt
All of the pain

What the fuck is it worth?

I want back in

12. Soul Erased

Oh spirit
That's been there since I came to be
Please hand me down
The price to pay
That will set me free

Oh pitch black veil
Condemning my soul
What's held above me set it free
Oh spirit
Set me free

Living life with no fear
A fairy tale I'd like to feel

Knock all you want
Forgiveness does not live here
Fist made meets face
Sentenced to live and learn with a

Soul erased
Nothing in common with the constant
Bleeding out
For nothing

Dying slow from the fear
A nightmare I'd like to heal

Knock all you want
Forgiveness does not live here
Fist made meets face
Sentenced to live and serve with the fact that

What is and what will be
I have no control and it wants nothing to do with me
Not what I have to say
Or the hurt in my chest
No
The past is the past
The price to pay is a

Soul erased
Nothing in common with the constant
Bleeding out
For nothing

Soul erased
Nothing in common with the constant
Bleeding out
For nothing

Set me free

A fairy tale I'd like to feel
A nightmare I'd like to heal

13. Return Me to the Ground

Bear witness to the rise of an abomination
A vile creation
A treacherous shroud of bleeding error encasing me
In the wake of destruction
Behold the conqueror
We surrender our free will
To live in hell

The dead's march on the world will relinquish light
To the guides of eternity
They subdue us all

Falsifying paradise
Triumph into disease

Return me to the ground

From my perspective I've been dead for years anyway
I want to feel, so go ahead, let me down
From my perspective I've been on my own anyway, so go ahead, just fucking
Let me down

Self-infliction is everything
Imagining my humanity
Killing myself is everything
Imagining my humanity

This entire life of torture will return to the ground if it's the last
Thing that I do

Let me down

Consume the end an abomination
I am just a slave of slow demise standing the test of time
So forget this life

Lord forgive me now
The dead's march on the world will relinquish light
To the guides of eternity
They subdue us all

Falsifying paradise
Triumph into disease

Return me to the ground

14. Machina Non Grata

This story has an end
But I'm not brave enough to write it yet
Put the words down on paper
Have the blood quit pumping
I'll always be by your side

All the shows and the late nights
Let these six strings never wear thin
Memorialized in sine waves
It was always gonna come to this
As terminal lucidity
Sings to me
Circle back in death I shall
Through sonic terror I will live forever
Out your speakers from the other side
Valhalla beware
Begin to prepare
A fight I was never supposed to win
Let these mortal lines speak instead

Heavy headed and still hungover
And jealousy is still hell
The rain never came and it never will
Just the same, my reflection has no name
And the violent sound still rings out
Born with nothing to die the same
Yours truly
