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
2.
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

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

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
7.
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

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
