STILL REMAINS LYRICS

1. Bare Your Teeth

Bare your teeth sneering smiling smirking
Bare witness to the old made new
To the walking sleepless death approaching silent

Innocent eyes fascinated
Fixated statues
Beneath the stone a sacred flow waiting and dormant

Awakened a burning light with claw and crown
Lie manifesting
The wings of angels crumble to the earth
Scatter the pieces as a child's treasure
O' searing anomaly with vampire's hunger craving helpless

Sink your teeth into me
I can see the spirit in your eyes and the passion undisguised
Take all of me
Bare your teeth
Inhale the life right out of me to fill your empty sea
Take all of me
Take all of me
Bare your teeth

The wings of angels crumble to the earth
Scatter the pieces as a child's treasure
O' searing anomaly with vampire's hunger

Sink your teeth into me
I can see the spirit in your eyes and the passion undisguised
Take all of me
Bare your teeth
Inhale the life right out of me to fill your empty sea
Take all of me
Take all of me

Take all of me
Take all of me

You will know the poison is moving through you quickly and you will know
When the fever sets in
When the fever sets in

Once you've turned there's no looking back
I lay myself before you where you can

Sink your teeth into me
I can see the spirit in your eyes and the passion undisguised
Take all of me
Bare your teeth
Inhale the life right out of me to fill your empty sea
Take all of me
Bare your teeth

2. Crone

It's alright, I can't believe I finally made it this far.
At what great length I've prayed. I finally learned to let it go.
I swam against so many ocean currents to get here.
And my arms aren't nearly tired yet.
And the undertow. It means nothing.

Caught in the undertow over and over again.
Nothing can drag me down.
Nothing can pull me under.

When I held on, I could have drowned.
When I held on, they spilled my young blood.

I swam against so many ocean currents to get here.
And my arms aren't nearly tired yet.

Caught in the undertow over and over again.
Nothing can drag me down.
Nothing can pull me under.

Planted the demon seed.
Fell out of the demon tree.
Growing from the demon ground.
Now I'm cutting the demon down.

This is what it sounds like when
Self love and self hate do battle.
Sound the alarm.
Run for your life.

The diamond glare of the sun rests on the ocean with waves cresting above me.
I can see it's rays piercing through the water as I sink into the birth
To be born anew...
With no memory of you.

Caught in the undertow over and over again.
Nothing can drag me down.
Nothing can pull me under.

Caught in the undertow.

3. Beacon

Free yourself. Release.
Don't conform. Refuse.
You can breathe new life inside yourself.
Run into the looming storm.

A sun will rise and a brand new day is born.
The evening breathes a setting sun to sleep.

Walk. A lantern within.

Shine straight down below.
You can breathe new life inside yourself.
And run into the looming storm.

A sun will rise and a brand new day is born.
The evening breathes a setting sun to sleep.

We will finish what we have started.
We won't become one of the departed ones
And fall.

We won't become one of the departed and fall.

Writhing in darkness.
Writhing in chaos.

We will finish what we have started.
We won't become one of the departed ones.
We will finish what we have started.
We won't become one of the departed ones.

4. Cain

The morning star appeared to feed on the weak of heart.
Pulled through the onslaught of struggle.
You won't find me here. You won't find me here.

Seek to devour there is a war in my head seeping out
There is a war.

Seeking. Fearing nothing but shadows...
...left from a whisper...

Prince of all pretensions chasing the sound of mind
Slipped through the cracks of intention.
You won't find me near. You won't find me near.

Seek to devour. There is a war in my head seeping out.

This is a war for no one else to see.
Fighting so we can be free.
Let go of your inhibitions.
This is a war!

Eye to the sightless eye. Face to the blistered face.
Bore to broken. Weak to the weakened man to crippled man.

This is a war for no one else to see.
Fighting so we can be free.
Let go of your inhibitions.
This is a war.

At long last... this chapter has come to an end.
We won't forget the memories. The starless nights up above.
...And the warmth of a summer fire.
Now that fire is burning our cities down
I can hear the echoes of our brothers
Screaming from the rooftops.

This is a war for no one else to see.
Fighting so we can be free.
Let go of your inhibitions.
This is a war for no one else to see.
Release your inhibitions.
This is a war.

