Lost Souls 03:07
I can't escape this place I loath My body quivers and I'm feeling numb I shield my heart now from the burning cold and walk this empty earth alone the death of dreams and passion here at the edge of everything a gaping chasm that haunts my life now echoes my screaming (chorus) Through the fear and madness the endless anger and frustration our eyes gaze skyward to curse our gods but this burden is all our own there'll be no one who can save us no hell or heaven, no truth, no lies here in this deafening silence that echoes until the end of time (chorus) The bitter tears and sadness flow like a river to drown us all gasping for air we keep reaching out to anything that might slow our fall but in the end we're all nameless our rotting bodies bereft of life so shed a tear to this memory as eyes close one last time (chorus) Lost in our grief hearts will drown in deceit as darkness eclipses our soul

This place seems so familiar it's like I've been a thousand times before holding my head in my hands, consumed by nightmares, so far beyond control as the sand pours from the hour glass hoping that these thoughts will pass that tear me from the inside out, so hollow, weak, and numb The pain behind my weary eyes I must conceal but I'm stretched so thin, worn down so low and I've walked down these streets so many times I know where they lead straight to the blackness within my heart, within my soul Like fingers tearing at my veins to drag me down beneath the surface just one step away stripping my flesh and bone away an endless fall, through vacant silence nothing else remains This sisyphean cycle has ground all my convictions into dust leaving a fetid scent of disarray beneath a lifeless husk I feel so powerless to stop it now, I'm losing grip, there's no way out with nothing left to save me now, I'm falling down, I'm falling down! I shut the door eclipse the glare of morning light that blinds my eyes as I fall to the floor ignore the hunger crawling underneath my skin I'll take it all away and everything else fades I'll bear this burden on my own no one can see, no one can know I fought so hard but what's left to show I've lost everything, I've lost everyone I can't let you see me this way I've fallen down beneath the surface just one step away you wouldn't recognize my face all hollowed out, so weak and worthless and nothing else remains

Into my darkest depths I gaze long and deep Darkness closes in the fear begins to spread inside of every limb Haunting every step shadows of the past tears my life to shreds I can't see it as it cuts my life from every angle and vitiates my heart I don't feel it, is this love? I wouldn't know it's texture or it's taste on my tongue This black abyss reflects my darkest depths the beast I see stares back at me So cold and bitter to the touch the mirror casts a stranger with hatred in it's eyes who am I and what have I done? tears fall down like angels into the void This black abyss reflects my darkest depths the beast I see stares back at me No! Darkness closes in the fear begins to spread inside of every limb Haunting every step shadows of the past tears my life to shreds How can I live when I've seen what I've done I'm so fucking scared about this thing I've become As it twists all my memories to madness and cuts me down to the bone I've never felt this lost, never so cast adrift everything that I was has vanished in the abyss so heed my words if you feel as I do if you stare too long it will consume you...too...

We Die Alone 03:38
My mind is clear and I can almost see the end of my life as it comes crashing down on me the world collapses in twisted screams of my pain of the loss of everything once held dear to me rendered meaningless and cheap Shattered Dreams and Broken Bones When We Die, We Die Alone At the end of time remember one thing that your life will end and the priest attends at your funeral when the devil calls you to his right hand Shattered Dreams and Broken Bones When We Die, We Die Alone

This abomination, this disease of man to crave the acrid fruit of our own bitter end We move towards destruction without a second glance at the lives devoured in the wake of our selfish advance bodies mount upon the pyre to fuel the greed of man's desire as maggots fester in their urn none shall return Seep in contamination breathe the poisoned air as we shape the world to reflect our own inner despair Return to desolation, all that remains An unspoken eulogy to a time far less depraved flowers bloom, wither, then die nothing survives the test of time empires rise and then they burn and we never learn As we mourn our yesterdays

Killing Game 02:51
Left unseen the things beneath the surface suffer on and cannot ease the pain of a bleeding heart I feel so lost among the wreckage I have sown but I strive to find the way Because life is more than a game we play the scars we wreak on it never fade when we spill our blood, and we see the things we've become our hearts never heal from the damage done ...and we bleed 'til everything we love is lost This contempt defies reason inhumanity is everywhere they say times are changing well so am I Because life is more than a killing game the scars that streak our flesh are the same as the spilling blood swirling around our feet that consumes us until we can't feel anything at all ...and we bleed 'til everything we love is lost

All my tears veil the morning light it's been too long since I have seen it through clear eyes restless days turn to sleepless nights your empty words will always echo through my mind of all the moments that we've spent ingesting lies and cheating death broken promises, everything, everything blurs Got a love like suicide what a love poison words kill me inside and burn like fire thoughts dissolve into the fading light casting shadows on the emptiness inside pieces fall right before my eyes broken shards of shattered memories of life of all the times we used to share my severed life still bleeds from tears of what you took from me everything, everything burns Got a love like suicide what a love poison words kill me inside and burn like fire

Autumn Winds 04:26
Icy stares, disdainful eyes adorn these minions of christ as they blindly march with hateful hearts to kill this world they despise Autumn winds casts it's spell on me Clouds will blacken the sky if I must burn for what I believe today would be a good day to die Among the screams and endless cries I swear an oath to the skies that I will not bend to the oppressor's hands and spit my blood in their eyes Autumn winds casts it's spell on me Clouds will blacken the sky if I must burn for what I believe today would be a good day to die Mit jeder unze meiner starke, mit jedem Tropfen des Bluts mit jedem Atem Kampfe ich...und Opfer now all is still only the grass sways and yet the blood drips from every blade turning these meadows into graves casting our gods into their flames Autumn winds casts it's spell on me Clouds will blacken the sky if I must burn for what I believe today would be a good day to die

Amanda 03:38
Oh when I am consumed By the darkened surrounding gloom Where all light ceases to shine You give me purity In a world that poisons me and you drive the hatred from my eyes Amanda you're dear to me Like no one else could be Your smile soothes my weary soul and when life crushes me leaving me lost and weak you breathe the life into my heart And through these troubled times You've kept my spirits high When all hope was seeming to die In a world so full of pain you heal my wounds with a soothing rain to wash away all I despise Amanda you're dear to me Even the bland can see the light you shine into the world You're always here for me When no one else could be Your smile soothes my weary soul When I see a dismal future where nothing ever seems right I turn to you and your humor to life this curse from my life Amanda you're dear to me Like no one else could be Your smile soothes my weary soul You're always here for me When no one else could be you breathe the life into my heart
