WITHIN THE RUINS LYRICS

1. Designing Oblivion

[Instrumental]

2. Versus

If God is real than he's an evil motherfucker
He's watching his greatest creation
die before his eyes, dead before his eyes.
There is a war outside, so wake up!

If God is real he's probably kicking back
enjoying the show.
As his greatest creation cries before his eyes,
cry because he lied.

Here I am with arms wide open.
I'm calling you out!
Show yourself, I'm calling you out.
Show yourself, I'm calling.
I'm calling you out.

If God is real than he's an evil motherfucker
he's watching his greatest creation
die before his eyes, dead before his eyes.

Fuck your mysterious ways
Fuck your "gift" of free will.

This is me versus him.
This is me in my finest hour.
I'm calling you out.

This is me versus him.
This is me in my finest hour.
I'm fucking calling him out.

With him you are godless.
With him you are fucking hopeless.
(Fucking hopeless)

This is me versus him.
This is me in my finest hour.
This is me calling him
calling him, calling him.

3. Behold The Harlot

I see the river of lies
you hide under that stone cold surface
proudly, shrouding yourself.
Your malicious intent was masked
with a pleasant smile, vicious beauty
and an aura to match.
The perfect recipe for any fool's demise,
demise, any fool's demise.

Yes I miss the caress of her tender skin
and demon eyes.
I breathe no more
Yes I miss the caress of her tender skin
and demon eyes.
I need no more

Like a virus with no agenda
an addiction with no reprisal.
What a tangled web you weave.
Give as much as you take,
but the taking has just begun.

Knowing this all good and well
I can't stay away
'cause I can still smell you
on my fingers.
I still see your face when I close my eyes.
Your face.

Lust has turned into obsession
and I want out.

4. Red Flagged

War screamed from your mouth
as we sat and watched patiently
while madness began taking over.
This was a red flag screaming
we were cast out and ignored,
and then the bullets began streaming.

I can lift my hand and make it all new again.
I can speak one word and you will never hear again.
I send plagues of weapons to eliminate your kind.
But we never asked, we never asked for this.

We do not fear what you have done,
we fear what you have become.
We do not fear what you have done,
we fear what you have become.

Try to save.....yourselves.

When it rains, it will pour
dissolve all, all of our reckoning.
When it rains, it will pour
dissolve all, all of our reckoning.
Reckoning.

A spark of deviance
will shatter any glimmer of hope
and all will become submissive,
you will become submissive.

This is what we feared,
I'll be your architect of doom.
This is what we feared,
I'll be your architect of doom.

5. Invade

Digging through trenches still
but our work is not done yet.
Forcing ourselves
through all who oppose.
We are not afraid to get our hands dirty,
not afraid because we were always filthy.
Knee deep in what we love,
but our work is not done yet.
We've got a job to do.

Never turn your back on us.
We stand tall, we stand firm.
Now it's time to hit them where it hurts.
Walk towards us
and stand in our shadow.
Walk towards us
and be the ones that follow.
We've gotten our hands dirty
and we wont stop now.
We've gotten our hands dirty
and we wont stop now.

To think that we would stop
you must have lost
your fucking mind.
We are continuous,
We are never-ending.

We'll give you something to believe in
let us be your breath of fresh air.
Now breathe us in.
We are bringing life into something stagnant.

You lost your fucking mind.

We will stand aside,
one by one
watch you die.
We (we will) will stand aside,
one by one
watch you die.

6. Ataxia

[Instrumental]

7. Cross Buster

I'm getting something off my chest,
see I never liked your religion organized.
I've learned to keep my mouth shut,
I've learned to hold my tongue,
but this has gone way too far.
How can you preach unity
while practicing segregation?

He's never coming
no resurrections.
He's never coming
because he did not exist.
I believe what I believe
so don't force your faith on me.

We're in this world together
saints or sinners,
it makes no difference.
I'm free to speak my mind
because nothing is sacred.
You add to our decline
while holding the hand of God.
You add to our decline
while holding the hand of God.

Faith is just a crutch to lean on
so fear what you don't know.
You're just blinding yourself
with false security.
Living a life of lies,
I hope you take offense to this!
You have passed judgment on me,
Now I'm judging you.

8. Feast Or Famine

In a dying world
it's feast or famine, breathe deep
and take your pick.
Don't act like there's an option
you'll be the one who fades quick.
Watch the sky swallow the sun
one more time
and take in the night's empty serenity.

No plan of action, no grand schemes.
No sanctuary, no hope for change.
Having tasted a better life, puts me...

At the bottom for so long,
gazing at the opening above me.
I see a hope for change, I see a hope for more.
Just sacrifice for survival.

Life is what you make it!
What you make it.
No holding back

Today I feast on this spoiled world
as the rest famine.
As the rest famine below me
as the rest
famine.

9. Oath

A wise man once told me
I reminded him of himself
when he was young.
He saw the respect in my eyes and said
"Stop at nothing and I will see you again one day".

I have stood where you are standing
I have thought what you are thinking.
Now I stand before you
sharing my story.
There is nothing wrong
with chasing a dream
There is nothing wrong
with chasing your dream.

These words might be simple,
but they will change your life.
You will gain everything
and regret nothing.
Regret nothing.
Remember how you got here
something no one can take from you.
Experiences to last a life time,
and no one can take them from you.
Take them from you.

Just live and don't look back,
if it seems that you have failed
dust yourself off
and wipe the sweat from your head.

Set the stage.
Scrape my bones from the pavement.
Light the fuse and run.
We're all in danger
The clock is ticking and our time will soon expire.
This road can kill you but its worth every mile.
I'm never leaving here.
I'm never coming home.

10. The Carouser

Woke up this morning and decided
today wasn't good enough.
So tonight I'm drinking
for all the wrong reasons,
destruction at it's best.

As I point the bottle to the sky,
I find what I've been looking for this whole time.
As I point the bottle to the sky,
I find what I've been looking for this whole time.

I've really brought the best out in me,
or so I thought....
As I remember why today wasn't good enough.
Good enough.

As I point the bottle to the sky,
I find what I've been looking for my whole life.

All went black in an instant,
the sun poured down on me.
And all I could repeat,
through my throbbing mind.
All I could repeat through my throbbing mind (was)
My eyes have seen better days.

11. Roads
