MYCHILDREN MYBRIDE LYRICS

1. Terra Firma

In death we will ascend, and only in death will we interview
That which formed us from this cold dark lifeless earth,
For it is in this journey that we evolve into our true state
We were created in love, and now we're born into hate
we are eternal ...
and although our bodies stored six feet deep in their decomposing displays
will never witness the light of day I arise the dirt and up past my grave
we are eternal ...
and although our bodies stored six feet deep in their decomposing displays
will never witness the light of day I arise the dirt and up past my grave
incontrovertible rest, our darkened eyes will never open
and our vision will never be shaded again by the relentless hands of time
our mortal flesh is nothing but a mantle of corruption
unveil and deliver into the hands of our creator
to justify our recquital to justify our atonement
we were birthed from the ground and to the ground we shall return we are a
breed of dirt
we are eternal ...
and although our bodies stored six feet deep in their decomposing displays
will never witness the light of day I arise through the dirt and up past my
grave
this is the end, this is our final ascent
great architect of time
thunder rolling nature preparing for the mighty atmospheric retreat cure me
with your wisdom consume my heart enlight my mind behold the great harbinger
we are eternal ...
and although our bodies stored six feet deep in their decomposing displays
will never witness the light of day I arise through the dirt and up past my
grave
we're all born into hate

2. Hooligans

Force feed me false hope, a little hope is better than no hope at all.
I'll draw the line and cross it, and then I'll draw the line again.
Force feed me false hope, a little hope is better than no hope at all.
I'll draw the line and cross it again, and again, and again, and again.

The devil's hands have been busy, or do my eyes deceive me? (deceive me)
There's so much rage built up inside of me,
I'm a shaken up bottle looking for release.

Did you hear me, it's the life that we choose.
And you can't take this from me.

We are the lions, we are the cold-blooded wolves
preying on the hand that feeds us, it leads us.
So young and yet so cruel.
We are the lions, we are the cold-blooded wolves
preying on the hand that feeds us, it leads us.
So young and yet so cruel.
So young and yet so cruel.
So young and yet so cruel.

What goes around comes around.
What goes around comes around.
What goes around comes around.
What goes around comes around.

The devil's hands have been busy, or do my eyes deceive me? (deceive me)
There's so much rage built up inside of me,
I'm a shaken up bottle looking for release.

We are the lions. We are the lions.
We are the lions. We are the lions.

3. King Of The Hopeless

[Guest vocals by Garrett Bymers from Riders of the Apocalypse]

Look me in the hollow eyes and hear me say:
"When you think your only release is a lonely exit,
I'll be there to tell you that there's another way..."

As my perception of this world around me narrows,
I receive my surroundings and intake their whispers.
My life is my burden, and I tackle it with passion,
and with it I'll build my throne.

I'm a professional of self-destruction, all the pain with no explosions.
Salt the wound to silence your soul. Another empty vessel living alone.

Time has changed us, aged us, we never thought that we'd end up here.
We want the answers to life's questions, before life resets, take it or leave it.

As my perception of this world around me narrows,
I receive my surroundings and intake their whispers.
My life is my burden, and I tackle it with passion,
and with it I'll build my throne.

I'm a professional of self-destruction, all the pain with no explosions.
Salt the wound to silence your soul. How much longer, how much longer must we go.

Time has changed us, aged us, we never thought that we'd end up here.
We want the answers to life's questions, before life resets, take it or leave it.

And I believe in ghost, but it's something else that's haunting me.
A witness, life's lonely host, but it's something else that's haunting me.

And even though we feel dead inside, we can still say "At least we tried". [x4]

I'm a professional of self-destruction, all the pain with no explosions.
Salt the wound to silence your soul. How much longer, how much longer must we go.

Time has changed us, it changed us, we never thought that we'd end up here.
We want the answers to life's questions, before life resets, take it or leave it.
Time has changed us, it changed us, we never thought that we'd end up here.
We want the answers to life's questions, before life resets, take it or leave it.

4. Crimson Grim

Through darkness, shadows, midnight waits,
cold winds give scent to a lost souls fate.
Viciously consuming, ripping limb from limb,
a lifeless body way past moving, crimson grim... crimson grim... crimson...

