The End - Never
00:53
|

This is the end, the beginning of the end
Watch everything fall down into the sand
Pick up the pieces and get back up again
This is a battle that you know you can't win
Not straining anymore
I'll give up if that's what you want
Just to become another statistic
If it proves anything to you

Doomed to Eternity

Doomed to eternity in hell
Cut off the right hand, fingers to spare
My soul you can't sell
This is the badge of truth we wear
Entropy is the finest thing to see
Everything declines into burning red seas
This is the end
No more strength left to defend
Left behind why should we care about them
When nobody cared about us
Burn it down, we're not done
Until the fires reach the sun
Doomed to eternity in hell
Cut off the right hand, fingers to spare
My soul you can't sell
This is the badge of truth we wear
Entropy is the finest thing to see
Everything declines into burning red seas
This is the end
As the soil cracks and ashes fade away
Memories and history does the same
Every wrong done, everyone who's been hurt
None of it will matter in the end
This is the end
No more strength left to defend

Dying in Dreams
03:20
|
|||
We are alive
Until we fear no more
Everything cuts to black
The warmth envelops us all
Dying in dreams
I cannot feel this pain
To hate what does not exist
Inside an invisible bloodrain
If you're gonna sleep
Sleep with one eye open
A nightmare surrounding
An end impending
Our doom
The carriers of our humanly disease
Bedridden by falsehoods to our knees
Dying in dreams
I cannot feel this pain
To hate what does not exist
Inside an invisible bloodrain
If you're gonna sleep
Sleep with one eye open
A nightmare surrounding
An end impending

Unliving
04:54
|
|||
This is the end
We're standing in rows
Cast upon us
The shroud of reality
Send help
We're all dying here
Death breathes
Unliving
Piss away your life
And have no fear
As sharp as the knife
That cuts through the mirror
I've lost all hope
Can't keep my chin up
Fuck optimism
Bliss exists when you resist
Send help
We're all dying here
Death breathes
Unliving
Sparrows swarm
This is the end
We're standing in rows
Sparrows swarm
A perpetual state of destruction from our laborious induction
Strained and fighting and flying towards a reduction
Armageddon, light
Blacker than the night sky
We all knew we never stood a chance
Screams echo around me
Death and pain all I see
It means nothing
We see visions from the blackened sea
Send help
Sparrows swarm

Day Shift
04:04
|
|||
Emerge from the night
Step out into the light
Nothing feels the same, nothing's right
Feel like giving up, well I might
Day shift
I'm so fucking tired of this mess I left to claim my take
You're so fucking tried and useless don't you ever feel fake
Is this just what it's like to die
When I close my eyes I can't see the light
Release endorphins to chill the spine
Emerge from the night
Step out into the light
Nothing feels the same, nothing's right
Feel like giving up, well I might
Is this just what it's like to die
When I close my eyes I can't see the light
Everything's fine when you're crying all the time
It all blends together with no reason or rhyme
It doesn't make sense to be afraid of death
Does it really matter where we end up in the end
These are the words of the pessimist
One of these days you'll be one of them
In the end
Is this just what it's like to die
When I close my eyes I can't see the light

Without a Voice
03:26
|

It's our monolithic identity that keeps us from salvation
Unchanging through time, unearthing the dark
Our desires are greater than us, one of these days
One of these days we'll all die
The dreamer, believer
Throat ripped from his corpse
Maybe Charon's obol will settle the score
Sick of telling stories
Fatigued from spouting naysay
In the words of an allegory
Every dog has his day
It's our monolithic identity that keeps us from salvation
Unchanging through time, unearthing the dark
Our desires are greater than us, one of these days
One of these days we'll all die
Scream into my empty heart, tell me what you hear
Tell me if you hear any echos of fear
Fear doesn't exist when I can't scream, no choice
I can't scream without a voice
Vocal minority taken from the holds
Make being worthless your utmost priority

