Reverence

Your heart, your home, your voice, it's got a price tag Sign in blood, bury your rights in a body bag They're feeding fear through the fault lines You heard it here first, they got your freedoms on the front line Primetime, the noose at our throats Our liberties hands run with blood of the scapegoats So tell me how can we demonize When we can't see life through another's eyes Pay 'em off and play 'em off Fear rolls like a reaper through the streets of the lost Pay 'em off and play 'em off But in the eyes of the storm The truth drops like a bomb The truth drops like a bomb The battle is on Hands in chains for a fist full of dollars Who do we blame for the holes in our knowledge? The past you know has been written by the victor So I ask you now, who is it writing your future? The butcher, the liar, the thief or the killer? Your freedom died quiet in the halls of power Starved for peace, we'll eat war until it kills us Six feet deep with a belly full of bullets Pay 'em off and play 'em off Fear rolls like a reaper through the streets of the lost Pay 'em off and play 'em off But in the eyes of the storm The truth drops like a bomb The truth drops like a bomb The battle is on The hate runs deep, but our hopes cut deeper Now we walk through the valley in the shadow of the reaper Money talks, and it's speaking in tongues They put a price on our soul like they had already won Now open wide, I see their jaws locked tight Silent in the moment like prey in the floodlights The signal is static, baptised in fire Now we see how they talk with a mouth full of barbed wire Absolute power, absolute power, absolute power Absolute power corrupts absolutely Absolute power, absolute power, absolute power Absolute power corrupts The truth drops like a bomb The truth drops like a bomb The battle is on The truth drops like a... Absolute power corrupts absolutely

You sweep across the heavens, an extinction grade event And carve your name upon the gates where angels fear to tread All hail my You shine like blood and diamonds, you sing like breaking glass You drag them out into the street and turn their names to ash All hail my You hum like quiet lightning in the eye of a typhoon A bird of illest omen crowing all impending doom All hail my The whisper of unnerving truth when saner minds depart You rise like Christ the Saviour, you burn as Joan of Arc All hail my You bring the axe upon them with devastating grace And on their heads, forever lay a curse upon their fate All hail my My spirit on unhinging force, my avalanche untamed Bearing down relentlessly on all who dare remain All hail my All hail my My unnatural disaster All hail my My kaleidoscopic gloom All hail my My karmic equalizer All hail my My cemetery bloom

From crooked faith, the darkness flows From hallowed halls, through broken homes To prey upon the weakest lamb The cruellest heart is truly man And when the judgment came, they told us: "Turn away" As their laughter whipped the halls like cracking bones Small words and hollow gestures, the rats are closing ranks They paint themselves as angels, oh, so wrong Libera nos, libera nos Deliver us from the blackest of mass Libera nos, libera nos Deliver us justice for the lost Straight down, I see their wings are burning But it's a shallow fall Straight down, I see their wings are burning There are no halos to be found There are no halos to be found So save your breath Nothing here is sacred, nothing is divine If heaven's gates are open, then I think I'll wait in line Nothing here is holy when every faith is blind So save your breath, I don't need more excuses Libera nos, libera nos Deliver us from the blackest of mass Libera nos, libera nos Deliver us justice for the lost But it's a shallow fall, it's a shallow fall Straight down, I see their wings are burning But it's a shallow fall Straight down, I see their wings are burning There are no halos to be found I'll never see through the eyes of your lord But I have seen through the eyes of a child I'll never see through the eyes of your lord But I have seen through the eyes of a child I hope you rot Straight down, I see their wings are burning But it's a shallow fall Straight down, I see their wings are burning There are no halos to be found From crooked faith, the darkness flows From hallowed halls, through broken homes To prey upon the weakest lamb The cruellest heart is truly man

