The world disappeared, but only for an instant Then boundaries died and shape went extinct And the world reappeared as blackness Nothing was something, as huge as a thousand oceans They ripped pages out of books to build their fires They felt the earth vibrating like a newborn child They stripped off all their clothes, they gave themselves new names Even god himself fell apart, life itself became profane Notions of nations became a joke All bodies became beautiful On the day the deaf went blind The world disappeared, but only for an instant Then boundaries died and shape went extinct And the world reappeared as blackness Nothing was something, as huge as a thousand oceans They ripped pages out of books to build their fires They felt the earth vibrating like a newborn child They stripped off all their clothes, they gave themselves new names Even god himself fell apart, life itself became profane They touched grass for the first time They made love with every inch of their bodies On the day the deaf went blind They touched grass for the first time They made love with every inch of their bodies On the day the deaf went blind

In a cage with poisoned bars Filled with snakes and fire You shiver, sweat, and cry I fear the hunger in your eyes In a land with poisoned fruit Filled with viruses and bile Your sobs drowned out by hurricanes Step aboard and feed the flames Sign and seal, hand deliver You have only yourself to blame I will never reconsider Things will never be the same Shoot to kill That's a promise - That's an oath All or nothing - Choosing both It's a habit - It's a sin Born to Lose - Live to Win On the throne of consequence Built on debts and tragedy The hand that bites you back Is ready for attack Under rubbled happiness Buried in a hole of mud Feel your coffin shrink and narrow Chew the bones and suck the marrow Sign and seal, hand deliver You have only yourself to blame I will never reconsider Things will never be the same Shoot to kill That's a promise - That's an oath All or nothing - Choosing both It's a habit - It's a sin Born to Lose - Live to Win Behind the glass you're cut and scarred Suffer with the wicked After all the sweat and piss Only beggars die like this Rape and murder, kiss away Jester crying, children dead Psyche quartered, cut and dried Only craving cyanide Sign and seal, hand deliver You have only yourself to blame I will never reconsider Things will never be the same Shoot to kill That's a promise - That's an oath All or nothing - Choosing both It's a habit - It's a sin Born to Lose - Live to Win Kill!

I''ve got fucking teeth for eyes I am the smell of concentration Bite and chew and never swallow Never close the fist I will only crawl or sprint I will only starve or glut I will only love or kill I'm too big for that cross Don't make me say it I can't even watch All hell broke loose Haunted... Telling lies is getting old But the truth has lost its purpose Inside the torn apart A spiraling self-hate You will only stand and stare You will only cut and run I am only eyes and mouth You only feed my appetite Don't make me say it I can't even watch All hell broke loose Haunted...

I am the ending of a life No getting better now The white zone spilling on the black My patience, my patience running out Fear of god and fear of life I am cut and ready I want to die I am afraid I won't In the torture of a sleepless night While my body rots to blood But this is never what I wanted I'm just begging you to stop My days bleed into weeks All my arms are open This is the blurring of edges The softening of shapes The mercy and forgiveness In death is real Time for you to seal me up And roll the stone into place In the torture of a sleepless night While my body rots to blood But this is never what I wanted I'm just begging you to stop I am the ending of a life No getting better now The white zone spilling on the black My patience running out The mercy and forgiveness In death is real Time for you to seal me up And roll the stone into place In the torture of a sleepless night While my body rots to blood But this is never what I wanted I'm begging, begging, begging you to stop Oh... begging you to stop

Hacking through it - Swinging blades Undercover nightmare killer racing through your veins Cutting corners - Chopping limbs Devil-lover finger-pointer changing all your names Secret weapon - Trapdoor key Vengeance hammer, pay the debt, the bringer of the curse Razor fever - Skin collage Blinder of the sacred and the rapist of the dead No... No...! Running wild - Inside out Cut to pieces, rearranged, then cut to shreds again Forcing entry - Pulling teeth Been here before but I'm sure I don't remember when Eating soil - Burning bridge No one is protected from my whipping discipline Kill the traitors - Kill them all Compost maggot, jack the ripper, paying for your sins No... No...!

