Goddamned
I woke up in this hallowed grave
It's so hard to breathe
It's so hard to feel in this dimension unknown
I faught with vengeance
I bled allegiance to him
But time revealed the ultimate betrayal
Now he's callin' out to me
He's callin' out to you
I won't believe 'til I see the fuckin' truth
I lived in vein and I owe it to a gift from your God
I see right through it
I've been goddamned
I woke up dead with shattered bones
Disgarded like a drone
I don't believe that I was left here to die
You wear your crown of thorns
You wear it so well
I pray for broken souls
To take me straight to fuckin' hell - Track Name: I Remember
-
I Remember
I've had enough of this weakness
These made up diseases
I've had enough of this compromise
It's all so meaningless to me
It's my body it's my mind
I don't need you to question why
I desecrate my existence
Let it go please let me go
I remember it well a night so cold
You turned your head to hide your eyes
I'll never concede that I need you
Now I'm free to have a reason to beg for your demise
I Remember
I sunk you like a stone on the other side
A river filled with pain will rot your mind
A shallow grave unsound I'll leave you to die
Never mistake my silence for weakness
I will never break
I'll bring you to your knees again - Track Name: Nightmare
-
Nightmare
Nightmare
I am your headtrip nightmare
I'm gonna eat you on the inside so I can feel alive
I am your head trip nightmare
You are an illness and you're not right
You never cared enough to deny
It isn't fair to assume that the pain is enough to persuade and fill me with fear
You can't survive on hope on your own
The need to feed this urge carries on
Now you're the odd one out
Not the left not the right not the end nor the center
You fabricate your world
Create your belief
What right do you have the right to deny the con
I'll realign my words to show you you're wrong
So carry on now fascinate yourself with your reflection
One last time - Track Name: Spirit Carousel
-
Spirit Carousel
You waited for the night to take you home
You waited for the night to take you
I've been left in the cold
With nowhere to go
I've been left all alone
With no one to turn to and nowhere to hide
I had lost all faith in myself
I had lost the courage to take a ride on a spirit carousel
Alone
You waited all this time for answers
You wasted all this time to change - Track Name: Life I Know
-
Life I Know
This is the life I know
But I can't seem to relate
In the end I try to laugh it off
And hope it all goes away
Hate
This hatred berates
Hatred berates my life
I sail from the mind
To the outside world
I weave through time and space
To go where I want to go alone
I want to lose all touch
With this reality
Time to play on your emotions
Sometimes I hate everything I see
But I know this life just can't last forever
It's so damned nice to know
That I can't leave willingly
A life I never chose to lead
A life I never chose to be
Bleeding in your head relieving conscious needing
Suffocate the beating heart deceiving nauseous seething
Heaving yearning nothing but to seek relief in taken life
Time to play on your emotions
When all you have has gone away
It just can't last
Lyrics by Dominic Cifarelli
Additional Lyrics by Andrew Wieczorek - Track Name: In Ruins
-
In Ruins
Welcome my dear old friend
I've been waiting so long to see you again
I see that you've lost all sense of trust and harmony within
Now what if I were to say
You always let the filthy worms in
You let them play and lay seeds of waste in your mind
Now you're left in ruins
By a liar by a thief
In your home you're left here wastin'
Like a lion with no teeth and no throne
There's no way to get out of here
They'll wait for the light to burn out in you
The they'll be waiting watching your every move
What to do?
Blame it on your absent saviour
There's no way to get away from them
They'll watch and they'll wait so patiently
Then you'll regret the trust that you gave so easily
Blame it on your absent saviour
There must be a way out of here
Don't wait for the light to burn out
Lyrics by Dominic Cifarelli - Track Name: Hatred In My Heart
-
Hatred In My Heart
I am catastrophe personified
I know because I help create the fight
Confused by what's a dream and waking life
I am the only me I'll never know
I know the tragedy I need to feel
Alive and so ill
Here lies a part of me that never heals
Now I'm the only me I'll never show
I wasted every little thing I lived for
I choked when everything I love derailed
Now I know all I ever really wanted
Was to lose this hatred in my heart
I know the atrophy of my belief has taken hold
Over and over
I feel anxiety will never leave me time to breathe
Not 'til it's over
I know it's my fault
Lyrics by Dominic Cifarelli - Track Name: Violet Empress (Last Love)
-
Violet Empress (Last Love)
I saw too much and I wish that I was told
A beast was born with an endless scorn
The way she moves she's got that hauntin' stride
She'll stop your heart so she could watch you die
It was her eyes
All I ever wanted
It was a lie
That destroyed a promise
These were the last words
She said to me
I'll kill your fuckin' heart
I'm gonna bleed it 'til the last drop
I'll cut your tongue to end your last words
I promise
I'll be the last love you ever know
You're bleeding under cover
Rest your mind
I saw too much and I wish that I was told
You just can't ignore the pain the memories hold
I carved it on my bones so I'd never forget
This goddamned mess she left inside my head
You know it's not right
The way that she deceives
It's not right another day with no relief
So I pray for violence
What controls your life?
Lyrics by Dominic Cifarelli
Additional Lyrics by Andrew Wieczorek - Track Name: Greet The Sun
-
Greet The Sun
I have followed you
Tracing your steps to this ancient mine
A belief the son will slay the sun when it's all right
I've seen your potential lay waste all essential
Take flight and on your way
Open sail and see the wars you wage
You knocked the pillars of the craft disdain
Rolling and burning from the impact on your way
On your way to greet the sun lay waste
And when the light stops flickering
And a cool wind's blowing
We turn around
You turn around
To see your demise
With leaden eyes
Lyrics by Rico Antonucci - Track Name: A Trillion Lights
-
A Trillion Lights
Running around the sphere of fabricated fear
The walls that were up for so long have finally come down
The tail eaten by the snake
The order is out of sync
So prepare the route the onus is always on us and our loved ones
Are we are setting the course right?
To a new world in one of the trillion lights
Israfel please grant us hope
We are innocent souls
We've got a long way to go
We've got so far to go
Now displaced from the land we'll climb the tallest tree
Terrestrial roots take hold with universal consent
Where the starborn child was raised and the rivers flowed with blood
Are now memories
Distant divide but still morbid realities
Israfel please grant us the hope
We are innocent souls
We've got a long way to go
We've got so far to go
We are the innocent souls forced to leave our homes
With new life born abroad the cycle of war has been stopped
For the future now seems so bright instincts were so right
Where the starborn child was raised and the rivers flowed with blood are now memories
Distant divide but still morbid realities
The reign is restrained
Formed from fire
And in the limelight we ran about freely
And on the world stage we ran about freely
Lyrics by Rico Antonucci
