THE DUSKFALL LYRICS

1. Paradises Into Deserts

I CAN NOT BEAR THIS FAKING ANYMORE
CAN'T MAKE ANY DECISIONS
BASED ON YOUR FACTS
WON'T GO DOWN ANYMORE
TO THE SOUND OF YOUR DEVILS LAUGH

I CAN SEE THAT ALL YOU ARE
IS JUST AN AGE LONG FACT
JUST HAVE TO WONDER HOW
YOU KEEP IT ALL INTACT

ALL IS PLANNED TO THE VERY LAST BREATH
THIS WHOLE PICTURE IS BLURRED
ALL SAID TO THE VERY LAST WORD
'GOD IS DEAD' HAVEN'T YOU HEARD?

IT HOLDS YOUR WRIST
IT GRABS YOUR THROAT
IT CARVES YOU UP
AND THROWS YOU AROUND
IT WINDS YOU UP AND LEAVES YOU DOWN

THE HORNS DON'T MAKE A DEVIL
JUST THE LIES AND DECEIT
THE DARKNESS DON'T MAKE IT EVIL
JUST WHAT LIES BENEATH
YOUR LIGHT IS MUCH DARKER NOW
THAN THE BLACK I'M APART OF
PACK YOUR BAGS FOR A FINAL RETREAT

ALL IS PLANNED TO THE VERY LAST BREATH
THIS WHOLE PICTURE IS BLURRED
ALL SAID TO THE VERY LAST WORD
'GOD IS DEAD' HAVEN'T YOU HEARD?

IT HOLDS YOUR WRIST
IT GRABS YOUR THROAT
IT CARVES YOU UP
AND THROWS YOU AROUND
IT WINDS YOU UP AND LEAVES YOU DOWN

YOU FALL
YOU CAN NOT GET UP AGAIN
SO COLD
YOU FREEZE
FEEL LIKE IT WON'T EVER END

IT HOLDS YOUR WRIST...

2. The Wheel And The Blacklight

HARD TO NOTICE
DIFFICULT TO UNDERSTAND
THE MIND OF A BROKEN MAN
THOSE STRAINED HANDS CAN'T GRASP
AS HE CRAWLS FROM THE GUTTER
TO MAKE A FINAL STAND

MY MOUTH IS FULL OF DIRT
I WON'T LAST AND IT'S NOT GOOD
CAN'T EVEN SEE THE SIGHTS
AND MY HEADLIGHTS ARE BROKE

JUST A WORN-OUT SOUL AT THE END OF THE WORLD
AT THE SPEED OF THE BLACK LIGHT
JUST A WORN-OUT SOUL AT THE END OF THE WORLD
I LOST MY WAY BACK HOME
JUST A WORN-OUT SOUL AT THE END OF THE WORLD
I'M FALLING OFF THE EDGE
JUST A WORN-OUT SOUL AT THE END OF THE WORLD

WOULD I HAVE MADE THE SAME CHOICES
WITHOUT YOU BY MY SIDE
WOULD I HAVE MADE THE SAME MISTAKES
WITHOUT YOU BREATHING DOWN MY NECK
THE STOOD BY MY SIDE TILL THE END
CRUSHED ME
WITH ALL THEIR FAKE LOVE

JUST A...

I'M AT THE EDGE OF REASON
I LIFT MY HANDS OFF THE WHEEL
I LET THE BLACK LIGHT GUIDE ME
I LIFT MY HANDS OFF THE WHEEL

JUST A...

3. Deep In Your World

THE SNAKES ARE GATHERING AGAIN
THEY SLITHER AROUND YOUR HEAD
GOING TO TAKE YOU DOWN ONCE AGAIN
YOU'RE SO EASY JUST LIKE ME

WITH A CROOKED SMILE
SUCH A TWISTED LIE
TRUST DOES NOT MEAN ANYTHING
WITH A CROOKED SMILE
SUCH A TWISTED LIE
WHEN YOU TAKE YOUR LAST BREATH

