BLACK DOGS
In this rotting century of hate
Your troubled mind
My troubled mind
Our troubled minds
This world is full of suffering
The misery is taking me under
Now it’s spreading
And swallows everything
Standing here alone on the edge
Descending into the darkness
Standing here alone on the edge
Descending into the darkness
The voices are deceiving
This isn’t me I’m sinking
In a rotting century of hate
Estrangement from reality
Fading away into nothing
I didn’t want to feel
Or remember
Standing here alone on the edge
Descending into the darkness
Standing here alone on the edge
Descending into the darkness
Demons are calling me
They dig in their nails
And pull me away
Demons are calling me
All I see is the end
Just a way to escape
I don’t eat
I won’t sleep for days,
I didn’t want to feel.
I didn’t want to dream,
In this rotting century.
I didn’t want to remember anything, anymore
I didn’t want to be a part of it
This rotting century of hate
Demons and black dogs
A torture without mercy
The coldest darkest place
Demons and black dogs
A torture without mercy
The coldest, darkest, place

The Rising Tide

The Rising Tide
The darkness falls on roofs and walls
Sea in the night it calls
Crashing waves, cold white hands, feet in the sand
Fear grips me round my throat
I scrawl my suicide note
Dark visions of my demise
The waves drag me out to the sea
I tread the water, till I finally drown
I’m sinking in my deep blue hell
I tread the water, till I drown
Can’t stem the rising tide
I exhale
I lost you to the ocean blue
After all we’ve been through
Stare into the abyss
There must be something more
Fear grips me round my throat
I scrawl my suicide note
Dark visions of my demise
The waves, drag me out to the sea
I tread the water, till I finally drown
I’m sinking in my deep blue hell
I tread the water, till I drown
Can’t stem the rising tide
I exhale, as the darkness falls
As the darkness falls
The water fills my lungs
As the darkness falls
Visions of our demise
Visions of our demise
I tread the water, till I finally drown
I’m sinking in my deep blue hell
I tread the water, till I drown
Can’t stem the rising tide
I exhale

Our Demise

OUR DEMISE
Millions of mouthless dead
Empty words ring through my head
How the fuck will they ever know
When blind eyes don’t see the tears flow
With dark thoughts
Of shame and malice
Smile at them from the door
With a poisoned chalice
Show me a sign of life
Is anyone left alive?
We’ve seen the darkness of our demise
Show me a sign of life
Is anyone left alive?
We’ve seen the darkness of our demise
Sing sorrow, immortal spheres
A glory that shines upon our tears
Out of mind, out of sight
A rage that burns long into the night
Let them paint our graves
In white and red
We screamed to be free
When the cowards fled
This is our war, we’ll never tire
Our armies march, to their darkest day
Show me a sign of life
Is anyone left alive?
We’ve seen the darkness of our demise
Show me a sign of life
Is anyone left alive?
We’ve seen the darkness of our demise
Wide-eyed and helpless
My cradle, my fortress
Wide-eyed and helpless
My cradle, my fortress
Show me a sign of life
Is anyone left alive?
We’ve seen the darkness of our demise
Show me a sign of life
Is anyone left alive?
We’ve seen the darkness of our demise

THE WARMTH
My dying child
A fragment of a tragic mind
The people cried
We lost our way
Don’t save our souls
Fuck humankind
Desensitised by genocide
Nothing feels right
How do we feel this hole?
Your broken mind
You’re lost inside
I see the signs
You’re lost inside
When chaos burns like a flame
We fall in love with the warmth
I sit and watch it burn away
We fall in love with the warmth
Her stomach turns
Like a fault line ripping through the land
The embers fill the earth
We stand and watch it glow
Fuck humankind
Desensitised by genocide
Nothing feels right
How do we fill this hole?
We’re out of time
Why can’t we find
Our holy shrine
Our blood red lines
When chaos burns like a flame
We fall in love with the warmth
I sit and watch it burn away
We fall in love with the warmth
I sit and watch, it burn away
We fall in love with the warmth
We saw the end of days
When worlds were torn apart
We saw the end of days
When worlds were torn apart
There’s nothing left
Nothing I remember
Nothing I call home
There’s nothing left
Nothing I remember
Nothing I call home
When chaos burns like a flame
We fall in love with the warmth
I sit and watch it burn away
We fall in love with the warmth
I sit and watch, it burn away
We fall in love with the warmth

WALLS OF JERICHO
You are bound helpless
By a knotted tongue
When death comes knocking
Don’t you come crawling
No mercy for your kind
You had your warning
The Walls of Jericho are falling
This is your final fucking calling
I love just how far you’d go
To make what you want yours
Go lose yourself in this world
Your time’s run out
A life so reckless
Without a conscience
A monster tormenting my heart and soul
The Walls of Jericho are falling
They won’t hear their names cry
I love just how far you’d go
To make what you want yours
Go lose yourself in this world
Your time’s run out
Rot in your grave
You can't be saved, you've sealed your fate
There's no escape, ruined by the life you've chased
A life of violence
Mistakes degrade
The shame of regret
The Walls of Jericho are falling
This is your final fucking calling
I love just how far you’d go
To make what you want yours
Go lose yourself in this world
Your time’s run out

