Charred Walls of the Damned
Album • 2011
My hands are grasping, my confidence tearing As those around me soon stop caring My dreams are ending so sudden each day With nothing finding me, making me stay Buying time My life unwinds My grasp on reality It bleeds from cuts with thorns of tragedy Soon to be Floating helplessly in the sea Not knowing where fate takes me Just an empty human being Soon to be Floating helplessly in the sea Not knowing where fate takes me Just an empty human being Sinking down into darkness, falling Into the deep abyss I’m crawling Pull me up to the light of day, won’t you Into the safety of your arms, holding My sensory, overloaded with memories Rational though is now serving me Buying time My life unwinds Soon to be Floating helplessly in the sea Not knowing where fate takes me Just an empty human being Soon to be Floating helplessly in the sea Not knowing where fate takes me Just an empty human being Sinking down into darkness, falling Into the deep abyss I’m crawling Pull me up through the unknown Sinking in sands of inharmony Eyes filled with future’s wrath Stepping out from my distant past Into the now when life burns fast Soon to be Floating helplessly in the sea Not knowing where fate takes me Just an empty human being Soon to be Floating helplessly in the sea Not knowing where fate takes me Just an empty human being Soon to be Floating helplessly in the sea Not knowing where fate takes me Just an empty human being Soon to be Floating helplessly in the sea Not knowing where fate takes me Just an empty human being

Traces of death coming from the skies They’re destroying, so why can’t i? I see the ashes of life float away In my home I can no longer stay Quickening their own mortality through foolish addictive needs I want no part of this sickened wish from all around floats death’s gray mist Ashes falling upon us, my body scarring me from inside Ashes falling upon us, I will not let this die Ashes... Ashes... Ashes... Ashes... How many times have I tried to end this attack on my within Every moment trying to avoid the air around me that it destroys Running through a gauntlet of haze and mist Inside of me it now lives Twisting my lungs, threatening my life Slicing through me with invisible knives Ashes falling upon us, my body scarring me from inside Ashes falling upon us, I will not let this die Ashes... Ashes... Ashes... Ashes... Set me free from this grey misery I’m a slave to this death surrounding me Set me free from this grey misery I’m a slave to this death surrounding me Set me free from this grey misery I’m a slave to this death surrounding me Set me free from this grey misery I’m a slave to this death surrounding me

Trapped in this technical world so fake How can I release me? I’ve caused my reality to break Unplug that which binds me Chained in this web I can’t think anymore No time for ideas – it’s real life I ignore Concerned with the soulless, a social cocoon No oxygen for my mind to bloom Trapped in this technical world so fake How can I release me? I’ve caused my reality to break Unplug that which binds me Reaching into my own self Pulling out pieces of me Scraping bits of my damaged mind Healing thoughts, who I should be? I’ve crashed my brain with technology Losing my thoughts I’ve entered virtual reality Human I’m not I’ve cut off ties to humanity Myself I fought No desire for interaction, I am lost Inside this web, I am caught Aware of this distractions, I am not Closing my eyes, to original thought I can’t control my ideas, it owns me now Absorbed into the world of inside out I look down and all I see Is a new world in front of me I come crashing back to earth Realizing my rebirth Reaching into my own self Pulling out pieces of me Scraping bits of my damaged mind Healing thoughts, who I should be? I’ve crashed my brain with technology Losing my thoughts I’ve entered virtual reality Human I’m not I’ve cut of ties to humanity Myself I fought
I will carve this message in my chest To leave those who choose not to forget I feel, and I see, and I need, this frozen hand in front of me I will not harm those who disturb my rest Those whom the all-knowing ones detest I feel, and I see, and I need, this frozen hand in front of me Can’t you see, the cold and rage inside of me? Can’t you believe, that I’m the one that you’ve set free? I’m freezing, release me I’m freezing Cold winds searching Cold winds learning How to wear me down When to hit the ground Cold winds searching Cold winds learning How to wear me down When to hit the ground! Winter stirs inside of me, chilling now the air I breathe When am I finally set free? A new season please let it be A new season for me... Cold winds searching Cold winds learning How to wear me down When to hit the ground Cold winds searching Cold winds learning How to wear me down When to hit the ground Cold winds now...

