Amongst the Low & Empty

No forgiveness Sever the sky Slaughter relentless Ignore their cries Cryptic animator Design depraved Torso tower, measure my power Monuments of my ruin The nails from my crown now driven into my totem Upon this crucifixion Surrounded by thousands I've made mountains of these coffins I will never be forgotten All I need to become God is for all of you to die All I need to become God is for all of you to die This new divinity, it separates me from maggots and flies The endless circle I am eternal I am the hammer I am the nail from the depths of Hell Piercing the clouds I shall sever the sky with blood on my hands as I watch all you die Surrounded by thousands I've made mountains of these coffins I will never be forgotten All I need to become God is for all of you to die All I need to become God is for all of you to die Limbs construct my monolith Severed hands reach a darkening sky I behold my terror of bodies defiled, nobody's safe This new divinity, it separates me from maggots and flies The endless circle I am eternal I am eternal I am decay

Dying wasted breath Pray for death Only silence greets your prayers Captive to this creation Why, oh why, must suffering reign? Agony and misery Deprived and lifeless Your final breath slips away Years come and gone Suspend your disbelief Bow your head and preach your insanity Death is all that you're granted for praying Death is all that you're granted for praying to "god" Call for the hand of "god" Dying wasted breath An acrid stench of the fading hopes Crying and suffering Bleeding in silence when your savior abandons you Crucified alone Death is all that you will get for all your praying Dying wasted breath Decay awaits When begging for an answer

Lost Living on borrowed time Staring at the hourglass Soon the blood will run out Death pays all debts Life full of regret Count your sins You'll spend the rest of your life Living on borrowed time The cruel truth of life is we all wait for execution No one is safe, silence awaits Hearken the emptying hourglass Lost in thousand-yard stares At the hourglass counting down the seconds Blinded, dilated eyes Miserably counting down your demise You've got nothing left to bargain I've got your every second I've got your every second Time's expired Staring at the hourglass Soon the blood will run out Death pays all debts Life full of regret Count your sins You'll spend the rest of your life Living on borrowed time Death pays all debts Life full of regret Count your sins You'll spend the rest of your life Living on borrowed time You'll spend the rest of your life Living on borrowed time Death pays all debts You're in the hands of a reaper It's time to meet your keeper Death pays all debts Death pays all debts You're in the hands of a reaper It's time to meet your keeper

Charred and bleeding This is my throne Forged between fire and stone Charred and bleeding This is my throne Forged between fire and stone Charred and bleeding This is my throne Forged between fire and stone My lonesome end Lost within my own convictions The first of many daggers I can feel the tension Scoring at my skin Carving deep within Carving deep within The penultimate omen of my end Oh, my suffering has just begun I can feel it now I can feel it now The choice, solely mine I'm to decide how my light will die To be taken by the fire or suffer the knife Either way, I will die tonight Trapped in this coffin Entombed in flames Damned to the first of many daggers I can feel the tension Scoring at my skin Carving deep within Carving deep within Begging for an end Begging for the end I feel my skin begin to char Turn into a body of worthless scars Stabbing, plunging I can feel the daggers start their penetrating Stabbing, plunging I can feel the daggers start to penetrate Sepulchred in the brazen bull And flayed to death will be my fate I feel my skin begin to char Turn into a body of worthless scars The choice, solely mine I'm to decide how my light will die To be taken by the fire or suffer the knife Either way, I will wilt tonight No one is listening to me beg for my life Begging to be spared the knife No one is listening to me beg for my life Begging to be spared the flame Here I lie within my tomb Forged between fire and stone Charred and bleeding This is my throne Forged between fire and stone I lie within my tomb Charred and bleeding This is my throne

Into your ears, a barbed tongue whispers You've turned your back in a gaze Unspoken love, your skin starts to shiver Tempted to play with the pain Play with the pain Trying to recall what you used to be Losing the battle with adversity Embracing what once stood as an enemy Festering into the flesh You're feeding and the vultures are feasting A past designed by fire These are the chains you crave A past designed by fire Shackles you to your grave As you walk toward the vultures Fear not for your fate Chained and shackled with the vultures To escape this world you hate You'll accept any risk To escape this world you hate Caught inside a fever dream Scavenger of pain Soon the pleasure fades Alone, bound in chains Talons bare your pain Shackled to your hollow grave As your pleasure fades away Seeking out the vultures to beg For the shackles once more You're damned to their incisions Deeper and deeper and deeper You've grown to love their torture Your appetite is slaked And soon the pleasure's gone away Once warm shackle cloak Now binds your wounds Now binds your wounds A past designed by fire These are the chains you crave A past designed by fire Shackles you to your grave As you walk toward the vultures You care not for your fate Chained and shackled with the vultures To escape this world you hate A conscious carrion feeds The vultures circling high Shackled to the ground The talons rend the flesh now ripe And so the cycle goes 'Til the corpse decays Descending, the vultures search for prey

