Dead Spirit, Pt.1
Ignore the masses, the fall, the writings on the wall Keep chasing demons in the dark, ignore the devil you know A call to arms, it's time to pick a side When fear will divide only hate can unite From fear we divide, in hate we unite We're broken, the damage is done Just hold your breath and wait for the flood Now forced to silence by words from a gun No turning back from the path we run We are the broken ones with the stolen tongues We are the silence in the roar We seek a force we can trust, we see your fangs in disgust We are the broken ones with the stolen tongues We are the colors drained away These are the wounds that will never dry As long as we're walking the edge of the knife In a battle of nerves nothing's ever won That's the prize to pay if you just stick to your guns Manipulation by twisting the words used for separation To build up your heard We are the broken, we are the broken, we are the broken We are broken, pushing lines in the dirt And tightening the noose til you choke on your words Remember that violence is just for the weak Sometimes silence is golden and talking is cheap Keep on pointing the blame yet the outcome's the same just abandon your final pretense And realize with every action there's a consequence It's time to stop this addiction to feed the affliction that soon will devour us all Down to the core, written all over these walls We are the broken ones with the stolen tongues We are the silence in the roar We are the broken ones with the stolen tongues We are the silence in the roar We seek a force we can trust, we see your fangs in disgust We are the broken ones with the stolen tongues We are the colors drained away These are the wounds that will never dry As long as we're walking the edge of the knife

I'm killing the messenger I've got a lead there is a system Who's pulling the strings? Who's cutting my wings? As time reveals a sky above the clouds are fading, fading, fading I cannot die, I will not go! So many sleepless nights This flame has withered more than you ever know So many sudden awakenings Up in a high and down in a low So many sleepless nights, so many sudden awakenings This disease eats me up from within The sickness locks me in, there's no escape for me This is it I will not be afraid I'm not giving in no, I'm not giving in Oh, I know now that it is done for me Escape the void, be free I need to know which way it could go Where is that solid ground where I can hold my crown I'm sick of living in a fucking nightmare, I will never go So many sleepless nights This flame has withered more than you ever know So many sudden awakenings Up in a high and down in a low This disease eats me up from within The sickness locks me in, there's no escape for me This is it, I will not be afraid I'm not giving in, I said I'm not fucking giving in The hell I sing keeps reminding me, there's no escape for me Won't lie I'd rather be sick Yes, I'd rather be sick than follow your lead Yes, I'd rather be sick than follow your lead, yeah This disease eats me up from within The sickness locks me in, there's no escape for me This is it I will not be afraid I'm not giving in, I said I'm not fucking giving in I'm not looking for a remedy The sickness locks me in, there's no escape for me I feel it buried underneath my skin I'd rather be sick, than follow your lead I'd rather be sick, than follow your lead

Load up your guns, everyone is your enemy Take me to the woods, drain me and bury me Let them know we were here first, show them all we were here first Dig through your preconceptions and you will see Everything is rotten, from the roots to the leaves Let them know we were here first, show them all we were here first The storms of a rugged past around your head Everything you see is now colored in red No one is welcome, no one is enough With your back at the bottom you are forced to look up Let them know we were here first, show them all we were here first Under the surface upside down, the loneliest place around Where is your heart every time, I see you on red alert? So, you think you're getting something you don't deserve In the end you still get what you gave in return No one is welcome, no one is enough With your back at the bottom you are forced to look up Let them know you were here first, show them all you were here first Under the surface upside down, the loneliest place around Where is your heart every time, I see you on red alert? You fall for the red alert, you fall for the red alert Where is your heart every time, I see you on red alert? Open your eyes, hey, can't you see?

You can’t hurt a ghost when there’s no skin or bones You brought out some serious darkness. Your strings attached to us like chains All the years we put into this, brace for impact I broke the deal. My core of obsidian locked in oblivion Where did I stray? Why do I give myself away? Am I equipped for this? Am I become a fatalist? All I ever see shit falling apart. Still hold a burning heart When lies become reality Every breath that we take Still blood and thunder All lights are out Every move that we make Still blood and thunder Striking a forgotten cord, now shivers down my spine Am I out of my mind? Don't forget to breathe you will die again Stay awake, stay awake for another day Don’t look down, stay in the game and I will do the same (let me hear you) Lost in a maze, pouring poison for days Prying eyes full of despise. I can see them watching us Always from a distance, always watching us When lies become reality Every breath that we take Still blood and thunder All lights are out Every move that we make Still blood and thunder

Light it up just to feel the rage, burn yourself just to feel again Light it up just to feel the pain, burn yourself, burn yourself Light it up just to feel the rage, burn yourself down just to feel again Light it up just to feel the pain, burn yourself, burn yourself down to the bone I've come to learn your hatred will let this world burn And I will in turn make you suffer for all that you I've done You're haunting me, you never leave Still trapped in this cage of my mind You're cold, diseased, spreading insanity I'll fight you til the end of time Another day goes by, I'm not alright No one can save me, no one can change me I suffer with you Light it up just to feel the rage Burn yourself just to feel again Face me Together we're bound you and me, we feel the same Light it up just to feel the pain Burn yourself, burn yourself down to the bone And how does it make you feel, you know you live a lie? You do all that you can but barely stay alive And you still deny all the pain and demise The final nail is in place, good night A dying greed, you try to feed Your hunger for chaos and hurt It ́s all you need but still you turn to me That someone to drag trough the dirt Crossed a line but your name is mine No one can save me, no one can change me I suffer with you Light it up just to feel the rage Burn yourself just to feel again Face me Together we're bound you and me, we feel the same Light it up just to feel the pain Burn yourself, burn yourself down to the bone Walking through ashes and stones, no way to atone Black in the heart and numb to the bone An alliance we cannot control We walk together through pleasure and pain With a cross on our back we feel the same weight Of this life we now live where everything died In the flames is where we unite Save me, change me I suffer with you Light it up just to feel the rage Burn yourself just to feel again Face me, go on and change me We feel the same Light it up just to feel the pain Burn yourself, burn yourself down to the Burn yourself down to the bone