YOUR APOCALYPSE
Black clouds gather, it's now time to face our fear
Pierced through the heart with a burning spear
You can’t run from me, there’s no place to hide
Here’s your apocalypse
Jump on!
Jump on for the ride
Eyes I dare not meet
In Death’s dream kingdom no one hears your screams
Eyes I dare not meet
The supplication of a dead man’s hand
Begging for mercy across the Earth’s scorched land
A grave to bury all our shame inside
Oceans on fire and giants collide
Here’s your apocalypse
Jump on!
Jump on for the ride
Eyes I dare not meet
In Death’s dream kingdom no one hears your screams
Eyes I dare not meet
The supplication of a dead man’s hand
There will be no heaven
There will be no hell
There will be no Zion
The march of folly is led by titans
The howling wind, the bleeding siren
A grave to bury all our shame inside
The planet shakes, the canyons widen
Eyes I dare not meet
In Death’s dream kingdom no one hears your screams
Eyes I dare not meet
The supplication of a dead man’s hand
There will be no heaven
There will be no hell
There will be no Zion

WITH SCARS
All that you take from me
Is the life I’ll never have again
As you watch it slip away
There’s nothing left to keep you here
I have watched the divide
Between you and I
Growing wider and wider
It’s getting harder to breathe
With scars and anguish
There’ll be no sacrifice
I have nothing to offer you
As you watch it slip away
There’s nothing left to keep you here
Keep you here
To keep you here
We’ve taken for granted
Walk with chest held high
In the shadows of castles
Never stopped to ask why
With scars and anguish
There’ll be no sacrifice
I have nothing to offer you
With scars and anguish
There’ll be no sacrifice
I have nothing to offer you
I have watched the divide
Between you and I
Growing wider and wider
It’s getting harder to breathe
Slip down through the cracks of time
With scars and anguish
There’ll be no sacrifice
I have nothing to offer you
Slip down through the cracks of time

Our Curse
04:11
|

OUR CURSE
Take your soul from out of the red and black tongues
Scream for salvation at the top of our lungs
And how fire runs, far as the sea
Is this the end for you and me?
This world will pass away
And collapse into decay
I possessed the kingdom of a hundred worlds
We thought we were the blessing
(Wake up)
Wake up to our curse
I have a furnace for you in my mouth,
We have five hundred souls in our crowd
A force as fierce as a mushroom cloud
Our hatred for you is as pure as it is loud
This world will pass away
And collapse into decay
I possessed the kingdom of a hundred worlds
We thought we were the blessing
(Wake up)
Wake up to our curse
Now at our lowest, the wind is burning
Heads spinning
Don’t you find the noise disturbing?
Life confined
Behind the veil of burning silence bound
Send them to hell, unleash the hounds
The fear that you peddle comes back around
No peace, no love, no empathy, no sound
This world will pass away
And collapse into decay
I possessed the kingdom of a hundred worlds
We thought we were the blessing
(Wake up)
Wake up to our curse

AGONY
Let's get it set straight
There’s really no more time
You held my feet up to the flame
And watched the lies just bleed out
The memory of you
Emerges from the night around me
White knuckled, oh so desperately I hold on to you
The ceaseless agony
Pushing me back
And pulling me
Relentless tragedy
Tearing the life
Out of me
The ceaseless agony
Pushing me back
And pulling me
Relentless tragedy
Tearing the life
Out of me
Wrap me in your sweet embrace
When I’m lost and alone
My darkest hours
Lead me to a place of suffering
I hold onto a memory
Just don’t forget me
When I’m gone
White knuckled, oh so desperately I hold on to you
Am I the architect
Of my own destruction?
Am I the architect
Of my own destruction?
The ceaseless agony
Pushing me back
And pulling me
Relentless tragedy
Tearing the life
Out of me
The ceaseless agony
Pushing me back
And pulling me
Relentless tragedy
Tearing the life
Out of me
My darkest hours
Lead me to a place of suffering
Suffering
The ceaseless agony
Pushing me back
And pulling me
Relentless tragedy
Tearing the life
Out of me
The ceaseless agony
Pushing me back
And pulling me
Relentless tragedy
Tearing the life
Out of me

A WORLD ON FIRE
We’ve lost ourselves
In a storm of what ifs
We are at war with one another
With our hearts against minds
There is no escape
We screamed for redemption
Look at the mess we made
We weeped into the ocean
And breathed in the flames
Hope is not for the wise
And fear is just for fools
When the gift of chaos lurks
Well its wasted on those who refuse to learn
Once again
The glow returns
So now the fallen city will burn
We screamed for redemption
Look at the mess we made
We weep into the oceans
And breathe in the flames
Our world is on fire
Our world is on fire
Watch it burn
When forests turn to black ash
And acid rains from iron clouds
Our world is on fire
Our world is gone so fast
Our world is on fire
Our world It never stood a chance
We breathe in the flames
We screamed for redemption
Look at the mess we made
We weep into the oceans
And breathe in the flames
