Stop! Before It's Too Late And We've Destroyed It All

I live
I stalk
I hunt
I eat
With indifference for all
I walk
I kill
I sleep
I breed
Slowly taking control
The sickest part of our species
Ravenous to evolve
We spread like a fucking disease
No vaccine protocol

And at the end of days
This will be our legacy

[Refrain:]
We
Kill, kill
Multiply
Until the skies are black
And the rivers dry
Take, take
Take our time
We leave no one else behind
Kill, kill
And deny
Until the skies are black
And the rivers dry
Take, take
We take our time
We leave nothing else behind

I don't
Feel anything
At all
As rats gnaw at my bones
I'm not
Made of the
Same things at all
A mechanical heart
The sickest part of our species
Ravenous to evolve
We spread like a fucking disease
No vaccine protocol

And at the end of days
This will be our legacy

[Refrain]

You cannot stop what never ends [2x]
You cannot stop what never ends [2x]

And at the end of days
This will be our legacy

[Refrain]

Bleeding Is A Luxury

Ive talked the talk, I've walked the walk,
It's taken ten fucking years,
For them to see I don't need their approval.
I've paid the piper,
I've stayed my course,
Lived chomping at the bit.
With only blood, sweat, and tears to adhere to-

[Refrain:]
Open your eyes and see,
That it's so menacing,
You need to realize that bleeding is a luxury.
Give 'til there's nothing left,
Value in every breath,
You need to realize that bleeding is a luxury.

Take it for granted,
Forsake the costs,
Wear a big, shit-eating grin
(with only blood, sweat, and tears to adhere to)
Now bear the burden to chase your fate
Grind your teeth 'til it fucking hurts
So they can see I don't need their approval.

[Refrain]

Seize the day,
Take your beatings,
Lead the way,
Or decay as you fall down...
You fall down.

[Refrain]

It's a luxury,
Bleeding is a luxury!

Congregation Of The Damned

I'm gonna give this monster life
I may not have the pieces
I'll keep on going through the night
To see you are left screaming

Face to face
The congregation of the damned
Face to face
Screaming while we can

I get carried away
Lost in a moment
Torn into pieces
A violent display
I'm carried away
Lost in a moment
Searching for answers
I'm lost in the fray

This life's a case of do or die
Sometimes I need no reason
To lose myself in you tonight
Right now's the time to season

Face to face
The congregation of the damned
Face to face
Screaming while we can

I get carried away
Lost in a moment
Torn into pieces
A violent display
I'm carried away
Lost in a moment
Searching for answers
I'm lost in the fray

The congregation of the damned
The congregation of the damned

Face to face
The congregation of the damned
Face to face
We're all screaming while we can

I get carried away
Lost in a moment
Torn into pieces
A violent display
I'm carried away
Lost in a moment
Searching for answers
I'm lost in the fray

I'm carried away
Lost in a moment
Searching for answers
I'm lost in the fray

I get carried away
Lost in a moment
Torn into pieces
A violent display
I'mcarried away
Lost in a moment
Searching for answers
I'm lost in the fray

Coffin Nails

Don't give a shit about it
Curl up, I start to doubt this
Something has died in me today (smell the decay)
I need some air around me
Claw walls until my nails bleed
Don't seal my coffin shut today

Coffin nails
So hard to pull
How can I break free ?!

[Refrain:]
From the ties that hold you down (break free)
From the grips of loneliness (break free)
There's something missing in my life that I'm running after (break free)
Never meant to be hold down (break free)
All I need is home right now (break free)
There's something missing in my life that I'm running after.

Self doubt breaks down my resolve
It cripples a part of my soul
And masterfully I'll hide my pain (smell the decay)
Dead eyes and a hollow smile
Pitch black, my vision is gone
And masterfully I'll hide my pain.

Coffin nails
So hard to pull
How can I break free ?!

