THE AUTUMN OFFERING LYRICS

1. The Great Escape

Swallow your own scarred lose of inhibition
Substance over consequence and you don't mind

Kill your thoughts
Annihilate your senses
Accept involuntary intoxication

Well you see it all the time
And you cant stop
Times a tickin, kill the clock
Propose a toast with me to the ills of the world
Its all you need

Before its over sing this god damned song
One last time
One last time
One last time
One last fucking time, yeah

Last shot before last call
Chase my glare behind your bloodshot eyes
Its brighter than the hope for a better tomorrow

Kill your thoughts
Annihilate the senses
Accept involuntary intoxicants

2. Revelation

Welcome the prince of a royal family
We accept your heritage, of carnage, and all of the dirty dealings
Heir to a throne, by all means, necessary
All hail to the thieves of democracy

Take some action, and reclaim that
Which at once, we held in the palms of our hands
Overthrow the incompetent
Consider the source
Off with the serpents head
Rape our traditions and values as they are left for dead
Victimizing demons while demonizing victims
Look past the lie

Divide, conquer, pillage, destroy

First of the agenda
Fulfill the patriarchs revenge
And reeking havoc upon our land
Let me ask one question,
Who children did you slaughter before your rest today

Divide, conquer, pillage, destroy

Take some action, and reclaim
That which at once we held in our hands
Overthrow the incompetent
Consider the source
Off with the serpents head
Off with the serpents head
Rape our traditions and values as they are left for dead
Victimizing demons, while demonizing victims
Look past the lie
Look past the lie

Rape our traditions and values as they are left for dead
Victimizing demons while demonizing victims

Look past the lie

3. Calm After The Storm

Five hundred and fifteen days and nights later
The generation is still doomed to watch its fate.
Flash on a screen, inevitable blinding horizon,
On high alert for terror this has to be a dream.

Have you ever wondered what its like
To feel the earth crash into you?
Have you ever wondered
What it would be like to feel
Theres nothing you could do?

This sky cant hold us all, so just set it ablaze.
Swallowed by the fire, laid to rest in the bowels of humanity.
Winters coming,
Please tear me away from this.
Just let them keep itching each others trigger finger.
Its all a matter of who will blink first.

When its all over where will we go?

4. Last Desperado

There's no coming home when you're on the way to the end
Say our last goodbyes holding in all that we can
And we both know that I'm scared of leavin
There's no need to show it, just set me on my way

Here I kneel screaming for an answer
While god just turns his other check
As I move from this world
Realizing what was meant to be

Point... me in the right direction
And let me wander until I find my reason
If you don't hear from me by this time tomorrow
Don't worry cause its all over

I'll have known what I died for
With hope you will find your way without me
But dont give up until you find that reason

I'll be watching over you all
With a deaf ear to your cries

There's no coming home when you're on the way to the end
Say our last goodbyes holding in all that we can
And we both know that I'm scared of leavin
There's no need to show it, just set me on my way

Here I kneel screaming for an answer
While god just turns his other check
As I move from this world
Realizing what was meant to be
What was mean to be...

5. Deflowered

Every fuckin day I sacrifice myself
Making up for a dime the company can't afford
A professional button pusher
Craving the most valued resource we have
In a single serving

Leave dinner on the table, cause daddys comin home
Corruption ain't so bad after all
Routine self gratification
This parade has got to end
This parade has got to end

She bought a one way ticket
On a bullet train
Guess who will be waiting at the end of the line
This is just a test
This is just a test to prove you worthy

Witness the feast
As a lie here dying of starvation
Just sneak a lil taste
No one will ever notice

As I lean over the edge of this dock
I find myself wishing I knew how to swim
These waiting room walls are closing in
But the sweet smell of a rose
Helps me fight this urge

Untouched, sealed up in mint condition
A pretty pre-wrapped package waiting to be torn apart
Innocence is lost, it was overrated anyway
Let me enlighten you with my touch

Leave it on the table, cause daddys comin home
It ain't so bad after all
Routine self gratification
This parade has got to end
This parade has got to end

Let it all build up
Yeah
Like handprints on the wall

This dream has blossomed
This dream has blossomed

This dream has blossomed and wilted away
Satisfaction

6. Doomed Generation

It begins. from the sky comes a king of terror.
The sky will burn at forty-five degrees.
Fire approaches the great new city.
Who will be saved?
Twin brothers torn apart by chaos,
While the fortress endures.
Our great leader will succumb.
He'll be the death of us all.

