Storm The Gates Of Hell

Broken teeth, a shattered jaw
Ten to one, behold my God
Wicked sons of Heaven's loss-
Raise your own inverted cross
Kings of earth, iron first-
Serve the sacred you dismissed
Stand before your final day
Choke on every line you pray

Raise your glass to death
Not one second left

Wake the lifeless, die to fight this
Stand beside me, storm the gates of Hell
Wake the lifeless, die to fight this
Stand beside me, storm the gates of Hell
Storm the gates of Hell
Storm the gates of Hell

Coward's heart, a serpent's tongue
Stand to face what you've outrun
Fear of death, fear of pain
Bound to all you took in vain
No more lies, no regrets
Sever ties and hollow debt
Open eyes, live to learn
Or watch your blessed temple burn

Raise your glass to death
Not one second left

Wake the lifeless, die to fight this
Stand beside me, storm the gates of Hell
Wake the lifeless, die to fight this
Stand beside me, storm the gates of Hell
Storm the gates of Hell
Storm the gates of Hell

Hell hath no fury at all
Hell hath no fury at all
Hell hath no fury at all
Hell hath no fury at all

Hell hath no fury at all
Hell hath no fury at all
Hell hath no fury at all
Hell hath no fury at all

Hell hath no fury at all (Hell hath no fury at all)
Hell hath no fury at all (Hell hath no fury at all)
Hell hath no fury at all




Lead Us Home

One more day
This time I'll bite the bullet
Let me stay, and set this life ablaze

Give myself to compromise
And let the hammer fall
From blackened eyes to broken ties,
I've bled to know them all
Driven to the brink of death
I heed deceptions call
Through bitter tears, forgotten years
I've come to sever all

Lead us home
Lead us home
Our tired hearts are failing now
From the inside out
Lead us home

One more time
This day I kill the witness
Take back what's mine, and give disgrace a name

Give myself to compromise
And let the hammer fall
From blackened eyes to broken ties,
I've bled to know them all
Driven to the brink of death
I heed deceptions call
Through bitter tears, forgotten years
I've come to sever all

Lead us home
Lead us home
Our tired hearts are failing now
From the inside out
Lead us home

Blessed hands will tear me off
And break me at the wrist
Drag me back to solid ground
Slay the fate I kiss

Lead us home
Lead us home
Our tired hearts are failing now
From the inside out
Lead us home

Lead us home
Lead us home
Our tired hearts are failing now
From the inside out
Lead us home
Lead us home




Sixteen

Sixteen, Oh holy day
Your time has come and passed
The rapture we've been waiting for
Has come to us at last
Sixteen for every fake, sixteen to every whore
Wipe that dirt from off your face
Sixteen is at your door

Oh, voiceless, wasted
You soaked your heart in gasoline
Now light it up and burn

The same cycle ever-turning you is calling
It's calling
The scene is begging for a grave tonight
It always, it always will

You take the name of love divine
And drag it through your blood
Now turn to face what you have made
And mourn what you have done

Oh, voiceless, wasted
You soaked your heart in gasoline
Now light it up and burn
Voiceless, wasted
I came this far to drag you down
And watch you take your turn

The same cycle ever-turning you is calling
It's calling
The scene is begging for a grave tonight
It always, it always will

Farewell to false pretension
Farewell to hollow words
Farewell to fake affection
Farewell, tomorrow burns

Farewell to false pretension
Farewell to hollow words
Farewell to fake affection
Farewell, tomorrow burns, burns

The same cycle ever-turning you is calling
It's calling
The scene is begging for a grave tonight
It always, it always will

The same cycle ever-turning you is calling
It's calling
The scene is begging for a grave tonight
It always, it always will




Fading Away

It's in this wake that I find myself
Losing the will to resume this Hell
When every breath is a dying wish
It's harder to follow the point of this

This broken place that I call my home
Has deepened the sorrow that I have sown
And I can't erase what is in my heart
I want it to finish before it starts

My own solution insufficient again
No false illusion, this devouring threat
I break the vessel, giving air to it's red
And open my fate to the darkened sky

I've been fading away
I've been waiting on the call to reach my veins
Ready or not
No attention to waste
Every sorrow of the soul will read my name
When I cease to exist

So, now I've come to the final sleep
I pray that forgiveness is mine to keep
I know it's hard to forget this man
Driving the failure into your hands

My own solution insufficient again
No false illusion, this devouring threat
I break the vessel, giving air to it's red
And open my fate to the darkened sky

