PERIPHERY LYRICS

1. Reprise

The screams will echo on a quiet night
Silver faces, an unholy cathedral
Death has come
A sacrifice in this duality
Our blessings given as the children moan
A man is burdened with a life full of evil
Hungry eyes
They will not live to see another day

All in the feeling of a soul within
Set it free in bloody ecstasy
Lie in the circle of a few who stain
(our bodies with their own blood)

2. The Bad Thing

Sometimes there's a crack in the world that I can peer through,
to see it for what it really is.
There’s an ugly face staring back demons are everywhere,
They draw the hatred from inside of me.
There were times at the top of the world that I wish I could throw,
Everyone and everything.
Watch the mountains snap the necks of the hypocrites,
I'm bathing in the thought of it.

the severed dreams of all the weak - quenching thirst inside of me,
And the scream it holds the key - unlocking this for all to see

Fly past the trees, ascend to holy air and breathe
Far from the leaves, transcend these earthly boundaries
Fly past the trees, ascend to holy air and breathe
Far from the leaves, transcend these fucking boundaries

Isn't this desire that you're looking for?
Or is insanity just knocking on your door?
give me just a piece and surely you will find -
Everything is better on the other side.
can you look within to find what is in store?
This life is but a scream that has become your whore
It's tearing a hole inside, you're buried alive

Sometimes there's a hole in the Earth that I can step through,
To get away from the twisting of tongues.
It looks a lot like a grave when I'm staring up,
Feel the soil creeping over me.
There were times at the top of the world that I wish I could throw,
Everyone and everything.
Watch the mountains snap the necks of the hypocrites,
I'm bathing in the thought of it.

3. Priestess

A shadow in these walls, yeah that is all I am
A prison deep under fortress grounds where they spill the blood of man
A second chance at life is all I've dreamed of
For now inside these walls I stay.

Sitting far away I watch the blackness grow
(Nevermind what is underneath the stone)
(It's a life that we're living all alone)
Step out in the rain and feel the deep sorrow
(Light is calling from the narrow road)

Sometimes kindness speaks in tongues with one of them
I can see love in her eyes
And if I fall death will never stain one of his hands
I find safety in these lies.
A second chance at life is all I've dreamed of
For now inside these walls I stay

Sitting far away I watch the blackness grow
(Nevermind what is underneath the stone)
(This life we live alone)
Step out in the rain and feel the deep sorrow
(Light is calling from the narrow road)

The chains are part of me
Stale air is all I breathe down here
I need to find a way
I've gotta find my way far from me
Another chance at life is fading slowly
Upon the cross I bleed

Sitting far away I watch the blackness grow
(Nevermind what is underneath the stone)
(This life we live alone)
Step out in the rain and feel the deep sorrow
(Light is calling from the narrow road)

Sitting far away I watch the blackness grow
Nevermind what is underneath the stone, we live alone
Step out in the rain to feel the deep sorrow
Light is calling from the narrow road

4. Graveless

I've held the knife to my throat for so long
Is it everything I want?
This life feels far away
Is this the time to let go and settle a life below?
Or live another fucking day?
Suffocating in a world of human filth
Yes, pull me under
Stop treading in a pool of your own blood
Accept demise

Let it pour
Bleed it our
Feels as the life drains from within
A smile now rips open and paves a way in my sin

I feel Beelzebub inside me
He's been here all along
Clutching every last ounce of sin from these dried up bones
Please, strike me down
Fuck me...
I can't repent
By my own hands I shall bury my own life

Let it pour
Bleed it our
Feels as the life drains from within
A smile now rips open and paves a way in my sin

My only love is worlds away
Thy father bless her and repay the breath they stole with all my hate
I drift away now in my sin

Let it pour
Bleed it our
Feels as the life drains from within
A smile now rips open and paves a way in my sin

5. Hell Below

Further I'm hurled down
The colors shift from red to gray
This is a realm of damaged spirits and I can't see the light
Only the gaze of his eyes
Only the gaze of his eyes

The demons drag me down
Clawing for the heavens, they pull
The demons drag me down
Clawing for the heavens, they pull

