THE ACACIA STRAIN LYRICS

1. Doomblade

"South Hartford 911. What is your emergency?"
"Three. Three people."
"Three people. Ma'am, what's the problem. Are you injured?"
"Three people. Three people are dead."
"Did you say dead?"
"I killed them. Send the police."
"Ma'am, excuse me. Who did you kill?"
"I killed everyone."

Behold the hydra: an endless source of blood and brain.
Lies from lies you liar.
Hang your head and yourself in shame.

My heart is made of wasps and my brain is made of flies.
I can read your thoughts and I can hear your lies.
My lungs are filled with fire and my fists are filled with hate.
By the time you start running it will already be too late.

I hope they leave you to die.
I hope the rats eat you alive.

I hope they leave you to die.
I hope the rats eat you alive.

Stop chasing your dreams.
They will never come true.

And when she screams,
She will be screaming for you.

Reality is only as far as you can see.

Give me room to breathe.
Give me room to breathe.
Give me room to breathe.

Stop chasing your dreams.
They will never come true.

And when she screams,
She will be screaming for you.

Reality is only as far as you can see.

Give me room to breathe.
Give me room to breathe.
Give me room to breathe.

In a world filled with lies, you will learn to appreciate trust.

And as you're lying face down in the dirt,
I hope you felt it.
I hope it fucking hurt.

And as you're lying face down in the dirt,
I hope you felt it.
I hope it fucking hurt.

Oh.

I hope you felt it.
I hope it fucking hurt.

2. Our Lady Of Perpetual Sorrow

Your god has fallen from grace.
I wish he was real so I can spit in his face.
Dead three days and refuses to rise.
A failure in his father's eyes.

God's eyes lie in the Devil's hands.
God's eyes lie in the Devil's hands.
God's eyes lie in the Devil's hands.
God's eyes lie in the Devil's hands.

Humanity's downfall is a trust in a God that isn't there.
We are disease of this earth.

Scatter the ashes and shatter the bone as I reclaim my rightful place upon
His thrown.

God's eyes lie in the Devil's hands.
God's eyes lie in the Devil's hands.
God's eyes lie in the Devil's hands.
God's eyes lie in the Devil's hands.

I don't have faith in Him but I believe in your failures.
Your king on high is lower than low.

Your king on high is lower than low.
Your king on high is lower than low.

3. Go To Sleep

There is no light.
There is only the dark.

There is no light.
There is only the dark.

Life is a nightmare.
Death is a gift.

I'll see you all at the fountain of youth.

We are the children of death.
Nailed to the cross.
We have nothing left.

You try to see but you have no eyes.
And when you feast you feast on flies.
For when you speak you tell only lies.
Wallow in the shit that falls from the sky.

With every breathe we pray for death.
With every breathe we pray for death.

We are the children of death.
Nailed to the cross.
We have nothing left.

You try to see but you have no eyes.
And when you feast you feast on flies.
For when you speak you tell only lies.
Wallow in the shit that falls from the sky.

You try to see but you have no eyes.
And when you feast you feast on flies.
For when you speak you tell only lies.
Wallow in the shit that falls from the sky.

Go to sleep.
Go to sleep.
Go to sleep.
Go to sleep.

There is no light.
There is only the dark.

I welcome death with open arms.

There is no light.
There is only the dark.

I welcome death with open arms.

4. Brain Death

I need her heart.
And I it beating.
I need her head.
And I need it bleeding.

Don't let me get in your head.
I'll make you wish you were dead.

Don't let me get in your head.
I'll make you wish you were dead.

If I repeat myself I apologize.
It's hard to see with clouded eyes.
You owe a debt.
I want what's mine.
Pay with your life.

Grit my teeth more than I should.
When I swallow I taste only blood.
I hate myself more than you ever could.
When I swallow I can taste your blood.

I still see her when I close my eyes.
I still see her when I close my eyes.

If I repeat myself I apologize.
It's hard to see with clouded eyes.
You owe a debt.
I want what's mine.
Pay with your life.

If your life depended on me,
I'm don't know if I would save you.
I would rather see the sadness in your eyes,
As I let you die.

Save your apologies unless you're on your knees.
No need to beg and plea.

Grit your teeth, you aim to please.
Grit your teeth, you aim to please.

5. The Mouth Of The River

She was shot in the head!

Burning bridges.
Hiding bodies.

I'm not a murderer but I'm sure I could try.

The day you find comfort in the arms of another could be the day that you die.

I told myself to take her head.
I'd rather take her arms instead.

Desolation.
Extermination.
Execution.
Determination.

No depth perception.
I pulled out her eye to teach her a lesson.
I give up because you gave up on me.
I am a failure and no one can save me.

Her entire head was sitting in my freezer.
They thought I wanted to eat it.

I don't know why,
I just wanted to keep it.

Give them an inch.
They take a mile.
All you were was a big butt and a smile.

"I have the gun so I am the fucking boss."
You will rethink what you said when you realize how much blood you've lost.

