THE AUTUMN OFFERING LYRICS

1. Cotton Shooter

[Instrumental]

2. Synapse

Opiate magnet
It's thirst and it was pulling
We met in the earth while I laid on dry dirt
I humbly serve you
Queen of the dragon
Chasing, raping, killing
Dying freezing
Lying to your loved ones
Stealing
You are the eater of men's souls

So you burn me again like a moth to the flame
Drown in her depths
(slay me)
Swim in her shame
Corroding like rust as she tears you apart

I am the product
Rotten offspring of the needle
Chemical synapse dictates behavior
A fool if bought my lies
I'd sell your soul to the devil if it'd get me high

Lysergik chemical drip
Methadone waste land
My days burn together
My nights in a nod
Drowning
Your killing me
You know I'll submit every time

I am the product
Rotten offspring of the needle
Chemical synapse dictates behavior
A fool if bought my lies
I'd sell your soul to the devil if it'd get me high

Lysergik chemical drip
Methadone waste land
My days burn together
My nights in a nod
Drowning
Your killing me
You know I'll submit every time

3. Born Dead

Cold silence grips me
The life-giving womb a grave
Breathe embryonic poison
Takes my breath away
Shadows engulf this day in black
For one such as I born to his death
My blood of life the venom
Forever wear it's stain

Fuck you and you're broken hands
Fuck you for words unsaid
Fuck all you're malice and you're lies
I am the scar forever cut into your skin
I am the living born dead

Your just a fucking used up hole
(Sent back to the shadows)
Cauterized dead and bloated

These are your last days
Closed permanently
There's only one exit left
Burn

[CHORUS]

From the blood of perdition
I stood and looked into it's eyes
Ripe with death and putrefaction
No God to hear my infant cries
Through stained glass cracks I slipped and slithered
My name drips off the serpent's tongue

Wolves and snakes encircle me
Yet cannot kill the son of man

From the blood of perdition
Pray for a invocation
Death doesn't know my name
I've lived this life in vain

4. Exhale The Locusts

I tried to bleed out, bleed out the sickness
With synthetic remorse,
Like tempests they assail from the sky.
(Haunting me, killing me. Will I remain?)

...and I'm sorry for all I've done to you
In my hour of shame, twisting, turning blind, deaf.

Waif-like and thinning (Go. Run away)
Don't look back until your eyes bear the strain of new light.
Exhale all of the sorrow I've brought unto you.
Exhale the locusts,
Exhale the locusts.

Better off unfeeling numb and motionless.
Frozen like a sleeping death
Cold mother You're gone.
All I'm left with is my hate.

No, with my blood opiate entwines her poison lips on mine.
I'm better off in the lye, for I've got nothing anymore.

Waif-like and thinning (Go. Run away)
Don't look back until your eyes bear the strain of new light.
Exhale all of the sorrow I've brought unto you.
Exhale the locusts,
Exhale the locusts.

Go, run away,
Don't look back until your eyes bear the strain of new light.
Exhale all of the sorrow I've brought unto you.
Exhale the locusts.

The sun you've always known,
a bleeding heart. Your Achilles heel,
the sun you've always known. We fade away.

5. Fed To The Lions

I shade myself into the backlight of a room,
My shadow apes my movements. The needle and the spoon.
Now I can't sleep without going numb, so many nightmares forming.
Left alone, with no force for resistance.

Don't you dare tell anyone.
Raped, abused, and shaken,
Dark-minded maturation.
Closed fist domination.
(I'm still alive)
Cold vengeance, just for fun.
Sickle to brains the sum.
Gut string violins, dark movement begins.
Closing haunted hymns.
I'll stab your eyes I'll tear you apart.
Left in a unmarked burial mound,
Quartered and bound to the corpse of a pig.
You'll be together underground.

The scenes replay, haunting me again.
The killer and the wound, bound in an endless dance.

So tell me how the fuck am I supposed to move on?
Please tell me how to forgive those who took my youth away.
I prayed to a God that never was.
My screams fell on deaf ears.
I'm alone with my time in hell.
If I can't die then please let me sleep.

Sad little man, born of sin.
Blood dripping from your blade.
Ask your God why you're alive.
You only wanted to be saved.

No salvation for the rapist priest, so many lies, so many truths to bend

6. Hessian Blade

Rise. Don't write your epitaph until the body dies.
Hate fuels the strength within you, therein your will resides to crush all the ones who've wronged you.

Spit back in their face, fight for your God-given life.
Lay to waste, destroy what conspires against you.