[Refrain]

These coffin nails
Are keeping me from the only thing I love
This monster is holding me
How will I break free ?

From the ties that hold you down (break free)
From the grips of loneliness (break free)
There's something missing in my life that I'm running after (break free)
Never meant to be hold down (break free)
All I need is home right now (break free)
There's something missing in my life that I'm running after.

Black Days Begin

We're all hell bent on destruction
Trying to erase black spots on our souls
Hide from a violent eruption
Cataclysmic engulfing us all.

Lay down (lay down)
Tonight (tonight)
In front of the things
That conquer us all.

Your body, it taunts me
Your flesh is, oh so haunting.

[Refrain:]
Children of the night.
Throw your hands up in the air.
We all know we've lost the fight.
Hope dies out and we can see the end.
Black days begin.

Walk down this path of temptation
Deny the flesh ignore whats crawling below.

Stay true (stay true)
Stay cold (stay cold)
In front of the things
That conquer us all!

Your body, it taunts me
Your flesh is, oh so haunting.

[Refrain]

[Solos]

Your body, it taunts me
Your flesh is, oh so haunting.

[Refrain 2x]

Gallows

This life starts
with a heartbeat,
is it beat, beat, beat, beat, beating, me down,
like the loser I am ?

I can't help
but to see
that success scares
the living shit out of me,
like the loser I am.

Everytime I walk away;
Every word I never say.

[Refrain:]
Restless
Chasing shadows
Choices
Facing Gallows
or,
Are you hanging by a thread,
Or swinging from the rope ?
Don't think we don't see your scars
Are you afraid of who you are ?

Are you afraid of who you are! ?

Denial what subtle burn,
Is it burn, burn, burn, burn, burning me out,
Or feeding the flames ?

Spread out the ash
Pretend to see
That you can
Still find some value in me;
Or is it feeding the flames ?

Everytime I walk away;
Every word I never say.

[Refrain]

Oh my god,
What am I afraid of
Success or not having what it takes ?

Oh my god,
I afraid of me
And everything that brings.

[Refrain]

Afraid of who you are ?
Are you afraid of who you are ?!

Storm To Pass

Razor wire
Gift wraps the things we've done
Afterthoughts
Of past storms weathered before

Oh, no! Oh, no!
I watch the clouds roll in
Oh, no! Oh, no!
It's happening again

[Refrain:]
I'll be watching, waiting
Dreadful, shaking
Will the storm pass over us today ?
Will lighting strike our sins away ?
Watching
Waiting
Falling
Shaking
Will the storm pass over us today ?
Or is the future looking grey ?

Aftermath
Much worse then it was before
Battle scars
Some are seen and some are not

Oh, no! Oh, no!
I watch the clouds roll in
Oh, no! Oh, no!
It's happening again

[Refrain]

You can't hide from thunder
And I never thought
We'd turn out this way, yeah!
You can't hide from thunder

[Solos]

Watching, waiting
Dreadful, shaking
Will the storm pass over us today ?
Will lighting strike our sins away ?
Watching, Waiting
Falling, Shaking
Will the storm pass over us today ?
Or is the future looking grey ?

Hey!
Hey!

You Were King Now You're Unconscious

There is no light in sight
Only a tunnel of pain
Only your legs will carry you
Carry you to the end!

Live your life for yourself
Or live for the struggle at best

Just don't let it strangle you
Just don't let it strangle you!

And after all this
No one will carry you home

And without a thought
You let your guard fall to the ground
Thought you were the king
But now it's gone

Taste the air as you pull it in your lungs
Try to savior it for one more song

The thick of the battle
A metaphor for this life
You never see it hit you
Until it smashes you in the face!

You try as best as you can
And I knock you down again

Just don't let it strangle you
Just don't let it strangle you!