I've been fading away
I've been waiting on the call to reach my veins
Ready or not
No attention to waste
Every sorrow of the soul will read my name
When I cease to exist
When I cease to exist

I've been fading away
I've been waiting on the call to reach my veins
Ready or not
No attention to waste
Every sorrow of the soul will read my name
When I cease to exist

I've been fading away
I've been waiting on the call to reach my veins
Ready or not
No attention to waste
Every sorrow of the soul will read my name
When I cease to exist
When I cease to exist




Carry Me Down

And if you see me losing ground
Don't be afraid to lie
I know the pain inside my heart
Can't break the fear inside of yours
And if you see me losing faith in what it means to die
Don't let me leave before I know what lies beyond the stained-glass doors

Save sorrow for the souls in doubt
Bleed every care out

Will you carry me down the aisle that final day,
with your tears and cold hands shaking from the weight?
When you lower me down beneath that sky of grey,
let the rain fall down and wash away your pain.

For every word we never spoke,
We have a tear to cry
For every silence like a wall between a better you and I.
So if you see me losing sight of all the death and life
You'll find the peace in every time I failed to see the death in mine

Let all the fear inside you drown
Tear out the blade and lay it down
Save sorrow for the souls in doubt
Bleed every care out

Will you carry me down the aisle that final day,
with your tears and cold hands shaking from the weight?
When you lower me down beneath that sky of grey,
let the rain fall down and wash away your pain.

Oh, the blood is rushing out
Oh, I'm better off without
Oh, the walls are closing in
Oh, sing for me again

Will you carry me down the aisle that final day,
with your tears and cold hands shaking from the weight?
When you lower me down beneath that sky of grey,
let the rain fall down and wash away your pain.

Will you carry me down the aisle that final day,
with your tears and cold hands shaking from the weight?
When you lower me down beneath that sky of grey,
let the rain fall down and wash away your pain.




A Thread Of Light

These words are a weapon
for the ones in pain
A fair fight
for the children of a lesser name
We are the war
against the sick and fatal fall of man
A hollow up
to the notion of a Godless stand
Quick to slam the gavel on a true solution
You let the fear become a stranglehold
Tear it all apart
so you can render your own belief
You never listened to what you were told

Condemned
You built a wall
Disbelief is all you left us
Reaction
Without a thought
Your resolve is to reject us

You found your darkness stands
on a thread of pinhole light
And all you wanted was perfection
You found your darkness stands
on a thread of pinhole light
So all you are is contradiction

You buried the chance
in a self-righteous glance
So your sons and your daughters were safe
But your imperfect path
is a heart made of glass
And the world is a charming grenade

Condemned
You built a wall
Disbelief is all you left us
Reaction
Without a thought
Your resolve is to reject us

You found your darkness stands
on a thread of pinhole light
And all you wanted was perfection
You found your darkness stands
on a thread of pinhole light
So all you are is contradiction
[x2]




I Am You

A black heart in an empty shell
where the desperation laid waste
I am you
A blank page in an unknown book
And the opposition you face
I am the endless scar, the broken hope
The gaping hole in your faith / I am you
The dark trail of endless graves
where all the lifeless lay

I am waiting for that blade to fall
and cut me free of this hollow life that
leads to all the ends that don't exist

Time to burn this design
To free ourselves
We will burn this together
Time to fuse this design, to make us one
We will burn this together

A new voice for the broken souls
in a world awaiting its death / I am you
An everlasting well of life
for the hopeless and the wrecked
I am the dying self, the narrow path.
The calm that conquered the storm
I am you
The crosshairs on the head of shame
The negation to conform

I am waiting for that blade to fall
and cut me free of this hollow life that
leads to all the ends that don't exist

Time to burn this design
To free ourselves
We will burn this together
Time to fuse this design, to make us one
We will burn this together

I will rise / I will break this
You will rise / You will break this
We will rise / We will take them down
Rise and break them down

Time to burn this design
To free ourselves
We will burn this together
Time to fuse this design, to make us one
We will burn this together
[x2]




Incision

Don't leave us
They said that you had gone astray
Don't lead us away from the light

We stood behind the veil
and watched you walk away from us
You shattered all our dreams
in one fatal mistake

You fractured every piece of life
that we cared about
Remember how
you breathe in us new life
and then you took it all away
You'll never live that down

I gave you every guiding word to cut it off
Now you hand me back the blade
to make that first incision for you

Wait and see
The weight of life may be the end of me;
The tension, break me
[x2]

We held you up so high
So why did you abandon us?
We never thought you'd be the one
to fall so far