Desolation.
Extermination.
Execution.
Determination.

Blegh.

Desolation.
Extermination.
Execution.
Determination.

Grasping reality and shaking my head.
I don't need sleep.
I'll sleep when I'm dead.

Just when I thought it was over they found the bodies at the mouth of the river.

Fuck.

Sick but smart.
I ate their hearts.

Sick but smart.
I ate their hearts.

She was shot in the head.

Days growing colder.
Wind whips to shiver.
I lost all I knew at the mouth of the river.

6. Dust And The Helix

I have lost all faith in the human race.
Every man, every woman, every child is a disgrace.

We don't deserve to live.
We don't deserve to die.
Because life is worthless.

We don't deserve to live.
We don't deserve to die.
Because life is worthless.

Don't bury me unless you're sure that I am dead.
Don't bury me unless you're sure that I am dead.

No one will notice the absence of time.
It is the difference between the sheep and the swine.

Slowly chewing away and resisting.
Slowly we rot in the mouth of existence.

Bury my body at sea so the dogs won't be able to find me.
Burn all the remains and scatter the ashes accordingly.

Drop down.
Drop down.
Grind your knees in the glass as you drown.

Drop down.
Drop down.
Grind your knees in the glass as you drown.

7. Victims Of The Cave

Victims of the cave.
We are drawn to the light.
We will never be saved.

The sun without the eye.
Existence is atoms and the void.

Head in the sand.
We bury our problems with our head in our hand.

The world is covered with demons.
And the eye sees everything.

There is no end.
There is only pretend.

You are decay.
I let you in.
You rotted away.

There is no end.
There is only pretend.

You are decay.
I let you in.
You rotted away.

This is your nuclear warfare.
This is your scared to death.
This is your grief of the world resting heavy on your weakling chest.

This is your plague and famine.
This is your death disease.
This is the pain of the world, dying on her fucking knees.

I am your pain and heartache.
I am your up at night.
I am everything you hate about your fucking life.

I am your nervous breakdown.
I am crushed hopes and dreams.
I am the life inside you dying on its fucking knees.

I can not live.
I refuse to die.

I exist.
I survive.

As the leaves may fall and the dust may rise.
So then someday soon even death may die.

Death may die.

Eyeh.

8. Time And Death And God

The spinning you feel is not of the earth, it's all in your head.
The blue in the sky and green in the grass, unwillfully imagined.
Everything you know sparked by unbelievable coincidence.
Sub consciousness.
Never any consequence.
The twinkle of the stars you see is your mind wishing to believe the magic of nonsense.
We are dealt a hand and we act like there's a dealer.
You can't define life without speaking to the reaper.
Your belief that death is an option hinges on the fact that life is a reality.
We started the fight for survival and now we want to quit because we are losing.
And we cannot define life without always uttering death.
I wear a watch even though I don't believe in time.
The idea is false, just like the rest of the ones in your mind.
I don't fear death because I refuse to believe in life.
Genius of design.
Fooled by your own mind.
Size is infinite.
Reality is never explicit.
Simplicity so impossibly complicated.
Infinity too dauntingly sophisticated.
I am not real.

9. The Chambered Nautilus

It is never fucking over.
I don't need to explain myself to anyone.
Let the icecaps melt.
May none survive.
No chance of hell.
The seas will rise.

This is a house, it is not a home.
I always knew I would die alone.
Put up without a fight.
And when I drive, I drive at night.
Miles to go, it only gets darker.
I count the dotted lines, not the mile markers.

A man without a nation.
A king with no crown.
Where there's no place left to go but up,
I will only bring you down.

We were a mistake.
We have miles to go before I wake.
The left hand of god holds the hammer and the snake.
We have miles to go before we wake.
You all speak like desperate men, all living in the lion's den.
This is the end of the line, and everything's fine.
Everything's fine.

Let the icecaps melt.
May none survive.
No chance of hell.
The seas will rise.

This is a house, it is not a home.
I always knew I would die alone.
Frozen minds, we stare ahead.
Everyone I ever loved is dead.

10. House Of Abandon

All paths follow the beam [x4]

They keep dying but I'm still here.
All I want to hear is dirt hitting the box
I don't need this, you have become a health risk.
Listen for the moan, better to travel alone.
I don't need this, you have become a health risk.
I was born on the battlefield, born into death beneath the wheel.
Sirens and screams were my lullabies,
I never had the time to learn how to cry
The good times are behind us, if they were ever good at all.
The future will not find us,
You failed me
I failed us all
Abandonment
Sorry is not going to pay the rent.
I wanna hear you say it
I wanna see your life sprayed across the walls.

Life is the slowest way to die. [x4]

I lost you because I wanted to and they will never end up finding you.
And if they do, they won't know it's you.
Eat it alive. Bury the living. Burn the dead. [x2]
As we live, we are surrounded by death. Blinded by the idea, that it's all that's left.
True life ends, when we emerge from the womb.
All clarity comes, and is placed in your tomb.
