Hellbound
If it all went away tomorrow Would there be anything worthy of the salvage Or would the world be swallowed by the sea A blissful silence in return of harmony And would there be any need for possession Cultured regret The lost of progress The passing of the flesh Marrow to market Burn for the treasure But remember the children who won't have it any better than this What has been left for them Where there once was hope Now there is only pain The great gift of the world Have you felt the hope leave you? The guiding light It recedes as fast all Dark days They welcome you into a body Beaten and raw So polluted and vile Broken dreams and fractured minds Twisted tongues Swallow the blood back They swallow the light We drink of the wine And eat of the bread But we're starving Undeserving of death No, we will not find heaven We will not find our place We will not find the light We will not find our way Where there once was hope Now there is only pain The great gift of the world In life It rots a man from the inside In death We escape an existence in vain And in time Where could we hide When the soul is the cancer It consumes It yearns for more Conditioned to thrive in the slaughter Our sons and daughters will mourn for the martyrs we betrayed A murderer's mind A murderer's hands Cursed I walk with man Covered in the blood The blood of the lamb Now you see the hope leave you Was the guiding light ever there at all? Or were the flames The bellows of hell The calling for the desperate The symbol of the fall No, we will not find heaven We will not find our place We will not find the light We will not find our way Where there once was hope Now there is only pain The great gift of the world

[feat. Nate Rebolledo of XIBALBA] How the fuck did it come to this? What makes an honest man hate this town? Last letters lost in the abyss Just a spark without a sound What are we left with in the end? Poverty and no self worth Bleeding for a shed of redemption As the hate turns to hurt And all we love And all the purest things we hold dear Will turn to dust an disappear Sins of our forefathers Cast down to the sons Pave the way for victims and villains Fractured by fraud Governed by none Do you feel save? Do you feel free? Do you feel discarded by a two-faced society? The system is dead Gun to my head I've got the way out What are we left with in the end? Poverty and no self worth Bleeding for a shed of redemption As the hate turns to hurt And all we love And all the purest things we hold dear Will turn to dust an disappear Sins of our forefathers Cast down to the sons Pave the way for victims and villains Fractured by fraud Governed by none Do you feel save? Do you feel free? Hang a flag half-mast for me If it makes you feel better, but know The system is dead Gun to my head I've got the way out So watch and learn you fucking coward This will hurt someone

For shepherds we shall be Leaders and liars cultivating the weak Numb and trembling, hand in hand Cowards we walk in shame Bound to possessions like a noose on our throats We deserve to choke upon the ash and sand Sink the structures of a modern wasteland Ripe with propaganda and prejudice The failed mechanics of man We play the part The dawn of the hollow heart Sick, sad world No one can save us Let it all drown in a river of blood For shepherds we shall be Leaders and liars cultivating the weak Numb and trembling, hand in hand Cowards we walk in shame Bound to possessions like a noose on our throats We deserve to choke And maybe I'm a cynic But its just too clear And maybe I'm a monster But I refuse to live in fear of a world that hates me I wish it would all just disappear Though I may bear the burden We all share the shame Together we fail We all fan the flamesWe all wear the mask We all know his name Do you see him? He walks as one with you Do you see the Devil inside of you? Do you see him? He stands in step with you Do you see the Devil inside of you? Do you see him?

Mountains of bones Piled high for the picking Lift our skin to the sky The tremors wonât end This is just the beginning Unwanted fruit of the harvest Stillborn and barely living The cries of the abandoned Stuck between the teeth A life so fucking sickening I watched them burn alive in front of me I watched them take my life out from under me For nothing We are nothing An iron furnace Filled with ashes of our once great aspirations This is not what weâre meant to be Scarred and blinded My eyes have seen all they can see Born with burden Place the blame on destiny Shattered cemented hearts Sink like stones Swept through the currents They wander through the mountains of bones I watched them burn alive in front of me I watched them take my life out from under me For nothing We are nothing Hellbound Take down narrow paths An atlas crafted by desperate hands Never revel in the glory of our past Those lost direction Mountains of bones Piled high for the picking Lift our skin to the sky The tremors wonât end This is just the beginning Unwanted fruit of the harvest Stillborn and barely living The cries of the abandoned Stuck between the teeth A life so fucking sickening The tremors wonât end Dilated eyes In hospital beds Filled with dead dreams And dead friends Take me away from this life So fucking sickening The tremors wonât end The tremors wonât end