Better sleep with one eye open Better check the doors again Murderers will swarm you now Avoid the strangers, fear the friends Enemies in numbers march Half a man in half a house Black betrayer, incest pig Treachery, the mob is on Don't you even make me say it What's on my mind is murder and torture I could never hurt you slowly enough You'll only be safe in your grave Lie force-feeder counterfeit My hands around your throat Shining weapon, alibi Mask, disguise, windows smashed Upstairs creeping, breaking sweat Bedroom open, blade comes down Your blood all over me Laughter, cutting, bleed to death Don't you even make me say it What's on my mind is murder and torture I could never hurt you slowly enough You'll only be safe in your grave Better sleep with one eye open Better check the doors again Murderers will swarm you now Avoid the strangers, fear the friends Enemies in numbers march Half a man in half a house Black betrayer, incest pig Treachery, the mob is on

Am I the enemy? Am I the wound? Is this the only outcome waiting? Am I the poison? Am I the cure? Am I the mirror to your ugly insecurity? Look under rocks Behind closed doors Secret passageways I can't believe Am I the monarch? Am I the slave? Is this a chase for consequnces or naught? Am I the venom? Am I the snake? Am I the emblem of your vicious insincerity? Look under rocks Behind closed doors Secret passageways I can't believe I won't believe Look under rocks Behind closed doors Secret passageways I can't believe Look under rocks Behind closed doors Secret passageways I can't believe I won't believe

Nestled in the petals of accomplishment The naked truth of failure and glaring green Never forgiven and never forgotten Between the poles of infinity and pain And that's all over now Swallowed up as history Reaching for the sky A thousand lives in misery Dead men rise and speak to me now And all my spiralling vision turns to snow Blackout, whiteout, greenout! Eyes burning red I will build palaces with my own rotting bones And that's all over now Swallowed up as history Reaching for the sky A thousand lives in misery Giving away the answers and telling secrets Breathing toxic air and filling our own brains with lies We're all victims and we're all going to suffer We're all in the same sinking ship, but we all die alone And that's all over now Swallowed up as history Reaching for the sky A thousand lives in misery

The beggar takes a wife, takes her right on cue This mountain is growing, growing as I climb Architect of poverty, that crystallized endowment Ripped from home into the wreckage of heaven Hunger hiding behind the sheltered, wicked feast The paradox of consumption: even blood evaporates The child open wide knows his world in one dimension Before he cries that final unconsolable tear Architect of poverty, that crystallized endowment Ripped from home into the wreckage of heaven Hunger hides behind the sheltered, wicked feast The paradox of consumption: even blood evaporates

Tucked away behind a black hole Inside the bleakness of dreaming Obsessed with the ticking of my watch Betrayed by the turning of your head Lured by the shining of promise Into a vortex of eternal tension Unresolved, unresolving, resolute I'm wrapped in the quilt of stars And after all I keep on living And after all I keep forgiving I've seen where the stars go to die Where truth is a serpent and justice a lie This sickness was all it took Even planets are suffering From cauldrons of astral plane Rising, intoxicating fumes Filling myself with the ashes Of an entire burning galaxy Washing myself in the blood Of a thousand, a thousand murdered kings And after all I keep on living And after all I keep forgiving I've seen where the stars go to die Where truth is a serpent and justice a lie Three-headed rescuer passes us by Blood never freezes and tears never dry Seen through the eye of a needle Spectrum, refracted eclipse Spinning meaning from symbols and shapes The great cosmic atrocity In the mystery of intellect In the writhings of chaos Gravity picks its victims All stories end too soon And after all I keep on living And after all I keep forgiving I've seen where the stars go to die Where truth is a serpent and justice a lie Three-headed rescuer passes us by Blood never freezes and tears never dry
