Pray for rain To wash over the fires you made Our mistake Of the subsentence coursing my veins New American Christ for the weak Selling utopia Doom is the price we pay You\'re looking away Ignoring the flames but you know It\'s an alter of lies It\'s an abomination of truth The end of all hope Before your reborn you must die Reap what you\'ve sown And come back to life Reap what you\'ve sown Give blood to a scythe Reap what you\'ve sown I\'ll be here Of the masses infesting the land Salvation As we taste the rapture a mouth full of sand The old and new fetishism fall into line Your coveting [as good] and say I\'m a fucking saint You\'re looking away You keep looking away but you know It\'s an alter of lies It\'s an abomination of truth Illusion of hope Before your reborn you must die Reap what you\'ve sown And come back to life Reap what you\'ve sown Give blood to a scythe Reap what you\'ve sown [x2] Call my name And tell me when it\'s all over Pray for rain It\'s all you can hope for [x2]

GO! Caught between this great hole of divide Not quite dead but still not quite alive Quite alive Now go Into the light But I can\'t tell you The reasons why I\'ll never join you there I can\'t face this all alone Spiraling through this continuum Through this continuum Through this continuum Cheating death ain\'t what it used to be Agony is all that\'s left of me Left of me Now go So far away \'cause I can\'t bare this Another day I\'ll never join you there I can\'t face this all alone Spiraling through this continuum Time has taken all Ive known Smothering the life I used to love All I\'ve got is time [x4] Spiraling [x3] [x2] All I\'ve got is time All I\'ve got is time Spiraling I can\'t face this all alone Spiraling through this continuum Time has taken all Ive known Smothering the life I used to love In this continuum [x3]

You look at me, you see depraved execration You stare a while then look away I look at you, I see a slave to convention Grieving for another day My wars begin with suffering and fire And end the same Sleep well, for where you lay is where you'll die In your grave You wanted war, I gave you more then attention I saw that fire in your eye You wanted more, I'm giving pure insurrection At least you can say that you tried My wars begin with suffering and fire And end the same Sleep well, for where you lay is where you'll die In your grave In your tomb

In my youth the ghost stepped through me, and life was never quite the same A new dark truth, a cursed recluse, left choking on the bitter shame I force it down, down, down to the bottom of my soul but I still can't hide Superstition takes control and leaves me numb and paralyzed And now I realize.... Something hallowed about this blackened beckoning Lures me in and then devours me This ghost erodes what i once called my life Smell the smoke as I burn in the blinding light Hexed and blind in the dusk of life, the shadows stretching over me The mirror stares back, eyes stained black, the sun my mortal enemy Screaming "why, why, why" the ghost she never seems to say Paranoia burned my soul and now there's nothing left to take There's nothing left to take Something hallowed about this blackened beckoning Lures me in and then devours me This ghost erodes what i once called my life Smell the smoke as I burn in the blinding light Burn me alive in the blinding light

Hold on through the wake, dear For the severing I'll be here in the ether Weathering, weathering the storm Sing softly the eulogy This requiem of mine And when you're gone, I'll sing yours from the other side Bleed on through the pain, dear Through the suffering I'll wait here in the ether And send the rain, send the rain Sing softly the eulogy This requiem of mine And when you're gone, I'll sing yours from the other side You know Sing softly the eulogy This requiem of mine And when you're gone, I'll sing yours from the other side

What an anemic charade, a soulless display We force upon ourselves and all of the world Needless to say this sterile cliché Has left me with another shovel down in a hole I'm digging in vain, I'm digging in vain But when it boils down to a distraction nothing compares All I wanted was a haven away But I've traded neuroticism in for despair Tunneling further down Descending And just in case there's any doubt I'll say it now Fuck the world I'm headed underground Don't you wait 'cause I'm already headed south And I said: Oh, whoa I'm headed underground Don't mind me, I'll just be making my way down I'm living miles away from this sordid parade A welcome sanctuary under the world Suffice it to say, the cynic in me Has left me with a shovel down in this hole Digging in vain, I'm digging in vain But when it boils down to a distraction nothing compares All I wanted was a haven away But I've traded neuroticism in for despair Tunneling further down Descending And just in case there's any doubt I'll say it now Fuck the world I'm headed underground Don't you wait 'cause I'm already headed south And I said: Oh, whoa I'm headed underground Don't mind me, I'll just be making my way down

