THE BEREAVED LYRICS

1. Zero Of The Day

It's a short time we live
If you think about how long we're dead
Drenched in darkness
An eternity underground
Where white worms share the spoils
Of our putrid miserable carcass

Choose the wrong road again
Hoping this was it
You showed the door for me
Then you swallowed the key

It's time to break the chains
Release your demons
It's time to breach the walls
And face your fears

A wretched soul
With profound suffering
With profound suffering
A total wreck
Blending deep despair
Blending deep despair

[Chorus:]
How did it come to this
(You made me)
Feel like the zero of the... day
After just one kiss
I am the zero of the day

With all that come of this
After everything that's gone
This cannot be undone
The suffering remains the same
Deccaying thought close in steal
The breath from my lungs
The eyes roll back into my
Into my head!!

[Solo - Tranemyr]

[Chorus:]
How did it come to this
(You made me)
Feel like the zero of the... day
After just one kiss
I am the zero of the day

Feels like someone is wearing my crown
Just plain simply tearing me down
And now I am I fated to rot and wither
Even as I breathe

A wretched soul
With profound suffering
With profound suffering
A total wreck
Blending deep despair
Blending deep despair

[Chorus:]
How did it come to this
(You made me)
Feel like the zero of the... day
After just one kiss
I am the zero of the day

2. Parasite Sleep

It came from the wayside
A shadow spread across this world
Breathing a demon
The colossus no longer sleeps

A silent killer
To take the role of man kind
A rapture coming
To bring a model of perfection

They came to the surface
Breeding like flies and maggots
Airborne serpents
Implanting this infestation!

[Chorus:]
I feel it coming from within
Ripping its way out of me
The blood that courses through these veins
No longer my own
Infection spreads all inside me
The cells regenerate
Killing off all life left in here
An empty shell to desecrate!

A vast landscape
To bring forth this apocalypse
An army of desolate
War machines that came to obliterate!

[Chorus:]
I feel it coming from within
Ripping its way out of me
The blood that courses through these veins
No longer my own
Infection spreads all inside me
The cells regenerate
Killing off all life left in here
An empty shell to desecrate!

[Solo - Tranemyr]

The time is running out
Mutation has taken its hold!

So take hold all that is left
Resurrect the soldiers
We stand ready to defend
Perfection designed

[Chorus:]
I feel it coming from within
Ripping its way out of me
The blood that courses through theses veins
No longer my own
Infection spread all inside me
The cells regenerate
Killing off all life left in here
An empty shell to desecrate!

3. Alter The Image

Yaaoow!

So loud this ringing in my head
Carried through the flat line signal
The shacking limps so hard to breathe
Collapsing lungs the heart failure

The black sets in - dilate this moment
The ision narrowing - as white walls bleed

A cry to freedom but know one hearts
The lips are sewn together
Thought bringing - daylight dreams
A sky so pale and somber

[Chorus:]
I feel it coming - suffocate
The air that breathes in me
Forever drowning - daylight dies
And break this suffering

I open my eyes
To a place
That I will not
Remember tomorrow

The dreams are cruel - lost in this moment
My God I can't escape - no sign
The damage done - I'm so disgusted
Why can't they just let me be? - no sign

So many visions of this world
Is it all just in my head
The tears that fall have turned to ice
The cold is sinking in

[Chorus:]
I feel it coming - suffocate
The air that breathes in me
Forever drowning - daylight dies
And break this suffering

All that I ever wanted
Was to take away all this pain
But now that all is broken
Shattered all that will ever be!

[Solo - Bergquist]

The black sets in - dilate this moment
And leave this all behind - no sign
Vision narrowing - as white walls bleed
To reveal the other side - no sign

[Chorus:]
I feel it coming - suffocate
The air that breathes in me
Forever drowning - daylight dies
And break this suffering

4. Freezing The Blood

Breathe in all despair
Exhale the life inside
So many grey days
Covering up all the black nights

[Chorus:]
The world pauses around me
And all I see is you
As the stars fall from the sky
Reflecting all around you

Cover up all the sadness
Open up all this hate and rage
The fire burns inside my eyes's blood
Begin to boil in my veins

How is it that you control my every move
Guiding my heart and soul within
I feel helpless when it comes to you
So much is lost because of you

[Chorus:]
The world pauses around me
And all I see is you
As the stars fall from the sky
Reflecting all around you

I can't break these chains
No matter how hard I try
These images stay
Even though it hurts inside

[Solo - Bergquist]

Why is this so hard to let go
Only hearthache comes from you
Gave my blood so many times
The scars that bleed will never heal

So this is how it's to end
Once more on my knees again
The darkness covers the sky
And my eyes close once again

[Chorus:]
The world pauses around me
And all I see is you
As the stars fall from the sky
Reflecting all around you

As this world fades
The sky begins to fall
The blood stops
Flowing to the heart

The iris change
From green to white
As the body dies
I can sleep... once again

5. Shelter Through Severance

Every day it's the same
A drop of light fades away
From a sky
A list of names

To take away all these things
The air to help you breathe
And far away
The innocent

[Chorus:]
For all the knifes, you drive in me
The veins that bleed, stay awake
So at the end of the day
I lay here, sleeping again

