"The Sorrows of the Guilty" Why does the rain flow my way? Embraced our solitude, I'm easy prey. And as I pray for them to go, Our sadness burns my soul. Under the moon I see no friends. Only the glistening feet of nightmare's end. Though this is not the place I die, I'm scared enough to cry. "Oh, my love," she cries, "You and I must suffer before He opens His skies. Please believe my speech, For the efforts of the damned are to relieve." Life is a delicate road. Pass it while you can if taking too long. Guilt is the devil, Takes its toll, And I've never been a sucker for saving my soul. (See no end) I've lost hope for this life; (Just give in) Lost all control of my sight. (Taking life again) Come soon I'll sleep through the night "But, oh, my love," I try, "Evidently we will see these demons 'til we die. But please release my sleeve, For the efforts of your 'God' are to deceive." "But, oh, my love," I lie, "Let's pretend that peace of mind comes in the afterlife. But, please come lay with me, For the sorrows of our guilt will be set free."

The Damned 07:05
"The Damned" Indecision is the breeder of death. I should've died beside the damned soul I wed. But in betrayal, as our guilt was undone, She chose to lie to let me go to hell on my own. Ever wonder what it might be like to die? Wait for your time! Curse my bones to flames. You drag me here by name. But I never … I never Wanted to die In shame, Lord and feel the same pain. Is it just to pay a sin back with sin? I set my life to die before I damned it again. But in betrayal her true nature unfolds. I chose to kill her to keep her from living alone. Left to suffer by the tragedy of your crime. There's no place to hide. Ever wonder what it means to be alive? Wait for your time! Filth in acting reign. I break free from these chains. But I never … I never wanted to die In shame, Afraid Of all the demons buried with my Grave. Enslaved Only to feel the same pain. Burn the err of my faith in my open eyes; Shown to regret my former word. Like in a cage of moral fiber, I'm accursed to endure all this pain, So vial, I would kill for the fountain world. Knock in the door and take me higher. Why does death want to keep me in this place, When my life drove me over the line? Here, somehow, I'm Cain. Before we shared the blame.

"A Path Less Traveled" Is it safe on the ring, In the cusp of an unmade king, And the violence that it brings? But, his pride ruins everything. Every time in the light it seems His victim's heart arises from the sink. Ooh, the moon shines the way. Settle down and trust our time will come again. One day, my brothers, we'll storm the gates. I've seen the signs attesting fate Straining to dawn my throne. Are you coming my brothers? I cannot wait. The path that hides implies estate, And all the world wants to take what I'm owed. Turn this flow. Burn your way back home. Is it safe in the fold? Come alive on the winding road 'Tween the violence and the gold. In stride everything is slowed. A bit tired of butchering their legions in tow, But I'll have a tale to tell when I'm old. This time I'll sever his dull mind Straight from his wicked dream. The weary noise of his army's voice Like a song to set me agleam. Ooh, and the moon still shines the way. Turn it to the unseen rune and Seek the setting sun another day. One day our sisters will sing again, The splendid verse of the plight it’s been Straining to dawn my throne. In the day when my city will see my kin, And we can't confide outside our friends 'Cause all the world wants to take what I'm owed. Turn this flow Home. Ooh, I tried. His lust for gold is too much to fight. This life will cost you more than I. Ooh, I decry Against the fear against the light. Gold, you lied. Your warmth is wry With its toll. Take my soul, But in time, I'll take the fight. Ooh, stay behind As the shapes of your friends disappear into the fight. Choose your wealth or choose the light, Thorin. Wake the blood and hold us through this night. (Through this night) This day is the day, my brothers and friends, To embrace this life for the ride it's been Awaiting to come back home. This time, when the walls came closing in, And the mountainside replied covered in grins 'Cause all the world fought to rescue my throne. At last I've made it back, but I cannot stay. The path leads straight through home and on.

