Ignite my veins with your blood to inspire new verses I'm drained to my dregs Replace my eyes with your fire to burn through the curses Leave nothing that could hinder your blinding light Test me in the furnace of affliction Refine me as you wish When the die is cast (When the die is cast) Breathe in me your animating spark I won't flinch when the earth gives way So take me now It's not my blood to bleed I won't flinch when the earth gives way So I cry out The last word is yours to speak Sharpen my tongue with precision only your words convey I've kept waiting too long Breathe in my lungs a passion that strangles corruption Till there's nothing left Fleshkiller We're engraved on your hand Fleshkiller We're engraved on your hand Test me in the furnace of affliction Refine me as you wish When the die is cast (When the die is cast) Breathe in me your animating spark I won't flinch when the earth gives way So take me now It's not my blood to bleed I won't flinch when the earth gives way So I cry out The last word is yours to speak Fleshkiller Disease has no grasp on your reign Fleshkiller Prison cells won't contain your light With every crushing blow We are engraved upon your hand I won't flinch when the earth gives way So take me now It's not my blood to bleed I won't flinch when the earth gives way So I cry out The last word is yours to speak

Every time my eyes fall to the stare of the unknown You take the night and replace it with your dawn When my path is unclear and my courage starts to fade You sow life in the deepest of graves Somewhere between bearing my shame And wearing my pain You still find it in you to love me For who I am When I fall prey to the snares of distrust You're reaching out or I'd be crushed Break my fears and shatter my guilt An eternity of weight is gone Bearing my shame And wearing my pain You still find it in you to love me Somewhere between bearing my shame And wearing my pain You still find it in you to love me For who I am I never cease to fail you But you still love me past my debt You sow life in the deepest of graves (For miles) I see no end to your flowing grace You sow life in the deepest of graves Bearing my shame And wearing my pain You still find it in you to love me Somewhere between bearing my shame And wearing my pain You still find it in you to love me For who I am

Face your wrath I followed your shadow To the devil's lair Upon a pale horse Pierced, gaunt and red Trampling the chests of demons And not looking back The weight of redemption on my shoulders When you said; "I would give you more gold than you could fit in your fists The entire world at your fingertips." Face your rage And your hounds will turn on their own With each nail I will break your every bone Black and blue color my skin; That smirk leaves your face Reciprocated tenfold When I break your curse Hoisted up and bound by a traitor I left him in a field; His insides feed the birds "I would give you more gold than you could fit in your fists The entire world at your fingertips." Face your rage 'Wrath' is too weak a word When I rise your fate is sealed There will be nothing left but the blood on my knuckles 'Wrath' is too weak a word Face your rage And your hounds will turn on their own With these nails I will break your every bone

You breed malice into your pews Like death you never have enough Spewing your poison Over the four corners of the world You're twisted in knots Pouring salt in every wound Spewing your poison Like seeds of discontent Flaunting your hate As a means of backwards religion Hell is not low enough to contain your depravity Hell is not low enough to truly describe where you're heading Your mouth is a festering wound Never shut long enough to heal Like death you never have enough So your thirst will be quenched It's just a matter of time before you beg due recompense All the hate you spew will not save you before them Death you never have enough Like death you never have enough Fall to your knees Your redeemer's robes won't save you And even your rules betray you You breed malice into your pews And make them suffer under your abuse You breed malice into your pews Like death you never have enough Fall to your knees, Pharisee And burn Your mouth is a festering wound Never shut long enough to heal Like death you never have enough So your thirst will be quenched It's just a matter of time before you beg due recompense All the hate you spew will not save you before them Depart from me for I never knew you

Dry up the sea With a word turn it all to desert sand Turn all the lights out in the sky Blot out all the stars Make your presence unmistakable And watch the devil flee That old serpent that slipped through the cracks Exiled back to the sea So carry me to the foot of the throne room Or hide me in the ground So bring me the head of the beast Or hide me in the ground Wake up your hearts The dead come to rise No longer apart Your bodies will rise Let all those who dwelt in dust Be born in the light of the guilt you crush Wake up your hearts The dead come to rise No longer apart Your bodies will rise Let all those who dwelt in dust Be born in the light of the guilt you crush The Earth resonates with your voice Shaking the woodwork With one swing the pride of a hopeless nation will fall down Bring me the head of the beast Or hide me in the ground Wake up your hearts The dead come to rise No longer apart Your bodies will rise Let all those who dwelt in dust Be born in the light of the guilt you crush Wake up your hearts The dead come to rise No longer apart Your bodies will rise Let all those who dwelt in dust Be born in the light of the guilt you crush When we meet face to face The world and the depths will separate So bring me the head of the beast Or hide me in the ground Bury me Bury me I'd rather die than just sit back and watch you hurt Tired brothers, loving sisters To all those who have had enough Your fight isn't over, you're going to press on To a loveless generation Born to be an impending resurgence Let all those who dwelt in dust Be born in the light of the guilt you crush

Get me back to the days when I felt young When love was beautiful Not just a touch to con Over these years I've deadened my nerves Friction for validation Take me back, take me back You are the blessing And I am the curse I'm ready to run like a child Away from the hell I deserve Waiting in this darkened room You're still fresh on my lungs (you're still fresh on my lungs) Hoping for a sign to prove I'm over the edge Cut me from what's burnt on my eyes Cut me away I still wear you branded on my skin You are the blessing And I am the curse I'm ready to run like a child Away from the hell I deserve You are the garden And I am the drought I'm emptied over the weeks away Too fond of this bed to see it out Too fond of this bed to see Are my roots too low? Am I drying up too fast to follow? Have my veins run dry? Will I ever hear your voice again Or feel your healing hand? (Even in the storm, I can hear you now) Cut me away from the lies that this world has fed me (You're still there, you call be back) Give me a sign, I still wear her branded on my skin (Even in the storm, I can hear you now) Show me love for how you meant it to be (You're still there, you call me back) Take me back (Even in the storm, I can hear you now) Lest I run headfirst into my lust (You're still there, you call me back) And further away from any future trust