Orion hangs high in a midnight sky while anxious winds kiss teary eyes,
only to leave your soul behind ...in the hands of another.

I might be leaving, but I'll never leave you.
Take me in, inhale me, until our lips are shades of blue.
It's the road that's stolen me, from your fragile hands.
My dear, love is red...

Your veins, keep calling out my name,
stay away from me, and I'll do the same.
Curiosity strikes again, with the same pale face.
Pity comes way too late, turn around and face your fate.
Face your fate. Turn around and face your fate. Face your fate.

Orion hangs high in a midnight sky while anxious winds kiss teary eyes,
only to leave your soul behind ...in the hands of another.

I might be leaving, but I'll never leave you.
Take me in, inhale me, until our lips are shades of blue.
It's the road that's stolen me, from your fragile hands.
My dear, love is red... Love is red...
Crimson grim... Crimson grim... Crimson grim...

Orion hangs high in a midnight sky while anxious winds kiss teary eyes,
only to leave your soul behind ...in the hands of another.

I might be leaving, but I'll never leave you.
Take me in, inhale me, until our lips are shades of blue.
It's the road that's stolen me, from your fragile hands.
My dear, love is red...
I might be leaving, but I'll never leave you.
Take me in, inhale me, until our lips are shades of blue.
It's the road thats stolen me, from your fragile hands.
My dear, love is red...

5. Lost Boys

I’m screaming so loud, my throat is bursting.
But like a falling tree in the woods,
if no one’s listening am I making noise.
Although I’m still snared by the words of my own breath,
I realize a body cannot suffer in sweet repose.
Take heart, this will be over soon.

This is everything that you don’t want to hear.
Never again, never again, will my voice fall on deaf ears.
This is everything that you don’t want to hear.
Never again, never again, will my voice fall on deaf ears.

Traded my life for one on the road, gave up it all, but kept my soul.
Hardly a man, no longer a child, I’m just another L.O.S.T. B.O.Y.
Loud, obnoxious, pissed off, kid with something to prove, I’ve got nothing to lose.
I’m ready to die, ready to die, cause I’m a L.O.S.T. B.O.Y.
Dressed in black, with a target painted on my back,
I’ve learned to adapt to this pedestal you’ve placed me on.
I’m ready to die, I’m ready to die, we are all lost boys. L.O.S.T. B.O.Y.

We all want what we can’t have, so it’s time we take it all back.
This world’s the iron, we’re the rust, what’s this world going to do with us.
We are the hammer, we must strike while the iron is hot.
It’s time we lead and not follow.
Quit acting like the space inside your chest is hollow.

Search for me, deep in the cities, singing a rebel yell of pity.
There’s more than blood pumping through these veins. No pain, no gain.
You’ll find me deep in the cities, singing a rebel yell of pity.
There’s more than blood pumping through these veins. No pain, no gain.
NO PAIN, NO GAIN. No pain, no gain.

Like a falling tree in the woods, if no one’s listening am I making noise.

Traded my life, for one on the road, gave up it all, but kept my soul.
Hardly a man, no longer a child, I’m just another L.O.S.T. B.O.Y.
Loud, obnoxious, pissed off, kid with something to prove, I’ve got nothing to lose.
I’m ready to die, ready to die, cause I’m a L.O.S.T. B.O.Y.
Dressed in black, with a target painted on my back,
I’ve learned to adapt to this pedestal you’ve placed me on.
I’m ready to die, ready to die, cause I’m a L.O.S.T. B.O.Y.

6. Dark Passenger

Life's short, so take every precious second for what it's worth.
You never know when death and company will come beating down your door.
Only time will tell if this long hard life we live is worth living.
Like the harsh winds and crashing waves, nature is so unforgiving.
Like the harsh winds and crashing waves, we'll keep beating the shores of yesterday.

We'll all decay, we'll all fade away. It's fate.
We can't escape this life-long tragedy.
We'll all decay, we'll surely fade away.
Living from day to day, they say "No guts, no glory".

We can't fear death.
A live lived in fear isn't a life lived at all.
We can't fear death.
A live lived in fear isn't a life lived at all.