And after all this
No one will carry you home

And without a thought
You let your guard fall to the ground
Thought you were the king

But now it's gone
Taste the air as you pull it in your lungs
Try to savior it for one more song

Get up!
Get up now
Get up right now!
I scream to myself

Get up!
Get up now
Get up right now!
I scream at myself

And after all this
No one will carry you home

And without a thought
You let your guard fall to the ground
Thought you were the king

But now it's gone
Taste the air as you pull it in your lungs
Try to savior it for one more song

Insatiable

Can't check myself at all
Break my fist on the fucking wall
Because raw instinct is all I know
And it suits me just fine

Convince myself that my
Actions aren't received as spite
Then passionately is how I'll go
And it suits me just fine

When I have everything I want
Will I be good enough ?
But I can't have everything
Cause nothing's good enough
I'm insatiable
And I hunt down my dreams
It's the only thing I know

Suddenly anger cripples
Colours red everything around me
Sometimes we hurt the ones that we love
And it kills me inside
Then I will pay a price, you see ?
The cost is overbearing
The price I pay could be undreamed of
And it fills me inside

When I have everything I want
Will I be good enough ?
But I can't have everything
Cause nothing's good enough
I'm insatiable
And I hunt down my dreams
It's the only thing I know
I'm insatiable
Don't look down on me
I can bear this burden alone
This constant dart craving
Ripping apart my soul

Cause nothing's good enough
I'm insatiable
And I hunt down my dreams
It's the only thing I know
I'm insatiable
Don't look down on me
I can bear this burden alone
This constant dart craving
Ripping apart my soul
I'm insatiable

So Wrong

Used to be, I could make the pieces fit
Break the edges, force fit all of this
How could I ever be so wrong ?
At our base, we are doomed once we begin
Kinda makes you wonder, "What's the sense ?"
How could I ever be so wrong ?

And I know that
Fate keeps loathing

[Refrain:]
I can't help (but go back to it)
A flame still burns (at the back of it)
And although (there is a lack of it)
I wont forget how...

Simply put, what's done is dead and gone
Can't forget, not for very long
There is no pride involved in love.
You can't manufacture happiness
Try forever, you would be remissed
There is no pride involved in love,
No pride involved.

And all that I know is that
I know nothing

[Refrain]

You made me feel alive
But nothing lasts forever
Yet something deep inside
It takes me home again

[Refrain]

You made me feel alive
But nothing lasts forever
Yet something deep inside
It takes me home again

And all that I know is that
I know nothing
All that I know is
I know nothing

Ravenous

All hail
The tip of the spear
The misguided, unyielding force
Unleashed abroad a foreign nightmare of pain
Is this what we want for ourselves ?

Creep, crawl
Under your sheets
Cheat it's way through the back door
Unaffected till we are affected
Then we push for war
Then we push for war
Then we push for war

[Refrain:]
Ravenous and racing forward
Never looking back
We've killed more than we need

Knives out
We bare our teeth
Strength and pain are what rules the world
End of days and we're racing to red lights
Does that make sense to anyone else ?

Deny any wrong doing
Pass the buck and then fake some more blame
Lie's a circle then we all reap the whirlwind
Then we push for war
Then we push for war
Then we push for war

[Refrain]

Gluttonous we feed on power
Never looking back
We've killed more than we need

What goes around
Comes around
And around and around and
Hateful young men
Turn to old hateful men
What goes around
Comes around
And around and around and
Hateful young men
Turn to old dead men

[Refrain]

Gluttonous we feed on power
Never looking back
We've killed more than we need
We've killed more than we need

Lonely

To unafraid of what's to come
I hit the ground and run
Not sure what's coming next
And never looking back

Hollow nights to empty days
Something had to change
Before it gets too late and there's no turning back

One by one we fit and then we fall
One by one we fit and then we fall

[Refrain:]
Lonely, is this what we've become ?
So lonely, fragile and unloved
Lost inside ourselves and blindly staring at the sun
So lonely, is this what we've become ?