5. Close To The Grave

In a blanket of ashes
Buried the willing after surrender
We had no choice
You lie in the bed that you make

Fleeing
Leading
Grieving
Leaving
See through and feeble
False
Misleading
Following after you
Leaving me through

Oh, your machine heartbeat is failing
Oh, your machine heartbeat's cold

Fear the sight
A shadow close to the grave
Heartless congregation
A shadow split your soul in two

Bow down
Bow down
Bow down to the face of coin
Bow down
Bow down
Bow down assume the vagrant
Your world is a hole
You'll never climb out of
I can hear your children grieving

Surrender in a field of corpses
You live a world that you burn
Chasing
Racing
Capture
Enslaving
Pray on the feeble
Like minded enraging
A dark hole swallows you
Just as you open your eyes

[2x]
Cover your head
Cheat to win
Uncover your face
Remove your skin

In your final day your children are grieving
The truth was burned away
A shadow split your soul in two
Closer to the grave

In your final day
The truth was burned away
A shadow
Closer to the grave

6. A Way Out

In and out of consciousness
This vision comes to me again and again
A light without a flame

Embrace the end
Embrace the end of a needle

Cure sight and march
Another hallucination
Cure the night that fell within
Mislead by an aberration

Yesterday is gone
To fire to flame
Yesterday is gone
To fire to flame

All in all you watched me crawl from the ground
From fire from flame
Feasting on the eyes of another
The same eyes to see
Eyes to heal, eyes to burn

A prophecy came to me
Where torment is washed away
Focus clearly swallowed the edge of disaster
Walking on the edge of disaster

Cure sight and march
Another hallucination
Cure the night that fell within
Mislead by an aberration

Finally awake from a distance
Always loved you from a distance
Getting closer to your embraces
Becoming paralyzed in you

Take me with you on the edge of a needle
Take me with you on the edge of a needle

Take me with you
Take me with you
Take me with you
Take me with you

7. Keeping Secrets

Feeding off carcass left behind.
Telling all who have ears to hear it.
Feeding off carcass left behind.
Telling all who have ears to hear it.

Yet they stand behind their Faith.
You think you're found the answer?
You will be eaten alive.
Carry yourself all self righteous.
Only the meek will survive.

We hold the key.
And we are keeping secrets to empower.

I let myself go.
I won't go back to that place.
I will never let you go.
Never.

Lie yourself out.
Take away from me.
Tell your fabricated tale.
Cheat me how you will.

Somehow, some way
I'll take anything you throw at me.
He is but a wolf in sheep's clothing
And he will devour the kill.

I let myself go.
I won't go back to that place.
I will never let you go.
Never.

Building a wall of fire to hide face down, engulfed in flames.
There is a snake who will whisper sweet nothings into your ears my son
Turning temptations into litigations
Cleaver endeavors be done.

My sacred vow... this I swear
I will never surrender to the one that hunts you.
We hold the key.
We hold the secrets that empower you over destiny, over enemy,
Keeping secrets, holding vows, savor the moment.
Never surrender.

Lie. Keep this a secret.
Take. Keep this a secret from you.
Tell. Keep this a secret.
Cheat. Keep this a secret from you.

8. Ceasing To Breathe

Ceasing to breathe as you first appear
Set my heart ablaze
Gasping for breath
The coming of ages is finally upon me

There's nothing in this world that could pry you away
The innocence you hold brings me to my knees

Your touch, your love...
Every waking moment longing just to hold you near
Your touch, your love...
This search for your embrace
Desperation for your touch

Ceasing to breathe
Parting the seas for your coming arrival
Something within me
Fierce and relentless
Life itself dissipates

Your touch, your love...
Every waking moment longing just to hold you near
Your touch, your love...
This search for your embrace
Desperation for your touch

There is a place where two beating hearts connect and you will find me there
Where I am waiting for you
Follow the river of tears to where I am
This bottomless devotion and endless adulation...

I could spend forever in this place
We made it something so real

There's nothing in this world that could pry you away
The innocence you hold brings me to my knees

Your touch, your love...
Every waking moment longing just to hold you near
Your touch, your love...
This search for your embrace
Desperation for your touch
Your love...