SAY ONE THING
BUT I KNOW
SO HARD TO KEEP TRACK ON YOUR LIES
STAND SO CLOSE
BUT I KNOW
YOU WANDERED TO PLACES BEYOND
AND I MEAN WHEN I SAY
YOU'RE SLIPPING AWAY EACH DAY
HARD TO STAND IN THE MIDDLE
WHEN THESE ROOTS START ROTTING AWAY

TOGETHER AND HAND IN HAND
WE GO TOWARDS THE END
PULL THE KNIFE OUT OF MY BACK
I'LL RETURN THE FAVOR, I PROMISE

WITH A CROOKED SMILE
SUCH A TWISTED LIE
TRUST DOES NOT MEAN ANYTHING
WITH A CROOKED SMILE
SUCH A TWISTED LIE
WHEN YOU TAKE YOUR LAST BREATH

SAY ONE THING
BUT I KNOW
SO HARD TO KEEP TRACK ON YOUR LIES
STAND SO CLOSE
BUT I KNOW
YOU WANDERED TO PLACES BEYOND
AND I MEAN WHEN I SAY
YOU'RE SLIPPING AWAY EACH DAY
HARD TO STAND IN THE MIDDLE
WHEN THESE ROOTS START ROTTING AWAY

4. Some More Sin On My Burden

BEEN MAD FOR A FEW DAYS NOW
I CAN'T HELP IT BUT IT SEEMS TO GROW
I'LL BE BACK SOME MORNING
UNTIL THE DAY WHEN IT'S TIME TO GO

ALL WON'T BE ALRIGHT
THESE DAYS NOTHING WILL

PUT SOME MORE SIN ON MY BURDEN
I FEEL LIKE I COULD HANDLE SOME MORE
MY BACK STILL ACHES
BUT THE URGE TOO STRONG

I’M NOT THAT DIFFERENT FROM YOU
THE SKIES TURN BLACK FOR US
THE SKIES WILL NEVER TURN LIGHT BLUE
ONLY FOR ME AND YOU

ALL WON'T BE ALRIGHT
THESE DAYS NOTHING WILL
ALL AND EVERYTHING CAN GO TO HELL
AND GET COVERED IN THE SAND

DRILL A HOLE IN MY SKULL
LET THE DEMONS OUT
PUNCH A HOLE IN MY HEART
AND SET THE DEMONS FREE
WANT TO JOIN THEM NOW
FEEL THAT COLD WIND BLOW
OPEN UP THAT BOTTLE LET THE LIQUIDS FLOW

BEEN MAD FOR A FEW DAYS NOW
I CAN'T HELP IT BUT IT SEEMS TO GROW
I'LL BE BACK SOME MORNING

ALL WON'T BE ALRIGHT
THESE DAYS NOTHING WILL
ALL AND EVERYTHING CAN GO TO HELL
AND GET COVERED IN THE SAND

DRILL A HOLE IN MY SKULL
LET THE DEMONS OUT
PUNCH A HOLE IN MY HEART
AND SET THE DEMONS FREE
WANT TO JOIN THEM NOW
FEEL THAT COLD WIND BLOW
OPEN UP THAT BOTTLE LET THE LIQUIDS FLOW

PUT SOME MORE SIN ON MY BURDEN

5. Shadows And Cancer

I CAN NOT STAY HERE FOR LONG
IT'S SO BRIGHT IT HURTS MY EYES
THE DAMAGE IT'S DONE TO MY BRAIN
AND I ONLY LIVED FOR THE TASTE OF HEAVEN
A GLIMPSE OF CLEAR BLUE SKY

NO SANCTITY WAITING FOR ME
NO SAFEWAY OUT OF HERE
SO HARD TO STAY ALIVE
NO GHOULS TO SET ME FREE
NO ANGELS WILL COME DOWN FOR ME

A FEVERED TOUCH OF MY BONY HAND
THE LIFE I'VE LIVED I TRY TO DENY
THE RUSH OF TIME TOOK ME BY SURPRISE
HOW CASUALLY A LIFE PASSES BY

WHEN DREAMS MATERIALIZE
NOBODY WILL HEAR ME SAY IT
A DIALOGUE WITH THE DEAF
A ONE-WAY CONVERSATION
IT'S ALL WHAT IT HAS COME TO
THIS IS ALL THAT WE DO

