A Breath Before Surfacing
Album • 2008
This track is instrumental.
Staring in disbelief of how much I love you And how much you love gnawing on my fingers This thread never seems to end Our dying wish, to slay these demons and dine on their flesh Decades of angst concealed Bred into society’s dregs Behind a wall of fire they reside Awaiting the fateful day on which we create our final resolution In a web of deceit, the serpentine savior of all I have seen so many fall into this black hole that consumes your every action To hide in a cave The hollow comfort of the flame Now be witness to the battle that ensues A war has been declared Which side will you choose? ATTACK After all is said and done We did our best but they won Well they’ve never mattered anyway

OH THE BRUTALITY It’s enough to make me want to scream FUCK I’M SO ANGRY What kind of person would listen to something so hateful? It’s become more than just music It’s a motive to kill If it hasn’t taken control yet it surely will The blood will spill Too many blast beats have rattled loose my brain Every time I hear a fucking break down it drives me insane Don’t look so surprised I see the desperation in their eyes Legions of murderers await ALL HAIL METAL No one is safe The West Memphis Three ain’t got nothing on me I’m blowing more minds than Stained Class and Suicide Solution combined with Columbine It’s not insensitive if it’s satire I’m holding back, but not anymore I make Ozzy and Priest look like Potsie and Screech How’s that for ruthless? So come with me I will introduce you to a life of depravity in time I’m not a bad guy but don’t mistake my kindness for weakness I wear my heart on my sleeve except all my shirts are sleeveless I’m sorry you just don’t understand but this is not for you We’ve readied our axes within our clenching hands Now we begin our aural assault Society is doomed NO ONE IS SAFE WHILE THIS METAL IS RUNNING THROUGH OUR VEINS

Upon a throne of doubt I sat Contemplating where my life was at And in that certain way, fate smiled Fate smiled on me They say such foolish dreams could never manifest into reality They’ll wish we never made a sound WE ARE A LACK OF SILENCE Our shadows seen on the horizon A cloud of smoke is billowing Why do we carry these torches around? In hopes to burn everything to the ground As though it never happened we’ll carry on Climbing towards the final destination Our final resting place Every breath that we now take Every moment that we’re awake We can’t forget we could be alone in this world Strive for this as though it’s your magnum opus They’ll wish we never made a sound

A SURGEON EMERGES I am undone, quite literally Now what have I become? Incognito no more, some scars cannot be concealed This operation is a complete bust I put back whatever has been removed and sew myself up I need a second opinion This abandoned hospital is my dominion I HOPE MY INSURANCE COVERS THIS Cosmetic surgery, apathetic perjury With these tools I'm free I can't afford to be ugly The sound of flat lining is like music to my ears For once their grasp on life releases A cold body rife with pieces for the taking If the skin fits, wear it My hands now shaking As you see I have erected my anatomy with care A perfect visage I seek Each piece was hand selected, no expense could be spared You can't put a price on beauty

A stain on existence they’re forcing their way As we all sit idly we participate in all these lies and deceit We can’t believe a goddamn thing They claim to help us, they’ll say it’s for the better Conveying to serve our interests while only serving to disgust Another serpent disguised in a suit We’ve got to burn it to the ground and expose the roots In all these lies and deceit We can’t believe a goddamn thing We’ve got to punish those who filter the truth All fabricators shall be cleansed in flame Repent - don’t fall for their tricks The only way to be free of such hypocrisy Ingrained within Our only form of solace comes from writhing in sin We’ll dig our way out of this grave For too long now we’ve been buried in shit This twisting blade has been thrust in our backs It digs into the spine forcing the population to our knees Faltering, excised of our autonomy How long will we steady our hands before taking it back? Vicious, we will bring down your reign Grey matter, paint the walls with their disease Sever forked tongues from toothless smiles We will never swallow our pride Nor swallow this rubbish we’ve been fed