9. F.F.I.

Awake
This lack of sleep is killing me
Running from myself armed to the teeth
In a dream I become the hunted, stalked by my own hand
There is a candle burning from both ends
Put me down. Someone put me under. Say goodbye to validity

Awake until our final day
Until a black sun rises up
A blood red tide will sweep us all away

There is no end in sight
Until I walk this cold earth alone
This absent sleep is cutting deep, it's killing me
Searching for an end to exhaustion armed to the teeth
In a dream I can't recall what never was
The peace I never held. The comfort of silence

Awake until our final day
Until a black sun rises up
A blood red tide will sweep us all away

Vigilance eating it's way through like acid. Nothing will stand
Sinking lower and lower.. Everything turns black..
And my sight is lost

10. Hopeless

You bring the cancer in every direction.
The snake from below will rise up and put you down.
Down, down.

Listen, an instance today.
Death beyond reason. Dismay.
Breathing a fire free of desire.
You're leading a thieving parade.

With what angst do you lead your pursuit?
With what angst do you lead?
Back down.
What you ingest and what you devour is only what you make it.

Seek me out in your silence.
Hold your tongue or be silent
Or you forever will be hopeless in despair.

Your home is a crippled caress.
Playing, enraging detest.
Your destination beyond devastation.
Your only strength your weakness.

On what grounds are you pointing your finger?
On what grounds you rebuke?

Mock. Pray.
Hurt. Pray.
Cut. Pray.
Lash. Pray.

Seek me out in your silence.
Hold your tongue or be silent
Or you forever will be hopeless in despair.
Hopeless in despair.

Death is but a vulture preying on your flesh.
Wake to the sound of your own voice screaming yourself out of bed.
Death is but a vulture preying on your flesh.
Wake to the sound of your own voice screaming yourself out of bed.

Seek me out in your silence.
Seek me out in shadows.
Hold your tongue or be silent.
Seek me out in your silence.
Seek me out in shadows.
Hold your tongue or be silent
Or you forever will be hopeless in despair.
Hopeless in despair.
Hopeless in despair.
Hopeless in despair.

11. Reprise

Watched you come so far.
Shined like a blackened star.
Watched you get torn apart with the teeth of a broken heart.
A widow dressed in black spins her web.

We watched you rise. Fall.
We rise together and fall for the better.
Live. Die.
Live for each other and die for another.
Reprise.

Watched her crawl so far.
Held her in his arms.
She'd broken their hearts and broken their minds.
Her venom ate through their lives.

Rise. Fall.
We rise together and fall for the better.
Live. Die.
Live for each other and die for another.

Contemptuous. Sardonic.
Let her be a widow dressed in black.

She will not face you.
She will not face you.
She will not face you.
She will not...

She will not face you.
She will not face you.
She will not face you.
She will not face you.

Go hungry for ruin.
Tangled in evil.
Ever so fearless, this blackened priestess.
Deceitful Sorceress.
Blinded by her own shroud.
She was always too proud.
The king with no master reigns in disaster.
Reigns in disaster.

Rise. Fall.
We rise together and fall for the better.
Live. Die.
Live for each other and die for another.

Rise. Fall.
We rise together and fall for the better.
Live. Die.
Live for each other and die for another.

Watched her crawl so far.
She will not face you.
Let her be a widow dressed in black.
Let her poison another fellow.
She broke their hearts and minds.
Watched her crawl so far.

12. Bitter Shroud Repentance

I cursed. In the path of those who wept before.
Conception. Bitterness, my shroud that I take comfort in.
There's something different in the depths within.

A presence over pretense.
God, my Father, immerse me in your spirit.
I fall to my knees and here I wait for you.

Through all the wickedness I've sewn, through every tear I've bore.
Through curses that I've leached and own, my failed desire's in you.

With my early pages written in deception, it still lingers.
Bitterness, my shroud that I take comfort in. Unsheathe me.

I dream of the depths of the fiery lake, calling me down.

But my spirit desires to give you glory. [2x]
Unsheathe me.

Through all the wickedness I've sewn, through every tear I've bore. [2x]
Through curses that I've leached and own, my failed desire's in you.

Hold me in your mercy.
Pull me up from the fire below and hold me in your arms.
Pull me close.
Hold me in your mercy.
Pull me up from the depths below and hold me in your arms.
Pull me so close
Pull me so close and never let me go.
Never. [3x]
