The Sea of Tragic Beasts
Carved in concrete Castles and chapels They all play God when the sun is out Crawling through cracks Vermin and villains They all creep in when our guard is down Sleep in the slums tonight Beneath the hum of the city lights A targeting nuisance Once you've tasted grief The promise of peace is fruitless Tearing holes in the story No return to glory How they hide from the harsher truths Who are you running from? Where are you running to? Are you terrified To face the fate you designed? Brick by brick the end is coming quick Such a swift demise Are you terrified To stare into the eyes Of a man that feeds on violence? A man that fears no tyrant? The blood seeps into our dreams Where we dance on the ashes of the fallen kings The blood seeps into our dreams And the hell in your mind is now your reality The hell in your mind is now your reality The highest horses Of seven kingdoms All get put down when their time runs out Tides will turn Towers to tombstones Masters are merely men When the sun goes down No man is without fear When faced with unyielding force They always tremble Power doesn't make you less of a coward Are you terrified To face the fate you designed? Brick by brick the end is coming quick Such a swift demise Are you terrified To stare into the eyes Of a man that feeds on violence? A man that fears no tyrant? The blood seeps into our dreams Where we dance on the ashes of the fallen kings The blood seeps into our dreams And the hell in your mind is now your reality

Screams from the embers of the fire A fading light of a lost empire Collapsed in timeless haze Lanterns below the caves Shine no light for the shadow man The path to amnesty Littered in unmarked graves The innocent swallowed in sand The hand that grasps for life Severed clean by the knife With every cut so deep How sound the sheltered sleep Deaf ears to the ring of the siren's call I hear they sing in heaven We'll never hear the song Your pain is mine I am you in another life Your pain is mine We were one long ago Before the earth stole our souls Your pain is mine Every god says farewell to their sons When the bombs come, run Isolation in a swarm of bullets Another infant chokes on the halos of smoke I never saw the truth but now I know it Consume our sanity We've torn apart society The hand that grasps for life Severed clean by the knife With every cut so deep How sound the sheltered sleep Deaf ears to the ring of the siren's call I hear they sing in heaven We'll never hear the song Your pain is mine I am you in another life Your pain is mine We were one long ago Before the earth stole our souls Painted pictures always seem serene But the reality is much harsher to see And I need you to know That help is out of my reach Or at least believe me I wished that you'd find peace But there's no action in a thought Simply lost at sea Of undeniable complacency and treachery And I plead that you were given just a chance to be free Maybe in time, but know I tried Your pain is mine Run like your life depends on it Because one day it will I'm sorry child The world wasn't there to pick up the pieces It never will

I never cast the first stone But I'm buried in rubble The weight of a wretched world is enough to make any man crumble I never asked for forgiveness So I am given no end to my struggle A failure of flesh Lay my soul to rest By the bitter blood, I remain unloved Unloved Unloved By the bitter blood, I remain unloved All that is low will always linger Beneath the surface of calloused skin So go and point your fucking finger But you should know that I am what I've always been Unloved Unloved Unloved By the bitter blood, I remain unloved Hate is the only gift from God Unloved By the bitter blood, I will remain unloved By the bitter blood, I will remain

Will they mourn for me? A dying memory Will they mourn for me? A dying memory This shall not pass The grip of guilt sinks its claws in your back The light retracts Unforgiving and black I see the face of destruction Our soil never settles Our conscience never clean Our prayers are nothing but empty apologies One with the worms That crawl in the dirt Comfort in the embrace of snakes My father, my plague Old ghosts of agony Will they mourn for me? A dying memory Will they mourn for me? A dying memory This shall not pass The stain of grief on eyes of glass A man who only knows his path Will walk alone And bury his soul for sanity Our soil never settles Our conscience never clean Our prayers are nothing but empty apologies Love is not stronger than death Lightless, we sift through the silence Secretly begging for rest The hope we resist As IVs drip A conciseness of the waiting rooms' emptiness Comfort in the embrace of snakes My father, my plague Blinded by rage Darkness our only escape Bloodletting, sealing our fate Unforgiven Love is not stronger than death Another hospital, another year of regret Buried in the pain of my past Old ghosts of agony A dying memory Will they mourn for me? A dying memory Will they mourn for me? A dying memory