Do you see me? Do you see what I've become? I'm not the same beast, I leave a scar on all I touch You think you know me now, is it better than I know myself? I know it hurts like hell admitting just how you've misjudged All my life I've been told the same old Don't step out, don't test the mould We know your kind Yeah, we know you so much better than you know yourself See, the ones that won't engage me Are the same trying to cage me But I can't sit still, and I won't be tame When the lights go out, better know your enemy 'Cause I've spent a lifetime shadowboxing with death And we'll dance with the Devil till there's no songs left So do you see me? Do you see what I've become? I'm not the same beast, no, I leave a scar on all I touch You think you know me now, is it better than I know myself? I know it hurts like hell admitting just how you've misjudged You don't know me, you cannot own me The path I'm on don't fit the old me I bare my soul as I keep evolving And I chase this taste for blood See, I learned real young, don't seek no gold Trust no fool, and you won't get sold I never feared the dark, no, I just became it When the lights go dead, you better pray you're safe, kid 'Cause I've spent a lifetime shadowboxing with death And we'll dance with the Devil till there's no songs left I try to keep my cool and not let this hate win I find this mask I wear can't keep the darkness in The world you know was born to fade We'll dance upon its grave You don't know me, you cannot hold me You should've guessed that you can't control me I raise my soul like a private army And I steel myself for war 'Cause I learned real young when you walk through hell The Devil can't buy what you won't sell So I took my fear, reshaped and aimed 'Cause when the night caves in (No one will save you), oh So we'll dance with the devil till there's no songs left I try to keep my cool and not let this hate win I find this mask I wear can't keep the darkness in This mask I wear can't keep the darkness in

And through it all, we wore the pain We held our own through the darkest of our nights It’s written in my blood, it's carved into my soul Through the darkest of our nights 'Cause if you couldn't stop us then What hope do you have now When you dragged us through the fire Did you really think that we would burn? We're no saviours, we're no saints We're no martyrs and we don't need saving I've come too far to turn back I've seen too much to play dead If this is all you got, then take a deep breath in As I drown you out I'm on the edge, I'm leaning out But I can't see the sorrow for the pain, yeah It's written in my blood, it's carved into my soul The sorrow and the pain So, you think you know the story? Did you read it in the scars? 'Cause when you threw us to the lions Did you really think that we would run? We're no saviours, we're no saints We're no martyrs and we don't need saving I've come too far to turn back I've seen too much to play dead If this is all you got, then take a deep breath in Don't mistake composure for weakness Don't mistake my silence for respect Don't mistake composure for weakness Don't mistake my silence for respect I'll burn your world to the ground then spit on the ashes Scorched fucking earth Scorched fucking earth As I drown you out I've come too far to turn back I've seen too much to play dead If this is all you got, then take a deep breath in

You answer to me I am the thunder and the rain, the confusion and the pain And when I leave, I will wash your wounds clean and leave them golden I got the whole world swinging from the end of my chain and I'm calling I got your life in my hands and every debt will be paid and I'm calling Between the spark and the ember You are smoke threading the wind In time, all will return to me In time, all find an end You answer to me I am the fight and the fury, gravity in all its glory And when I come around, I bring the hammer of god down upon you I got the whole world swinging from the end of my chain and I'm calling I got your life in my hands and every debt will be paid and I'm calling, stop Between the spark and the ember You are smoke threading the wind In time, all will return to me In time, all find an end In time, all will return to me In time, you'll find no other way You answer to me I am the end and the beginning I am the end and the beginning I am forever I am eternal and nothing stands against me You answer to me You answer to me You answer to me

You never know just what you've got Till it's slipping through your fingers Never know just what you've got Till it's gone with the wind And you never miss your shadow Till there's no one left beside you You never miss your shadow Till you're alone, alone in the dark You never know just what will break you Till you're picking up the pieces Never know just what will break you Till your world, it falls apart Never know how small your voice is Till you're screaming at the silence Never know how small your voice is Till you're arguing, arguing with God But I saw Death's face today As he led my friend away I saw Death's face today As he cast his shadow over me I saw Death's face today As he led my friend away So I'll ask who I gotta pay To bring him back, bring him back to me Bring him back to me You never know the words you should've said Until they're all you're left with Until the dirt is falling and the guilt, it burns your bones And we ask the biggest question Why the fuck did this all happen? Who on Earth deserves this? And what the hell do we do now? So we live like we have lost And we love like we are broken And as the colour leaves the sky We're left in reverence of the frailty of it all
