1. Intro
Fire
Absent to reinvent
Fire
Descent has left me cold and vacant
Fire
Absent to reinvent
Fire
Descent has left me cold
Down I go into the depths of me
Below all hope I must be
Leave the person I hate inside
Renew, begin below
Bottom of the soul
Dive deeper than the mainstream, I leave it above me
Some would sink these depths to win
I sink these depths to start again
Below the tread of foot my underbelly scrapes the earth
Bottom of the soul or vortex-maybe hole?
My flesh is peeling from all of this healing that I’m feeling
Revealing the enemy in me
To bloody victory
No one to intervene
Trapped inside myself- directed to a life obscene
What is left? left of me
The person that I was is dead as dead could be
Save yourself, let me die
There is no hope for me to live don’t even fucking try
No return from the edge
I’ve fallen off the fucking ledge
I’m dying in my sleep
No god- my soul to keep
I’ve pissed my life away
I see only grey
I arise, free of failure
With hate to raise me up
No peace to hold me down
Fear to replace my love
Forward to destiny
The eye of fate fixed upon me
Alone through terrors unforeseen
Through the black I long to see
Ready?

3. Queen Of Sorrow
No- they turn on me again, betrayal of a friend
Another story written with an end thats so familiar to me
I see the one whom all of this tension flows
I know the one to blame for those
Liars, deceivers, backstabbing whores
The lies, the pain, the sacrifice
All pissed away by your cruel device
While you mourn the loss of all in your life
Remember your part in creating strife
A living, breathing pity machine
Of royal blood youre sorrows Queen
All bow to the Queen of sorrow, bow down
Queen of Sorrow in your fortress dethroned
4. A War Without End... Amen.
A War for the ages, shifting of tide
Morality, hatred and ethnic divide
Onward to Mecca with crosses in hand
Attack without blessing in God’s holy land
Ancient division, revision of sight
Perception of hatred as man’s holy right
A war without end over God sheds no light
When souls burn in hell as the fields burn the night
I’ll send your son to protect my way of life
A war for the ages, shifting of tide
No boundary, no continental divide
Where doctors of spin ease ours minds when it’s said
That “the victor is proven by numbers of dead”
A warrior dies, a god left in place
Inspiring thousands to hatred of race
An empire rises, with ashes it falls
As we sleep with our enemies within these walls
I’ll send your son to protect my way of life
As souls burn in hell and oil fires burn the night
I the walking dead, woeful are the sheep
In blots of low I stray, beyond the cradle keep
5. Crucifixer
I never knew the holy man inside of you
I swear to god a crown of kings must weight a nod
I never thought of you as savior of the lot
The way you speak you were sent from god to lead the meek
The proper thing would be to bow to the utter selflessness of ”thou”
I hoped that you would slit your throat for martyrdom seems too remote
For you to take a chance and pray for god to take your soul away
And leave your legacy behind
Your patron-sainted death defined
I pray for all of you
Praise the motherfuckers
You must be brave- the hammered hands and feet you gave
Your body dried- bile, blood and water from your side
The living dead- a crown of thorns gashed through your head
I must be wrong- I thought you nameless all along
You’re fucking wrong
I pray for all of you
6. Anti!
You’re one and the same
We’re Anti Rose city hardcore scene
Anti St Kitts Emo queens
Anti fashion society
And all y’all profess to be
Our city’s run by dead bodies
Who drink in Port while the city bleeds
The Meth gets sold as the businesses leave
An empty core where the homeless grieve
I hate this fucking shit city
Where none will change the hole they see
So welcome to the ST.C
A population minus dignity
An army of complacent soldiers
Dying in this hell
Antichrist- the world that infects us- Antichrist
Burn this city, burn this fucker down
Burn this city, burn this fucking town
Burn this city, burn it to the ground
7. Recommit Rising
I am filth again, covered in ashes
Burned by the fire- the flame that cleansed
Darkened days have led to red
At the core of this whore lies the hate I must shed
Black and the red, the living and dead
Together as needle and thread
I may be dead, but I will rise with flame to burn
I may be dead but I will rise again- A darkened soul
I want to burn the world
My fear, my flame, my fury
I want to burn the world
I re-commit…Rising
I died for you
But I will rise again
8. Whispers
Empty is this place
Battered is my heart
Scars upon my face
I have come apart
Forever in your grasp
To never walk alone
I wander in this darkened world
My heart has turned to stone
Places black as coal
Where light is never shed
The air is stale and pungent here
The contents of my head
Straining for a glimpse
Of what lies through the dark
But all I grasp is emptiness
And I have come apart
Whispers in my head
Telling me to run
And tell you that I love you
Before we come undone
Whispers in my head
Quieting my fear
Telling me the reckoning of judgment day is near
I hate to see the end
Of all that we hold dear
But we cannot defend
A history of lie
Aggression, genocide
But people still pretend
That we are innocent
9. Draconis
Crown of thorns and devil horns
2 babies that were never born
Have fed the flame that burns in me
Through dragon’s eye my sight does see
A seed is grown with fire is sown
By hammered hands and broken bones
These wings of death engulf the sky
From death come life through death may die
From fear and flame we are born of pain
Resurrect this broken frame
Of broken hope we are rid of hope wasted fucking hope
We pierce the guise and glimpse their lies
That penetrate become their lives
We free our minds
Between the lines
We’ve read between the lies
Hated, humiliated ultimately violated
Degraded, desecrated, our ego masturbated
Dragon of the eye
Perceiver of the lie
In judgment blood and wine
Devoured flesh of mind
The Dragon
Ashes raining fire, A burning soul’s desire
Now rid of shame we stoke the flame
With enemy to bear the blame
From broken hope we swear an oath
A sacred fucking oath
We’ve pierced through lie, made black the sky
Taken back our stolen lives
Freed our minds between the lines
We’ve read between the lies