You fractured every piece of life
that we cared about
Remember how
you breathe in us new life
and then you took it all away
You'll never live that down

I gave you every guiding word to cut it off
Now you hand me back the blade
to make that first incision for you
For you

Wait and see
The weight of life may be the end of me;
The tension, break me
[x6]




Thorns

Bitter thoughts became your every waking breath
Save the nights your hollow dreams revealed the sweet release of death
In your thoughts you played a symphony of self
But your soul had bled a darker song of close to nothing left

Oh, The deliverance of blade and flame, your love
And greater is the blood

You'll find it in the veil of night where solitude is born
In the emptiness of broken flesh
At the mercy of the thorns

You'll find it in the veil of night where solitude is born
In the emptiness of broken flesh
At the mercy of the thorns

Every line a path into an empty heart
Where the words of now forgotten love fall silent in the dark

Oh, The deliverance of blade and flame, your love
And greater is the blood

You'll find it in the veil of night where solitude is born
In the emptiness of broken flesh
At the mercy of the thorns

You'll find it in the veil of night where solitude is born
In the emptiness of broken flesh
At the mercy of the thorns

Sister, don't you sleep through your own eulogy
Don't sever what you are for what you couldn't be

You'll find it in the veil of night where solitude is born
In the emptiness of broken flesh
At the mercy of the thorns

You'll find it in the veil of night where solitude is born
In the emptiness of broken flesh
At the mercy of the thorns

You'll find it in the veil of night where solitude is born
In the emptiness of broken flesh
At the mercy of the thorns

You'll find it in the veil of night where solitude is born
In the emptiness of broken flesh
At the mercy of the thorns




Follow The Wolves

Every second is a pure affliction
But I can feel your pain
Choke back the burn of wrath
as they violate your name
No sign of innocence
in this godforsaken place
When the truth is in your hands,
they'll spit upon your face

Dismantle the ground they stand on
Give power a name
You've traveled the path of slander
Now bury the shame

Shed rejection
Learn to follow the wolves

Run away to the blackened sky
Through the fear and disbelief
Run away from the hollow cries
To the shelter of release
Run away to the blackened sky
Through the fear and disbelief
Run away from the hollow cries
To immunity

See the struggle of the faithless lot
as they negate their time
How low to sink to the depths
of their frame of mind

Dismantle the ground they stand on
Give power a name
You've traveled the path of slander
Now bury the shame

Shed rejection
Learn to follow the wolves

No tear for desolation
Nearing the end of our misery




Fiction Kingdom

Dig yourself a shallow grave
Your life is not the legacy of honor
That you would dig six feet for
Broken is the way you came
And broken is the way that you will leave
When everything is paid for
Make another hollow claim
A fable of regugitated nothing
That we could tear wide open
False in every possible way
Your god is still the powerless creation
That you will lose your hope in

Now you bleed for the lord of hate
That you stole from the pages of truth
And separate the product from its own
account, to birth a gospel of inferior view

Black reign is all in dream
Your truth is absolution's end

Dead is the way you stake your life on
The oblivious belief
What a waste to sell your spirit for

Lay upon the bed you made
Your word is not the legacy of truth
That you would bet your life on
Stand to face a mirrored blade
And tremble in the wake of your conviction
As you put your life on

Now you bleed for the lord of hate
That you stole from the pages of truth
And separate the product from its own
account, to birth a gospel of inferior view

Black reign is all in dream
Your truth is absolution's end

This war is a page unwritten
But we know how it ends
Take a step to the throne, convicted
Choking back your amends

Cry the death of fiction kingdom
Your truth is absolution's end

Dead is the way you stake your life on
The oblivious belief
What a waste to sell your spirit for

Dead is the way you stake your life on
The oblivious belief
What a waste to sell your spirit for




The Wrath Of God

Tear the voice inside
Dig a deeper tomb
And all the self can finally resonate
Tread on the path of pride
You can be the god
And let the faith become your enemy

Breathe redemption into wasted life
Closer, closer
Find the wrath of God inside your eyes
Closer, closer

Breathe deep
And as the fear before you falls
I know the pain is so unsettling
Breathe deep
So now you've built a thousand walls
But in the end it's all unravelling

Stand with a worthless sign
Wave it in the path
Of every face you cannot tolerate

Breathe redemption into wasted life
Closer, closer
Find the wrath of God inside your eyes
Closer, closer

This is the last day that you will regret
Wake from your sleep and never forget
This is the last day that you will regret
Closer, closer

Closer, closer, closer, closer
