“anthology”

So much attention given
I want it. I need it
Make it just another taste
I want it. I need it
This life I’ve chosen
I own it, I hate it
This change is coming and
I want it, I need it

It’s just another memory
Another thing for me to leave
I’ll turn my back and run
Start again, on the setting sun—–

I want it, I need it
Wipe the sweat from my brow
I feel it, I taste it
Cold inside, I will never
Forget it, I need it
Stuck in my mind, you will be
Forever, I hate it

It’s just another memory
Another thing for me to leave
I’ll turn my back and run
Start again, on the setting sun—–

So much attention given
I want it. I need it
Make it just another taste
I want it. I need it
This life I’ve chosen
I own it, I hate it
The devil’s just a friend
I feel it, He knows it

It’s just another memory
Another thing for me to leave
I’ll turn my back and run
Start again, on the setting sun

“now it’s about fighting and burning”

WE FIGHT
against all enemies
WE BURN
for what we believe
WE LIVE
to face another day
WE DIE
was it all just a waste

and now we’re running from what we feel within
try to keep this small amount of sanity
avoid the hate, that beats us down
it’s just another way the weak feel strong

WE FIGHT
against all enemies
WE BURN
for what we believe
WE LIVE
to face another day
WE DIE
was it all just a waste

this time we’ll let it all out, this pain
the world we live in doesn’t give a damn
deny these things, we’re told are truth
it’s time to burn it all away and live again

WE FIGHT
against all enemies
WE BURN
for what we believe
WE LIVE
to face another day
WE DIE
was it all just a waste

WE FIGHT
WE BURN
WE LIVE
WE DIE

“the tiger jumped over the elephant”

I just want to hold it all in till I find you and we can grind it all away again

Look into my eyes and you’ll see in me
You’ll bleed
Look into this hate and believe in me

Grab me tightly hold for dear life question my clarity as I take us off this cliff and fly

Look into my eyes and you’ll see in me
You’ll bleed
Look into this heart and deceive in me

This is not a dream I hope for, this is not a dream I live for, I want to show you, just how I should die

Look into my eyes and you’ll see in me
You’ll bleed
Look into this hate and believe in me

This is what I’ve become
This is what they’ve made me

Now pay

This is what I’ve become
This is what they’ve made me

Join me in my self destruction, join me in this cold embrace, join me, with this, final breath I take, c’mon, now, breathe
Look into my eyes and you’ll see in me
You’ll bleed
Look into this heart and deceive in me

“yelldance killsquad”

You look at me like I’m just a friend
The things I do for you in vain
The more I bleed the more you look away
It’s all too late when you feel the end coming

I’m not the same
it’s all just a part of your plan
and I’m not the same
it’s time to end this charade

I want to show you
what you do to me
I want to be the one
that’s in your dreams

Your heart is cold just like your stare
Eyes as blank as your face
The more I bleed the more you take from me
How did I let you get so close

I’m not the same
it’s all just a part of your plan
and I’m not the same
it’s time to end this charade

I want to show you
what you do to me
I want to be the one
that’s in your screams

“vipers and charlatans”

A travesty, involving me, and I’m tired of this losing game
You’ll never see, the life you lead, is just another knife in me
Blame society, and blame your needs, and blame everything you know
I’m running hard, and leaving town, I can’t be far enough from you

You’ve never changed before, so why should you change now,
This time will be no different, you’re so predictable

No listening, or giving heed, to the writing that is on the wall
And possibly, some therapy, is in order for you
So tell your friends, and tell your priest, you won’t find absolution here
Take my word, and listen hard, you’ll never hear me speak again

You’ve never changed before, so why should you change now,
This time will be no different, so god damn predictable

It’s taken too long to see you, for what you’ve always been
A never ending parasite, that’s been alive too long
It’s not my place to kill you, but I’m done being the host
You can take your lust for blood and, give it to someone else

You’ve never changed before, so why should you change now,
This time will be no different, you’re so predictable
You’ve never changed before, so why should you change now,
This time will be no different, so god damn predictable

“the overwhelming desire for more”

First you offered justice
Then you offered peace
Forgiveness for the wicked
And death for the weak

Damn the system that made this
Powered by the filth and the greed
Damn all the politicians
And damn the poison you read

