lyrics

Come down from your cloud Drink you weightless Tarry not from indulgence Words in secret Foul intent whispered on ears so young So young What have we become Drag them away Drag them below Preacher with his privates out on full display Ignoring his own words adorned with golden crucifix The sweet hypocritic bliss Starving faces need a taste Decentralize the wealth Arm the children first Comfort mothers arms Dancing on graves as war horns blast Take the wicked out to pasture Six feet down Damn their souls Damn their souls Weep for the wicked damned souls Pride becomes before the fall Wake up voiceless The fun has begun Shed no tears Wake up as one Indulge Dancing to the beat of war drums Teacher took a look at Mary Anne He saw that she was vulnerable Armed with a license from the state to educate how he sees fit Avenge the innocent Gluttons of lust Of every substance Of death and blood You reap what you sow

Open up your eyes Silence stay alive Watch these swine dance Before a captive audience Furring every brow Self destructive self care Take this cup Forever numb Take the bread Consume this wealth Give away All the grace You mangled mess Another idolater Cultured slaves Without a face To demonstrate Just how to appreciate Break away From arms so safe Disgrace themselves And ruin so many lives Numb the pain Forget my name Save yourself Or anybody else Numb the pain Forget my name Save yourself The trouble of living a lie Technology is racing through my mind Crying out for mercy til our throats are dry Isolation takes you places you never really wanna go Feed a pig a pearl and watch his damnable soul REACH OUT AND GRAB YA Night has come and gone Perform your dying dance From an empty cup Indoctrinate indulgence Quick to blame another Caught up with a lover Dry your eyes my dear cause daddy ain’t comin home Be Still This brave new world is clothed in fear Take this cup Forever numb Take the bread Consume the wealth Give away All the grace You mangled mess Another idolater Numb the pain Forget my name Save yourself Or anybody else Numb the pain Forget my name Save yourself The trouble of living a lie

Bodies breaking at command Plague their lives Watch the sky Bitter envy Wrath of plenty Vile torture Bore calamity Writhing tidings Shut the eyelets Bombs are dropping Stunning silence Every eye has long ignored the master of manipulation (Shun) insanity, the crooked state Fill our lungs with violence and hate so we will stay Captured in a state of misery Til our bodies, minds, and souls they break Fire emerges from the smallest spark Flames burn bright to show you who's in charge Consuming everything in disregard Swallowing the lives of gentle hearts Conquer after conquer, it does seek Ruthless and persistent is the key Once its reign is total and complete The flames die out, but from the ash come misery, repeat your grief Bodies breaking at command Plague the lives of those who choose to make a stand Call upon the ageless sin Selfishness grants wickedness the means to win Watch the sky All the Earth in an instant Waved white flags in agreement The sinless die, the crooked smile All for name and glory Whispers of war thrown around like a joke The debt is rising, the nations are broke History shows what come next Grab your cubs by the scruff of the neck Hide them away These are the days Every eye has long ignored Soon all mortal Bodies breaking on command All the prophets raise their glass, a toast to rebel stands Their borrowed thrones will be reclaimed and wash away like sand Draw the poison Purest mercy follow through and cure the vile man Cure the vile man Cure unholy man

An empty grave An unmade bed A brand new day Shines upon Her sweet face Give her rest The pain was great Give her grace and restrain No one's dancing No light in the dark A thief in the night comes Here we sing dirges No one is dancing The hosts sing praise No one is mourning The hosts sing praise No one is mourning Here we sing dirges No one is dancing Come home my dear The hour is nigh Lay down your head on This heavenly bed Enjoy your rest The pain was great All the same You loved til the end May God bless til we meet again No light in the dark Our hands they lay waste It's all that we know The dead call the Earth home To dust you’ll return To find all you’ve longed for No stone goes unturned A thief in the night comes

