SOULSCAR LYRICS

1. Fatalist Mantra

Light of faith lit every new dawn for him
Claws of the dark consumed his past
A crucible full of blood of angels
Drained down to hell, drained down to hell
A phantom summoned with each drop
Breathing oaths of deliverance
His will is waning into nothing
No hope for the hopeful, no more hope

There is no salvation for the wicked
The kingdom of heaven, it was a lie
Each tangent spilling the innocent blood
Forgive and forget ain't how he plays

"He had it coming" (had it coming)
"We all got it coming" (got it coming)
"He had it coming" (had it coming)
"We all got it coming" (got it coming)

Now resigned to evil out of necessity
Choked back his faith and accepted fate
Brutally metamorphosing into malevolence
No more hope

"He had it coming" (had it coming)
"We all got it coming" (got it coming)
"He had it coming" (had it coming)
"We all got it coming" (got it coming)

2. Interceptor

My former life thrown away
Spent ages wandering, wandering to my fate
You say the bastard shadow, shadow's come to stay
You'll let me live if I can help you all to see another day

I know I've made my mistakes
Forced me into this role, anger I will slake
You say the bastard shadow, shadow's come to stay
You don't trust me, but you need me
This scorned messiah, fake

Locked up in the rain
I'll do this once for you, but when I'm on my way
It's not for resurrection, it's not for your affliction
To redemption will the interceptor ride

The demon rose, the demon came
He said there's "too much violence"
He said there's "too much pain"
"Just walk away..." there'll be an end to it
"Just walk away... there will be an end to the horror"

Locked up in the rain
I'll do this once for you, but then I'm on my way
It's not for resurrection; it's not for your affliction
To redemption will the interceptor ride

3. Sacrifices

A memory of you, frozen in time
Like cement in the hourglass
Can't leave you behind

Stumbling down this path, trying to find my way
Back to you - to your heart
I must lift myself, from these iron feet
As long as you're here, I'll never fall again

[Chorus:]
The tears will flow within, though this armor is this
I'm here for you (sacrifices)
Dying here for you (sacrifices)

Tap the roots of... of this vessel
Try to bleed what's since turned to lead
Words you spared echo and
Lull through my head
I've nothing to hide - my heart deep in you

[Chorus]

Promises plated silver
I won't let them rust
Your apparition
The only one I trust

4. Living Nightmare

Demon seed - when I went to hell I laughed
Psycho need - so the devil sent me back for you

[Chorus:]
No? No? No? No?
Think twice before you answer
No! No! No! No fucking way I'll be denied this time

This is the living nightmare - it never stops
I am the living nightmare - ready to rock

Question me - I'm fine, you're the problem
Wrath to feel
Keep looking at me and I'll put you in the ground

[Chorus]

Can't duck, can't run, can't hide - no sanctuary
You lived by the sword, but now the sword is me

[Chorus]

This is the living nightmare - it just never stops
I am the living nightmare - ready to rock

5. Relentless

Welcome obliteration
Justified elimination
A message to me across the sea
She's gone and soon you will be too

Welcome obliteration
Justified elimination
A message to you
I'll see it through
Avenging her sacrifice undue

Relentless
Relentless
Relentless
Coming for you

Welcome obliteration
Justified elimination
I cane a long way here for you
And I'm not leaving 'til I'm through

Relentless
Relentless
Coming for you

6. It Takes A Wolf

Primed - murderous intentions veiled by lies
Crime - devil's dead ringer, he's corrupt to the bone

Shell - a tainted emblem above his heart
Hell - looking into a world of kaleidoscopic sin

On his lips his finger as he pulls the trigger
Sleep with one eye open
No sirens tonight
Does it make it right to take a wolf to catch a wolf?

Underhanded with the upper hand
'It takes a wolf to catch a wolf'

Blind - seduced into a villain's arms
Bind - sentenced by visions, virtue, disarray

Plight - he's written decrees on deviance
Fight - ideal synthesis for this thick sadistic mind

On his lips his finger as he pulls the trigger
Sleep with one eye open
No sirens tonight
Does it make it right to take a wolf to catch a wolf?

7. The Voyeur

He sits inside his castle
Watching through transparent walls
It keeps him safe, locked away
They can't get in but he can't escape
The growing glass becomes a crutch
Can't touch the ones who mean so much
Reflections of his panicked soul
He throws himself into the wall

Folly... falling, the images he's drinking in like wine
Affections so misguided, failure so sublime
If they only knew how hard it is to say
The walls are growing higher, he's slipping far away

He sat inside his castle
Watching through transparent walls
Kept alone, locked away
Safe inside but he couldn't escape
The growing glass became a crutch
Couldn't tough the one who meant so much
Reflections of his panicked soul
He threw himself into the wall

Folly...falling, desertion leads to jealousy, alone
He builds a newer castle, new castle out of stone
If they only knew how hard it is to say
The walls are growing higher, he's slipping far away
If they only knew how hard it is to say
The walls are growing higher, he's slipping far away

8. Character Assassination

These broken rhymes, these trying times
No common destiny? 'til death do us part
I detect a change of heart - a growing seed

Please, you're alone this time, my love
Bleeding, bleeding all alone, my love

Sacrificing everything to see it to an end
The character assassins cannot bury me
They can't kill me again

Many times I've wondered how they fucked my life
I'll never bow down to the bastards
Never again, never again
Plagued by the past - a resurrected shame
Questions returned - was it worth the pain?

Been crushed, trampled by the velvet lies
Truth set me free to be buried alive, buried alive
Delayed salvation on the screen - my fate
I have to wonder did redemption come too late?

Sacrificing everything to see it to an end
The character assassins cannot bury me
They can't kill me again

9. A Reprieve

[Instrumental]