NO SANCTITY WAITING FOR ME
NO SAFEWAY OUT OF HERE
SO HARD TO STAY ALIVE
NO GHOULS TO SET ME FREE
NO ANGELS WILL COME DOWN FOR ME

A FEVERED TOUCH OF MY BONY HAND
THE LIFE I'VE LIVED I TRY TO DENY
THE RUSH OF TIME TOOK ME BY SURPRISE
HOW CASUALLY A LIFE PASSES BY

6. Bring Us Your Infected

CORRODING IS OUR IRON WILL
THIS NATION’S TEARS WEAKENS US
BLOODIED ARE THESE ONCE STRONG HANDS
THE HEARTLESS ACTS AND DREAMS GETTING CRUSHED

DAYLIGHT WON'T SHOW OUR TRUE FACE
GET RID OF A WAR, START A FEW MORE
SACRIFICE IS SUCH A SMALL WORD
FOR WHAT IT TRULY WITHHOLDS

BRING THEM OUT AGAINST THEIR WILL
INFECT THEM ALL AND STAY UNTIL
THEIR BODIES TWITCH AND START TO BLEED
A RUTHLESS ACT FOR NONE TO SEE
BRING THEM OUT AGAINST THEIR WILL
FOOL THEM TO THE TOP OF THE HILL
INFECT THEM ALL AND STAY UNTIL
THERE'S ONLY ONE MORE GRAVE TO FILL

IN A ROARING BLAZE WE GO DOWN
A MARK IN HISTORY WE LIKE TO BELIEVE
TO BE TATTOOED IN THE CHEST OF OUR REINCARNATIONS
NEVER FORGOTTEN IN THIS WHIRLWIND CALLED LIFE

CASTAWAY AND TO BE COLLECTED WHEN WE'RE DEAD AND GONE
SLOW IS THE PROCESS
LIKE LEAVES ROTTING IN THE SUN

BRING THEM OUT AGAINST THEIR WILL
INFECT THEM ALL AND STAY UNTIL
THEIR BODIES TWITCH AND START TO BLEED
A RUTHLESS ACT FOR NONE TO SEE
BRING THEM OUT AGAINST THEIR WILL
FOOL THEM TO THE TOP OF THE HILL
INFECT THEM ALL AND STAY UNTIL
THERE'S ONLY ONE MORE GRAVE TO FILL

WE CAN'T HIDE ANYMORE
OUR FATE IS RIGHT THERE
CAN'T CLOSE OUR EYES NO MORE
GOT TO TAKE A GRIP OF WHAT'S RIGHT HERE

BRING THEM OUT AGAINST THEIR WILL
INFECT THEM ALL AND STAY UNTIL
THEIR BODIES TWITCH AND START TO BLEED
A RUTHLESS ACT FOR NONE TO SEE
BRING THEM OUT AGAINST THEIR WILL
FOOL THEM TO THE TOP OF THE HILL
INFECT THEM ALL AND STAY UNTIL
THERE'S ONLY ONE MORE GRAVE TO FILL

7. The Option And The Poison

A SOURCE OF INSPIRATION
WE'RE A LOST GENERATION
WE GREW FROM LIES INTO THIS
AN ANGRY MOB WITH RAISED FISTS

DEATH OF THOUSANDS
WON'T STOP THE HARVEST OF MANKIND
DEATH OF MILLIONS
WON'T MAKE US BRIGHTER IN OUR MIND
SELFISHNESS IS THE OPTION

WE HOPE THE SUNRISE TO PROVE US WRONG
TRUTH IS REVEALED WITH THE DARKNESS GONE
WE FIGHT AMONGST OURSELVES AND ALONE
STILL SINGING THE SAME OLD SONGS

DEATH OF THOUSANDS
WON'T STOP THE HARVEST OF MANKIND
DEATH OF MILLIONS
WON'T MAKE US BRIGHTER IN OUR MIND
SELFISHNESS IS OUR POISON

TO KEEP US SANE
GIVE US PILLS, GIVE US THRILLS
TO KEEP US STILL
GIVE US GAMES, GIVE US FAME
I WANT TO CHANGE THE CODES AND OUR NAMES
AND THROW AWAY OUR PAST RIGHT INTO THE FLAMES
GIVE US PAIN

