The Flame That Guides Us Home
Sing now seraph, find the calm within your soul
Bring us closer to the flame that guides us home
Not I
No
So now you're suffering
the fallacy of what you said
When you uncover the depression
from where you've tread
Breathe over the glass you wrote on
Swallow all that you waste your throat on
You wear the make and wave the banner
they made with sin
Revealing every single lie
that you've been breeding within
Wash over the skin you've broken
Think over the tone you spoke in
Pre-chorus:
So lost in your affliction
The solemn comfort of your grave
If you close your eyes
the light can't take it away
So lost in your addiction
The solemn comfort of your grave
If you close your eyes
the light can't take it away
Chorus:
Not I - I won't conform to what I see in you
Not I - I won't surrender what I am
Not I - And even if it was a part of me
Not I - I'll never be that way again
Not I - I won't conform to what I see in you
Not I - I won't surrender what I am
Not I - And even if it was a part of me
Not I - I'll never be that way again
The blind will follow on the path
that you created in vain
No guiding light, but just the shadow
of the dead will remain
Dig open the pain you're hiding
Give your hand to the faith you're fighting
The void you suffer is a curse
forever bleeding inside
Now you embrace the fatal sickness
you should despise
Remember the day you lost that
Where is the shame that will
bring your soul back
Pre-chorus
Chorus
Reach back behind your pride
Pull the thorn from your burning pain in your
side
Sing now seraph, find the calm within your soul
Sing me a new song
A broken song of redemption and regret
Sing me a new song
And beg for all the mercy you can get
Sing me a new song
A broken song of redemption and regret
Sing me a new song
And beg for all the mercy you can get
Chorus
Undying
Ever since the day that I was made I’ve been deciding the end
And I was made of wood and stone that won’t diminish or bend
So when the heavy hand of death is here to take me away
I’ll be the solid grip of time, forever holding my stay
Nobody ever made a force that took a beating like me
I call the earth and every scum to come and try to fight me
Cus when I made the choice to live beyond the dirt that we tread
I felt the curse of mortal limit fall before it was said
Pre-chorus:
When this season ends…
Chorus:
One final heart-break
And blinding lights will guide our way
Free us our blind state
They will call us by our name
Undying
Tearing through these days I find the tolerance to strive and push on
I know what lies beyond this life for me is already won
No one can take away the blood that covers over my fall
Without the blood of perfect life I know I’m nothing at all
So now I reign forever hallowed in eternity’s hand
No man can shake me from the everlasting ground that I stand
Pre-chorus
Chorus
We are the ones who will still remain when all is laid to waste
We are the ones who, when angels cry, will see them face to face
We are the ones
Chorus
Relentless Intolerance
These eyes they will gaze and reflect
And gauge every thought I reject
No sway of stance in changing times
Just a narrow mind commanding respect
We stand on the words of the wise
And languish every call to despise
We know the hollow wound of their lies
Pre-chorus:
No reformed edition
Never losing vision
Now into forever
Only getting better
Ways of now, spiral down
How much more we allow
Chorus:
Keeping sight of the vow we made
Holding fast to the hope
So when we stand in the line of wrath
The true and righteous will know
The foundation that we used to uphold
Now regarded as the madness of old
Every alteration made to the standard of truth
Is a nail in the coffin we hold
We embody everything they despise
Because they see us through degenerate eyes
So when thay cast you down as intolerant filth
Stand firm, never bow to the lies
Pre-chorus
Chorus
See the scorn inside my eyes
Chorus
Deteriorate
Time has had its way with me
My broken, tired hands can't build a thing
The wires that have held me still
Embedded now in flesh, define my will
The idle of my days has won
The empty I have fed has made me numb
Despite what you will find in me
The failures of my past still swell beneath
Pre-chorus:
I need a heart that carries on through the pain
When the walls start collapsing again
Give me a soul that never ceases to follow
Despite the infection within
Chorus:
Our careless feet leaving trails
Never minding the fragile dirt we all end in
This is where I find my fall
The cares that held me life don't work at all
And every step away from here
Is closer to the plague I hold so dear
Awaiting my end
Breathing in the day that finds me new
Redemption begins
Bleeding out the flaws in place of you
Chorus
The Soldier's Song
Through the clouds of fallen ash,
a lonely mother's cry
Among the fields of broken glass
the loyal few will rise
Faith now regained
Finding strenght within the void,
of raging fire ignites
A spark of ever-burning power
and conviction to fight
Pride be your name
They will spit upon the honor that
you guard with your life
And run to hide in selfish fear
when threat of death is in sight
Lay down your shame
Pre-chorus:
Armed with resistance and blind to the cost
They say your purpose is mindless and lost
But we don't adhere to the slader they spill
We mourn with your losses and stand by your will
Chorus:
These tears we spill
They haunt us still
The cries of the weak lie quiet in sleep
Beneath our feet
We are the sons of holy wrath,
a shining light in the dark
The ones who walk amongst despair,
no sign of fear in our hearts
Stand in death's way
Shut out the voice of mindlessness,
open your eyes to the truth
Believe the words that stand the test
and not the slurs of the youth
You're not what they say
Pre-chorus
Chorus
Turn over the tables and watch them run
You'll be the weapon they can't outgun
Chorus
Fire To My Soul
We flow with bitter words that file sharp our teeth
And we bite off our own tounges
We trample any trace of your divinity's hope
And we'll sacrifice our young
With our eyes sewn shut now the light can't shine
Oh, we'll never wake from dead
And when you beg for us to open up and let you in
Then we'll cut you out instead
Pre-chorus:
You promised you'd give us your word
We never believed it was true
And we pretend that we never heard
Cus we still don't believe in you
Chorus:
I heard you calling, setting fire to my soul
Is this the voice we die for?
