Absolute Hope Absolute Hell
We could have had it all Before the wells ran dry Before the cities fell Yet we still think It'll all end well Absolute hope, absolute Hell[2x] What's there behind the eyes? Just souls & sulphur Black & cold Strip us to ashes & bone Starving for love, dying alone Watch it suffer Watch it burn Watch it die Dance with the puppetry Hollow silhouettes born of animosity Hung by the rope threaded by the kings Inhuman disaster tearing at the seams Lead us not unto temptation Lead us to the suicide of the fallen nations God of nothing Bring the sheep to the slaughter [2x] Absolute hope, absolute Hell Strip us to ashes & bone & so the apathy spread like cancer Dripping through the beams in the towers Staining the souls of the pacifists Still complacent in the final hour Distracted youth A nation of bullshit status Raked through the teeth Of the corporate apparatus We could have had it all Before the cities fell Yet we still think it'll all end well Absolute hope, absolute Hell[2x] We could have had it all[4x]

Put me in the fucking ground Ugly fucking gods, ugly fucking heroes Bow to your masters Count your worthless fucking zeroes Look me in the eye and tell me I'm a sap Like the trees that leak green gold Suck it out till they all collapse I'm not a victim, at least I never thought I was I'm just a product of my environment Just the salted fucking slug Pocket stuffer, motherfucker, soul stealer, bottom feeder Just put me in the fucking groud Ugly fucking gods, ugly fucking heroes Bow to your masters count your worthless fucking zeroes Watch me wither I'm just the salted fucking slug watch me wither I'm just the salted fucking slug watch me wither I'm just the salted fucking slug born to burn Give unto the pigs what they year Give me hate in your handshake Give me hell in pain I embrace it Born to die Born to rot in a soup of flies Leave me in the pines Let my body become the decay in my mind We all deserve the shovel We all deserve the crown To a kingdom of dirt and devils So just put me in the fucking groud A kingdom of dirt and devils Nothing more, nothing less A kingdom of dirt and devils Nothing is pure, nothing is left.

Home in the absence of light Hammer the rusted nail deeper into my side Fill me with needles and thorns Down to the blone, the grey turns to black The soul of the shapard exposed Ruin Lay the cities to ruin Let the lifeblood envelop the sea In crimson and chaos We are reborn into suffering Saltwound Every night is a night that I wish would end Saltwound Every fight is a fight that I cannot win God is a lie and man is a failure God is a lie and man is a failure I wanna reach out But there's a disconnect Between the ones we love And the ones we neglect The lines gone dead But the receivers tone beats the silence No operator, just hardwired to a world of violence All I ever wanted was the truth That the hell in me is the hell in you Here's the fucking truth Sometimes people should just fucking die Stop pretending that's wrong, stop pretending it's a lie Sometimes people should just fucking die Stop pretending that's wrong, stop pretending it's a lie Saltwound Every night is a night that I wish would end Saltwound Every fight is a fight that I cannot win

Dear devil, we tried to move them We had all the facts They just overruled them Slaves to the gods they see in the mirror Self inflicted prisoners Alone for another winter, cold forever Take everything from them They are nothing but a pile of possessions Empty underneath the rubble Lost in their seflish transgressions Godless Bigot nations, cursed at birth Wealth to wastleands Murder in the first Pencil pushers and prescription poppers Take two and call me when you're numb Or when your mind succumbs Worship your workshops Like thoughtless fucking pigeons with your heads cut off Twitching in a foolish fucking rhythm Oh child don't look away I want you to watch the world die I gave up on living We should all give death a try Every last soul, cast into the fire Watch them burn alive Halos and horns We war the mark of the beast like a crown of thorns Halos and horns We weave a masterpiece of deceit and scorn Oh child don't look away I want you to watch the world die I gave up living We should all give death a try Every last soul, cast into the fire Watch them burn alive Dear devil, I fucking quit You can have this world, it's a piece of shit Dear devil, I fucking quit You can have this world, it's a piece of shit Every last soul, cast into the fire Watch them burn alive

I'd pour a bottle down my throat if it really helped But we know it doesn't It's a fucking copout and I wish it wasn't. Let me sink Into the space between the storm drains So I can hear The trampling on the pavement above No on here No on here Has any thought to question Why we kill Why we kill the things we pretend to love We didn't earn a chance to feel at peace We just pretend we gave it a shot While worlds away the cultures weep As the symbol of the casualties we forgot Who the fuck gave us the pass Alphas in the pig pen Sucking back the feed Like some kind of godsend Let me sink Into the space between the storm drains So I can hear The trampling on the pavement above No on here No on here Has any thought to question Why we kill Why we kill the things we pretend to love Life is a lost cause Lost Lost under the surface Lost No place, no purpose Lost between the dirt and the stones I'd rather lie with the worms then the filth in our homes Let me sink Let me sink

