Walk With Me In Hell
Pray for blood
Pray for the cleansing
Pray for the flood
Pray for the end of this nightmare
This lie of a life can as quickly as it came dissolve
We seek only reprive
And welcome the darkness
The myth of our being so lost and forgotten
Take hold of my hand
For you are no longer alone
Walk with me in Hell
Pray for solace
Pray for resolve
Pray for a savior
Pray for deliverance some kind of purpose
A glimpse of a light in this void of existance
Now witness the end of an age
Hope dies in the hands of believers
Who seek the truth in the liars hands
Take hold of my hand
For you are no longer alone
Walk with me in hell
Walk with me in hell
You're never alone
Again We Rise
Store-bought attitude and spit,
a sugar-coated piece of shit.
An instant rebel, just add greed.
Another useless commodity.
Broken glass and a broken jaw,
lies are told in a southern drawl.
Poor-house poverty's your schtick,
the real thing would kill you quick.
Rise, again we will rise.(2X)
Blood and fire used to fill the night,
burnt and drowned by our very lives.
You missed a sinking boat by years,
dollar signs, crocodile tears.
Another name crossed off the list,
the real thing would kill you quick.
Rise, again we will rise.(2X)
There's nothing for you to fight against,
you're so unreal it's evident.
You'll never be one of our kind,
this ain't yours, fuck you don't try.
The bridge was burnt before you could cross,
you reap the benefits of what's lost.
Go home son, hang your costume up,
a goddamn insult to the rest of us.
A thousand-yard stare across the south,
a full belly and a lying mouth.
Momma's boy plays heretic,
The real thing would kill you quick.
Rise, again we will rise.(2X)
There's nothing for you to fight against,
you're so unreal it's evident.
You'll never be one of our kind,
this ain't yours, fuck you don't try.
Fuck you, don't even try.
Fuck you, your time is nigh.
Fuck you, I've had enough.
Fuck you, your time is up.
Redneck
So God damn easy to write this
You make it spill on the page
So drunk on yourself, self-righteous
The laughing stock of your own fucking stage
But I ain't one to call names
Or throw stones in a house of glass
You try me
This is a motherfucking invitation
The only one you could ever need
This is a motherfucking invitation
You try me
Just one time, you got a reason
Heard you had nothing to lose
A blind preacher for the pin-eyed congregation
It must be easy to lose
But I ain't one to call names
Or throw stones in a house of glass
You try me
This is a motherfucking invitation
The only one you could ever need
This is a motherfucking invitation
You try me
You can tell the same lie a thousand times
But it never gets any more true
So close your eyes once more and once more believe
That they all still believe in you, just one time
This is a motherfucking invitation
The only one you could ever need
This is a motherfucking invitation
Just one time
This is a motherfucking invitation
You try me
Just one time, you try me
Just one time, you try me
You try me
Pathetic
Somewhere between an excuse and a lie
You found something that you believe
So proud, I guess i can imagine why..
three cheers for what we used to be
Pathetic
Wasted
SOULESS
COMPROMISED
Sleep-walking the minefield
Shit talking, it crumbles around you
it comes back around
Somewhere between illusion and denial
You drown in your own simpathy
Profound, at least you thought so at the time
a ghost of who you used to be
Pathetic
Wasted
SOULESS
COMPROMISED
Pathetic
Wasted
SOULESS
COMPROMISED
Sleep-walking the minefield
Shit talking, it crumbles around you
it comes back around
it comes back around
Sleep-walking the minefield
Shit talking, it crumbles around you
it comes back around
Pathetic
Wasted
SOULESS
COMPROMISED (x8)
Foot To The Throat
Virginia death threat, Virginia creeper vine.
The hands that feed intent, choke the purpose of this time.
Take all that you can give, and i will make it mine
No care for what you've spent, even fool's gold has it's shine
Never held down, never restrained.
Virtue's foot to the throat,
Free of broken chains.
Thus always to tyrants,
Laugh at the conquered, the victims now betray.
And in this Commonwealth,
There's merely a common concern for self.
We hold these lies to be self-evident,
As the dividends will reflect.
And in this Commonwealth,
There's merely a common concern for self.
The coffers have long run dry
Never held down, never restrained.
Virtue's foot to the throat,
free of broken chains.
Thus always to tyrants,
Laugh at the conquered, the victims now betray.
Like a bull in a China shop,
But the shelves have all been cleared.
A thief in an empty vault,
The sheep already sheared
A screen door on a submarine,
An eagle with a broken wing,
Hope in a dead man's dream,
The sound of a bell
That will never ring
You're just wasting time
Descending
The River I'm bound to be found in,
A rope chosen bound for the hang.
When I'm blind and I think I see everything,
Convincing myself again.
This god that I worship (a faded reflection).
This demon I blame (a flickering flame).
Conspire as one, exactly the same.
It's exactly the same
Descending,
To never recover the peices
To all that we've lost.
Recover the peices lost.
The peices to all we've lost.
I shudder to think of the consequece,
It's blasphemy simple and true.
The tragic protagonist torments,
Convincing myself again
This god that I worship (a faded reflection).
This demon I blame (a flickering flame).
Conspire as one, exactly the same.
It's exactly the same
Descending,
To never recover the peices
To all that we've lost.
Recover the peices lost.
The peices to all we've lost.
Blacken The Cursed Sun
Seize a darkened day,
There's only hell to pay,
And no one left to see this prodigal return.
Sweet apathy's my toll.
You mourn the draining soul.
I'll dig a deeper hole.
Sanctity, a breath away.
Just a breath away.
Blacken the cursed sun.