We die for life
We built a wall to keep you out
Ignoring every word
And we saw your face behind our tounges
Apathetic to what we'd heard
Pre-chorus
Chorus
Why does it falter? We built it all ourselves
Why does it hurt so bad, forsaking all this help?
Why are we choking on pills designed to heal?
We threw our hearts away cuz we're too afraid to feel
Chorus
One Thousand Apologies
There you stood in disbelief,
Trying all you could to see through these lies
And every word that I could breathe
Would find you more inclined to leave, but I tried, I tried
And knowing what I've done to you
With every thought you suffer through
My heart as black as evil can
And everything I could have been
Erased by what I wanted then
I couldn't think a lesser man
Pre-chorus:
All the delicate ways
That I deepened our graves
My apology pales
Chorus:
Oh, the pain in your eyes
My regrets have never known such sorrow
Oh, the shame that you hide
Resolutions are the same tomorrow
So now I reap what I have sewn
And any rapture I had shown has bled dry
And I walked the streets alone
Accepting the pain I'd never known, as you died, you died
Then I hurt myself to see it too
To feel the knife put in you
My heart as broken as my ways
I never should've let it pass
This fall was never meant to last
The reason gone and damage stays
Pre-chorus
Chorus × 2
Pre-chorus
Chorus
The Science Of Lies
Bow down- before the god of cash
The philosophy of modern man is leaking fast
No foundation for the fram by which you set your mind
Just a legacy for the feeble to find
Desperation breeding faith unto a pitiful lie
"Give us your money and we'll open up your gullible eyes"
No redemption, not a reason, but a symbol of why
This digression of surrender is the science of lies
Chorus:
Believe the sacred blasphemy
They feed
That hollow voice inside your head
Recieve the fleeting fallacy
They breathe
Trace every step from where you were led
Look back and tell yourself what they said
(Now flee)
And now you feel it pulling you down
How can you buy into a faith that hasn't permanent ground?
Give me blood-soacked, sacrificial worth
Not the artificial product of a fraudulent birth
Give me selfless, consecrated reprise
Not a worthless contribution to the science of lies
Chorus
Feel it pulling down
Chorus
Snap Your Fingers, Snap Your Neck
Nothing breeds more contempt for this world
Than memories now formed
Every moment a new seed
Is grown to no reason, the trouble unfolds
For the trials of today
I'm no jury, really don't care how you feel
The pleasant notion of miraculous change
Drifts into multiple jeers
Chorus:
You want the good life
You break your back
You snap your fingers, you snap your neck
Seconds drip through my hands
Washed of moments unborn
All the spaces between bleed
A tribute to the sacrament never exposed
A message to the forces,
I've no pity, don't know how thankful to feel
Expectations of my daily bread
Gives me the hunger to steal
Chorus
Ribcage
All hail the newborn sin
Reject the boundaries and soak the cancer in
Hope kills the filth you crave
So bleed the truth out and fall into that grave
Uphold the brand new skin
Accept the failure, refuse to rise above
Break through the ribcage
And tear the heart out from everyone that you love
Pre-chorus:
Over and over again
We'll bury the shame underneath the lies we breathe
Over and over again
We'll carry the blame for the hell that we can't leave
Chorus:
Show me - the path that leads into your mind
Release - The thoughts you lock so deep inside
Show me - I'm the one who knew this pain
Release - Before you fall into this again
Behold the loyal slave
His rotting shell now a tomb where death can play
See nopw his pride caves in
Alone he fights to stop this dark decay
Feed, feed the lust you need
And fainter grows each plea from skies above
Break through the ribcage
And tear the heart out from everyone that you love
Pre-chorus
Chorus
Building a life out of all that you hate
We see through the front that you tried to create
The world that you had hoped for was only a fake
And just like the maggots that made you this way
I know
The Tide Began To Rise
I don't belong here
I never saw this on the path I walk
The blood-stained walls, the lines of chalk on the floor
It's getting so hard
I never saw the backlash when the tide began to rise
I can't remember
The way it was when everything felt right
My mouth held shut and my eyes sealed tight with control
Pre-chorus:
So I remember on the inside
Chorus:
I found a dark, infernal place I don't want to face anymore
Somehow, I won't stop feeding the pain
My heart's just the same as before
So now I'm stuck here
Between the guilty and the insincere
The words I spoke have left me here all alone
I should have known this
I never saw the backlash when the tide began to rise
I wish it all gone
I could've burned it when I had the choice
And now I'd die to kill this noise in my head
Pre-chorus
Chorus
So I remember on the inside
If this is all the love my spirit can give
Just take it back tonight
There is not a reason more to live