The price of hesitation Is the rust that forever clings I cannot fly to the sun Standing tall with severed wings Standing tall with severed wings Watch me fall with broken dreams Rust like relentless poison My desolation in disguise I've lost the faith to take the leap Aspiration paralyzed A mouth sewn shut can never sing Standing tall with severed wings Watch me fall Standing tall with severed wings Watch me fall with broken dreams Jaded and bitter All the light has dulled Forever lost its shimmer The reaper's called Jaded and bitter A scythe once gold Forever lost its shimmer Eroding Devouring Patiently killing I don't know what to do The rust has taken root Why can't I find the answer? Nothing's ever getting better It's all the doubts I've fed Get the fuck out of my head Dreamkiller Dismembering my aspiration Sickened by my own damn reflection I never failed because I never tried I stood and watched my dream die A mouth sewn shut can never sing Standing tall with severed wings Watch me fall (Watch me fall) Watch me fall Watch me fall Standing tall with severed wings Watch me fall with broken dreams Standing tall with severed wings Watch me fall with broken dreams

Piercing into my eyes Surging like thunder Call my name Back into the night Call my name Back into the twilight Blank stares and hollow lies Cursed demise Searching within her skies The witch beckoning for my eyes Her garden of stars Sewing my eyes shut I will regress and be your prey Grinning as I pretend to see Blank stares and hollow lies, I am bound Bound to your Eden Blank stares and hollow lies Cursed demise Searching within her skies The witch beckoning for my eyes Haunting what's left of me Unsure, my emerald eyes Drain to a misty gray

I feel the venom's burn Upon this echelon No hope remains Open the golden gate Only death and despair awaits In the depths pulses an oozing infection Beneath the tides dwell hidden lies Serpents curling their backs Envy-coated spines Embracing their delusion That the ship they're sailing The wave of vipers weighing you down You can swim or you can drown Your gods are covetous leeches Tear you to pieces in a sea of serpents Their fangs are sinking into your back Fade to black in a sea of serpents Old venom in the veins of your idols Surging like electric No hope remains Closer and closer Closer and closer I feel the venom's burn Upon this echelon Envy-coated spines They embrace their delusion Breeding a deaf generation Where will I find my cure? You can swim or you can drown Your gods are covetous leeches Tear you to pieces in a sea of serpents Their fangs are digging in your back Fade to black in a sea of serpents Your gods are covetous leeches They're golden demons in a sea of serpents Amongst the lost and damned Amongst the low and empty With kings and queens I stand Their power always tempting Lay your vengeance Let me become divine You will feel my presence In your envy-coated spine The venom's burning Turning idols to ash Lost in the current We were never made to last We're all servants Drowning in the sea of serpents We're all servants Drowning in the sea of serpents We are servants Drowning in the sea of serpents We're all servants Drowning in the sea of serpents

Bound to lifeless possessions I see them Dissolving into the walls Enticed by my pain Hidden behind A silver veil Controlling with no name Dragging my lifeless torso With no more time left to borrow Thrown into the darkness once again This pain has no end Cursed To these faces without Names Cold apparitions of endless pain In the darkness There's nothing left But wasted breath From when I once surrendered I once surrendered I'm prepared to die As I still stand in silence Apparitions pulling my strings A lifeless puppet Like a cello in my throat I am prepared to die Cursed to your hand Damned until my death Lurking beneath my every breath In the darkness Perfect aligned I've seen these faces a thousand times I hear them They whisper, beckon and call They take what remains Shadow of time Ashes inhaled Controlling with no name Thrown Into the darkness once again This pain has no end Cursed To these faces without Names Cold apparitions of endless Pain Etched into these faces without Names Cold apparitions of endless pain

Resurrecting my dormant pain My cursed indefinite suffering Breeding sorrow to all in my wake This sickness won't die I still long for my grave Conceived in misery Bastard-born and laid to rest Rotting flesh draped upon my carcass Dreams of pestilence seared to my flesh Relentless angel of affliction The ghostly harbinger, bringer of death Cleanse this vile disease Condemned torment My corpse to rot as a memory Condemned torment Mouthful of pills, no remedy Damned to my misery Waiting to bury me Crestfallen Trapped in my malady Numb to the touch Cleanse this vile disease Cleanse this vile disease Cleanse me Breeding sorrow to all in my wake This sickness won't die I still long for my grave Mentally crucified within my destiny Eternity screaming at me I still long for my grave Condemned Cursed to this pain Torment I still long for my grave Cleanse my disease Condemned torment My corpse to rot as a memory Condemned torment Mouthful of pills, no remedy End me End me End me End me End me End me End me