Ritual beliefs, uniting those who dare Some destined to kill, others unaware Skeletons stand, in the shadow of man A bond formed with their bleeding hands Under cold gray skies, we are left behind Joined life, memories they now will rise Coming together with a solemn face Free of expression, thoughts, and hate When others fail us, unclean fears of new Draining souls of all tales untrue A shroud of pain yet flesh remains There is no hope, no shelter in the rain Lead the way from this dark reprise Set me free Lead the way so that I can find Make me believe Lead the way to the tranquil seas Up through the deep Lead the way into soul reprieve Hope is all we need Sinking teeth trough skin, in the sky so grim Falling to the death, yet living again Waking self-torment, in the light that you’ve sent! Divinity trough suffering eternally Only light from above will end this grief Creating shadows in an empty space Blessing our souls with an unknowing grace Feeding from blood cursed through sins of mankind Devouring innocents who waste their lives Burning ships sail through the safety of night Immortal cursed now hiding from the daylight! When others fail us, unclean fears of new Draining souls of all tales untrue A shroud of pain yet flesh remains There is no hope, no shelter in the rain Lead the way from this dark reprise Set me free Lead the way so that I can find Make me believe Lead the way to the tranquil seas Up through the deep Lead the way into soul reprieve Hope is all we need Sinking teeth trough skin, in the sky so grim Falling to the death, yet living again Waking self-torment, in the light that you’ve sent

Marching on forward, together we are one In the desolate streets our notes they blend Beating down on us the autumn sun Far from streets familiar Counting on the one to guide the way A massive weight now rests upon my shoulders No matter the pain, I cannot break The rhythm of our pounding feet The music filling empty streets In unity and pride we’ll take These memories into our graves Yet still I feel the strength to keep marching on Far from streets familiar Counting on the one to guide the way A massive weight now rests upon my shoulders The rhythm of our pounding feet The music filling empty streets In unity and pride we’ll take These memories into our graves One day I’ll look back and realize The importance of this, our time Together we created our moment in the sun When we all became one... Far from streets familiar Counting on the one to guide the way A massive weight now rests upon my shoulders No matter the pain, I cannot break The rhythm of our pounding feet The music filling empty streets In unity and pride we’ll take These memories into our graves The rhythm of our pounding feet The music filling empty streets In unity and pride we’ll take These memories into our graves Forever, marching on under the clear skies Forever, marching on and on through life Forever, marching we are now as one Forever, marching under eternity’s fading sun Forever, marching on and on and on

Taking hold not so long ago (not so long ago) This heartless beast possessing me Unaware of what is inside me Please set me free from this pain I see Feeding and flowing through rivers of red Clouding my vision and the thoughts in my head Seeds of this misery, planted inside of me Under the surface they now patiently wait Clouding my judgment as my mind they sedate Seeds of this misery, planted inside of me My demons are guiding me From below they are spawning They’re tearing and clawing Waiting to be set free From below they are spawning They’re tearing and clawing at me Keeping me awake at night Piercing brain and robbing my sight Please set me free, from this pain I see Destroying my body and leaving me torn Not willing to die, every day I’m reborn Seeds of this misery, planted inside of me My demons are guiding me From below they are spawning They’re tearing and clawing Waiting to be set free From below they are spawning They’re tearing and clawing at me Clawing out at my chest, yeah It’s now time to begin again I will not let this darkness win My demons are guiding me From below they are spawning They’re tearing and clawing Waiting to be set free From below they are spawning They’re tearing and clawing at me My demons are guiding me Waiting to be set free

I am greeted by you in the morning light Staring through my window for a lifetime Rising up from the river’s depths It’s your presence I’ve learned to accept Never thought that you would be Something that each day I’d see My dreams become reality Every time you carry me Over the storm (oh...) Over the pain (oh...) Into the rain (oh...) At the end of the day (oh...) Over the waves (oh...) Over the depths (oh...) Into my home (oh...) Trust that I’ve kept Running through your shadows Into seeds of life that never grew Walking past the winter’s grasp Onto trails that renew our past Haunted by the beast outside my window... Towering, watching over all that I know... Haunted by the beast outside my window... Rising, reaching from the dark cold depths below... You’ve been hammered and tread upon countless times Standing tall and unhurt, made of scars you rise Nothing that could ever break The bond between us, eternally linked Over the waves (oh...) Over the depths (oh...) Into my home (oh...) Trust that I’ve kept Running through your shadows Into seeds of life that never grew Walking past the winter’s grasp Onto trails that renew our past Haunted by the beast outside my window... Towering, watching over all that I know... Haunted by the beast outside my window... Rising, reaching from the dark cold depths below...

