1. Bastard Screams
Chewing on razorblades again
Suckling wounds that forever unend
These bastard screams in whirlwind screams
Spoken tragedy of blackened dreams
Poison words fill the air again
With the strength to tear my skin
As the damned engulf our lives
Following the sea of unlit eyes
Retaliation burns a desperate flame around my throat
The pressure's building up, I want to make my tongue explode
The bastard screams, they keep calling me
Spoken tragedy of blackened dreams
The bastard screams, they keep calling me
Why won't they just let me die?
Won't they let me dye?
Ablaze my soul, feel the blow as I fool and take the delta pain
What I say is that we feed the deltas to the dogs
What I feel, what I know is that I'd find a better life below
Somewhere in the earth, where I won't hear the sound
Retaliation burns a desperate flame around my throat
The pressure's building up, I want to make my tongue explode
If I let go I might have found the way to go
At least I get to feel my nerve
The bastard screams, they keep calling me
Spoken tragedy of blackened dreams
The bastard screams, they keep calling me
Why won't they just let me die?
A bullet doesn't fly a thousand miles away
Just like I couldn't die a thousand deaths
But if I keep this flame of bitterness and hate
It will keep me warm until my dying day
I hear them
I feel them
I loathe them
These words become my world
2. Mourning In Magenta
Living in a word of what's been said
What I know is I feel dead
Alone and in this world so cold
Emptying the urn of all that'[s left
Burning the candle at both ends
One less flame awaits the dawn
Would I walk right down to the end
And then push my soul right in
As I watch the remains of my soul
Lost in a crimson flow
Seated on the edge of all that's left
An empty shell full of regret
And the burden of life goes on
Praying for the shining light beyond your life
To put an end to your forever lnight
Embraced upon the sorrow razorborn smile
So I walk right down to the end
And I push my soul right in
As I watch the remains of my soul
Lost in a crimson flow
And I watch the remains of my soul
My soul is shut
My soul is shut
My soul is shut
My soul is shut
So I walk right down to the end
And I push my soul right in
As I watch the remains of my soul
Lost in a crimson flow
And I feel that I might be dead
And I know it might be said
Free from this world so dark and cold
3. Compass
Leeches behold you bleed our daylight faces
Bastard screams puncture my thundernight
A sickle smile crafting words with a firetongue
My sanity is cast to the worms
And it's over before it's under (The creation of nothingness)
They beckon you with a siren's call
Hedon heralds of the downward spiral
Point me to the sky, let me know
Directions in which I should go
Now's the time, read the signs, follow and prepare new adventures for the mind
Until the echoes of the stormbreed have gone
You know your time is wasted, be honest with me
I'll take what's mine, give it back to me
Piece of mind, tranquility
My ears don't listen, they're so full of soil
In this peaceful prison, what's become of my life
(Point me to the sky,) let me know
Directions in which I should go
Now's the time, read the signs, follow and prepare new adventures for the mind
Until the echoes of the stormbreed have gone
4. Rapture
Why now am I smitten?
My wings melted off by the sun
Amidst a retina divided to fractions
All fragments victims of apprehension
Benighted by infinite failures
Since I've been stained by this rapture
I spit at the sun and the moon
Now I take my pain and walk the path
Drenched with the blood of the angels
What will become of me?
As I paint my walls with suggestion
No multiple colos, all shades of black
I take my place among the ruins of our lost generation
All systems screaming, all but one
Now I keep this pain, a token of hate
Will eat my scars and throw them up again
Become my sin, become my scythe, pierce my skin
Turn my cards face down
Now as I look to the sky,
Lost, it has my admiration
Free from the damned, that pulls the world down
Now I take my pain and walk the path
Drenched with the blood of the angels
What will become of me?
Benighted by infinite failures
Since I've been stained by this rapture
I spit at the sun and the moon
Now I take my pain and walk the path
Drenched with the blood of the angels
What will become of me?
5. Drowning Sun
6. Against The Elements
We're all born with a terminal chip installed
And a noose wrapped around the neck
Swallow pride, bite the pain
As you join the world on a steel coffin ride
MY heart burns as I feel my pulse quicken
My only thought is to be erased
To be dissolved like a sunstruck shadow
Combat the winds with a serpent smile
One by one we'll be erased
'til our circuitry gets rearranged
We embrace the sky...why do we fail to fly?
This is it, it's the time
The reassessment of the artist of the mind
(Indecipherable)
One by one we'll be erased
'til our circuitry gets rearranged
We embrace the sky...why do we fail to fly?
Yet in awe we try again
We embrace the sky...why do we fail to fly?
The elements we're up against
7. Release
Why am I trapped in these things I feel
An existence so surreal
These fabricated walls that hold me inside
Unjustly charged with my greatest fears
That this existence is a part of it
Every time I try to starve this frenzy, it swallows me
A tortured mind embraced upon sorrow
Holding myself in contempt
The bittersweet emptiness of a man possessed
But I know it won't be long until I let it go
This spirit that resists a world of what is gone
Are we blind too weak to fight
The bending sea, this plague of life
And we compose our lot in life
Blindly searching for ways to go
I've seen the world...can I take the fall?
Should I set resistance free
And let the current carry me
Through this pale glass river to a hollow sea
As I stand upon the shore, I always wanted more
But what I found is that this shit's worth dying for
I've seen the world...can I take the fall?
Should I set resistance free
And let the current carry me
Through this pale glass river to a hollow sea
8. Bending Sea
We pray to the man made god
Our identity all but lost
Ever searching to find yourself
Through this maelstrom of corporate hell
The bending sea attacks the weak
Engulfing the heartfelt world
The waves come crashing down
With arms of bitter savage beasts
Yet we swim this race
Always hampered by the loss of sight
The threat of drowning not enough to quell the sacrifice
But who can recount it all
The high daring in the will
Conscience lost in a tranquil sleep
Drowning yourself in the bending sea
The bending sea attacks the weak
Engulfing the heartfelt world
The waves come crashing down
With arms of bitter savage beasts
Lost as one...
Within the storm and wrath of whirlwind
Mankind lost as one
9. Embers Astray
Moving out from the inside, we breed our extinction
An approaching era of unlight beyond comprehension
What is what was what went wrong, the screams of the ageless
Brought down by the disease installed in the formula for our creation
We hear the final call
Echoing rage through the blood stained walls
Mother nature can feel the end
The coming face of season hell
When the last rain of judgement washes away
Traces of our existence, burnt embers astray
Encrypted fossils of insight (Explore the enigma)
The tragedies on the human show
Our trusted leaders sell humanity by the pound
For reasons we'll never know
We hear the final call
Echoing rage through the blood stained walls
Mother nature can feel the end
The coming face of season hell
This ship has sailed with ever decreasing profits
While we see the end we refuse to stop it
Why can't we see, until a change is made
Evernight sweeps the other side
Unmask the earth charade
What is me? A smile upon the end
Faithless, soulless, shameless man
Somewhere lost his way
When the last rain of judgement washes away
Traces of our existence, burnt embers astray
10. Riddle Of Steel