"Lies to buy Trust to buy Truth" Two loves inside this beatin' heart of mine. Left to let you wonder and Right beneath the broken sky. Pay no mind up to the satellite, Yeah. This little kiss. Open up your heart beneath me, girl, and let me fall in. Too many lies have been confided to my brain. Yeah, does it make you wonder to seep between the lines in Spain. By design here we hide in the plain, yeah. This little kiss. Open up your heart beneath me, girl, and let me fall into your love and lies and I turn from your side. Trust to be broken is a token to a spy. Die deceiver with vision tied off. Lost my passion for living in espionage. Plague your liver, Take it to the river. Let it shake the shiver of conscious in your mind. You fail to fit with the changes I deliver. The broken order givers, Betrayals, and the blind. To entertain the truth that's in your eyes, Been slain upon the pavement In vain under the crimson sky. Hope you primed a mouth of cyanide, yeah. This little kiss. Open up your heart beneath me, girl, and let me fall into your love and lies and I'm back on your side. Trust is a token to be broken by the light.

Block 10 06:30
"Block 10" Take a look at yourself. Your body's mine and this is what I mean, And I treat you well. You work hard and you’ll get all that you need to be my queen. Now, sleep serene, and Fall into a dream. Open up your seam, girl. Someday you'll see I'm not all that mean. Fear the angel. Let his vision for you take you into the deep. Self-destruction breeds in violent dreams of death. Burn to snuff out his breath. Part of you isn't well. The parting light inside you seeps to still. But look at your life. You know it's better when I'm here To protect you from your pride, And keep you aligned. So, sleep serene, girl. Fall into a dream. Open up your seam and Someday you'll see I'm not all that mean. Fear the angel. Let his vision for you take you into the deep. Self-destruction breeds in violent dreams of death. Burn to snuff out his breath. You were never deceived, or Never the queen, but it's okay. Never bothered to see, Always led to believe there's another way. Now, sleep serene, and Fall into a dream. Open up your seam, girl. Someday you'll see The worst is yet to come. Run before it's too late. But, now I see the Dying light inside obey.

Escape 07:06
"Escape" Am I sitting down here dying? Is there any hope left in trying? Cracks on the walls like hammers in my skull Keep the blood from turning to tasteless demise. Sick man! I've seen your kind, Drawn to the drawings of evil in your mind. Down in the darkness The Devil shapes the harness. Please don't break the part of me they will never find. Take me home. Out in the dark Time seems to break apart, and There's no escape at all. And evermore my buoyancy in darkness Had to concede the universe is soulless. Since the meantime has taken up my prime, It's best just to settle my mind on my demise. Fuck you! You took my life. I want to be the one to filet your open eyes. You can't contain me, You should have fucking killed me. This woe will mend itself against the gargle of your cries. Whoa, This is not what my freedom means to me. To chance the cold expanse is hopeless indeed. Out this far Time seems to break apart, and There's no escape at all. Pain is the past. it's moving too fast. At last it's the sore slave's time to take it back. Your leverage is mine, you just wait for my attack. Grief is waiting just to hijack my mind's high Cast from thinking different ways to justify The act of my revenge of killing you all.

"Epizootic Angst" Rise o'er us, dark lord. Praise for ending our suffering. Feast lord for us and our poor, Reaching towards the glory your songs have ensured. Dark spore washed ashore. Shame for praising our slaughterer. Beast borne of sick and evil whore, Still reaching for our throats when reach for our swords. “Send a fetter to the leader,” they cried, And set their gratitude aside. I concede that ignorance has eaten more of their heads than mine. (“Send a fetter to the leader,” they cried,) Take to your streets, (And set their gratitude aside.) Better marry your fight. (I concede that ignorance has eaten more of their heads than mine.) You'll be the fools if we find out you're right. As they're running away from me Afraid of what I might've became. (Masquerade) I see they're building a place for me To burn to take all the blame. Heresy. Bones are broken in ecstasy. Ash clots blood flows drawn to me. Breathe in essence of evil; Bring your marching to me. White sword soaked in lore. Gay for your giving us reason to Wheeze forth the last of our corps, Bleeding war when our poisonous blight is reborn. As they're running away from me Afraid of what I might've became. (Masquerade) I see they're building a place for me To burn to take all the blame. Heresy. Bones are broken in ecstasy. Ash clots blood flows drawn to me. Breathe in essence of evil; Bring your marching to me.