For all the times that you speak
Words like bullets and teeth
Pierce the skin
And stitch them all in

Darkness seems to set in
Run, take cover from this
The storm
She brought upon you

[Solo - Tranemyr]

The anger will take
The glass heart will break
Collapsing, breaking, gone

You shatter all that will be
Let go of all that's living
And steal my gift of breathing
I bid you farewell

[Chorus:]
For all the knifes, you drive in me
The veins that bleed, stay awake
So at the end of the day
I lay here, sleeping again

6. Heartlight Signal

Light dims in a dark room
And sends this chill deep inside of me

Cover the shades of light again
And bury your dead
Say all the prayers of the lost
And the weakening
Believe the lies that you've been told
The blind lead the blind
Fall down onto your knees again
And worship the lie

Offer up your fate to them
Denounce your freedom
Align with the enemy

[Chorus:]
And now that all have left this place
An empty wasteland
How now can you save face
With blood on your hands
So close your eyes
And start to pray to someone up on high
And slit your wrists along the way
To the other side
To the other side

Cover the shades of dark again
And bury the damned
Say all the prayers to the lost
And the night we see
Deny the lies that you have told
And take this all inside
Rise to your feet again
And breathe the light

How strong do you think you are
Can you hold this inside your heart

[Chorus:]
And now that all have left this place
An empty wasteland
How now can you save face
With blood on your hands
So close your eyes
And start to pray to someone up on high
And slit your wrists along the way
To the other side

[Solo - Tranemyr/Bergquist]

[Chorus:]
And now that all have left this place
An empty wasteland
How now can you save face
With blood on your hands
So close your eyes
And start to pray to someone up on high
And slit your wrists along the way

7. Cold December Night

I feel this hatred
Ripping through me
Once more inside
Taking control of
The thoughts that fill my mind

So breathe the free air
Once more tonight
And take in the surroundings
Focus your eyes
On the target
Patient for the right time

[Chorus:]
The deceiving lie
(The lies)
It ends tonight
(The lies)

Stalking him slowly
I can see him breathe
In this cold December night
Planning my pattern
Of assassination
Waiting for the right time

[Chorus:]
The deceiving lie
(The lies)
It ends tonight
(The lies)

I feel this is Just
For all the pain you have caused
The both of you dust
Your breath tonight will be your last
My heart is lost
My body filled with the anger of this
Deceiving trust
Forever broken now you will see

[Solo - Bergquist]

My sanity slipping
What am I doing
Is this worth my life
My fists are shaking
My thoughts racing
As I hold this knife
I watch them slowly
From the outside
In the shadows I wait in silence
Is this the right thing
Can I move on
Must I go through with this

[Chorus:]
The deceiving lie
(The lies)
I can end this tonight
(The lies)

8. Skeleteen

Oh these are twisted times
So many twisted minds
It's in everyone's interest
To make profit from the weak

Welcome to the modern day freak show
A disease broadcast over the world
All that counts is a pretty facade
(Come on)
Join the follower's parade

Television creating consuming clones
Brainwashed surgery slaves
So many self destructive clowns
Controlled by corporate ideals

When the ending credits fade
We all participate in the masquerade
True beauty man made
Deviations lost under the blade

Plastic yet fantastic
Seems to be the new way
Anorectic puppets
Starved beyond recognition

Thick or thin
Wonder who will win
We all live in a lie
There's more than meets the eye

So many wrists slit cut out just to fit
When results are judged by looks
It's time for an extreme world makeover
Dead and decayed we're all the same

[Solo - Tranemyr/Bergquist]

9. Imprint Of A Star

Everything is lost inside this shadow
Ripping at my soul
Tear apart this fabric
The imprint to a shining star
That I have left
Freezing in this cold
Darkess, the wave of emotion comes

[Chorus:]
Hold on
Empty up this heartache
What I have done
Hold on
Please, don't give up on me now

All that has been built
And all that brought to time
Will you leave this all behind
Behind!
Shed the tear of sorrow
The blackened liquid pain
From the eyes so lifeless
Down the face of hate!

[Solo - Tranemyr/Bergquist]

[Chorus:]
Hold on
Empty up this heartache
What I have done
Hold on
Please, don't give up on me now
Now!

10. An Inconvenient Lie

Deeeooh!
There are so many black nights
Where all can be erased
Disappearing acts like illusions
They lie at the bottom of the ocean
Sealed in plastic graves
Never to be found

My tools
Their blood
My tools
Their blood
Blood!!!!

I carry the blackest secret
Covered up by the inccocent facade
Somestimes the mask gets so heavy

The way
The blood
Gets splattered
I analyze this all day long
To cover up my thirst for death

[Chorus:]
The victims that I claim are
The filth that crawls in the night
In dire need of cleansing
My needle paralyzing limbs
The black fall over their eyes
In plastic wrap they meet their fate

Yiiii!

Can't help this feeding inside me
My code's been burned in my head
The way I run this murder machine
I feel it boiling inside me
The need to take another life
Tonight they'll feel this siuffering

[Chorus:]
The victims that I claim are
The filth that crawls in the night
In dire need of cleansing
My needle paralyzing limbs
The black fall over their eyes
In plastic wrap they meet their fate
