4. I Bleed
1. Storm
Silence, Impartiality… And it’s over… It’s finally over…
And it’s over! The war is over! It’s finally over! The war is over for us!
Silence, Impartiality…
And it’s over! The war is over!
Silence, Impartiality…
And it’s over! It’s finally over! This war is over! It’s finally over for us!
Given our options, I think we should move along.
The pain in my head has tormented me for far too long.
There’s nothing here for us,
So why does leaving feel so wrong?
[Chorus]
A storm in the form of a man
The enigmatic life that we had planned
Destroyers among us, the bloom of the lotus,
The fall of the year is at hand.
I live my bloody life in the moment.
By percent I sniffed most of the roses.
I think I will be sent to the core,
The tears I need won’t fall anymore.
Over the mountain
Blood from a fountain
Pulled by your heart
Life in reverse.
Given our options, I think we should move along.
The pain in my head has tormented me for far too long.
There’s nothing here for us,
So why does leaving feel so wrong?
2. Nelumbo Lucifera
Look now try not to miss it
Just over that next omission
Define your terms and destroy translation
What side best is chosen.
Look for me to end the debate
Intrinsically I shudder to think
Most overlook the meaning
What truth, what book, he’s bleeding.
I’m perfectly happy dying here
I have no god, no hapless fear
My cause is for me and me alone
Do not mistake for a man who cares
No! No! … My thoughts are all my own.
Corrosive tongue, intrepid guide, the left turns right
I’m on my way, your opinions flawed, folklore gone mad
God or Satan, to hell with it all, the end begins with me!
De profundis
The cries of a world gone mad
Crushing the spirit of man with religion, we finally made our decision
Rebirth for the fools with no minds
Millions are dead under guise of pure wisdom, comfort they find in their schism
The dead will arise to relive
How can your tongue speak with hypo-bi-section whilst culling the demon’s erection?
The teaching of christ the man
Love one another, there must be no killing
With these words you are unwilling
(Love one another Nelumbo Lucifera)
Peace on earth – a cry of pure malice
Turn from their words – Refused from the chalice
3. Burning Alive
Burning Alive! Burning Alive!
Blackened sky, pure fire, pure ire
God blames us all.
Nukes explode, scorched earth,
Burned dust, post-fire storm.
Plain as day, I weep, I bleed
Scream for all men
Count the cost, too high, too much
Kill, sort them then
<Ageless> Why the argument, why the malcontent?
<Ageless> Why the argument, why the dark portent?
Halt attrition, bad decision
When we arrived
False admission, blind perception
Burned us alive.
Bless all ye children
Plague hath come again
Fire purify
Greed-infested earth
Destroyer!
We tried so hard to stop it
Our enemies confirmed it.
The media fed the fire!
Bless all ye children
Plague hath come again
Fire purify
Greed infested earth
Destroyer!
Burning Alive! (X3)
4. I Bleed
The mind is a traveler far beyond reckon
And can take you away from your pain.
From the time that we’re born
To the moment we die,
It protects ‘til the end of our days.
So then how is it we bleed forever in pain
When our loves ones are swept far away
It’s the fear and the anger – the illusion of dying
That I felt as you went to your grave
I bleed!
Why won’t you talk to me
Why can’t you answer me?
I lay here alone and afraid
I called out your name so many times
To keep all the sadness at bay (away).
Why won’t you talk to me
Please won’t you talk to me
Please won’t you answer me
I’m back in your arms once again.
My life is forever tied with (to) your memory
I’ll never forget what you said
I bleed!
Gone without a trace
I won’t forget
You were so tired
I understand
Please rest in peace
As I lament
2 AM and I stopped breathing
Years pass on, I can’t stop dreaming.
Haunting cries drown my own screaming
The sun has risen, I am free to live.
Tears fill my eyes and I weep
Your face fills mind as I bleed
For all of these years, I’m so happy.