We are not a nation, we are doomed generation,
We are not a nation we are doomed generation.
War. War.

A new holy war, prophesized for hundreds of years
Spawns from the deaths of the attacks.
Solider raining fire and aid on innocence,
If only we could be aware.
Never will we see the day when decency will prevail.
God have mercy on our souls.
We've always been destined to fail.

We are not a nation we are doomed generation
We are not a nation we are doomed generation.
Now. Now.

As I look around I see our world begin to crumble apart.
As poison rains from the skies,
And our flesh begins to burn.
I look around and realize I have nowhere to turn.

In the city of god there will be a great thunder,
Twin brothers torn apart by chaos,
While the fortress endures.
Our great leader will succumb,
And the third great war will begin
When the great city is burning.
And the world will end soon after

7. Homecoming

And I won't sit back and watch anymore
While all the fallacies and lies become to much to handle.
Your on a train that's heading off its tracks.
Back up, sit back, and watch the flames dance.

Through the times that we were friends,
Truth has been skin deep like glass in the wounds.
One and the same.
So save that precious breath
Before you shatter like the rest.

I'll watch you choke on this,
Watch you choke on all the promises.
After all the hallowed words you spoke
Many are blind to see the reality of what is happening.
I'll watch you choke.
Before it has a chance to be fed to someone else.
I'll watch you choke.
Take a deep breath, it will be your last.
Burn me.

From here on out our lives reflect the shattered glass.
Just another painful reminder of a distant hateful past.
Fly away with the fire.
So shut your mouth, look in the mirror,
And bite your forked tongue
Before the ink begins to dry.
After all the trials we have fought amongst ourselves.
The time has come to sit back
And watch you fall.

8. Bonds In Which We Break

Where'd those days go when I thought I knew you?
What happened to the person, I once loved.
Desolate thoughts are all I think of now.
Its killing my mind, and now I want to kill you.

I see you now and stare into those whore stained eyes
And wonder how I could let you lead me to,
Believe that you were someone good for me, you weren't.
You're just another blood sucking leech.

Violence breaks out, inside my head.
The passive thoughts are now thrown away.

Despise and disgust are all I see in you now.
I wish things could have been right between us.
I wish you were the person you had appeared to be.
But now my thoughts are gone, and thrown away.
But now my hate is buried inside me,
Left for new seeds to grow, to grow from this.

How long will it be, until you notice, there is nothing left for us.

Whoa. these spoken infidelities will never see our daylight again.
So where does this all lead us to now?
I'll never be able to look at you again.
But maybe that is for the best now we'll see.
Death is now near my dear, we must part our ways.

One thousand cries now die.

9. Shadows Of Betrayal

Time after time, I've been deflected from your life
Now the time has come, to end your reign
Time after time, I've let myself be stepped on
Calling forth I scream out, my cries go unheard

Anguish and agony, brought on now through all I know
Intangible it seems, but I'll find my way
You were never there to pick me up when I fell
I was never the one to think of your for help
In the end we'll never see eye to eye
This is how it will be no matter what you say

Shadows fall over us, but I am left reflecting
I am lost, so fucking lost
Running trying to find, the light at the end
Pushing my way through these walls
I'll make it through this hellish world

Anguish and agony, brought on now through all I know
Intangible it seems, but I'll find my way
You were never there to pick me up when I fell
I was never the one to think of you for help
In the end we'll never see eye to eye.
This is how it will be no matter what you say

I'll paint these walls. I'll coat these walls.
I'll paint these fucking walls
Red with your blood

For my one true savior... Myself

10. Beginning's End

A sudden gasp for life, will this be our last?
Will we sit back and, watch fate destroy us?
Come and take my hand, we can ride off
And watch the world die as we breath in our last breaths.

Sun sets on us.

The darkened skies are now falling over head.
Will this be the end, or just another dream.
Angels falling from burning skies.
Hell has opened up its doors for us.

Dying world.

Now can you feel the end?
Now can you see the end?
Now do you want the end?
Now do you think your god cares?

A mass suicide for all, all mankind.
This is all our faults, no one will be saved.
Our time is running thin.
I look towards the skies.
I see now that this is truly the end.
