A Plea for Purging
Album • 2010
I am the reaper I will be the demise of your reign I am the dark shadow where you hide Self-righteous fascist, you chase the sun Glory belongs to no man Crooked church, you sell the Son Thieves deserve to have no hands Our Prisons were built with the stones of law Whore houses are built with the bricks of religion Oh man of God from which was your stone I've stayed quiet for far too long 'Cause I've typecast myself to censor what I can say I'm so sick of this, sick of what's going on Now I'm putting an end to my silence Your god's not real Your god's not real Your god's not real This is the end of my silence The wolf provides for his own but God provides for the lion The wolf provides for his own but God provides for the lion I am the lion, you are the wolf You can run but I will find you The wolf provides for his own but God provides for the lion I am the lion, you are the wolf You can run but I will find you I am the reaper You can run but I will find you I am the reaper

We are the new free-thinkers My father gave me a brain My mother taught me to use it So swallow back all the vomit that you're spewing They're all buying it, but I'm not buying it You can't fool me anymore You are the curse You are the curse Your false prophecies darken my eyes and break my back The new heaven is born and hell revives The new heaven is born and hell revives The new heaven is born and hell revives The new heaven is born and hell revives As I walked along the flames of hell It became known to me That you are nothing but a wolf in priest's clothing Eugh They are buying it, but I'm not buying it They cry, "Lead us, oh chosen one." You are the curse You are the curse Your false prophecies darken my eyes and break my back This is the death of faith and all that is good You are the curse You are the curse Your false prophecies darken my eyes and break my back They cry, "Lead us, oh Chosen One." When the new heaven is born and hell revives They cry, "Lead us, oh Chosen One." When the new heaven is born and hell revives The new heaven is born and hell revives The new heaven is born and hell revives

Cheap steps make for easy regrets but keep your words of contempt You are no friend, my enemy, you tear me down, keep me weak I wear no crown of weakness, His is no crown of weakness I wear no crown of weakness, hide in your own contempt Iron sharpens iron but your judgment's dulling me I answer to no man You're no gods or masters of this world Maybe I'm wrong Maybe I'm damned I pray I don't wake up in hell If I were God we'd all be dead If I were God we'd all be dead, we're all dead The devil's hands have been busy, the devil's hands have been busy Grace sustains but I thirst for revenge The world would be destroyed if I were God Demons are fallen angels Remember that when you think of a saint Demons are fallen angels Remember that when you think of a saint Fallen angels I'm coming for your wings Fallen angels I'll cut off your wings If I were god, we'd all be dead If I were god, we'd all be dead Lord knows I'm a cynic but I won't give up, won't give in Lord knows I'm a cynic but I won't give up without a fight The devil's hands have been busy Turning liars to masters, demons to gods But we're no gods, we're no masters We're only fallen angels in this world

Fame is a lonely world Success has its enemies Look where it's gotten us Is this what we wanted It has nothing for me Nothing, nothing for me What can you offer a man That has nothing to lose Fame is a lonely world Success has its enemies I'm sick and tired of looking past the things you do I'm sick of sugar-coating everything I say Was it too good or evil that I sold my soul This is over my head, over your head, over my head anyway Life can truly begin When you have nothing to lose I have nothing to lose, nothing left to lose Life can truly begin When you have nothing to lose I have nothing left to lose I fear no death and no pain I have nothing left to lose I'm not scared of you, I'm not scared of you I fear no death and no pain I have nothing left to lose I'm not scared of you, I'm not scared of you We will not be stopped You will not silence me We are the new torch runners We cannot be stopped I fear no death and no pain I have nothing left to lose I'm not scared of you, I'm not scared of you

We're the ones you run to when your world is crashing down This choice made years ago is such a heavy crown I didn't know it would be so hard That my words would mean so much I'm not your priest; I'm not your prophet I'm not a saint; I'm not god, so what now? How did we all get here, and what did we do? How can I lead you when I'm just as weak as you This was built on the backs of the broken and those who need hope How dare we look at them and see praying hands as a means of profit I didn't know it would be so hard That my words could hurt so much I am no leader, but I won't give up on them I'm not your priest; I'm not your prophet Open your eyes and see I'm not a saint; I'm not a god Don't put your faith in me How did we all get here and what did we do? How can I lead you when I'm just as weak as you How did we all get here and what did we do? How can I lead you when I'm just as weak as you (I'm not your priest I'm not your prophet I'm not a saint I'm not a god) How did we all get here and what did we do? How can I lead you when I'm just as weak as you How did we all get here and what did we do? How can I lead you when I'm just as weak as you, just as weak as you

Wading through the waters, slow and thick I am aware now They're not who they said they were Slipping on their words beneath the surface For what it's worth I know I am not the man you were I'm living in the shadows of intent And we're all teeth in the wolf's mouth Risk and regret thrive tonight The masterminds of mud and mire Build your kingdoms up and when they fall We'll be watching every brick Speak with empty voices and knives of glass Easily we're broken 'Cause I believe the words that you speak But never trust the lips that they are leaving For what it's worth we know We're not the men we were We're living in the shadows of intent We've all been teeth in the wolf's mouth Risk and regret thrive tonight The masterminds of mud and mire Build your kingdoms up and when they fall We'll be watching every brick

I'm lost without a sound but I have ears to hear God, I'm weak and I'm tired and I want this fighting in my head to stop They say hang it up, young man They say hate only leaves you cold and alone I'm too jaded to care — too scared to run I let my apathy get the best of me I'm too jaded to care — too scared to run I let my apathy get the best of me Well, Jesus if you can heal, I have the ears to hear (have the ears to hear) Sing a sweet song to my ear 'Cause I pray I haven't fallen too far... I'm too jaded to care — too scared to run I let my apathy get the best of me I'm lost, lost without a sound I'm lost, lost, lost without a sound I'm lost, lost without a sound I'm lost, lost, lost without a sound I'm lost, lost without a sound I'm lost, lost, lost without a sound I'm lost My God if you can heal, I have the ears to hear My God if you can heal, I have the ears to hear My God if you can heal, I have the ears to hear I'm not the same kid I used to be I'm not the man that I need to be Look at what I've become Look at what you've become Look at what we've become Look at what this has made me become