Line them up they fall
Something to live for
Not sure who's coming next
But never looking back

I want something more
Something to live for
Before it gets too late and there's no turning back

One by one we fit and then we fall
One by one we fit and then we fall

[Refrain]

One by one we fit and then we fall
One by one we fit and then we fall

[Refrain x2]

Wait For You

It started with a kiss and turned out something else.
The blood coursing through my veins I think of no one else
I never believed in much but I believe in this.
I'm incomplete without you, I'd kill to taste your kiss.

I'm lost and lonely,
Scared and hiding.
Blind without you.

[Refrain:]
When the the world comes crashing down and the skies begin to fall,
I'll wait for you
When the days grow old and long and my skins turns into stone,
I'll wait for you
When the pain it seems too much and my heart starts beating out of touch I don't need a thing,
I'll wait for you

It's all so different now, emotions burn me out.
I have a lifeless touch, this distance leaves no doubt.
I fear it all too much but part of me believes.
As the years pass away you made me recognize,

I'm lost and lonely,
Scared and hiding.
Blind without you.

[Refrain]

Yeah...
'cause I'll wait for you...

When the the world comes crashing down and the skies begin to fall,
I'll wait for you
When the days grow old and long and my skins turns into stone,
I'll wait for you
When the pain it seems too much and my heart starts beating out of touch I don't need a thing.
I know I don't need a thing.
I'll wait for you.

Bravery

Torture myself!
Yet I've never seemed so brave!
Remind myself!
What it takes to keep us safe!
And love forces!
Conspiring to, destroy you and me!
And my sacrifice is that aren't me!

[Refrain:]
My heart is broken, ripped open.
I can't shield my eyes from the truth.
My heart was broken, stitched shut again.
By those who beat for me and you.

Deny yourself!
The huge cause of this marching!
Engorge yourself!
And decide our casualties!
And love forces!
Conspiring to, destroy you and me!
And my sacrifice is that are me!

[Refrain]

Beautify,
The images from my mind!
But the memory stays behind!
Cut our eyes!
That no more in my life!
The memory comes back to life!

[Refrain]

For me and you!
For me and you...
For me and you!
For me and you!

We Are The Living Dead

Look up!
I can't !
To find whats killing you
Dig in!
Stand on!
Embrace what's inside you
Prepare for war and,
The battle is easy!
So simple and so true!

So much war!
This smoking buries us deeply!
Regret our days, when it's time to shine!

[Refrain:]
Roaming the night
Stalking our prey
We will take our time
We are the living dead!
Does this despite ?
Forming the hatred into the night
We are the living dead!

And now it's time!

[Refrain x2]

How far will our vengeance take us ?
To our own demise...
How far will our vengeance take us ?

Bloodlust!
Bloodlust!
Bloodlust!
Bloodlust!

[Refrain]

We are the living dead!

Another Night (Wishing I Wasn't Here)

Alone! Empty, and searching again
I don't see any other way...
The brave! Hollow, and brake again
I don't feel anything but pain...

I dream of numbness
To ease the pain
I beg for sleep
To take.. to take me away!

Another night
Another empty avenue
Is waiting for you
And calling me
Another night
Another empty boulevard
Is waiting for you
And calling me

Desperate, clear
Quiet thin air
I feel that this is all in vain...
Beating for change
Empty, Cold, Stir

I dream of numbness
To ease the pain
I beg for sleep
To take, to take me away

Another night
Another empty avenue
Is waiting for you
And calling me
Another night
Another empty boulevard
Is waiting for you
And calling me

Lift, More
Lift, More, Bear
Lift, More, Bear, Sleep
To keep me up at night

[Whispering:]
I dream of numbness...
To ease the pain...
I beg for sleep...
Take me away...

Another night
Another empty avenue
Is waiting for you
And calling me
Another night
Another empty boulevard
Is waiting for you
And calling me

Calling me
It's calling me
Calling me
It's calling me