A bird of ill omen, cloaked in the fiction we subsist.
Inhaling, absorbing all signs of life that still exist.
I wonder what it feels like to have your whole life flash before you.
To relive every moment, every smile, every heartache you've been through.
Like the harsh winds and crashing waves, we'll keep beating the shores of yesterday.

We'll all decay, we'll all fade away. It's fate.
We can't escape this life-long tragedy.
We'll all decay, we'll surely fade away.
Living from day to day, they say "No guts, no glory".
We'll all decay, we'll all fade away (fade away).
We can't escape this life-long tragedy.
We'll all decay, we'll surely fade away.
Living from day to day, they say "No guts, no glory".

You're walking in deception, it's time to meet your Maker.
You're walking in deception, it's time to meet your Maker.

8. Digital Rebirth

The end is near, so I'll head back to the beginning.
I'll try again to succeed in erasing all my sinning.
Gently nurturing time in my disgruntled hands,
"reap the harvest, bleed the land".

This is the only truth I know...
This is the only truth I know...

Slaving at this machine for what must have been years,
"keep in mind that things... things aren't always as they appear".
And dear, now time has come for me to finally trace
exactly why I built this forsaken machine in the first place.

We all pray and wish that... that time would stand completely still.
Just long enough to ingest the memories and relive the thrill.
So I did just that, and now I'm ready to deliver myself.
Ready to venture back to the mistakes that define us.

We have to ask ourselves, if we could leave today to change the past,
would it really be the key to find our lost happiness?
Go back and somehow alter what sent us all on our downward spirals.
We have to ask ourselves, if we could leave today to change the past,
would it really be the key to find our lost happiness?
Go back and somehow alter what sent us all on our downward spirals.

And although darkness reigns, for an uncertain amount of days,
living in yesterday won't get you any closer to a better tomorrow.
It takes self-control and countless nights to relieve one's self of pain,
to relieve oneself of pain and sorrow.
It doesn't take a time-machine to make the earth stop turning.
Just true love, real love. But until then I guess we'll just keep learning.
If only those hands would turn right and not left.
"But who cares about timing when we have forever... "

We have to ask ourselves, if we could leave today to change the past,
would it really be the key to find our lost happiness?
Go back and somehow alter what sent us all on our downward spirals.

Slaving at this machine for what must have been years,
"keep in mind that things... things aren't always as they appear".
And dear, now the time has come for me to finally trace
exactly why I built this forsaken machine in the first place.

We all pray and wish that... that time would stand completely still.
Just long enough to ingest the memories and relive the thrill.
So I did just that, and now I'm ready to deliver myself.
Ready to venture back to the mistakes that define us.

We have to ask ourselves, if we could leave today to change the past,
would it really be the key to find our lost happiness?
Go back and somehow alter what sent us all on our downward spirals.
We have to ask ourselves, if we could leave today to change the past,
would it really be the key to find our lost happiness?
Go back and somehow alter what sent us all on our downward spirals.

9. Redeemer

And when it seems like the feeling of being alone
is the only feeling you'll ever know, cry out... and just let go.
Everybody lift your broken voices, let me hear you sing:
"Like the winter trees reach for the heavens, I reach for you".

My generation may be growing older, but by the second we're growing bolder,
and yet adolescent hearts are still growing colder.
Quit waiting for the world to change, and start changing the world.
We aren't the disease, we're the cure.

We were designed for so much more than this life we're living.
It starts with forgiving, and realizing you're not alone.
We were designed for so much more than this life we're living.
The hearts we're killing, our souls, our souls dethroned.

And when it seems like the feeling of being alone
is the only feeling you'll ever know, cry out... and just let go.
Everybody lift your broken voices, let me hear you sing:
"Like the winter trees reach for the heavens, I reach for you".

It's safe to say that the cause of this is our selfish ways.
You talk the talk, but can't seem to spit it.
It's safe to say that the cause of this is our selfish ways.
You walk the walk, but can't seem to live it.

You talk the talk, but can't seem to spit it.
You walk the walk, but can't seem to live it.
You talk the talk, but can't seem to spit it.
You walk the walk, but can't seem to live it.