Grace abounds here Gently rest now All of this too shall pass Old souls and the young at heart Cast not your stones, his lot is enough Grace abounds here Speak to see One day when all fades to black Then will the lot be cast Death can’t be cheated, oh yes Death can’t be cheated, oh no I like the smell of fear emitting flesh Death can’t be cheated, oh no Joy we do covet, oh Hell hath spoke Craving and covetous souls I own Follow the fallen to their doom Each breath we rob we behold A noose for one His soul was lost to us Drink from the bitter cup All for a sack of silver Crawl on your belly and beg Left there to rot in the sand Hung by the neck until dead Is it too late to amend? A noose for one His soul was lost to us Drink from the bitter cup All for a sack of silver Brotherly embrace Unrighteous kiss bestowed Spat in the face of love Was this the worst of all our sins Favored and blessed All of us are to blame All have betrayed love All for a sack of silver Oh, Mercy, God

What must be said All of these images, circling fixtures Dancing right over my head Am I forgetting the scent of the morning What have we gotten these newborns into Can we protect their innocent heads Let us not forget Make this clear This cannot be how it ends Take this pain off All of the minds of the comforting kind Shared fate makes us Cower together under one banner Fight us out of Feed the starving faces full of salt Light Bread Feed the weak what they need Milk and honey Feed the weak what they need Love don’t worry Does anyone know how to hold their fists by their side Should we give in to animal yearnings Should we give in to animal doctrine Or shut the mouths of wolves, bears, and lions Can anyone agree Our greatest currency is seed Make this clear This cannot be how it ends Shared fate makes us Cower together under one banner Fight us out of Our own way, better days are Far ahead of all our crooked minds Take your loving arms to battle Lest not forget to sing through trial Lest we forget Take this mouth of modern design and give it a twist Lest not forget the history of our race Man did cry And he wailed For hands to hold Together reign Together fall

Buried At Sea 05:48
lyrics

To become one with the sea Never to see the shore See the lights going out A soul has left its home Lowered down to the sand Eternity to erode Waves and wind in unison Drag their bodies down below Remember to forget Ill sewn content Beneath shifting sands Rest the weary ones Uniform demise Life left behind The current beckons you home Lost to the deepest dark No light to warm a lifeless corpse in death depart Teeming with life the sea Join the greatest mystery in song To become one with the storm Steer the ship straight through the eye Abandon fear to the wind Drive this vessel back to port The dead thrown to the deep With memories in song The living wave goodbye The rain begins to pour Beneath shifting sands Rest the weary ones Uniform demise Life left behind Wind is much too strong The waves begin to grow Courage hangs by a thread The hosts aboard the ship The mast is split in two One final breath one final flashing light Swallowed down below my strength my song

Dawn cease to stay Don’t run away When the sun refuse to shine All knees are bent All bodies lynched When the dead go marching in Now where they go Nobody knows What a grand ole mystery The damned will walk Beyond the docks Beyond the shores of mother earth The depths cry out in victory The damned will cry Welcome tainted, tattered souls Welcome home Now all the stones that people throw Will all erode so choke a smoke This curse is worse Nobody's first You know that pride permits the fall Calamity bites like A rusty knife right As if the killings could be worse The shrieks ring out As one voice loud Where no one ever sees the sun The depths cry out in victory The damned will cry Welcome tainted, tattered souls Welcome home Oh, when the sun refuse to shine When the sun refuse to shine You know I’d loathe to be in that number When the dead go marching in Oh, when the sun refuse to shine When the sun refuse to shine You know I’d loathe to be in that number When the dead go marching in When the dead go marching in When the dead go marching in Damn their souls Damn their souls Weep for the wicked damned souls Damn their souls Damn their souls Weep for the wicked damned souls Pride becomes before the fall Weep for the wicked damned souls Damn their souls (Their souls) Damn their souls (consumed) Weep for the wicked damned souls (in blackest darkness) Pride becomes before the fall (Their souls consumed) Weep for the wicked damned souls (in blackest darkness) Damn their souls (Their souls) Damn their souls (consumed) Weep for the wicked damned souls (in blackest darkness) Pride becomes before the fall Weep for the wicked damned souls Damn their souls (Their souls) Damn their souls (consumed) Weep for the wicked damned souls (in blackest darkness) Damn their souls (Their souls) Damn their souls (consumed) Weep for the wicked damned souls (in blackest darkness) WAIT