Strange How I can feel trapped in a room with so many exits Overwhelming As the air escapes my lungs The sound of the thunder masking the footsteps Of potential stalkers in my home It’s frightening to think of what is out there To think I’m not alone The paranoia has set in My neck is stiff from looking over my shoulder every minute Set me ablaze and extinguish me in salt I know no rapture such as this Tie my limbs to four separate horses And when you see fit - crack the whip A MUFFLED SCREAM IS JUST A WHISPER Intruder, string me up in your vocal cords Sing me to sleep, I’m hanging on your every word No one’s impervious to the unknown Nothing’s innocuous after what I’ve been shown

She is pious in every way When learned her passions “Forbidden” they will say Her morbid lust consumes her every thought You seductress of the dead The end is the beginning of this beast As she’s pulling back the sheet, she’s a macabre masterpiece And for the first time she opens up A skeleton removed Out of her closet, into her bed She’ll never love me, she’ll never love me til I’m dead And so I take this final breath The noose grips tight around my neck I’m slowly moving towards the light To her I offer my life So that she may dance on my grave Her ritual resounds As I’m going, she is cumming Our simultaneous release lets our love ring true She’s made the preparations, a silence preserved In this I can truly feel her angst Tired of being alone, accustomed to hurt Witness her greatest deceit An empty casket in the dirt Those eyes now haunt my afterlife Twisted it pains my bones to no end Our time together not in vain This love oblique we extend death Mortality is but a bar on that which makes us who we are I lie in wait for your return a pale blue tint to my face So many secrets within this house Forever clouded in incense Now I dream of explosions in black Fade out as we wither away Her crooked smile stained with sin A veil of black shrouding her face Embalming fluid fills her room To ensure I’ll never be replaced J

On this night we have been desecrated On this night we have been sacrificed Upon this night we have risen from ashes And on this night we're exacting revenge Only blood will suffice Broughten back with such fervor We, the purest of hearts All their disdain will prove only to fuel our determination We cannot faulter to these bottom feeders any longer They have been starving, alas the vein is tapped Slaughter their weak, such waste could never hold us back Their ranks will fall during our ascension Grand halls will lay littered in their remains "Spare us of this!" Spare us of this? It's far too late An endless staircase is all that awaits There is no retreat For once this night has begun it can never end It can only repeat Through every struggle With every victory we are humbled HAVING THE TIME OF OUR LIVES IN THIS NEVER ENDING NIGHT

Someone in this room cannot be trusted Somebody turn on the lights We’ve all been privy to a chain of events tonight That will determine our very futures It will determine our lives I’m going to get to the bottom of this Deadbolt the door, no one in or outside I arrived just before midnight Soaking I hurried through the door To find inside what my eyes could not believe Our hostess face down on the floor Now I don’t know who I can trust There is no one In misery I will solve this mystery And if I never rest again, it shall be done With such a host of characters One of them is bound to make a tragic mistake Forcing them to light Illuminates the culprit NO MERCY TONIGHT The goddess of the moon has provided us the setting In which our story takes place Their leering eyes burn like coals in my path But I cannot be compromised The blood has started to pool in my hands Manifesting the weight on my conscience I must confess She is far more than our hostess In fact, she’s the love of my life And though there are knives in my eyes I’m still wide awake Questions fired like bullets in an attempt to seed Those who are truly innocent from the guilty A ceiling fan is the only thing in sight With each rotation a shadow cutting through the light With my head in my hands a depravation of sound I can see clearly now that only darkness surrounds They all played a part in her death I will go on til I have nothing left Forever bound to this oath To avenge her ghost

I crack my knuckles and let out a sigh The rain falls My face tilted towards the sky You must be insane if you think I have forgotten Not a night goes by that I don’t reflect I’ll admit that not every memory is clear But I don’t consider that a bad thing I can’t remember your voice It’s lost to me Everyday I see your face It’s a part of me I am not alone You have shown me the way The way not to be if I want to do more than watch TV How does it feel to be taken down a notch? Don’t get me wrong, I miss you I’m just not sure how much The tears are welling up in anger For all the things you didn’t do to stop the inevitable Everyone saw it coming Everyone but you Bastard - I’ll forever be This name that I bear is not of my own The rain can’t wash away the shame though it is soothing There’s no avoiding that I reap what you’ve sewn I stand before you today Not a scholar nor a picture of perfect health How am I to teach my unborn son to be a man when I have never learned myself?