Dead in the dirt leave me be Now I breathe the air that the demons breathe And they sing to me So don't pull me up From the bottom The filth I need to stay I've been to the surface Oh, and its just pushed me away Further from grace What a disgusting fucking place We've carved into the landscape Stuffed with disease and decay Bleeding out as clear as day Hell has it's hooks in me So bury me in the back of the forest Down in the mud I'll find my peace Just bury me in the back of the forest And don't ever come looking for me I'll find my peace Hell has it's hooks in me Dead in the dirt Leave me be Now I breathe the air that the demons breathe And they sing to me So don't pull me up From the bottom The filth I need to stay I've been to the surface Oh, and its just pushed me away So bury me in the back of the forest Down in the mud I'll find my peace Just bury me in the back of the forest And don't ever come looking for me Hell has it's hooks in me

[feat. Brook Reeves of Impending Doom] Show them violence There is torment Behind every smiling face Overfed, overbred rats in a losing race Pennies in fountains Beneath the holy mountains Still water in the basins of sick floating faces Ignorance is not bliss It's just the burden we drag The march of the blind Get in line Under the shadow of a flag Once a symbol of hope Now a tool for tyrants Bound by the ropes Once reserved for the violent Dreamless nights spent staring at the ceilings Complacent in defeat Numb to the feeling Stringing memories together As if they had meaning There is nothing here worth keeping There is torment Behind every smiling face Overfed, overbred rats in a losing race Look at the world through the eyes of a man Who won't stand for the shit he's been given Who is intimidated by religion Or the fucking television And it's distorted vision Or a life that defines the need for violence Show them the violence Drag them through the streets Act in violence Show them the violence Drag them through the streets Ignorance is not bliss It's just the burden we drag The march of the blind Get in line Under the shadow of a flag Once a symbol of hope Now a tool for tyrants Bound by the ropes Once reserved for the violent Dreamless nights spent staring at the ceilings Complacent in defeat Numb to the feeling Stringing memories together As if they had meaning There is nothing here worth keeping We walk on Steady towards the sun Unhappy with our lives And all that we have done So I will see you On the other side of the night Waiting for silence To bring an end to this life

This is the bottom of the barrel Love and pain become one and the same The gift of life The curse of death They pay for their lives with their bones and their flesh Dreams lie like diamond rings Babies and all the pretty things And like it always does The bad just gets worse Hold them close Between the worlds There is sorrow in the sky I hope it haunts you Until the day you die Scream their names into the sky An innocent soul We say goodbye And carve their names into the rock An innocent heart that world forgot Show me your true face Show me how ugly you really are Mother inferior Lost voices in fields of ghostly silhouettes Whispering the words of hell Ever so softly in the ears of the children Sending them to sleep in their cradles of ice Show me your true face Show me how ugly you really are Mother inferior I hope it haunts you Until the day that you die The whispers of the children in their cradles of ice

[feat. Vincent Bennett of The Acacia Strain] Human nature is the enemy Reaper in tow Sickle in hand No gardens will grow On squandered land We are all dead growth Reaping all that we have sown Rooted in your youth Buried with bones The secrets they keep Seep through the cracks in our homes Here lies your mother Born of this soil Once famous for her beauty Let a rotting corpse Here lies our father Born of this oil Forged in the flames We burn with no remorse Instincts Of the selfish To pillage Nothing left to salvage Architects of destruction Instincts Of the foolish To follow Liars as they ravage The fruits of a fallen nation American desolation We only shit where we eat Licking the plate clean Such a modern convenience A four course meal For anyone not listening Romantic dinners for two The parasites and you Human nature is the enemy Reaper in tow Sickle in hand No gardens will grow On squandered land We are all dead growth Reaping what we have sown Rooted in your youth Buried with bones The secrets they keep Seep through the cracks in our homes Disgusting fucking human appetite Cultivating the lands of desolation Disgusting fucking human appetite Fear the end of your exploitations

[feat. Danny Leal of Upon A Burning Body] I saw the sun rise for the the last time I watched it leave the Earth and leave us all behind All the poor children Will ever know The strength of their innocence How quickly it goes God's special little creatures Could they have saved us from your poorly plotted arrogance? Now they inherit the land The blackest of all plagues No one will visit their graves Not even dirt can be saved Is it so foolish to think That we don't all sink to the same place? And to the travelers I ask Will you show me hell? Have you met the devil? I want to meet him, too I want to ask him about God Why he's abandoned you Why he's left me alone With nothing left to love Why he's taken the world from us While he hides above And travelers say: Son Are you so blind you cannot see? What little from the world can you offer me? What's even left to take? What kind of argument can you make? What are you really trying to save? Because all I see is a world in decay I wish the cold would break But the winds keep coming To draw back the light The dead weep for the world tonight And I see him now As the sun sets for the last time A reflection of my broken self Burning the lake of fire We all carry our demons And we make this world our hell This world is our hell The dead weep for the world tonight