Lay me deep in the mountain Frozen limbs collapse as they climb The impossible horizon My will is broken My eyes have seen what they've always known Every man has a shadow behind him Every soul Every soul has a price in gold Out of breath We've stripped the lungs of its vessels and it's arteries And now we drown in death Numb to the pain of our man made blasphemy We're the ghost in the rivers So ashamed of our own reflection And the demons stare back with eyes as mirrors In a gaze forever fixed in our direction Fire and vine Human and serpent entwined Force down the hand of foul will As the world grows all the things it can kill Lay me deep in the waters Sunken limbs collapse as they try To reach for the shoreline Souls to left wade and wallow Cries of sorrow call my name My will is broken My eyes have seen what they've always known Every man has a shadow behind min Every soul has a price in gold We're the ghost in the rivers So ashamed of our own reflection And the demons stare back with eyes as mirrors In a gaze forever fixed in our direction Fire and vine Human and serpent entwined Force down the hand of foul will As the world grows all the things it can kill

Layers of soil turn to stone long ago And i can't remember when we held each other like brothers Layers of sand eroded the bone long ago And I can't remember why we took the child from the mother Hope is a lie and you bought it Hook, line, and sinker We gave you the out but you just dug in deeper In the pockets of the salesman and the serpent Swarm upon the cowards, frozen in fear How I pray for the end For the end to draw near The ghosts are crying out for us Our ancerstors names are stained with shame Who the fuck wrote the laws of man Man, we should all just burn in the flames Mask maker fuel the furnace Take the dying hearts within your hands Mask maker fill the oceans With skeletons and blackened sand Layers of soil turned to stone long ago And I can't remember when we held each other like brothers Layers of sand eroded the bone long ago And I can't remember why we took the child from the mother I've spent too many nights starving for solace. Reaching for a hand that was never there Sinking deeper into the coldest pit Of self inflicted human despair The ghosts are crying out for us Our ancerstors names are stained with shame Who the fuck wrote the laws of man Man, we should all just burn in the flames Mask maker fuel the furnace Take the dying hearts within your hands Mask maker fill the oceans With skeletons and blackened sand I would rather be a corpse than the man I am Fuck the optimists I would rather be a corpse than the man I am Just another dead fucking pessimist

Mourners in the hallway Don't turn the lights out For they await the passing The devil knows, he always knows How to find out where we hid the lashings Show him your skin Show him your skin He knows the scars come from within Let him in Man is a hollow shell, how easy it breaks So fuck being the victim You live and die by your mistakes Capable fucking failures We let ride, like rookies at the table We let it die, alone in the fallout We deserve the fate we've enabled I am the pariah I am the liar who speaks the truth I am the architect, sewing seeds of change that bear no fruit. Dust, all I taste is blood and dust The fogs are smothering Rust coat the kingdoms in blood and rust The lands are suffering Shower the world in violence Shower the world in violence Fuck all this false sense of security Fuck all the prophets and the parasites that cling to me Fuck all these selfish self-righteous hypocrisy We're nothing more than the demons in our arteries. Man is a hollow shell, how easy it breaks So fuck being the victim You live and die by your mistakes Capable fucking failures We let ride, like rookies at the table We let it die, alone in the fallout We deserve the fate we've enabled I am the pariah I am the pariah

The old man is gone, I hope he's drifting out to sea He always loved to swim away First the bottle, then drugs, then the apathy Maybe he'll an island with a sycamore shaded tree Just like the one in our year Just like when it was him and me Everything you love lets you down Every wish sails away, every ounce of hope drowns Everything you love lets you down Every wish sails away, every ounce of hope drowns

Wish I had known that life lets you down Wish I had known that everyone drowns In a sewer just a puddle of swill and spit And I can't breathe (I can't breathe) Cause it all smells like bullshit We came into this world pure and shining And now we drag through the mud Bitching and whining As machines carry us to other machines To churn the chemicals that kill everything That was once serene It falls on our heads like the axe Like the mortars Like a righteous intervention It falls on our heads Like the rain Like the pain We're the victims of ill intention Denial and consumption Poisoned by our own production Tell me who do we blame When the first turn up dead And the children are born with disfigured heads When the ground won't produce And the leaves don't grow back As the fires burn forever In the lines of smoke stacks Let the lights burn out Squander the resources further The droughts Pretend they'll be a solution as we drown in the swill and polution Life is a cycle of sin and sorrow All we know are the crims we commit Life is a cycle of sin and sorrow We made our bed And now we'll lie in it We made our bed And now we'll lie in it Are we so diluted in this septic tank That we turn to plague and poison Like a temporary savior No whispers of healing No help no warning It falls on our heads Like the axe Like the mortars Like a righteous intervention It falls on our heads Like the rain Like the pain We're the victims of ill intention It falls on our heads The world is dead Swing the axe, it falls on our heads Swing the axe, it falls on our heads The world is fucking dead
