Where Death Is Most Alive
As in the life of rain You're only alive when you're falling The coldest chill In the emptiness of reason You brought it upon yourself It's slow but final with nothing to gain You brought it upon yourself It's slow but final, it begins today So light up the days With the darkest of waking dreams For endless puzzles To reflect our aim You brought it upon yourself It's slow but final with nothing to gain You brought it upon yourself It's slow but final, it starts today It seems you've passed the mark Of indescribable dark I fear you've drowned In hope of what you think will come Extracted from the sharpest of moments Built to greet you when the time will come Empty spaces on foundations of denial Your structure is dust As in the death of dream Awakenings will leave you stranded Where no one is listening Where no one is around You brought it upon yourself It's slow but final with nothing to gain You brought it upon yourself It's slow but final, it begins today

I don't mind the fall It's the climb from the bottom That hurts the most Here today, a stab of emptiness Divert your eyes From the judgemental stares So nonforgiving Yet what do they know What have they seen I cannot do it I plunge myself against the rocks of ice Helldriven hounds now on my trail To play apart Uphold a bland facade Do the expected If only nothing remained Of facts and furies These are the seconds That will not be forgotten This is the time What have i done What if they know I cannot do it Eyes on the prize Yet never tell them In shadows hide it What eyes can tell How well you know Familiar urges The same old place Where you will know it And they will pay

It twists and turns Into something that is not to be What truth is left What's abandoned as the life flew by Our words are broken Commit to sacrifice Betrayal of the code Thrust into nothingness No truth, no lie Our words are broken Our subconscious bias Confirms what we already believe There is no message, there is no value We give shelter to our false ideas Commit to sacrifice Betrayal of the code Thrust into nothingness Tear our thoughts into splinters Set the sense forced to remember Words get thrown out of focus As we test our will Dissolve to nothing Break all bounds of unfair holding Track this line to journey's end We're breaking, we're breaking down Our words are broken Commit to sacrifice Betrayal of the code Thrust into nothingness No truth, no lie (No truth, no lie) Our sacrifice (No truth, no lie) Betray the code (No truth, no lie) Into nothingness (No truth, no truth…)

This is a ghost town, alive with the echoes of failures fled Lit up by shining faces that parade these streets What used to be of humility is gone You walk the mounds of skull and bones Where living is denied, I see more movement in decomposition Than in those hollow eyes It is the only place I know Where death is most alive It is when truth is turned to lie That death is most alive Set flame to the ensnarers and pierce that ornate shield Branded by what claims you, you wear the mark of death Tear from loss and agony, a character defined Stripped of all but tragedy, what life is left to find? Go now, until there's nothing left Go now, the dying has begun It is the only place I know Where death is most alive It is when truth is turned to lie That death is most alive So I flee from all that is me To hide behind this pale dead face Whatever happened to desire, want and need? Whatever happened to integrity? Imagination is a curse in all of this Whatever happened to the ones left behind? This is a ghost town of bodies dragged through endless streets Go now, to never return I've seen more pitiful humiliation than you could never hide It is the only place I know Where death is most alive It is when truth is turned to lie That death is most alive

Dreamt up a new word today With my ignorance I gave it meaning Who was I to know? To say it is to know it To hear it is to believe, is to believe I dreamt the world would end I was not wrong to doubt, to discredit The other words I've heard before From inside a shell pretending It's all you've shown your faith And what you've always known So lay your trust in the unthinkable It's time to justify your lesser faith It's all your faith has shown And all you'll ever know Why do you matter? You're insignificant How can you justify your lesser faith? To know it is to fear it To fear it is to say "no", is to say "no" To the blazing highs and lows I know I'll fail to break, to cast it down You take your lead From a staff that must be broken in two It's all your faith has shown And all you'll ever know Why do you matter? You're insignificant How can you justify your lesser faith?
