Shadows Fall
Album • 2012
As the axe comes crashing down Dragging us beneath the ground Abandoned here you're gone without a sound All you've taken, all you've said Still hear your voice inside my head Beaten, broken down and left for dead (Leave me to die) No more denial No more restraint No more conscience And I will seal your fate So close your eyes And live in the unknown Forsaken by the world Your life has turned to stone Balance of your mind decays Only flesh and bone remains The fire of the afterlife awaits No more denial No more restraint No more conscience And I will seal your fate Just close your eyes again There's no escape Just close your eyes Your life is mine to take So close your eyes (Close your eyes!) And live in the unknown (The unknown) Forsaken by the world Your life has turned to stone There's no escape Just close your eyes again And I will seal your fate So close your eyes And live in the unknown Surrender your free will Your life has turned to stone There's no escaping this! So close your eyes (Close your eyes!) And live in the unknown (The unknown) Forsaken by the world Your life has turned to stone There's no escape

They've been living Off the salt in our tears Thriving on our suffering For all these years Reprogram our conscience Twisted thoughts infect our mind Tear apart our senses Leave us paralyzed and blind Abandoned and forgotten We're standing on our own Unite and rise together And we will take control System corrupted That is feeding on itself You divide and conquer We find true wealth The children of the afterthought The ones you left behind Your neglect has built our strength And through it all we will, we will survive Abandoned and forgotten We're standing on our own Unite and rise together And we will take control No more compromises Shatter our faith and trust You've taken everything It never seems to be enough You've taken everything... Lost! Lost! Generation left for dead Faith! Faith! No more faith, no more trust Lies! Lies! Defy everything you said Die! Die! Through it all we will survive Abandoned and forgotten We're standing on our own Unite and rise together And we will take control No more compromises Shatter our faith and trust You've taken everything It never seems to be enough No more compromise And through it all We will survive

Haunted By the life you wanted Trapped by the hands of time The end is near And the end is what you fear Fading Hell is right here waiting In the silence of your mind Though you hide Cannot kill the ghost inside Are we born to bleed? The world consumes you Can't breathe Suffering The world consumes you These dreams have died before my eyes Our future's lost and left to die Running deep into the night Abandoning the fight As you flee Turn your back on your beliefs Chaos breathes life into the fire Consumed by your desire To save yourself Save yourself and no one else Are we born to bleed The world consumes you These dreams have died before my eyes Our future's lost and left to die It seems there's nowhere left to hide Our future's lost and left to die The panic will begin It never seems to end Trapped inside How long will this torture last The walls are closing in You've given up again The weight of the world crushes you into dust These dreams have died before my eyes Our future's lost and left to die It seems there's nowhere left to hide Our future is nothing

Cannot find a reason why Stop your life while you get high Refuse to move, refuse to try Close your eyes and wait to die All our heroes Will burn! Burned in the fire And now nothing remains Through these swollen eyes And this clouded mind Time to face another day alone (On your own) You've been down this road before The warning signs you just ignored You're on your own Wrapped within the rings of smoke With every ragged breath you choked The only way you can cope Forget the dreams, forget the hope Through these swollen eyes And this clouded mind Time to face another day alone (You're on your own) How long has it been When will this ever end Stumbling along until we die (Until we die) All our heroes Burned in the fire Nothing remains Kill for just one night of rest No matter how hard you resist It digs its claws into your soul The demon never lets you go Through these swollen eyes And this clouded mind Time to face another day alone (You're on your own) How long has it been When will this ever end Stumbling along until we die (Until we die)

Red sun at daybreak Burns and blinds the eyes And though our bodies ache We march on or we die Silence of space Is torn by cries Another hopeless world Prepares to die Are those the eyes of god That burn so bright Or the hands of death Reaching through the night The shadows creep Darker than dead of night Nowhere to hide You're hunted by the light Crushed by the weight Of our own demise Torn apart by gravity Our world will not survive Are those the eyes of god That burn so bright Or the hands of death Reaching through the night Death comes swiftly from above Fire from the sky The universe has come undone Fire from the sky Its own destruction fuels A star's hunger to consume Laying silent in its path Planets await thy doom Solar flares ignite the sky And twist the atmosphere Death is inching closer Kill the light, awaken fear There's nowhere to run There's nowhere left to hide We are hunted by the light Death comes swiftly from above Universes has come undone There's nowhere left to hide There's fire... From the sky Are those the eyes of god That burn so bright Or the hands of death Reaching through the night Death comes swiftly from above Fire from the sky The universe has come undone Fire from the sky

Guilt will twist the blade Every day the knife cuts deeper How much more of this can you take Your fake smile fades Your public face has cracked and broken Cannot run and hide from your mistakes Your time is running out This life of fear and doubt It's not worth defending The guilt is never ending Judge not Before you judge yourself Regret The only thing you felt Too late It's too late to save your soul How far Will you let it go Your fate Is not in your control Too late It's too late to save your soul Your hollow words will, will never be enough Haunted by the truth The innocent paid for your actions Always seem to crush the ones you love Hide in your excuse It strangles like a noose It's not worth defending The guilt is never ending Judge not Before you judge yourself Regret The only thing you felt Too late It's too late to save your soul How far Will you let it go Your fate Is not in your control Too late It's too late to save your soul Try to run and hide Until the day, until the day you die All your foolish pride It won't help you survive Until the day you die It's not worth defending The guilt is never ending Judge not Before you judge yourself Regret The only thing you felt Too late It's too late to save yourself How far Will you let it go Your fate Is not in your control Too late It's too late to save your soul Try to run and hide Until the day, until the day you die All your foolish pride It won't help you survive Until the day you die

