The New Flesh
The stains on your altar have yet to dry But power is something you have yet to find It's the blunt stone that makes the sharpest knife A higher state for a lower life Finally reached the surface but there's Nothing here for us, yeah So we descend And we're staying down No face to our names You embody everything we renounce Rotting souls caught in the throes of a Lifetime of endless cycles of abuse Clawed to the surface just to retrace my steps We cut our throats just to spite our own fucking necks So we descend And we're staying down No face to our names You embody everything we renounce Tread carefully, this world could swallow you Spit you out at the mouth of Hell Under no one, under no illusion You have turned us antihuman Tread carefully, this world could swallow you Spit you out at the mouth of Hell Under no one, under no illusion You have turned us antihuman So we descend And we're staying down No face to our names You embody everything we renounce

Hands on the wall or stand on your feet Keep you safe, keep you free from experiencing Skin, touch, tell me when you've had enough If this is overwhelming wait and see what's to come Claw at the surface but nothing comes out So you scratch a little deeper, if there was a doubt Turn blood into water to cleanse your insides Now you don't know who you are You have been replaced Now it's all erased I realise we're nothing So close to being perfect Here's your parting gift Repressed then and repressed now Life is getting harder but we can't see how Medicated by ones and zeros Starve the mind and the body follows Depleted, deprived Everything eliminated inside Claw at the surface but nothing comes out So you scratch a little deeper, if there was a doubt Turn blood into water to cleanse your insides But you don't know who you are You have been replaced Now it's all erased I realise we're nothing So close to being perfect Here's your parting gift Reanimate the dead, new flesh glorified Staring back at you, seven heads, seven eyes Scream into the void till our faces turn red It's never too late for you to hang your fucking head What am I looking at? Fucking nothing Close my eyes, felt a breeze At least it's something real Tell me what it takes To sleep soundly these days One eye over your shoulder The other on your grave Take a bow You're a god now Rags to riches, riches to new skin, you must be proud "You should kill for this" It will kill for you It will kill, it will kill you too Now it's all erased I realise we're nothing So close to being perfect Here's your parting gift Erased Erased Erased

The world doesn't owe us a thing So in turn expect nothing (For once) Just keep your thoughts within Don't hold your breath again In this world you despise Your rejection magnified All glory, no valour Everything you wish for shatters All glory, no valour Nothing you say fucking matters You crave adulation But garner no respect The world knows your lies You just don't know it yet All glory, no valour Everything you wish for shatters All glory, no valour You beg for a seat at the table of kings Kings The taste of blood lingers on your lips Only a fool would wish for this All glory, no valour All glory, no fucking valour All glory, no valour All glory, no fucking valour Everything you wish for shatters The world doesn't owe us a thing So in turn expect nothing You had your time to be A name worth remеmbering All glory, no valour Everything you wish for shatters All glory, no valour Nothing you say fucking mattеrs Only fools wish for a seat at the table of kings

Paranoia taking hold of me All my thoughts dismantling Carried away on a tide of nothing The fear of what could be happening Do you feel it too? The ground opening The clouds of judgement suffocating Are you alive? Living with a sinking feeling Oh, it's so hard to find Tell me it's not too late Are you alive Or is it just a chemical feeling? Won't you feed me a lie? Tell me it's not too late Do you feel it too? The ground opening The clouds of judgement suffocating You try and kill your shadow But it engulfs you all Frozen like bait Your demons await Are you alive? Or is it just a chemical feeling? Won't you feed me a lie? Tell me it's not too late Arе you satisfied Living with a sinking feeling? Won't you tell me I'm finе? Tell me that my wounds aren't so bad Frozen still in the throes of suffocation Every thought becomes a laceration Look through my eyes, you'll begin to see That the world before you is not the same for me Are you alive Or is it just a chemical feeling? Won't you feed me a lie? Tell me it's not too late Are you satisfied Living with a sinking feeling? Won't you tell me I'm fine? Tell me that my wounds aren't so bad

True conviction is hard to find Purity is not in our design Find a voice with which you can align If there's somebody with a conscience then give me a sign No man is without sin and I know mine Some values are lost through the passage of time Bathed in greed (Greed), consort with swine (Swine) It's hard to find somebody with a fucking spine You have to dig for gold through the mounds of dirt And bite your tongue just to hold your worth Shedding (Shedding) Changing (Changing) Remove your skin, are you still the same?