I see the world of pain Some say they are insane Only the rage remains Can this all be explained? They’re crawling out of the woods They are all misunderstood You know that they’ve lost their way But who are we to say This is their sacred place It’s here they have to stay On unclean ground they pray Through the window a silver of light Nightmare reflected in their eyes All around lives covering the ground When will their way be found? They’re crawling out of the woods They are all misunderstood You know that they’ve lost their way The pain’s too much to take Thrown aside by twist of fate Healing hands come much too late Mental storms that isolate Fires burning their time to dust Soulless cages now surrounded by rust... They’re crawling out of the woods They are all misunderstood You know that they’ve lost their way They’re crawling out of the woods They are all misunderstood You know that they’ve lost their way

As I watch you lying twisted, blue green and red Agony and thoughts of years past run through my head I curse the ones who put you in pain Are hope and time the only cure that remains? Watching you hurt pierces my heart with a knife How can something so pure be taken away from my life? I always knew that this day would come But now it’s here, it’s left my body numb So scared to walk through that door Afraid you won’t be there any more I’d give my own life to save yours Your suffering has my heart torn Please don’t give up I’m right here with you I’m trying so hard to help you live Only another day and you’ll be fine I’m giving all that I can give Reality it starts to set in I think of all the times I don’t win But this fight won’t stop, no I won’t lose my control Until I no longer breathe, you’ll own a piece of my soul Watching you hurt pierces my heart with a knife How can something so pure be taken away from my life? I always knew that this day would come But now it’s here, it’s left my body numb So scared to walk through that door Afraid you won’t be there any more I’d give my own life to save yours Your suffering has my heart torn

Worshiping those without a soul Living life with no control... Wasting time as the earth moves past Noting this empty will last Entering a world shallow, sinking ever again so low So admire the heroes, the endangered ones Follow the inspired, under the rising sun Take care of the wounded, battles they have won Brave ones saving lives, honor deeds they’ve done Admire the heroes, shut out the dark souls Admire the heroes, shut out the dark souls Admire the heroes, shut out the dark souls So know you know, admire the heroes Empty minds feeding those who hate Fighting over a worthless face Soon forgotten, a fleeting glance Eating the conscience of those who chance So admire the heroes, the endangered ones Follow the inspired, under the rising sun Take care of the wounded, battles they have won Brave ones saving lives, honor deeds they’ve done Admire the heroes, shut out the dark souls Admire the heroes, shut out the dark souls Admire the heroes, shut out the dark souls So know you know, admire the heroes

I’m shielding myself from the unseen above Attacking my skin I cannot run I am useless it seems to have won This agonizing fight with the sun Every day spent forevermore Dreading every scar and every sore Can’t face the day in this helpless state Eating away at me as I mutate Covering myself Disfiguring myself Hiding somewhere else Fighting against myself I’ll avoid the light, as it chases me I’ll avoid the light, as it wastes me I’ll avoid the light, burning deep in me I’ll avoid the light, cutting meat from me Icy razors shooting into my skin Cuts so deep exposing the blood within Healing now the signs show in my face Hiding in shadows, darkness encased Eating through my flesh Fighting to stop its spread I’ll avoid the light, as it chases me I’ll avoid the light, as it wastes me I’ll avoid the light, burning deep in me I’ll avoid the light, cutting meat from me From now on I will stay in the dark Keep the sun from making its black mark Always watching for its faceless wrath Keeping distance from its deadly grasp I’ll avoid the light, as it chases me I’ll avoid the light, as it wastes me I’ll avoid the light, burning deep in me I’ll avoid the light, cutting meat from me