I can feel them violently consuming me
No body, no mind, a spirit left to die
(A spirit left to die)

Finally they've collected me
The sound of misery in death has now begun
This is over my death has now begun
Live, die, burn
Live, die, burn
Live, die, burn
Fucking live, die, burn

Further I'm hurled down
The colors shift from red to gray
This is a realm of damaged spirits and I can't see the light...
Only the gaze of his eyes

6. Omega

I see a flash
Is this sleep?
Am I in a dream?
The past sees me and it won't let go
Greeted by those I've killed along the way, because I am the destruction
The past sees me and it won't let go

A demon born out of their rite in throes
This is the truth
I am a demon born out of their rite in throes
Soiled by the world of man
I am the destruction
I am fear
I am sin
I am the destruction

This memory ignites
The past sees me
Visions of me grow
Greeted by family
Painting dissolution and a life of an insect
The past it will not let me go
I'm lost within my own soul
A ghost within times of old
The clock turns back but is this real?
Tell me, is this real?
A demon born out of their rite in throes
This is the truth
I am a demon born out of their rite in throes
Soiled by the world of man

I am, I am destruction
I am fear born to destroy
I am, I am destruction
I am fear born to destroy
Born to destroy
Transcending boundaries of affliction
I've learned from past experience I am a monster
Disgust and horror flash before me in fire burning down below
Holy desire
This stain it will never wash off of my grave
Physical life has wandered
Here I stay, in death
Take pity on a soul and grant me resurrection
Grant forgiveness
This is only but a dark reflection
Regret is ripping the throat from my neck
Now I can't speak
I wander
Here in death, I weep
Take pity on a soul and grant me resurrection
Grant forgiveness
This is only but a dark reflection
Take pity on a soul and grant me resurrection
Grant forgiveness
This is only but a dark reflection

Hell bound
Past death
Nothing can save me
Longing for something beyond
Hell bound
Past death
Nothing can save me
Longing for something beyond

Embrace the feeling of a soul within
Realizing this is what we need
Inside the circle that's a mystery to our eyes and what they shall perceive
Embrace the feeling of a soul within
Realizing this is what we need
Inside the circle that's a mystery to our eyes and what they shall perceive

Stop bleeding on the inside
We are alive, and it's more that enough to paint the walls that are white
Can we show the ones who are blind?
Stop bleeding on the inside
We are alive, and it's more that enough to paint the walls that are white
Can we show the ones who are blind?
Show them that we're not blind

7. Stranger Things

Wandering below the hadean seal
Shaking, mortified, making my way back to nowhere
This skeletal mask brings a demon of the day
There never would have been a light if the messenger in still life had regard for the son of the damaged soul
Send the mirror falling
Heavens see that this man once had value among all the golden
But eccentric revisions in life brought on decay
Take submission from a man in control
Set the sail blowing, search for peace
A loose feeling consuming me
Blood is spent
A token for my sacrifice
Fallen angel, you speak my name
The needle turns, the hourglass is spinning around
Give it, I want it... a sense of a fucking life
I can almost feel mine at home
Selfish cries
I'm diseased
Let it pour out and show what has healed
One can finally find what's left in this masochistic personality
In a holy bond we live
Take a breath for seconds in this moment
Sail upon the open skies
(Sail upon the open skies,
Sail upon the open skies)

Exhale your death and feel life, like water raining from above
Majestic aura
Take in my breath and lock eyes with a world once absent of your love
Majestic aura
Blood is spent
A token for my sacrifice
The tortured realm has released my name
I can feel my body parting with this world
Rebirth is starting from within
I'm born some place beyond your time
I'm born some place beyond your time
Selfish cries
Flaunt disease
Own what's mine
Death upon my knees

Let it pour out and show what has healed
One can finally find what's left inside this masochistic personality
In a holy bond we live
Take a breath for seconds in this moment
Sail upon the open skies
Let it pour out and show what has healed
One can finally find what's left inside this masochistic personality
In a holy bond we live
Take a breath for seconds in this moment
Sail upon the open skies
Floating up above the hadean seal
Sounds of ambient voices will lead me from nowhere
This skeletal mask brings a demon of the day