You know me You know the truth You're tying slowly You're serpent noose I feel the pangs of a bitter nerve surfacing I can't deny that I'm stifling what I say Son, you've found yourself so far from home God won't even find you where you're going You know me You know the truth You're dying to show me The serpent noose I hear the words of a bitter verse echoing Can't reconcile nor tolerate Son, you've found yourself so far from home God won't even find you where you're going [Solo] Son, you've found yourself so far from home God won't even find you where you're going

I don't need a reason I don't need to explain I'm told that death's in season I don't need to be saved But you, you tried so fucking hard Can't seem to cauterize your scars And stop your pride from bleeding Coiling, the ouroboros rise The viscious cycle of our lives eternally repeating Somewhere between love and failure There's a hole in the sky You and I may not live forever But our words never die I don't need a reason I don't need to explain I know it's dying season I don't need to be saved But you, you fought so fucking hard Rationalized your butchered heart To keep the fire burning Coiling, the ouroboros rise The viscious cycle of our lives eternally returning Somewhere between love and sorrow There's an ocean of lies You and I may not see tomorrow But our words never die But you, you tried so fucking hard Can't seem to cauterize your scars And stop your pride from bleeding Coiling, the ouroboros rise The viscious cycle of our lives eternally repeating Somewhere between love and failure There's a crow in the sky You and I may not live forever But our words never die We never die

Was it something I said That bruised or broke your fragile skin, my friend? But how could I Have known the dead would be so sensitive? The cretin king has risen from the shallow dirt we buried him To save us from bereavement for his warm beloved temperament Come down, give up the stones you're casting at me So sad, with every throw your bones heard cracking For a skeleton, you've got a lot to say It's such a shame that no one's listening I think your skeletons, they've got a lot to say Now what made you think it means shit to me? Was it something I did That summoned up the living dead again To criticize Is so remiss of walking skeletons The cretin king has risen, built a monument to fools again To save us from bereavement for his warm beloved temperament Come down, give up the stones you casted at me So sad, such a sad, sad song, with every throw your bones heard cracking For a skeleton, you've got a lot to say It's such a shame that no one's listening I think your skeletons, they've got a lot to say Now what made you think it means shit to me? Why you insist on keeping one foot out of the grave, I'll never know It's lonely in death, but just think of the breath that you'll save It gets old For a skeleton, you've got a lot to say It's such a shame that no one's listening I think your skeletons, they've got a lot to say Now what made you think it means shit to me?

I am a son of hate, of pure hostility No one is safe, no one is taking me alive I was born in flames, in scathing disarray And every path I take leads to the hell inside It's all I've known Breathing the fire inside of me To burn this day alive Smoldering in anxiety And from this ash I rise You're not too young to die, too old to feel alive The throes of time could give a fuck what you believe I was born in fire and with this hell inside And every path I take leads through eternity It's all I've known Breathing the fire inside of me To burn this day alive Smoldering in anxiety And from this ash I rise And from this ash I rise

Preaching to the wicked, on the tenets of ire A sermon of malevolence for the unwise I feel a change swelling inside A terror manifesting itself to the light I can't stop and why would I try? Becoming what I long denied There isn't a safe way that I could ever tell you And I won't remember this battery that befell you The gold and black emerging through the white of the eye Unretractable claws of the vile I feel a change swelling inside I'm girding for the purging of myself in the fire Seeing red until I go blind Becoming what I've long denied for all this time There isn't a safe way I could ever tell you And I won't remember this battery that befell you And yet again I waken to an unfamiliar place I'm dreading this is the day the blood on my hands came from your face Don't stay, save your life And leave me behind Don't stay, save your life And leave me behind Sinking my teeth into you Hurting within And I wish it were untrue But this is what I am Don't stay, save your life And leave me behind Don't stay, you'd never survive The changing inside of me

I lived in shame eighty-seven days I wore the scars of failure Forsaken but this is my crusade Is this the undertow of tragedy? The question begs an answer Death obsessed, I drive into the sea And now I've found the titan that has haunted me Casting out my brother and my enemy Bury me under this spiteful sea Take the life it took away from me Bury me under this spiteful sea Carry on, I will return I'm bleeding out into the swollen waves My struggle to defend this Victory, for this is my crusade Is this the undertow of tragedy? The question begs an answer Death obsessed, I drive into the sea Now I've put down the titan that once haunted me Dragging out my brother and my enemy Bury me under this spiteful sea Take the life it took away from me Bury me under this spiteful sea Carry on, I will return Bury me under the spiteful sea Take the life it took away from me Bury me under the spiteful sea Carry on I will return