Nobody knows, not one.
The pain you have overcome.
Don't lose your fight, too many good soldiers have died.
Carry the Hessian blade of malice and hatred.
We rise war from the Hessian blade.

From ashes, the phoenix takes flight.
No fear to breed in the eyes of brothers, dead sons make godless mothers.
This war, we answer the call.
Born to a brutal world, it s your convictions that define you, decides who separates the fools and cowards.

Carry the Hessian blade
This is who you are, no one can define you.

7. Death Mask

The sins of the father...
A family portrait hung upon the wall (douse the sleeping bodies.)
Unaware, yet marked for death.
Cold, sadistic mother.
Ashes are what she yearns.

Haunting breeze, weighing down, then crawl away, they left you to drown.
The depths give up the dead.

Slit open wrists for the martyred, suffer no more.
Revolt. The pain of their lives you couldn't bear,
So put out the fires of their souls.
Release the pyre from the alter of hell.

Alone we fall down.
Silently drown.
Kill this life again

A failed god, living inside of you, condemned.
Murdered inside of you. Time for reprieve.

8. Viral

Thirty will not buy reprieve.
Your words are daggers that break like plastic swords.
So pick up your torches it s conviction that eludes you.
I defend what s mine with a murderous rage, herein the start of your nightmare.

No matter how many holes you pierce, you will never be half of me.
The act has run its course, pray at the alter of heresy.
I'll take your fucking heart, leave you ripped and bleeding.
Now get up off your knees. When I take your life, you better look me in the eyes,
Or die just how you lived yours. Spineless. Viral.
You'd crawl to your coffin.

Corroded, scaled and grotesque.
Filled with an undying hate, malignant.
Sentenced to death for all the lies. Betrayed.

No matter how many holes you pierce, you will never be half of me.
The act has run its course, a cesspool of a bloodline. You'd crawl to your coffin.

9. Among Wolves

Vampires fled to foreign lands, asylum for the disconnected
Hope died within his hands, a shroud for the protected.
Preying on the blood soaked lamb, destruction complete.
Is this the American dream?

A man of no compassion, wages war of attrition, to awaken the beast within.
It's coming back around.

Have you forgotten me?
For the wounded I stand.
You fled when you left the broken.
The curtain's falling down for you.
Can't hide again.
They hide the scars, the shame.
The rapist across the sea.
Who will hunt down the wolf?

When our own country fails us, are we so far gone into the flames?
Burn Hollywood to the ground.
Salt the ground, buried face down.
(Stand among serpents)
The western world in thrall.
All you motherfucking bleeding hearts, let the oceans swallow you all.
The knife rises, the noose tightens, no man can escape his fate.

10. Bloodlust

Spoken lies in a whispered voice
Drag the blade across my skin
You present me with no other choice
Let the bloodletting begin
Cut the veins let the blood run hot
To caress the beauty of the porcelain skin
I'll drain you of the life you know
If you only return the sin
Skin and bones
No weight for the hanging
Shattered wrists
Feel no sting
Your my temple of flesh and bone
Yet I'll tear it right down again Surrender
Your heart to the knife
I don't recall a choice
Flesh to flesh without purpose
Some lay dead while others mourn
Cut from the womb of a living doll
I can't control this bloodlust
Is it worth the sin if I go on?
We both lose in a game not meant to be won
We are a decaying flesh of an age
The beating heart of a world no longer existing
Look at us cutting each other
(Lost inside this tainted machine)
Is this what we've become?
(I often wish I couldnt feel)
Beyond the suicidal thoughts of darkness
(The black engulfs me)
Surrender
Your heart to the knife
I don't recall a choice
Flesh to flesh without purpose
Some lay dead while others mourn
Cut from the womb of a living doll
I can't control this bloodlust
Is it worth the sin if I go on?
We both lose in a game not meant to be won

11. Myriad Black

The falsely innocent born of liars, preying on the world.
Blood from open wrists, bait temptation.
Let death unfurl.

I am the scar across the eyes of the prophets that feed off the lies.
Collapsing the masses, you will never turn blood into wine.

Bones broken, lies left unspoken.
How can I believe in this world that you sold me?
So bait temptation...death unfurls.

You'll grow to loathe their names.
Prophecies of lies to bait the walking dead.
It justifies my grotesque existence.

You'll bleed from the inside out, swallow the shit you're fed.

Feed the gears with the martyrs.
The lamentations of their daughters.
Rebirth from the death of the father, corrupting the innocent blood.