Unleash confusion Hiding every single trace For everyone they kill Ten more will take its place Begin a never ending race Every turn you change your face Things are never what they seem Thought that you were closing in Lose your ground, begin again An endless cycle you're trapped within Can't believe Conformity Is enslaving me Believing was your first mistake Never asking questions Deceiving but you learned too late Bleed us dry and say we're free Buying everything they showed No more questions, do as you're told Revolution came and went The walls are closing in You will pay the price for others' sins I can't believe Conformity Is enslaving me Believing was your first mistake Never asking questions Deceiving but you learned too late Bleed us dry and say we're free Conformity Enslaving me Fight to be free Conformity Enslaving me Fight to be free Believing was your first mistake Never asking questions Deceiving but you learned too late Bleed us dry and say we're free And say we're free Bleed us dry and say we're free

Depression breeds like rats And turns your soul to black You no longer care that you feel nothing Bow down And serve your master Bow down Your life is mine Will you survive the day Or will you disappear and fade away? Heard all you had to say Lost within the gray Your will has disappeared Breath in the soulless air An undead memory that's slowly fading Bow down Your life means nothing Bow down You're lost within Will you survive the day Or will you disappear and fade away? Same lies told another way Lost within the gray You sacrificed all that kept you strong Changed your mind the minute things went wrong Turned away from what you created Bowed your head and served the ones you hated I thought I knew you well Now only time will tell Will you survive the day Or will you disappear and fade away? Heard all you had to say Lost within the gray You're lost You're lost

The night keeps reaching on and on Kill the sun, bury the dawn A race begins that no one ever seems to win The line remains unbroken Smashing the doors wide open All of my fears are blown away My eyes are blinded By the ice and snow I walk the edge (I walk the edge) Just to feel alive Lost in the endless night I walk the edge till the end of time Days combining into one Now the nightmare has begun Still I show no fear I feel alive when death is near Feel the rain wash over me I am alive, I am set free Now time stands still The silence just before the kill Can't keep myself from falling The afterlife keeps calling It gets closer everyday My eyes are blinded By the ice and snow I walk the edge (I walk the edge) Just to feel alive Lost in the endless night Can't slow the hands of time I walk the edge (I walk the edge) Just to feel alive Still trapped between the lines I walk the edge till the end of time I walk the edge (I walk the edge) Just to feel alive Lost in the endless night Can't slow the hands of time I walk the edge (I walk the edge) Just to feel alive Still trapped between the lines I walk the edge till the end of time Until the end of time Trapped between the lines But my heart is still racing I walk the edge I walk the edge

There is a darkness to the world Too blind to see You can't believe That your way of life is dying Strike at the heart of the machine Dispel the poison Kill the thieves The walls of Babylon are falling So leave me out on my own Out here where I belong Believing all you burned will live again We're here and standing strong Standing strong Atrocities you can't ignore You realize It's a disguise The body count keeps rising, rising Close the doors to the truth Cut off the air Tighten the noose The end of days is dawning The end is near So leave me out on my own Out here where I belong Believing all you burned will live again We're free and standing, standing strong Tear down the unknown Standing on our own Your system will be overthrown Your world ground into dust Bodies covered in ash Cities burned to the ground Your walls falling down We're free and standing, standing on my own So leave me out on my own Out here where I belong Believing all you burned will live again We're free and standing, standing strong We're free, free and standing strong, strong

Past the winds of your morality Behind yourselves the sands ran through They are the last ones to do action that brings comfort around you Nothing will be theirs to defend by they don't even bother to make it start Lies all around you is what you prove Wasting away to nothing inside of you All that which then rang true Lies and deception now show through Faith and belief in what was real can't be found in an empty shell Now as I watch your back I see your unity is a joke I'll take what is real over empty promises and lies I've not given away... to the hate at all In the hands of someone who appreciates..from this vile heart I pay such a price...death's face I've not given away..to the hate at all In the hands of someone who appreciates..from this vile heart I pay such a price Darkness left, wings of life drenched in blood Angel..Angel..Angel..Angel Coming from your action creates a reaction Left within your brain, cannot sustain Coming from your action creates a reaction Left within your brain, cannot sustain Those that I would call my friends whatever you gave that idea Did they ever do anything for you without the promise of something in return? Vanity and false humility allowed to take control of their lives But to walk with no others, with no regrets and search through emptiness of my life Coming from your action creates a reaction Left within your brain, cannot sustain

I am the heir of a damned kingdom. Born into a legacy of regret. Searching for the promise of salvation. Overwhelmed by the tides of our despair. Been pulled deep into chasm. By the grip of our desire. THE GRIP OF OUR DESIRE. Must escape the weight of this depression. The choices that lead you to dismay. Who would save those who condemn themselves? CRIPPLE! Cripple your own savior. The failure, The failure of the devout. Set in motion by final sacrifice. Change begun in the name of righteousness. Infiltrated by greed, lust, and hatred. Once more corrupted by the hands of man. Been pulled deep into chasm. By the grip of our desire. Must escape the weight of this depression. The choices that lead you to dismay. The handsome mask of the devil. The lure of the cross! Of the dark! You violate the sacred with your greed. Prey upon people's misery and needs. With your greed, With your greed, With your greed! I am the heir of this damned kingdom. Born into a life of regret. Searching for a promise. That's no longer kept.

A crack forms in the foundation Fault line through your defenses Illuminating the essence Once clouded by a myth Store bought conformity Force-fed duality, I warp reality The comfort that you will find, As you remain hidden. The light betrays, casting your true self away, They remain blinded. As Vanity possesses me I am turning further away Gripped by a belief in empty words Driven by a need to prove The shell may wither But the fire burns eternal You hide behind ...cower... The light that blinds Will never find What burns inside You remain blind Behind the light