You're not the only one,
To have sunk so far and low.
There is no tomorrow.
A tragedy on display,
A sickness for all to see.
I will kill this part of myself that I hate and that I see in you.
It was always mine, anyway.
There's something you can't take away.
I choose not to feel a thing.
Sanctity, a breath away.
Just a breath away.
Away.
Just a breath away.
Blacken the cursed sun.
You're not the only one,
To have sunk so far and low.
There is no tomorrow.
Blacken the cursed sun.
Blacken watching it be done.
Blacken, become now you know,
There is no tomorrow.
(whispering)Is there still hope for us?
Can we still be saved?
Does your God hold a place for us?
Is there time to repent?
Will we rise from the dead?
Can these sins even be forgiven?
Is there still hope for us?
Were we ever even alive?
Is any of this even real?
You're just a breath away.
You're just a breath away.
Better to die quick,
Fighting on your fate.
Then to live forever,
Begging on your knees.
No.
Can we still be saved?
Hell no!
Does your God hold a place for us?
Hell no!
Is there time to repent?
Hell no!
Will we rise from the dead?
Hell no!
Can these sins even be forgiven?
Hell no!
Is there still hope for us?
Hell no!
Were we ever even alive?
Hell no!
Is any of this even real?
Hell no!
Hell no!
Forgotten (Lost Angels)
This is a mean and cold town,
I hate this fucking place.
Watch the rats as they all drown,
Dying slowly day by day.
Decrepit and falling down,
Cesspool of human waste.
Swallow profit in deep,
Now in death you'll finally know the taste.
There are no souls left here to save.
Forgotten, lost angels, long disgraced.
You fucking hypocrite,
But hooks in lips they do not lie.
Compassion served not on your plate,
How many of them have you watched die?
I can't sing you a happy song,
i can't write you a sing-a-long,
The only catchy hook i've got,
Is the one in my bleeding gut.
Burn it down
There are no souls left here to save.
Forgotten, lost angels, long disgraced.
Dead stares, dead eyes,
Choked hopes and vacant minds,
Blank words, blank lives,
The end result of endless lies.
There's no angels here,
To get lost in the first place
Jackhammer a fault line,
Pray for earthquakes.
Mulhollands's on fire,
And my cig started it.
'92 should have burnt this fucker down,
We're here to finish it.
I'm not impressed by much here,
Much less what you have to say.
Don't give a fuck who you know,
i just want to leave this hellhole
Know that you mean nothing to me,
Nor the lies that seep from your teeth.
Won't piss on you if you're on fire,
One more self-important liar.
Burn it down.
Requiem
Down, chemical sacrament,
Blasphemous prayer.
Deliver me from this
so serene apocalypse
Just make me fucking numb,
Deaf, blind and fucking dumb.
Return to sacred sleep.
This could be my requiem,
And I'll feel no pain.
This could be my requiem,
But don't bury me too deep.
Drain infected brine,
Sickened cesspool shell of mine.
Strap up the hands of time,
And push the soul into the vein
Just make me fucking numb,
Deaf, blind and fucking dumb.
Return to sacred sleep.
This could be my requiem,
And I'll feel no pain.
This could be my requiem,
But don't bury me too deep.
Sink, suffer, self destruct.
Rise, stronger, reconstruct.
Dispose, discard, deny.
And I will feel no pain.
More Time To Kill
I just got the news today you were dying,
Hot Damn! We're already partying.
But please, Before you have to leave,
Let me tell you a last few things.
Suffer, unto me
Indulge, my every need.
I don't want to meet you halfway
I've always despised that fucking place,
Suffer, unto me
Indulge, my every need.
I'm not offering you my way
I'm kicking you down the fucking highway.
Get one thing straight from the get go,
I truly don't give a fuck about you
I never have and I never will,
each day you breathe is more time to kill.
Fuck Your World Up
(God Damn)
Your last breath,
I'll take it now (x2)
Your last breath,
I'll rip it away
And haunt your dreams in your final sleep
Get one thing straight from the get go,
I truly don't give a fuck about you
I never have and I never will,
each day you breathe is more time to kill
I never have and I never will
Beating On Death's Door
She's a slack one, born of greed.
Speaking endless words, long and empty.
A begger who still wants to choose,
A deththroned queen still demands her due.
If you want something for nothing you take what you get,
A virgin whore in a dirty wedding dress.
Scream for salvation, beating on death's door.
But just be careful what you wish for.
There's a blood stain on the ceiling,
But you're the only duck in the shooting gallery.
Trying to look out a bricked-in window,
Your destiny lies in the alley below.
Trying to see yourself in a shattered mirror,
When all else fails, she holds you with broken arms.
There's poison in her veins, but the bitch comes for free,
A quick fix for all that you think that you need.
Scream for salvation, beating on death's door.
But just be careful what you wish for.
The patron saint of fools answers all your request,
She's all yours now, so deal with it.
Shes all yours now, shes all yours,
You whore, deal with it
There's no shoulder left to cry wolf on,
You're tied in knots that can't be undone.
No more warnings will fall on deaf ears,
You lied too many times now no one cares.
No one cares.
An empty promise with a heart of tin,
Her crooked smile beguiles and it draws you within.
The hope for something more, all that you wish for,
A kick to the head and a boot to the door.
Chasing a dragon in a ladies clothes,
A paper trail ends in choking smoke.
But you know you lit the match yourself,
Play the burning cards that you dealt
Scream for salvation, beating on death's door.
But just be careful what you wish for.
The patron saint of fools answers all your request,
She's all yours now, so deal with it.
Broken.