"The Wrong Here" Feeling tired; The dark delayed the foul. "Oh, won't you come into town? The wait is over now." But they don't know In truth I don't belong. "Oh, won't you divvy the sun? My fear is that the rain means it's gone." My shame is aversion undone to know This life was more than meaningful once, and Those who live in the sun don't need to cry When the last of you gets carried away. "Oh, won't you open your heart? All of us here know that it's hard." So long ago, In time we all dispel. "Oh, won't your sympathy wail? You know we'd lose the light without the rails." My shame is aversion undone to know This life was more than meaningful once, and Those who live in the sun don't need to shine When the last of you gets carried away. You'll be the sign Who could never befall. I want to Make it up when it's time, Though I'll never resign to see your soul. "Oh, won't you empty your might? Part of my fear is if you're right." And I won't get stuck in a past, Or let the fear in my heart keep stirring Impeding all my plans for life. My shame is aversion undone to know This life was more than meaningful once, and Those who live in the sun don't see the light When the last of you gets carried away. You'll be the sign Who could never befall. I want to Make it up when it's time, Though I'll never resign to see your soul. Put all of your love to the back of my heart For keeping the past and the present apart. And wave goodbye to move on. I wave goodbye to move on.

"In the Diction of War" Destroyed. What a day for the dead to come to life, And the people Seethe sealing their war's pleat in a night. What a way for defeat to breach the dyke, Seemingly a light Waiting for dark to denounce its might. Sick screams sing wicked in the silence. The dawn creeps with respect for those who died. I don't need my gentle nation's pride Since I've only got one reason left to fight. I killed the former queen of rage (We killed the former queen of rage) To wade their lovers through their blood and To their darkest days. (Through blood and to their darkest days) Alive to see the dirt at our feet is only good for graves. (Alive the dirt affords your graves) Lord I'm calling for help; this darkness. Let me go forth with no blame; Let me go. Rain down with your praise. God, it's a great life shooting 'em down. Trust in my Aim. stop pulling the lines and give me some space, And I'll twist my love to fit the rage I need to concentrate. What made you say today's the day? You'd cross that line to defend your vanity? You never earned your splendor anyways, So you flinch to sanity, the uncommon gene. Lost your soul but the skin still recedes. We're a gate in this war. (Just a light in the swarm) Some kindling to feed a spark. (Meant to splinter the dark) Now I see the world complete in form to greet the pure of heart. (Feed the pyre that warms my heart) What a day To trample on your shit soiree, With no lenity. You can't surrender in the games we play. Go. Runaway from your feet. Scared of hiding at home; Scared of me. No more pleas. Now you stand on your own; Left to die in the spree. This morbid show, This crimson loam. Now rapine.

"Dead Man's Sails" Come, listen ye, sew the seed of my legend. Fill every tavern with the fear of your tale Of men who sailed the sea sick with greed and obsession, And traught along their evil with a dead man's sails. Time is fleeting. Your life is for me. I love watching you burn! No, it's not the end of the dream. I've only just begun. You're raped! ‘Cause no god or man will grieve for the death of you thieves. Little mystery, 'Cause every mortal at heart is weak and afraid. Run, cowardly heart of weakened aberration. Strand your desperate hopes in every fruitless gale. And sheathe your rotted teethe as you weep an invocation, Awaiting your salvation by the dead man's sails Eyes are bleeding. Excite me. I live for watching you burn! No, it's not the end of the dream. I see you've only just begun. I am your fall. Before you die there's something you should know. Your memories are lies, But your naive to reflect them. You're all sleaze inside. You care to reave and direct your Sins seeking ease in life. A pair of keys for the treasure. And the beast is sly To pull the breeze so you'll never leave. You can't deny Bloodshed brings me to life. The starlit tomb with greedy eyes Who lay a course that was engraved in your lies. And god looked down and showed you to me. The spot where I swallow you into the sea, yeah. Burn! No, it's not the end of the dream You see, I've only just begun. I am your fall. Before I die I'll wait for you And decimate your soul.