Liars and Deceivers
04:52
|
|||
I don't want to be what you make of me
If that image of malice is the only thing you see
Maybe I'm scared, I don't know what to do
At least I'm not a fucking coward like you
Spit in my face and curse my name
Put everything on me to take the blame
Shame on me, shame shame
At the centre of our hearts we're the very fucking same
If you've any sense then stay the fuck down
I pulled myself up so you could all drown
I'm not the one who relies on deceit
To avoid the inevitable painful defeat
Dame de la misère appelle mon nom
Dans une allée de lumière où nous sommes tous sombres
Les yeux de la bête sont rouges
Caché sous une couche de mensonge
Liars and deceivers
Do you think you're mad, you're the only one who understands
Tell me I'm perfect
Tell me nothing's wrong
Lie to me, liars
You fucking deceivers
I don't want to be what you make of me
If that image of malice is the only thing you see
Maybe I'm scared, I don't know what to do
At least I'm not a fucking coward like you
Spit in my face and curse my name
Put everything on me to take the blame
Shame on me, shame shame
At the centre of our hearts we're the very fucking same
Do you think you're smart
Do you think you're mad
This is a war
I hear what you say
Under your breath
I know what you think
You fear death
Well that's the only thing that ever kept you down
Gave me enough time to submerge my head and drown
Rising to the top of the red sea
An empty world, nobody but me
Tell me I'm perfect
Tell me nothing's wrong
Pull the trigger
The nightmare stops
I hear what you say
Under your breath
I know what you think
You fear death

Trust My Words
05:24
|
|||
Follow me, disciples
I have a plan for you
Let's take the land from the rightful
You all know what to do
Trust my words and I shall trust in you
What do you take us for, a bunch of fucking fools
We didn't realise until we were screwed
You used us all like a bunch of fucking tools
It is hopeless
Trying to be selfless
This is the attitude of utter defeat
In the evident of lies and deceit
You want to change the world
Stop trying (start crying)
It is hopeless
Trying to be selfless
Trust my words and I shall trust in you
What do you take us for, a bunch of fucking fools
We didn't realise until we were screwed
You used us all like a bunch of fucking tools
Trust my words
This is the last time you'll ever see my face
Before we all collapse into oblivion
Forced to face the cruel reality
Of a godless world
Trust my words
God in heaven, I've trusted in my faith
Why do you continue to leave me no escape
Crawling out of the pit every day
To rest I will go, to rest I will lay
And this is a message to you
I try so fucking hard until I'm black and I'm blue
I can't ever impress you
But I continue to disappoint myself
I fall asleep in a puddle of myself
Waking to find the earth is gone
Follow me into the darkness
Where there's nobody to hearken
I can't help my gloomy ways
I'm living in my last days
This is the attitude of utter defeat
In the evident of lies and deceit
You want to change the world
Stop trying (start crying)
You're gonna be dead

Black Tongue
04:48
|
|||
Everything you say means nought to me
I'm blinded by evil, I can't see
You're wicked and you're cruel, you're lowly
In the end you will all die slowly
Give it another shot
Maybe this time you won't fuck it up
Good for nothing, your pain is in vain
But I'm not the one who's ultimately insane
Choke on your tongue, choke on it
I've lived long enough to see my worth go to waste
Who am I but another blank face
I'm nothing special in this god forsaken place
All I am to you is just another disgrace
It's like we're speaking in tongues to each other
Maybe if we cut our tongues we'd understand one another
You're wicked and you're cruel, you're lowly
In the end you will all die slowly
Choke on your tongue, choke on it
You are not conscious
Don't tell me you don't understand
Playing dumb like the that snake you are
You are the cynic who knows fuck all
Don't question me like you have the gall
A catch twenty-two when you're a skeptic
Then lie to my face and have me accept it
Give it another shot
Maybe this time you won't fuck it up
Good for nothing, your pain is in vain
But I'm not the one who's ultimately insane
Choke on your tongue, choke on it
I've lived long enough to see my worth go to waste
Who am I but another blank face
I'm nothing special in this god forsaken place
All I am to you is just another disgrace
Choke on your tongue, choke on it