And it’s time to make a stand
For something we believe

Rise up from our slumber
See the forest, for the trees
Take back what we’ve earned
And bring our leaders, to their knees

Don’t you know the difference
Between right and dumb
Don’t you know the sentence
For doing so much wrong

Damn the system that made this
Powered by the filth and the greed
Damn all the politicians
And damn the poison you read

And it’s time to make a stand
For something we believe

Rise up from our slumber
See the forest, for the trees
Take back what we’ve earned
And bring our leaders, to their knees

I will destroy it all
Just to build it up again
I won’t be afraid
Of a little government

Who do you represent?
Because I know it isn’t me
How long will you sit there,
watching us go down in flames?

Damn the system that made this
Powered by the filth and the greed
Damn all the politicians
And damn the poison you read

“radiate”

Glorify, What it means to kill a man
Murder, All it means to be alive

No mercy, Show no fear, Live in the now, Tomorrow we all die

Yell out the words
Turn them away
Show us the gun
So we all know you’re serious

Turn on the lights
Make them all pay
Cause what you believe
Gives you the right to murder me

Glorify, What it means to kill a man
Murder, All it means to be alive
Edify, All the non-believers
Stupify, The sovereign nations

No mercy, Show no fear, Live in the now, Tomorrow we all die

Yell out the words
Turn them away
Show us the gun
So we all know you’re serious

Turn on the lights
Make them all pay
Cause what you believe
Gives you the right to murder me

Glorify, What it means to kill a man
Murder, All it means to be alive
Edify, All the non-believers
and Stupify, The sovereign nations

No mercy, Show no fear, Live in the now, Tomorrow we all die

“last call”

For those who understand us,
and those who learn
For thos who stand beside us,
and those who burn

Our time is not a promise,
a sacrifice
Our blood a flowing river,
full of lies

I know my life won’t be wasted

Everyone is here,
pour one for the ancients
No life will remain,
drink one for the oceans

The verdict has been given
Take what’s earned
The power of prediction
A guilty charge

The cards are on the table
One to nothing
Don’t bother with forgiveness
No, not this time

I know my life won’t be wasted

Everyone is here,
pour one for the ancients
No life will remain,
drink one for the oceans

I know my life won’t be wasted
I know my life won’t be wasted
I know my life won’t be wasted
I know my life wasn’t a waste

Everyone is here,
pour one for the ancients
No life will remain,
drink one for the oceans

“29 day coma”

Lie!
All these excuses,
I was blinded,
All the signs were there,
I didn’t listen to a fucking one,

No one seems to care, but I had to believe
The words I thought were true
Questions are stranded in disease
I’m left here with these needs

I’m the one to hold it all in
And I’m the one who licks these wounds
I’m the one who brought these walls down
And I’m the one who pays in the end

This time, is the only, time I’ll fall for you, I will fall for you
This time, is the only, time I’ll fall for you, I will fall for you
This time, is the only
This time, is the only, time I’ll fall, I will fall
I will fall.

Remember
What you see
It will be
The last time

This time, is the only, time I’ll fall for you, I will fall for you
This time, is the only, time I’ll fall for you, I will fall for you
This time, is the only
This time, is the only, time I’ll fall, I will fall
I will fall.

“i hope you wake up during surgery”

Your voice echoes in my mind,
every word a new beginning
I will turn my cheek forever
this time I’ll remember

Take your own word
to your own grave
I won’t thrive there
but I won’t forget

Nothing is the answer that I heard
to all the questions you left me
and even when I listen for more
there is nothing still waiting

Take your own word
to your own grave
I won’t thrive there
but I won’t forget

Will you ever give me peace
the peace that you already know
Show me there’s something different
Tell me there’s something more

Tell me, the tales you wove, the mark, that you made
Bring me, the cross you bore, the tears, that you cried

Light, will burn, as time, will die
Light, will burn, as time, will die

Take your own word
to your own grave
I won’t thrive there
but I won’t, no I won’t, forget

“ithaca rising”

Take the money and run, if you know what’s good for you
Show them all, you’ve got what it takes,
Turn the page, and get on with your life
Give it all away, for who you want to be
This is not a fairy tale