A SOURCE OF INSPIRATION
WE'RE A LOST GENERATION
WE GREW FROM LIES INTO THIS
AN ANGRY MOB WITH RAISED FISTS

DEATH OF THOUSANDS
WON'T STOP THE HARVEST OF MANKIND
DEATH OF MILLIONS
WON'T MAKE US BRIGHTER IN OUR MIND
SELFISHNESS IS THE OPTION

DEATH OF THOUSANDS
WON'T STOP THE HARVEST OF MANKIND
DEATH OF MILLIONS
WON'T MAKE US BRIGHTER IN OUR MIND
SELFISHNESS IS OUR POISON

TO KEEP US SANE
GIVE US PILLS, GIVE US THRILLS
TO KEEP US STILL
GIVE US GAMES, GIVE US FAME
I WANT TO CHANGE THE CODES AND OUR NAMES
AND THROW AWAY OUR PAST RIGHT INTO THE FLAMES
GIVE US PAIN

8. Sealed With A Fist

I CAN NOT BEAR THIS FAKING ANYMORE
SO DAMN FULL OF YOURSELVES
IGNORANCE HAS DRAGGED US DOWN ONCE AGAIN
MY CLENCHED FIST IS ALL I’LL EVER NEED

NO I WON’T STAND THE BEATING ANYMORE
THIS WILL ALL BE USELESS
WHEN WE FALL TO THE FLOOR
MY SOUL FIGHTS TO BREAK ITSELF FREE
SCREAMING OUT THE HATE
JUST TO MAKE YOU SEE

NO MORE IT’S ALL WASHED OUT
TRUTH KNOCKS YOU DOWN
AND THE SPINE WILL CRACK
NO MORE
IT’S ALL WASHED OUT
AND IT’S ALL GONE
TRUTH KNOCKS YOU DOWN
AND THE SPINE WILL CRACK
SEALED WITH A FIST

YOU SAY IT’S LIVING
BUT I WON’T BACK DOWN
I’LL CHOOSE AN UNKNOWN PATH ON MY OWN
HELD YOUR TRUTH FREE
OF FILTH AND THE LIES
YOUR CALLS HAVE BEEN SILENCED
COMPLETELY REVEALED
NAKED AS A NEWBORN CHILD
THE DEMON GNAWS YOUR INNARDS
THE EMBRACE OF LIFE

NO MORE IT’S ALL WASHED OUT
TRUTH KNOCKS YOU DOWN
AND THE SPINE WILL CRACK
NO MORE
IT’S ALL WASHED OUT
AND IT’S ALL GONE
TRUTH KNOCKS YOU DOWN
AND THE SPINE WILL CRACK
SEALED WITH A FIST

9. I've Only Got Knives For You

SEEING DESERTS IN ALL YOUR EYES
I SAW HATE INSIDE
THE RABID DOGS
YOU’RE ACTING LIKE

WE KNOW JUST HOW IT ALL ENDS
STILL WE WON’T CHANGE A THING

NO MORE MEMORIES
WE TRAVEL ON
WE GOT FOOLED AGAIN
IN ALL THE SAME WAYS
GOOD TIMES ARE GONE

WE KNOW JUST HOW IT ALL ENDS
STILL WE WON’T CHANGE A THING

I’VE ONLY GOT KNIVES FOR YOU
I’LL SHOW NO REMORSE
I’VE ONLY GOT HATE TOWARDS YOU
I’VE ONLY GOT KNIVES FOR YOU
I’LL SHOW NO REMORSE
I’VE ONLY GOT HATE TOWARDS YOU

SEEING THROUGH THOSE LIES
IT’S CLEARER NOW
I BLED ON YOUR SIDE
UNTIL THE END
NOT WORTH A THING

I’VE ONLY GOT KNIVES FOR YOU
I’LL SHOW NO REMORSE
I’VE ONLY GOT HATE TOWARDS YOU
I’VE ONLY GOT KNIVES FOR YOU
I’LL SHOW NO REMORSE
I’VE ONLY GOT HATE TOWARDS YOU