My generation may be growing older, but by the second we're growing bolder,
and yet adolescent hearts are still growing colder.
Quit waiting for the world to change, and start changing the world.
We aren't the disease, we're the cure.

We were designed for so much more than this life we're living.
It starts with forgiving, and realizing you're not alone.
We were designed for so much more than this life we're living.
The hearts we're killing, our souls, our souls dethroned.

And when it seems like the feeling of being alone
is the only feeling you'll ever know, cry out... and just let go.
Everybody lift your broken voices, let me hear you sing:
"Like the winter trees reach for the heavens, I reach for you".

Cry out and just let go! Cry out and just let go!

10. Nuclear+

As I flick my wrist past your furrowed brow and through your hair,
a sigh of remorse, accompanied by a voice of despair:
Will you come searching if I happen to disappear,
grab the torches, ready the horses, and lovingly persevere?

Send me out into the world, through troubles, trials and error.
Light is most effective in darkness, man's call of distress and terror.
A torch in a lighted room reaps no harvest from its labor,
but that same torch in a cave or tomb will provoke the lost to find a Savior.
Darkness can not overcome light, we must never stop burning bright.

As sure as children dream, stars will shine and birds still sing.
When the light fades to black, I'll be there waiting for you to end.
As sure as night will fall, and the heart will stop beating inside us all
when you exhale your last breath, we'll reunite in lifeless harmony... lifeless harmony.

Cover your ears children, close your innocent eyes.
Like a moth to a flame, their paths will be compromised.

I must confess, I hope it's me you hear inside your head.
Like an addiction, you don't know you're controlled, you're so misled.
I must confess, I hope it's me you hear inside your head.
Like an addiction, you don't know you're controlled, you're so misled.

Send me out into the world, through troubles, trials and error.
Light is most effective in darkness, man's call of distress and terror.
A torch in a lighted room reaps no harvest from its labor,
but that same torch in a cave or tomb will provoke the lost to find a Savior.
Darkness can not overcome light, we must never stop burning bright.

As sure as children dream, stars will shine and birds still sing.
When the light fades to black, I'll be there waiting for you to end.
As sure as night will fall, and the heart will stop beating inside us all
when you exhale your last breath, we'll reunite in lifeless harmony.
As sure as children dream, stars will shine and birds still sing.
When the light fades to black, I'll be there waiting for you to end.
As sure as night will fall, and the heart will stop beating inside us all
when you exhale your last breath, we'll reunite in lifeless harmony.

I must confess, I hope it's me you hear inside your head.
Like an addiction, you don't know you're controlled, you're so misled.
I must confess, I hope it's me you hear inside your head.
Like an addiction, you don't know you're controlled, you're so misled... so misled.

11. Lungs Full Of Water

"If every star fell out of the sky tonight,
every wish I'd make would take me closer to you."
Well I'm starring at an empty sky on a lonely night,
and from the looks of it every star is gone, and so are you.
"If every star fell out of the sky tonight,
every wish I'd make would take me closer to you."
Well I'm starring at an empty sky on a lonely night,
and from the looks of it every star is gone, and so are you.

Open up my chest and you will find,
dust and moths, floating through an empty hall.
Slowly scavenging through the debris scattered inside,
only to realize, there's no heart left at all.

I never thought that my lips would speak,
or even that my mind would think of the day
I couldn't lay my head down at night,
and not see you staring back at me.
But even after the storm has come and gone,
life will surely, sadly move on.
It just hurts knowing that I'll have to be the one to say,
you're exactly what I hope I'll never be...
you're exactly what I hope I'll never be.

We all know it's times like these that truly test the soul,
to go from standing tall, to crawling so very low.
It's like being trapped underwater with no air to breathe,
starring up at this blurry world, starring right back down on me.
We all know it's times like these that truly test the soul,
to go from standing tall, to crawling so very low.
It's like being trapped underwater with no air to breathe,
starring up at this blurry world, starring right back down on me.

I never thought that my lips would speak,
or even that my mind would think of the day
I couldn't lay my head down at night,
and not see you staring back at me.
But even after the storm has come and gone,
life will surely, sadly move on.
It just hurts knowing that I'll have to be the one to say,
you're exactly what I hope I'll never be.