The confines of my eyes but allow a sliver of light Upon a pale blue sphere what purpose could I have Climb with me to the top of the clouds But I find that I am truly alone Can you hear my cicada's song Droning through the darkness? Blurring the words and fading the meaning Until only static is left Climb with me to the top of the clouds But I find that I am truly alone 'I am who contains the universe Who makes the ocean floor a road I am who cranes the stars in place I am who your mind cannot encase Can you even think of me without reducing me?' I want to see you in all your glory Clothed in clouds too big of a story I wanna see you in all of your glory I want to see you in all your glory Prove it to me I want to see you in all your glory Clothed in clouds too big of a story I want to see you in all of your glory Prove it to me 'You'd be lost to madness... Can you even think of me without reducing me? I piece together dislocated limbs of the galaxy I'm looking down from the clouds all over creation While you cling to the filthy means but it's my blood that you're washed in Look up to the stars that I've set out like lanterns To illuminate my child superseding your ransom You live your life in the cracks of an infinite canvas A mere fraction of a note in eternal stanzas The beginning, the end and what comes after They point to me: I am their master's

Witness the fate of a generation Bring me your sutures I'll rip them out Your past is evident Held together by string Are you really yourself Or do your demons still haunt you? Are you really yourself? Your past owns you Your stitches are your manipulator's wire Dread the night where the blood blends with the rest You'll be shown what you've hidden away Swept under the rug Now the destruction refuses to relent You'll be found drowning in shadows If you breathe your past Gauze and string won't mend your wounds Burying your future in oblivion Your past owns you Dread the night where the blood blends with the rest You'll be shown what you've hidden away Swept under the rug Now the destruction refuses to relent You'll be found drowning in shadows If you breathe your past Your past owns you Seethe all you corpses to scorch and deceive Are you really yourself Or do your demons still haunt you? Manipulator's wire Dread the night where the blood blends with the rest You'll be shown what you've hidden away Swept under the rug Now the destruction refuses to relent You'll be found drowning in shadows Your past owns you Seethe all you corpses to scorch and deceive

We're only looking back to see the miles we've left behind What we thought was finished has only marked the beginning I'm done with wasting my time to pay for your trend You've been played out for years and it makes me so sick to watch We walk a tight rope to stay alive You repeat yourself over and over It's another day, another lie They will chew you up just to spit you out We're only looking back to see the miles we've left behind What we thought was finished has only marked the beginning The more you talk the less your words hold weight A herd of cattle led to the butcher's block and put to sleep A wise man once told me that "the only originality left is honesty." - Seth Webster We walk a tight rope to stay alive You repeat yourself over and over It's another day, another lie They will chew you up just to spit you out So don't buy in, you're just another ticket sold We walk a tight rope to stay alive You repeat yourself over and over It's another day, another lie They will chew you up just to spit you out We walk a tight rope to stay alive It's getting old It's another day, another lie Don't buy in you're just another ticket sold They'll chew you up just to spit you out So don't buy in I'm not gonna pay for your trend

To think of all the lives they've taken Thrown in an endless void (thrown in an endless void) Worth is not assigned by a man on a screen Nor love by where we sleep We conceal who we truly are (who we are) In hopes to thrill an audience But there's not enough make up in this world To cover all our scars A coward said that you'll never amount to anything You've still got the breath in your lung Enough to fight the apathy Raise your voices loud and clear (loud and clear) They will tremble when they hear (when they hear) We are not abandoned anymore We are aiming to find you now (find you know) This is the last time you sell us out (sell us not) We will not be silent anymore Desensitizing every truth we hold A dystopic nightmare Worth is not assigned by a man on a screen Nor love by where we sleep Raise your voices loud and clear (loud and clear) They will tremble when they hear (when they hear) We are not abandoned anymore We are aiming to find you now (find you know) This is the last time you sell us out (sell us not) We will not be silent anymore Reveal yourself for who you are Apathy is dead A coward said that you'll never amount to anything You've still got the breath in your lungs, enough to fight the apathy So walk out from behind those gates and feel the sun burn upon your face You will be bestowed a new name etched in stone Born in flame We are born from a burning sun We are more than what's inside the gates we're from Apathy is dead Reveal yourself for who you are We are born from a burning sun We are more than what's inside the gates we're from Apathy is dead Reveal yourself for who you are We are born from a burning sun We are more than what's inside the gates we're from Apathy is dead Reveal yourself for who you are We are born from a burning sun We are more than what's inside the gates we're from Apathy is dead Reveal yourself for who you are We are born from a burning sun We are more than what's inside the gates we're from Apathy is dead Reveal yourself for who you are We are born from a burning sun We are more than what's inside the gates we're from

Dear father I must first confess That from the stone inside my chest I have nothing to offer you I'm shaken by your righteousness At a loss of words to do justice So grant me grace in silence I will learn to love you And abandon the rest If your children lost their voice to sing And fled the shadow of your wing Would you reveal yourself to us? Crashing waves calm at your feet But further still my body sinks I am a man of little faith But I will learn to love you And abandon the rest Not abandoned Bound by grace we sing You are everything My last breath is yours My last breath is yours to breathe My last word is yours My last word is yours to speak To love you and abandon the rest
