Dormant Heart

Far from the reaches of the scythe Bone turns to ash and reignites An ember within a coffin of emptiness Sinks into the ground From the open mouth of the river To the deep heart of winter A severed cord from the heart to the head Where men fear to tread Hidden from the world for all to hide Where the wolves come to die

Poisonous minds corrupt those within reach Innocent souls molded by complete misery I am alone watching it all unfold An absence of faith yet I can't remove these shackles from my throat They will creep into your thoughts Deconstruct your moral code They will bend and they will break Every law to feed their cause Bleeding you dry leaving nothing behind So they can march to the dying heartbeat [Solo] Cowards and fiends align Reshaped, transmogrified Noose tied, bound hands and feet Coveted eyes to ultimately deceive I'm coming undone Splitting at the seems The blindfold so tight around your ears It drowns out a thousand fucking screams They will creep into your thoughts Rip apart your values Offering your sacrificial lamb To appease your fellow man How many times can you take the strain Return to your feet, endure it all again Blessed with the honesty of a thief, I'm waiting How many times can you lie through your teeth To be human is to sin and in death is honor for all men Closed eyes see past the misguiding light Take a breath to absorb the darkness in life Pulling in two directions Two minds yield into unto corruption [Solo] How many times can you take the strain Return to your feet, endure it all again Blessed with the honesty of a thief, I'm waiting How many times can you lie through your teeth To be human is to sin and in death is honor for no men

Burst out of negation and discern Enough to see your halo fall To silence your words, to strangle your breath To bring an end to it all Hidden in the shadows Dormant hearts now beating Crept into the light Tell the hangman the guilty have arrived A kingdom so perfectly wretched I hope their hands cling to your soul The moon beheld the flames Yet the scorched skies bore no change The sound of the funeral bell now rings Beyond the horizon Hands of stone claw at the throat Constricting life, binding hands Ushering an eon Omens cast out in place of wisdom Open minds must choose a side Tell the hangman I have arrived A kingdom so perfectly wretched I hope their hands cling to your soul Awaken and remove the veil The dust won't settle, so keep pushing on Pray for your soul to keep For in hell you'll have no prayers to reap [Solo] By breaking the silence we give in to them, to them Like lambs to the slaughter unaware Walking into the eye of the storm And when the world's asleep Point the finger at me Unleash the dogs and set them astray to ensure your safety But for now we have won But at what cost... But at what cost... We are lost... We are lost...

Watch as the banks break Flooding the land into the earth's heart Fear creeps in The stones are set with blood and lust And the shadows bring what your despise They move like snakes entwining ulcers within War of words Spoken in handshakes, behind locked doors Tongues that twist and bend Dragging us all to our end And the skies turn black and the poison seeds don't grow With riches they line, their pockets yet unpick the seams again Brick by brick, you're closing yourself in To build upon blood and sand is to build a tomb The candles burn The snake has spoken Watch as they rise through the cracks Eyes widen as the iris turns black Face the beckoning The winds of change are a myth The meek shall inherit the earth When their bodies are set adrift [Solo] Sever the roots that run deep and feed Crown of thorns for your majesty Failed mortal, thwarted King [Solo] To build on blood and sand is to build a tomb

Remove your crown Self appointed king Master of deceit Dragged bodies through the streets Stones to throw Heavy cross to bear Face behind a mask Facing a silent collapse Oh preacher, tell your flock they don't stand tall The higher the structure you build, the further it falls... Concealed poison on lips of lovers They'll bring us to our knees Shake the earth eternally Condemn the broken Accept the weak Now whose turn is it to turn the other cheek Oh preacher, tell your flock they don't stand tall The higher the structure you build, the further it falls... If ever you need light Step into the dark and look behind Oh preacher, tell your flock they shall not fall Turn away, hide your face Hide your face so they can‘t see past your lying eyes [Solo] Oh preacher, tell your flock they don't stand tall The higher the structure you build, the further it falls...

