THOSE LEFT BEHIND LYRICS

1. Torn To Shreds

I was crawling through bloodstained soil
knee deep in desperate mire
the sparks of life smothered with tears
they said I spent to much time in the darkness

Paralyzed by unlimited despair
condemned to the left hand path
faithless and lost in the shadows
profound, just like the underground

Antagonistic apotheosis
torn to shreds and entombed
I was released from nihilistic ideals
as the sentiments of life was revived and exhumed

2. Faith Moves Nothing

So sad to say I told you so
so sad to see you didn't evolve

Faith – moves – nothing
Faith – moves – fucking – nothing

A wise man once said; your god is dead
I pity your intrinsical strife
your denial of life...

Faith – moves – fucking – nothing

3. Residing In A Pile Of Maggots

I've been cursed since I was torn out of the womb
dead but dreaming from the day I was entombed
mangled by the hollow void, my soul was ripped to shreds
dying for a corpse to love, six feet beneath with the living dead

Decomposing lovers grinning blessed from the grave
rotten middle fingers waiving as the skin concave
reeking of decay as we unite with fertile dirt
fervent corpses ripe to be eternally overt
the human flesh consumed
residing in a pile of maggots safe inside our tomb

I carved your name in wood, locked up in that hearse
now we've fled the graves agone, never again to be dispersed
hand in hand ever since the day we were exhumed
rotting side by side deep inside our tomb

4. A Corpse Submerged In Bloody Water

Bonds formed by predominant neuropeptides
in the mesolimbic dopaminergic pathway
intense social attachment
defined in terms of romantic love

Euphoric emotional processing
the limbic system rejoices
from reinforced rewards

To stimulate the nucleus accumbens
to feed the prefrontal cortex
activated dopamine receptors
soaked in oxytocin and arginine vasopressin

Euphoric emotional processing
the limbic system rejoices
from reinforced rewards

The continuous pursuit of gratification
priming for copulation
addiction based on circuitry
the neuroanatomy of our intimacy

Euphoric emotional processing
the limbic system rejoices

Let's change the metaphor...

Devoured by her consuming eyes
mutilated by the crimson tide
a decomposing carcass
a corpse submerged in bloody water

5. Ballista

I toiled through mental wastelands
with a vow to avenge
restitution through carnage
on a quest to quench the pain

Lock and load
I proposed a new beginning
we rejoiced in sworn allegiance
we wallowed in the resurrection of hope

The intent was to demolish
to trace a death refined
I shot for extinction
and aimed to leave nothing behind

Lock and load
I proposed a new beginning
we rejoiced in sworn allegiance
we wallowed in the resurrection of hope

Violence and mass destruction
all hail the violent reconstruction
the rotten stench of human debris
distinctive trails of postwar casualties

Lock and load
I proposed a new beginning
we rejoiced in sworn allegiance
we wallowed in the resurrection of hope

Content at last, residing on bloodstained ground
and as the vapour falls and in the aftermath of combat
I close my eyes...and I dream...and I remember...

6. Our Hamlet; The Catacombs

«...and suddenly I beheld the Heavens unfold,
I blossomed, amazed, flickering, just like a phoenix...»

I arose like a phoenix from ruins
delivered from the pain of the earth
mending the grave repulsion
resurrected from void to walk among stars

Her skin makes me feel so serene
as if divinity intervened...

In the asylum at the gates to the beyond
seeking sanctuary from oblivion
a refuge from the storms
in our Hamlet, within the catacombs