Cold spit, eyes filled with grit Caught in spiritual deficit Running from your own shadow Body and mind are split So break, break, break, break, break everything around me 'Cause I've been living under a glass ceiling With a foot upon me So don't you take, take, take, take, take my precious time from me I've got nothing left to spare But time won't spare you from the guillotine Cut down to size Can't read behind my eyes What you never see, all you need to know In fire baptised Cut down to sizе Can't read behind my eyеs What you never see, all you need to know In fire baptised Hanging by a thread Living under threat Hanging by a thread Living under threat Nullify, fight, fight, fight, fight for every breath I leave behind So cough it up, I'll take it and be done Wrong place wrong fucking time Don't lower my vibration You're stood where I draw the line Cut down to size Can't read behind my eyes What you never see, all you need to know In fire baptised Cut down to size Can't read behind my eyes What you never see, all you need to know In fire baptised (Drop) Await the sting of the guillotine (Scythe) The scythe's remorseless swing (Time) No one is spared (Once you shatter you won't be put back together) (Drop) Await the sting of the guillotine (Scythe) The scythe's remorseless swing (Time) No one is spared (Once you shatter you won't be put back together) Falling deeply asleep in the fire And they're all building your pyre Nothing to give, nothing to give So swallow it down There'll be no mind to suffer a fool There's a line drawn between me and you Nothing to give (Nothing to give) You had my time, now you get nothing Cut down to size (Hanging by a thread, living under threat) Cut down to size

You were wearing the skin of God When you finally fell to Earth Your disciples were lost in the flood Eyes like daggers drenched in blood Now we bathe in your crimson death My trophies are of flesh and of bone I want your head to adorn my throne You stole a part of me that has now grown cold I never asked for much, I just want your soul I want your fucking head Head Cut out your tongue, push it down your throat Unclench your fists and succumb to the one you loathe Never the victim, always the spurned Now we rejoice as the table's turned Watch you sink like another wreck Fill the streets with the blood from your neck My trophies are of flesh and of bone I want your head to adorn my throne You stole a part of me that has now grown cold I never asked for much, I just want your soul Savour what you take (What you take) I hope it serves you well (Serves you right) Don't come crawling back This is farewell My trophies are of flesh and of bone I want your head to adorn my throne Give me everything, or just enough to feel whole I never asked for much, I just want your soul I just want your fucking head

Do I give you a false sense of security? A broken shield, what a pity I wrote it down so you'll never forget So when I'm not there you can always read it What if I was always around? Would I still let you down? What if I could be everywhere at once? Every breath is like a twisting knife in my side Take me back, take me back, I'm begging, don't leave me here It's a long way home, you know I can't part the sea When I leavе, I leave all that matters to mе Marbled eyes, just like your mother Without the demons that wrestle your father I never wanted it to feel like I choose this over you (Choose this over you) Every breath is like a twisting knife in my side Take me back, take me back, I'm begging, don't leave me here I can almost feel your hands, you know I can't part the sea When I leave, I leave all that matters to me Close your eyes and I'll close mine Imagine we're in the same place at the same time Every breath is like a twisting knife in my side Take me back, take me back, I'm begging, don't leave me here I can almost feel your hands, but I can't part the sea When I leave, I leave all that matters to me And it feels like a knife in my side Nothing changes when I close my eyes I'll just keep telling myself, "Just one more breath" It's a long way back and I can't part the sea When I leave, I leave all that matters to me What if I was always around? Would I still let you down? What if I could be everywhere at once?

Everywhere I turn, there's a blade to my throat Everyone I know is now out for blood If that's what you want then fucking take some In the blade you'll see your true reflection Now stood in the circle of swords Now kneel before your new god Stood in the circle of swords Now serve your new lord, go Whispers of your intent made their way through the air All your shields are gone, now you're stood here You'll never drain me, never lеave a scar And now I know who you truly are Stood in the circlе of swords Now kneel before your new god Stood in the circle of swords Now praise your new lord Rust, untouchable by their claws Recomposed and prepared for war Aimless, faceless Beg they have mercy on your soul Stood in the circle of swords Now kneel before your new god Stood in the circle of swords Now praise your new lord No matter how hard you try to push through You're only creating a self-inflicted wound

Do my eyes deceive me or has it really been So many times 'round the sun, living like we have impunity? A desperate clutch of despair clinging to existence When I don't know what waits for me there One last deep inhale Remove the dust under the stone, I return again (Woah-oh) We're all seeds in the river (Woah-oh) Washed away like we were never here (Woah-oh) Maybe we'll all be delivered But it's all I can do not to fight this feeling I've known a lot of faces, and some are long gone And new memories replace those who sang their swansong A desperate clutch of despair clinging to existence And I know just what waits for me here If I could write a letter to my former self It would just read "Accept the hand you've been dealt Resilience is a weapon, and you'll find your better self Inside the eyes of someone else" (Woah-oh) We're all seeds in the river (Woah-oh) Washed away like we were never here (Woah-oh) Maybe we'll all be delivered But it's all I can do not to fight this feeling Eyes heavy but on we move blindly in the dark I can't help but think of all the time I spent waiting for life to start So focused on failing, I never took the time to savour All the things I took for granted I wish that I could come back braver One day you will look back And wish for a dull moment A deeper connection That's what keeps you tethered Keep your head above the waves Ride it out for as long as you can take There's enough tragedy to pull you down But we've all seen darker days We're all seeds in the river Washed away like we were never here Maybe we'll all be delivered But it's all I can do not to fight this feeling (Woah-oh) We're all seeds in the river (Woah-oh) Washed away like we were never here (Woah-oh) Maybe we'll all be delivered But it's all I can do not to fight this feeling