When the fuck did everyone decide to become a politician? Cannibals with causes armed with opinions All you do is talk like you forgot how to fucking listen I try to sleep but the dogs keep barking Must be the tension in the room It builds a rage in the back of the teeth A distaste for civility Compromise is cheap, conflict is sweet The space between us filled with dead air Party lines drawn in the sand We could never cross it Bastards of social warfare We had the chance to survive but we fucking lost it Traitors turning fiction to fact (Turning fiction to fact) The ones who play the saint put the knife in your back (Put the knife in your back) Daggers rain down on the disciples Daggers rain down on the disciples All we know Warfare When the fuck did everyone decide to become a politician? All you do is talk like you forgot how to fucking listen Herdsplitter, left and right Bring an army of fools to a winless fight Herdsplitter, rich and poor Turn a nation of fools into a nation at war We go for the throat We do what we're told Another day in the minefield Another lie is sold And we buy in Playing the penny slots while they high roll Another day in the minefield Another lie is sold The space between us fills with dead air Party lines drawn in the sand We could never cross it Bastards of social warfare We had the chance to survive but we fucking lost it Traitors turning fiction to fact (Turning fiction to fact) The ones who play the saint put the knife in your back (Put the knife in your back) Daggers rain down on the disciples Daggers rain down on the disciples Warfare

Eyes in the sky have you under control The inner light collapses in the blackest of the black holes A sacrifice of body and soul To the great leviathan that swallows us whole The mouth is sewn shut, it cannot protest The hands are shackled, it cannot resist The brain is poisoned, it cannot question Numb enough to function through mental repression Fear is the perfect prison Manipulate the model citizen Abuse of power The final hour A crushing pressure to fall in line As the machine grinds to a halt for the last time Birds of prey Fly too close to the sun And as the wings of the phoenix burn The world will come undone Eyes in the sky have you under control The inner light collapses in the blackest of the black holes A sacrifice of body and soul To the great leviathan that swallows us whole Paralyzed We cower in the face of our demise The parasite that consumes the will to live from the inside Oh, wretched life void of serenity A paradise turned to atrocity Slowly conditioned to feel no sympathy Failing future, moral slavery Fear is the perfect prison Manipulate the model citizen Abuse of power The final hour A crushing pressure to fall in line As the machine grinds to a halt for the last time To the abyss We surrender the fire to exist Leviathan Swallower of sin We end where we begin In nothingness We end where we begin In nothingness We end where we begin In nothingness We end where we begin In nothingness

Seven oceans, seven sins Seven billion souls that swim Back to the bottom Like fiends to the flames We sink to Sodom Parallel rivers shall not entwine Hope and hell Oil and wine Run forth to the sea In disharmony We burn together I cling to napalm dreams Where we breathe in the ether of misery Eden is a garden of fire Eden is a funeral pyre We live through centuries of storms In awe at the terrors of the earth We give nothing in return We squander all that it was worth All i wanted was a way out Of the everlasting cold I cling to napalm dreams Where we breathe in the ether of misery Eden is a garden of fire Eden is a funeral pyre Why do my sins Circle like locusts around me? Searching for a way back in What's even under my skin But the marrow and meat of self-defeat That eats into this skeleton? Everyone loves you when you're dead or dying But the earth owes you nothing, just a hole to die in And all I wanted was a way out All I wanted was a way out All I wanted was a way out All I wanted was a way out (All I wanted was a way out) All I wanted was a way out All I wanted was a way out (All I wanted was a way out) All I wanted was a way out All I wanted was a way out (All I wanted was a way out) All I wanted was a way out All I wanted was a way out All I wanted was a way out All I wanted was a way out All I wanted was a way out All I wanted was a way out