Kill the automation

They try to turn you against you
Fear, is taking over
They’re just wasting your time
Life, is running out

Take the money and run, if you know what’s good for you
Show them all, you’ve got what it takes,
Turn the page, and get on with your life
Give it all away, for who you want to be
This is not a fairy tale

Kill the automation

They try to turn you against you
Fear, is taking over
They’re just wasting your time
Life, is running out

This is not a fairy tale
I’ve seen this before
This will not end well
Live like you’re already dead
you’re already dead

Take the money and run, if you know what’s good for you
Show them all, you had what it took,
Turn the page, and get on with your death
Give it all away, for who you used to be
Live like you’re already dead
Live like you’re already dead

“the irreversible loss of personhood”

We, Cease, To, Be

The darkness we all feared
Born from our desire
Eternities of failure
Destined to expire

We, Cease, To, Be

Kill the children now
Safe from themselves
Destroy all signs of hope
Believe in the end

Everything is breaking down, life just another regret,
Everyone you barely knew, lost in an instant

It’s only a matter of time, before the horsemen ride,
End it all now, forget the god who lied

Stare into my eyes; fear the end no more,
I will make this quick and I will make this painful

Tear the skin right off, the grip is so damn cold,
And you will never breathe, breathe the sulfur deep-

-Again, Cease, To, Be

Stand before the chosen
Bathe in the toxins
Surrendering failed existence
Taste the blood of freedom

Everything is breaking down, life just another regret,
Everyone you barely knew, lost in an instant

It’s only a matter of time, before the horsemen ride,
End it all now, forget the god who lied

Stare into my eyes; fear the end no more,
I will make this quick and I will make this painful

Tear the skin right off, the grip is so damn cold,
And you will never breathe, breathe the sulfur deep-

-Again, Cease, To, Be

“amber black”

I want it all, and I don’t
care who dies, for me to get it
I just want my slice,
And I’ll leave you for dead

I don’t know how you did it
Spread this disease
I am the darkness
Waiting to envelop you at the end of the road

You’ve got them all fooled, now don’t you
Yea, well I’m not buyin’ your bullshit beliefs
Take another look and pray to your god
Go ahead and judge me but it’s part of the show

Isn’t it time you admit it
One more lost cause
Just another martyr
I guarantee your flame will burn out soon

You’ve got them all fooled, now don’t you
Yea, well I’m not buyin’ your bullshit beliefs
Take another look and pray to your god
Go ahead and judge me but it’s part of the show

I want it all, and I don’t
care who’s dead, when I get it
I’m taking you down
On my way to the end

“of noble names”

We die, we fight, we ride
We die, we fight, we ride

straight through the halls of valhalla
straight through the halls of valhalla
join us under this burning standard
straight through the halls of valhalla

the princess calls out in retreat
her prince is burning in the streets
we will kill the knights in their sleep
conquer the souls of the weak!
conquer the weak!

just when you think
you have us beaten,
the graves you made,
they fall to pieces

We die, we fight, we ride
We die, we fight, we ride

straight through the halls of valhalla
straight through the halls of valhalla
join us under this burning standard
straight through the halls of valhalla

the blood of kings on my front teeth
jewels of the crown under my feet
broken promises are all I keep
taste the victory in your defeat!
in your defeat!

just when you think
you have us beaten,
the graves you made,
they fall to pieces

We die, we fight, we ride
We die, we fight, we ride
We die, we fight, we ride
We die, we fight, we ride

“evidence of distinction”

A father’s son, Never knows, the things you did, to keep him home
And exchanged words, and secrets kept, I never heard, the words you said to me

Digging underneath
Digging for the truth that I believe
Severed from the source
Will we ever know the name you made

You fought for this, for these headlines, did you ever think, what it meant to me
Was it worth the loss, that we suffered, a page torn out, of who I thought I was

Digging underneath
Digging for the truth that I believe
Severed from the source
Will we ever know the name you made

The wars you lived, that burdened you, are carried on, by your bloodlines
And even though, you may be gone, I’m still here, on this battlegound

Never forget, blood inside is not what makes you
Never forget, blood inside is not what makes you
Never forget, blood inside is not what makes you
Never forget, blood.
