Blood Has Been Shed
Album • 2003
From the moment of birth you were ill-fated You were ill-fated Nothing has changed Living the life of the led Followers, breeders And you are to blame You bear the mark of the beast Wearing benevolence Proud of the blood on your hands Return to the dirt claim it as your own Buried in deepest seas of regret bravado burns the time In your hands open eyes weep for you Ignorance has now become the author of your downfall You will always suffer Ignorance will always be the author of your downfall You will always suffer Why do you suffer?

I can see it I can see it in your eyes That special something when the gods have smiled your way You're so beautiful You're a living pheromone Reflective glory You are the glory Wishes and lust are the air you breathe it all in Born from the vagabonds By your hands, calloused hands of those who adored you How would you really have it any other way? Twenty years is your eternity The masses so far away We all fall like tears We all call your name We all fall like tears

You should have seen this coming from miles and miles away God knows you had your best face forward Soothing the soul with words of solace Spoken like a true devil Change your colors chameleon But I still smell your stench in the morning air The hawk always flies alone over an empty field For the deceiver dual blades to slit the throat Give up the ghost that's all she wrote 35,000 ways to hate you I'll see your forked tongue as my trophy Compromise, compromise I'll be your scapegoat you'll be my sacrificial lamb All lies are truth until your lies are revealed Well look who's bleeding now, who's bleeding Now how does it feel when you are inside the scope? How does it feel to be the game? So look who's bleeding now, who's bleeding How could you foretell your own demise? Fall Babylon fall Death to the obsession

Yeah, let's start all over Let's live a lifetime in the span of moments Closer, drawing close, but your face only slips further away Forgive my selfishness I only want what is rightfully yours Bite my tongue I'll be silent and hope your words will sound like mine Does my perfection make you weary? Are my mistake just a waste of time? Am I just a waste of time? The path I follow has the tell-tale smell of ashes Before it all bursts into flames again I want this life to be worth the the sacrifice I've grown so weary I've grown so weary (I've grown so weary) Why won't you speak to me? (Why won't you speak to me?) I've grown so weary (Why won't you speak to me?) Why won't you speak to me? In the midst of all the heartache look for the roses When destruction tears the world in two Can you find the roses? There must be more than a tear while I'm falling A memory doesn't always cut away No strength to pray for the end The weeds turn to roses

I can't help but remember how our last conversation ended Too much quiet hostility Too much was left unsaid Diamond tears shine brightly in the sunlight There must be resolution The dreams tire me The hope has taken its toll Everything I wanted it all has become a handful of broken glass I'm slipping in pools of failed attempts Coming full circle Coming full circle to end it all I would never have dreamed That constriction would still leave me breathing Worry lines are etched in your face if only they were for me If only they were for us My flame is extinguishing right before your eyes You can ignore that? Smile the way that wins the world Shades of blue and swirling gray Are leaving me helpless There really is very little time left for peace treaties Put your John Hancock on the dotted line and keep a promise this time

I'm wanting, waiting, needing, aching, holding Breathing, watching, stealing, thirsting, gazing I've always been there at a distance Waiting for the day you would notice me And I lied, lied to myself Knowing that I've always hoped for more If you could only see you're stealing my breath away Broad strokes and fine lies Painting a picture never wanted to see It's all too clear, we've only been lying, lying How many times did it all fall down? How many times when there was nothing left? Only then you would see me, how many times? Your heart - your heart of gold is broken Your heart - your heart of gold is broken I wish I could be the name on your lips for only one moment of bliss I wish you could see the paper thin scars I bear for the heart of the golden Your heart is broken Your heart - your heart of gold is broken Wish I could be the name on your lips for only one moment of bliss Wish you could see the paper-thin scars But your heart of gold is broken

Atonement means nothing without change to devour the folly of the past You live to destroy Your words are a cancer And for this you are condemned No more to forgive you will die by my hand You will burn You will burn Burn Burn

The wind whispers your name Your eyes, your face visible through these black days I was never the only one to think of you And remember every look, every word, everything Digging my nails into my palms feeling nothing, but heat With a heavy heart and a trace of guilt I accept this deceit I can't forgive myself and I won't start with you These are the words I live by I will not attempt to to swallow betrayal These are the words I live by These are the words, I wash my hands of all the past There's are the words I live by I am buried alive Your gift at deception He's left me hoping Reacting, choking, gasping for unbreathable air The essence of death Permeates my senses Digging my nails into my palms feeling nothing, but heat With a heavy heart and a trace of guilt I accept this deceit I can't forgive myself and I won't start with you These are the words I live by I will not attempt to to swallow betrayal These are the words I live by These are the words, I wash my hands of all the past There's are the words I live by

Do you have no patience for ignorance, especially your own? Death to the lies, death to all manipulation Do you ever feel that you've won this day But questions, questions arise? Is there a day that's not endless? Is there a day that's not endless? Is there a day that's not endless? Seen through these eyes Seen through these eyes And I am stifled by your silence Infinity drags its feet, each moment a thousand years And each day a lifetime of moments Choking on points and shards When will we ever learn? How does it feel when everything you touch feels so brittle and turns to dust? But you've always had the answer, you always knew Embrace and learn Embrace and learn Embrace and learn Today I embrace and learn Embrace

"I want you to check circuits six through twelve" Each time you break my heart I fall in love again I yearn for the way you prove me wrong Fingers buried in dead skin brings the living back to life once more Carve out the scales and open my eyes I cannot regret that I freely placed my life in your hands Obligatory words have been stripped I lived only for your whispers Yet I never strayed far from the confines of my shallow It's always been that way All my dreams are shattered because all my wishes have now come true Your voice is all I have Slay me, teach gaze, love me Take me, breath, swallow, breathe For you (this love affair will never end) I live this life for you (this love affair will never end) I give this life It was never in vain I have not one regret It was a simple choice

The air is heavy with the acrid taste of deception For all our strength we can barely hold our heads up Were you thinking of me Were you thinking of me as everything fell from grace? And I can't breathe again because the scent still lingers I guess this isn't the time for self loathing Loosen this noose - I'll never speak your name I swear Loosen this noose - I'll never speak your name Loosen this noose And I'll carve a testament of this day in my chest For all the world to see But I won't say a word, and I won't speak your name I won't say a word, I won't speak your name I won't say a word, I won't speak your name
