Welcome fuckers its the end as you know Welcome time to reap what you've sowed Welcome fuckers with your face so cold Doesn't matter, lake of fire your new home Nobody's listening little boy wipe your eyes Little bastard don't look so surprised Little fuckers you weep and you moan Little brother what you gave you will own Did you know better? are you sorry? I don't know Doesn't matter wave goodbye as your thrown

The Wolf 04:14
I walk the path to tragedy A worthless heart without empathy As the sun now sets upon these chains Colossus rots where once were flames Rots and rusts in blackened fields Agony's screamed (at) the gates to hell I crawl on towards deaths mercy Kept at arms length, theres no release. I fall shivering (in) the shadow of the beast Seven serpents crawl up my legs and smother me I am a liar to the crown I dance on the tombs of kings and spit on hallowed ground Screams burn like fire, but make no sound. I cower here a prisoner on the shore to the blackest sea I ask not why the wolf howls It howls for me And I see the tide crawl in time with iron bells Call me back to father in the pits of seven hells. And I fall.

Leechbath 02:08
Crushed under the weight of their writhing fits Teeth like hooks carve deep within The heartless And empty Feeding inside Swallowing what little lights in my life Spineless, the cowards Devoid of all depth Surround me, cling tightly Suck the life from my chest You've Failed Every Day You've Woke You scum You fucks Listen And Choke I'm buried alive, they crawl around me Blink of an eye, my whole life has been stolen from me Feel them crawl inside my neck, behind my eyes, inside my head I choke and gasp to catch my breath while bloods coughed out across my chest I know you know the truth about this fucking song That nothings fucking over and nothings done A hate unspoken still burns as hot Nothings forgiven Nothings forgot Because I feel no pain anymore.

Behold godless soul Wrought of hate for a sinners toll Awash in flesh and greed I bow A thousands days in numbing cold Poisoned lips and poisoned cups Hidden knives and worthless fucks A dance of death And end of days I worship none None more than pain Through a pit of blades I stray, regret now blacks the light of days of younger flesh and younger hearts Where faith in time and youth still sparked the will to leave the house each day. I saw my path but chose to stray And now I crawl on back and say I've seen my heart and youth decay. I'm broken And I hope to die alone I've been failed by every hero I've held I've called a burning house a home I'm dying and its no ones fault but my own I've chose to burn to this body and mind This hellbound heart I'll own Help me I'm in hell, among the lost to life I dwell Demons tear and shred this soul As walking death infects the world I know I'm unburied But fucking dead.

On Hooks 02:37
Everyday I feel this life is drowning me Every face to cross my path is sickening A pit devoid of soul, of heart or empathy I try to find a point at all but I cant see. On these fucking hooks I'll hang To writhe and rot in iron chains Spirit guides and pills for pain They drag me to an early grave I've faced the truth I wont be saved Its far too late for epiphany The cloaked ghost will strike the days Until this world is through with me I try but I cannot relate at all Theres no place for me in this fucking world Every time I reach to try again I'm knocked back down reminded who I am With serpents eyes they smile up at me They pull their hooks and suck dry what they need They drop an empty corpse down at their feet And with their cloven hooves step over me Here I'll hang.

IWIWD 01:04
I've got head full of bad ideas I've got a pocket full of lead I've got a gun down in my hand And I put it to my head All I do is lose I'm held together by a thread I wish to god I was never born I wish I was fucking dead.

Sphrenia 03:15
Nothing is real I see their shadows in the day I hear the voices and they call my name I know the demon by her eyes The ice blue daggers stab I see the liars with no face They walk beside while they play their games I know they're laughing at my fate "there is no escaping" is what they say I read the writing the on the wall They leave their poison for me, its not too far They lead me further down the hall The doors are open for me, its not too far Sunset. Its getting harder just to see what is real, This fucking nightmare I feel or what she sends when I wake I cant tell if its my Heart or the hate I'm not sure whats OK Are these friends that I see or something crueler for me? Its all her I cannot see whats left for me Only the horror that comes to haunt the day I cannot feel whats real in me Just phantom pain for a heart decayed I will live forever among these mirrored walls I will pull the curtain from where my tormentor calls I'll stalk the pale faces whose brought me to my knees I'll grasp her thin white neck as she laughs at me

Funerals 01:45
Can't get my head above the ground Can't take the heat Can't move on I lose my thoughts within the sound Its grabs my heart and pulls me down I feel as buried as any of them Another version of the faces I know Another pound for the weight I tow Another burial (for) a piece of me Another vision that id rather not see Another knife into the heart of me Another funeral is killing me You go on without me but I'm dragged along Another mark to remind me, how far I've fallen Oh please god, I can't take another fucking funeral

Dusk 04:29
Your arms that take Your arms invertebrate Venomous, constricting and cold Blood warms to life Tongue flickers in time Vibrations awaken your soul The mind sheds away You circle, break, swerve and stay You stare so deep , you rise so tall You gently sway, your silhouette writhes and plays Its poison up on the wall Drumming hearts they sync and then slow (you) whisper songs of peace and of home Whisper promise though don't show what you see When those black diamonds stare straight through to me Flicker in time Gently entwine Daggers slide sharper than pain Rise up, around Liquid and vapor A warmth that creeps up through my veins Now is your time And I've walked this line (while) you slid down deep in my soul I fade away as you breathe your song heavy And I take my show on the road Slide on black racer, slide on.

I Am Legion 03:47
I am Legion Gadarene For I am many And many devils have entered me I am legion I am Gadarene But these demons wont be cast from me Abysses, the farthest depths, from where they rose of Baal and Set Seven serpents, seven seas, seven walls imprison me But none shall pass without the key And it was lain down at their feet I welcomed them, they welcomed me Never blind I chose not to see The engine The weapon Beneath the flesh A fragile minds caverns To hide within An engine, a weapon is now my heart The building of towers that crumble and fall apart An angels boiling blood is flowing backwards through my veins Creatures feeding endlessly upon a child's pain I am now the sum of all the demons that infest A cancer of my own construct and built in self defense. I am legion

Ratflesh 01:29
Damn this place a fucking cage Damn another wasted day At their desks like fucking dummies Making other people money Cant care less what they say I'll burn this fucker down one day I hope this place burns to the fucking ground With their ugly suits and cars in tow I pray these fucking people die With their bullshit lives and their bullshit smiles Run like rats caught in a maze While to a desk I sit here chained If I last another day I'll blow out my fucking brains Another day another dollar And I'll fucking sit here while my brain rots farther But I have to play this game to pay my fucking car bill
12.
The end The union of the father and the wayward son Atop the sister peaks above the valley, Agamemnon Under angels Above the lightless fallen stars A pale cloaked rider Circles to his call With the countless counted Lost in confusion Await the harvest hour Await the son The falling answers Clarity as a flood The weeping liars Creation undone Revelation As was told all along The facing gates swing open And drag their children home So far from mercy Pay the boatmens toll As we see the lightbringer has reclaimed his sword They await the harvest hour They await the descent All I have and all I know And it comes back to me, like a child's dream All so familiar for things I've never seen As a light flashes over, washes over me, Rends the flesh from the bone but I won't scream.
