I’m not your gateway / I’m not your prodigal son / I am the vile lesser-than / Just who do you think I am? I’m not your standard / I’m not your vision divine / I am no sacrificial lamb / Just who do you think I am?
I am death
I’m not your sacrifice / I’m not your shelter in the storm / I am determinately man / Just who do you think I am? I’m not your child / I’m not your paragon of just / I am by other means damned / Just who do you think I am?
Who do you think I am? / I am death
Tell me your misery / Give us the antidote / I heard the voice of change behind a vacant note All this tearing apart without a reform / Call it what you will, I’m not afraid to say...
I’ve heard it all / Connection lost / We’re standing by / Artificial light You sell a fix for our defect / And all we find / Artificial light
Doesn’t break the model / I can’t feel it in my bones / Nothing shattering my world / No We want a real cure / Not idle sympathy / The dark consuming light that you have failed to be No, it’s not enough / I resent this deprivation / Your remedy is not a weapon to slaughter the sorrow
Did anyone survive? / I swear I heard your voice beyond this side Does anyone still try? / Does anyone still hope to set their eyes beyond this place? Where angels fall and darkness reigns / Where time dissolves the brightest flame (ever the same)
Whether I’m the last one alive / Or ascend before my time Better I’m the last one alive than a soul denied
So this is how we break / And this is where we find the only hope within this place Time is wearing down my fight, my determination / Dividing in my head This degeneration cull / It’s my definiton / Recalling all I am / Where I begin I could live my life for the void inside / To the vacant rise surrender mine / Forever divide
But I know how the rest will go / And the line that I live behind Never hide / Never Compromise / Like Them / Everything I am is what I’m not
In my revelation I can see it all clear / My enemy, my guide Every idol I refuse / Every declaration / Becoming all I am / To my end
These quiet words, they carry me away / Returning / They keep coming back In idle thoughts and hollow cut-aways / Disarm me / No will to attack
Though the sorrow and fear they may depart you today I will fail you / Of that I’m sure / I will remind you of the pain forevermore And when my sins are just a memory / Faith restored / I will fail you to the core
Lost in the shadow of an endless grace / Relentless / My reign is unbound In this abandon I will devastate / Dismember / Till agony’s found
I know they prey upon me / I feel them just beyond my door
There is a fire in me / I feel its burn within my flesh / Returning back / With every vacancy of breath No compromise / There is no blade to bring me down / Bleeding at the seams / I ever fight the final round
All of the sorrow, all of the pain / Hold me down / This is the battle within my name / Forever One last song to sing / One final decree / One last song / This everlasting word inside me There is a final day to every tear, every breath / Falling enemies / No burn of anguish in us left All will be undone / When every lost will be found / On this day I cease / To ever fight the final round
Hail victim, raise your voice and curse this mortal chain / Lay down your tired albatross / Let Heaven hear your strain This unrelenting plague unbound, your agonizing toll / Like God himself in parallel / Delusion takes you hold
Recoil / I see you writhe in distress / Hell on earth / No one ever stood for pain like this
Sing to me your plight unjust / Define it for the rest of us / No river of your tears, no sympathy will find you here Not one of you bastards has a cross to bear
You clench your fist unto the sky to sound your troubled mind / Unto the throne of sorrow’s scribe, of sacrifice divine Bite your tongue / Bleed unsung
I don’t wanna close my eyes / I can’t tell if I’m asleep or if I’m blind We’re going nowhere / No one seems to care
I could sell a peace of mind / I could tell you every time that I divide The water will decide where to feed me / Mother don’t you cry / Hell don’t need me
When the calling comes for the rest of us, let me help you decide But there is not much sympathy left to give for the deserted mind I have the same fear tearing the plot in two / I know it’s not your fight… right? But the weight of it is breaking upon my back / So I can see that it’s not without my life Am I the last one? / Are we a dying breed? / Anyone outside? / I fear tomorrow will eclipse today
In time, we will erase it all In time / We are the fault of our own fall
So if you see it all, you take it to the ends, and let it sound throughout your bones In this, trust, they will not relent their rope / But the faithful are not alone
Don’t let them tear it from your hands
Where does your allegiance lie? / In failing hearts and idle hands / What corrupted eyes, to heed the certainty of man You fail me / I never was my final word / I could never be the only voice I heard
Trust in the powerless, the ever knowing inside / See no deliverance / Leave all conviction behind The darkest of hearts they cease to bleed / And Never deny for the self to lead You’ll find in this a lonely home / No tear consoled / To wander on a nameless road / Beyond me Compromise all time unseen, for this, your momentary lust / Pride deafening / Unsung hymns gather rust
I thought about you / I thought about the ones that I forget Oh please forgive me / I hope that I’ve not pushed you to the edge
Let me wash away the painful words I wrote / We can smother out the flames within my soul No more standing by the way that I believe / We can smother out the flames...
With gasoline
You break around me / You say that I should give my heart a rest We’ll watch these flames / Like a tower of dissent, choking out regret
Devouring light / An image of my soul, out of our control
Everything in time / Set your eyes upon the shallow surface Hollow out your mind / How divine, you disengage your self Tell me / Tell me of your consolation / Tell me / I am lost in the gray
Tell me that your final home is not a… A shot in the dark Tell me that your hopes and dreams don’t end in the heart of a graveyard
Set aside your soul / Let tomorrow realize itself
