feast upon the blooming veins
and separate the skin
to deny the flesh it's many shades is a prison
drink adventure spit
and bathe in desire blood
consume sky and ignite the flood

The Awaited
02:16
|
|
||
|
from behind a rose
in a perfect pitch of shade
healing hands to thorn the vein
and drain the pain
for whom i'd search the world
i'd block the sun just to see it bloom
blind the pure and bless the doomed
wage a war to learn the name
to see this soul and proclaim
for you i'd burn the world
i'd burn the world
the awaited one
the awaited has arrived

how did the dead hear?
was it whispered to their graves?
or buried with letters
with confessions on each page?
who dared to release them?
the forgotten ones of rot
for us all the come crawling
through the thickest plot
thieves of youth and love
who could remember
which kiss sparked the war?
and how could we be sure
who broke the promises we swore?
how did we get here?
and i wonder
how did you know this face?
the name that you hated has long since left this place
thieves of youth and love
we live to walk above
tortured flesh
poisoned blood
the discarded mess of youth and love
why have you come here?
i have since sought the truth
fake is this future
the penance is not mine for the choosing?
will you be severing my hands
and pulling out my tounge
to be nailed the coffin that you use?
thieves of youth and love
we live to walk above
tortured flesh
poisoned blood
the discarded mess of youth and love

Chambers of Gold

the flickering
oh dear
that glow below the door in here
the creeping dawn has come
again
a shadow runs
a light is still
the world unlocks with the key of will
don't face the wall again
chambers of gold
no salting the soul
chambers of gold
don't the fear the gold flames
death comes all the same
the blistering of eyes unseen
the glorious glow
obscene
behold the endless pain
chambers of gold
no salting the soul
don't face wall again
chambers of gold

The Likes of We
01:53
|
|
||
|
we slave while the city sleeps
a dead language we speak
fearless dreamers
reckless ambition
unconditional condition
no one can see how we see
never would they cross the likes of we
cured and cursed as water breathers
impenetrable by deceivers
sunk by tooth
held with nail
the earthquake creators prevail
no one can see how we see
never would they cross the likes of we

Bless Your Soul
01:21
|
|
||
|
don't speak ill of the living even if they aren't dead yet
mark with blood
wish them well
their futures wet
bless your soul
may someone keep you
something save you
shine on your path
a curse upon yourself
you are
your own wrath
bless your soul

A Wave of Ghosts
04:11

a blade through sky as i ride on the wave of ghosts
the crackling sound
it opens now
as we take the oath
lay siege to worlds or set free an imprisoned force
the flood comes rushing in and shows us no remorse
lights go blinding
time unwinding
if its worth finding it sisters death
don't wait for me again
don't pray for me again
the thirsty hordes are pushing forth the wave of ghosts
the pale
the gold
the hungry
bold
that want the most
you see it now?
the sound the shape
we cannot go
i must remain.
i will understand this place of the wicked
don't wait for me again
don't pray for me again

No One but You
04:33

a spirit sucking tube of deceit wound up on me
the truth will suffer first and for now so will we
you wont stop
its true
theres certain death about you
when the world has faded and these lies swim in the night
theres nothing i wouldn't do
to change us
and save you
but when i met your eyes
i saw me
in you
dying
the dead shall rise
an eternal tomb in there
escape is its own demise
wicked love
serrated cuts
to bleed the new truth
the dead shall rise for no one but you

When Curses Comes True
02:46
|
|
||
|
like a worm from the ground tunneling out of the storm in your mind
whispers of guilt and loss shiver the spine
in that streak
where truth is bleak
you'll know its time
as you feared
they've come here to tax the crimes
when curses come true
i'll be there too
the frozen sleep of screaming dreams strike your soul
the disappeared come oh so near to reaching out
from those places
forgotten places
no one sees
no one believes
these nothing names have come to claim you for the flames
when curses come true
ill be there too
with you