Acid slaver burns through bone Dissected and reanimated Lips are sewn, stitched to mute the outcome Block the exit wounds See through the face of degradation Beyond what hides on the surface Numb the ache, dull the light and sound It’s dragging me down This isn't war for this is silent Your pointed teeth left leeches marks in me And I can feel it burning Forever under my skin Dissected into a thousand pieces Corroding from the inside Piercing the flesh and burrowed deep A host forever asleep So see through the face of degradation Beyond what hides on the surface Numb the ache, dull the light and sound It’s dragging me down This isn't war for this is silent Your pointed teeth left leeches marks in me And I can feel it burning Forever under my skin The remnants of your soul depart [Solo] The cold frost of winter soothes the sting Forever the leech is king

Chains break yet the line pushes onwards Dust in the cogs has no effect or purpose What little remorse we have suffers, depletes To weak to know who you are Resounding cries And I fear this wretch is whole Day breaks yet the sun's dissipated Iron manacles rattle the cages Debt paid in full to the lords The fiends, the foes, the dogs, they know who you are Resounding cries And I fear this wretch is whole Inhaling its own tail, the cycle repeats They want to see people burn And watch their faces turn Inflicting their pain upon Everyone that breathes under the sun Days blur into one When the curtain drops to obscure The end to the hell that's begun [Solo]

Faint shadows emerge Restricting and contorting Controlling from behind The veil of the usurper (the usurper) Praying for the weak Preying on the innocent Prophets and idols replacing men Isolate the infection before it spreads Born on our own Severing the ancestry Die on our own Defeat the bloodline [Solo] Born without direction Born without prejudice Pulled into line forever enslaved Corrupted, mistrusted Erect the gallows Upon the pentagram And let the bastards hang And tradition can die with them Born on our own Severing the ancestry Die on our own Defeat the bloodline Let the bastards hang And tradition can die with them Outstretch your palms To receive your communion of lies Fall to your knees and repent Your failure we claim as ours Ruler in the sky Strike down with arrows unbound You've made your altar so bow down So bow down... Stains of dissolution The blind follow the mislead To gallows then graves In sickness and death Augment this world of lies Everything is a choice and not a birthright

Endure the paths unaligned Idle hands create idols and shrines The devil makes use of those who squander their time Keep your enemies close Surrounded by sinners and ghosts Eyes to the ground Whispers arise from the heart of the hive The heart of darkness Bleeds only for one and for one it serves It burns black coal Through veins, the flesh, the bone By raising your voice You will invite death Stay close to the swarm And you will come to no harm By raising your voice You will give us away Stay close to the swarm And you will come to no harm [Lead] Forgotten yet ostracized Moving beneath the darkest of skies Riding the mist concealed Hidden in plain sight Keep your enemies close Surrounded by sinners and ghosts Eyes to the ground Whispers arise from the heart of the hive The heart of darkness Bleeds only for one and for one it serves It burns black coal Through veins, the flesh, the bone By raising your voice You will invite death Stay close to the swarm And you will come to no harm By raising your voice You will give us away Stay close to the swarm And you will come to no harm Deafened by the sirens and wounded souls Bound down! They hear the voices They will drown out all remnants of us Bound down! They hear the voices They will drown out, forever servants [Lead] How can you feel safe out here... [Solo] By raising your voice You will invite death Stay close to the swarm And you will come to no harm By raising your voice You will give us away Stay close to the swarm And you will come to no harm

Taste the blood and spit out the clots Lick your lips as the world begins to rot And it's a fading world that I want no input or part of Our own reflections are sickening sights There's no escaping what we always try to hide I am fortune's fool, the bitter fruit from the devil's table I carry the weight of it all And I'll drown with it Crown of bones Indistinguishable Now succumb Lest the reaper comes Fear is a prison that floods with doubt As the waters rise accept there will be no doubt But we all drown in our coffins, anchors down Inhale mistakes and breathe out the shame Close your eyes as the blood begins to drain I am fortune's fool, the bitter fruit from the devil's table Thirst the seclusion I feel the silence like a warmth Entombed I'll lay with thorns on my grave Face to the hardened stone Lie still lest the reaper comes Face to the hardened stone Pluck out the decay from the tree to remove its disease [Solo] I am an open book Yet the pages are blank Held at arms length This is as close as you'll ever get I am an open book Yet the pages are blank Try as you might to evoke You will never know

I walk out blindly on the frozen sea Where the light has failed Clutch to beams that sting to touch Where the lies took you Maybe moths need a path Maybe the flames are all they have Failed to rescue damaged wings It's the same old sin to repeat Failed to rescue I can see That a line is drawn at our feet Burrowed beneath Fill our dark hole, making leaves Clutch the roots, and sleep Crawl into the earth To the land where the light has failed Maybe moths need a path Maybe the flames are all they have Don't want to see you belie Failed to rescue damaged wings It's the same old sin to repeat Failed to rescue I can see That a line is drawn at our feet Is this how you repay me? You kept me whole then silenced my thoughts How can I repay you? A canopy of horror drowned in this sorrow And if you cross my mind again, I'll curse you out Enveloping you, a swarm and you die alone