Blackest Darkness 05:25

I want to mourn these fiends I see Blackest darkness surrounds me Grinning faces soured by unseen fire Now they have come to their end Mass decay reeks all around No living eye has seen No relief, no water for your tongue Unable to swallow, unable to breath I wasted all my days I want to hold my mother's hand Let me kiss my daughter Let me tell my wife goodbye There is no place for me here Ceaseless memories in stride Remind me of the misery Bestowed on heads adorned with grace and scars Mercy now has fewer hands to hold Noxious fumes of bodies nearly burned Laughing voices now have turned to moans Endless time to ponder all that is lost Gnashing teeth heard all around Feeble dead end dreams resound The seekers barred the gates Puking putrid words in rage Making matters worse you're all alone In an iron casket full of holes Reaching for a hand to hold Earth has merely tasted fear Insufferable sanity in blackest night Senseless, lidless eyes that cannot see Flames burn brighter everyday Fresh meat for the fire's craving Crying out for mercy Silent tears are wept in safety A thousand lifetimes to remember All the pain and misery bestowed On On it goes Even demons They will fold Endless flame Fallen from grace and laid to rest Is this the end, it never ends Chaos freed, blackest dark, gates clang No relief

Water From A Wooden Bowl 08:58
lyrics

Above me the sky was teeming with life All engaged in an encircling melody of motion I saw children riding on wings of great birds Those grown were transparent And shone in more color than I had ever seen I trembled when I looked below I could see the mountains of great deserts And all the Earth’s forces waging war against each other My words fell on deaf ears as I begged for them to stop The cannons fired The rifles sputtered The bombs fell And my mouth quivered Peering through blackness due East in the night Crossing the desert, three riders in white, they said Lay down your arms come down from your watch Those sleeping within these four walls shan't be woke Weary I ran and weary I came Gates open wide we met in the pouring rain All remained silent in mystery shared Hunched on their snow white mounts, none were grey haired Then they all dismount All without a sound Faces all so young But their bodies broke Barely skin and bone Trembling as they walked Weathered husks to hide their ageless lives The riders lifted their voices in song From their cloaks they raised wooden bowls Each one dry as a bone The rain ceased to pour The ground became dry The bowls were filled with purest water Drink your fill Gladly Fully Tell us what you see Bring us a vision of victory So I drank The Earth was opened up and swallowed me whole The riders were gone, but still I heard their song Falling through space and time, the voices ascend Chorus resounding, I yearned for a hand as I fell Pressure too strong my body burst through I stood above a still ocean floor Cannons fired Rifles sputtered The bombs fell My mouth quivered Above me the multitude were covered in black clouds Darker than the deapest depth of the darkest ocean The mountain streams became red, smoke and screams filled the air I was brought to my knees when suddenly the clouds and smoke were swept away The multitude all joined hands above me Cannons fired Rifles sputtered The bombs fell My mouth quivered Below me the daughters of Earth were running From the worst amongst us pleading for mercy The elders were drawn out of their hiding places and disposed Children's lifeless bodies lie everywhere I beat my hands against the water only to see ripples across the surface From the depths a light came through Brighter than the sun, it rose and bloomed In the sky a pillar of clouds appeared With outstretched hand, it warmed to touch The armies above dove towards the water The light, speed, and the sound as they burst through The water threw me to my knees The angels, they heard my pleas I laid down across the ocean to see The army of transparent color poured out to stop the flame From the steaming fire rose a most beautiful sight I never seen I could see the helpless lifted up and fly away Beneath the water, golden flames burst out All across the Earth, gnashing teeth rang out Piercing light burst out, all around the Earth Separate fate for all was lost and won All had met their end I looked up and saw the clouds disperse into a countless army All were one, all was won I woke, the riders were gone, beside me one wooden bowl
