Fearless sky
With God, in chaos, with sorrow to tame us
Reach for the symbol of your world
The shroud, of pathos, each symptom inflames us
Preaching the symbol of the scourge
To a fearless sky
Gold until death, theory lies in our distress
To a fearless sky
Gold until death, bleary eyes from our regrets
To a fearless sky
We’re fraught with danger, defiance our saviour
Redeeming principles on mass
This shrine impales us, each traitor regales us
Preaching a sentimental dirge
To a fearless sky
Gold until death, endearing die from all regrets
To a fearless sky
Gold until death, theory lies in our distress
To the fearless sky
With God, in chaos, will sorrow long to tame us?
Reach for the symbol of your world
We hail true belief as life’s unveiled
To receive repentance, as the choir laments us
We’ll slay non-believers night and day
To receive the sentence with a fire of vengeance
(Crawling hypocrisy will fade away)
We rise again
(The dawning of honesty will fade away)
We ride against the frail
(Crawling hypocrisy will fade away)
We rise again
(The dawning of honesty will fade away)
We ride against the frail
Life’s contempt, a life of trial to unrest, vilified
I resent, morbid times so oppressed, soul divine
Lies torment, as I try to confess to a fearless sky
With God, in chaos, with sorrow to tame us
Reach for the symbol of your world
The shroud, of pathos, each symptom inflames us
Preaching the symbol of the scourge
To a fearless sky
Gold until death, theory lies in our distress
To a fearless sky
Gods of ancient
As Gods creations fail through honesty
One last salvation returns again decayed
Scorn through desperation
Searing devastation
The strong collapsing in my wake
Heed the Gods of ancient begin their reign
The Gods of ancient begin their reign
Evolved damnation, pains insanity
Our lost salvation we spurn, condemn, we slay
Scorn through deprivation
Free the condemnation
The strong collapsing in my wake
Heed the Gods of ancient begin their reign
The Gods of ancient begin their reign
Crawling through fire
Fear the others, fear the others that rise
Fear among us, until the end you’re despised
Learning the order to kill, heeding the stars constellations
Feeding on blood that is spilled
Fearing the stars as we’re ordered to rise
Fear the others, fear the others that rise
Fear among us, until the end you’re despised
The strong, collapsing in my wake
Heed the Gods of ancient begin their reign
The strong, collapsing in my wake
Heed the Gods of ancient begin their reign
From the gallows
Born in duress
Timeless the snare
Reading the speeches of ancient
Blood on their hands
Speaking the words of long dead
Armistice is made
Sing from the gallows in shame
Honour is stained
Born into life
Glory in death
Upon the gallows you swing
Timeless the end
Born into life
Glory in death
Upon the gallows you swing
A timeless lament
They fear us, the fallen fear our pride
Come fear us, the dead are destined to remind
The longest Winter
The long lost winter, acceptance woes
A lasting slumber a sickness flows
The last of summer the longing rivers froze
A grasping hunger, as darkness grows
Feeling so alive in this hopeless dream
Feeling so alive in this hopeless dream
We’re the ones who pay, with honour
Your pain rejected, your holy symbols inane
Your honour remains infected again
The frost of winter, acceptance shows
A grasping hunger, as fever grows
At last the summer, the longing rivers flow
A lasting thunder as darkness grows
Feeling so alive in this hopeless dream
Feeling so alive in this hopeless dream
We’re the ones who pay, with honour
A malediction, your holy symbols inane
With honour remain rejected again
Medusa
Agony, inside desire that yearns no longer
Memories, burning the fire that made you stronger
The life that blinded me divided me forever bleeds
Divisive blinded deed the spineless we can never reach
Heresy, into a wilderness they wander
Tragedy, a perished heart that aches you conquered
The life that I must lead the heartless one that never sleeps
Endeavour to receive the strong, the brave, the empathy
Pretenders to the throne
Their willing turns to stone
This life – the last, the principle has lapsed
This life – the last, a yearning to relapse
This life – the last, the principle has passed
This life – the last, a yearning to relapse
Pretenders to the throne
Their willing turns to stone
This life – the last, the principle has lapsed
This life – the last, a yearning to relapse
This life – the last, the principle has passed
This life – the last, a yearning to relapse
No passage for the dead
Fear above, we fear below
Severe the jaws, I raise myself from my darkest woes
Ordeals of love, reveal the lows
Severe the cause, I turn myself from the prophets world
Break the chain, rise inane, fall to me
Rise again, fall to me
To read these words of a zealous god
Bleeding away streams of consciousness
Resist the will of all men of cloth
Freedom suppressed from the saddest depths
Chasing scorn away
Dominions of our guardian’s dreams
Foreseeing all this flesh and blood
We try, no passage for the dead, we die
Break the chain, rise inane, fall to me
Rise again, fall to me
Blood and chaos
’til the night’s still cold unrest
’til the feast of blood and chaos
To the grave, as this plague won’t wash away
If there’s a price we had to pay
There’s no controlling, there’s no one else left to blame
If there is a vice with no constraints
Mankind corroding, there’s no one else left to hate
My inner God, in utter chaos
A severed fraud, stripped away
My inner God, forgotten pathos
Cindery cross, is ripped away distained
’til the nights still cold unrest
’til the feast of blood and chaos
To the grave, as this plague won’t wash away
If there’s a price we had to pay
There’s no consoling, the threat is just endless shame
If there is vice with no constraints
Mankind corroding, there’s no one else left to hate
My inner God, in utter chaos
My inner God, stripped away
My inner God, in utter chaos
Cindery cross, ripped away distained
’til the nights still cold unrest
’til the feast of blood and chaos
To the grave, as this plague won’t wash away
If there’s a price we had to pay
There’s no controlling, there’s nothing else left to say
If there is vice with no constraints
Mankind corroding, there’s no one else left to hate
Mankind corroding, there’s no one else left to hate
Until the grave
A million die
Crowded tombs where once we laid
The deadest eyes
Still engaged, as one afraid
The thrall obey
Return the ashes the widow enraged
The walls enslaved
Return the ending, a veil of dismay
The night follows day
Save your prayers, divided ’til the grave
(Divided ’til the grave)
The dreaded sky
Abandoned rooms where one remains
A shredded cry
Blood ingrained where once, we prayed
The walls enslaved
Return the ashes the widow enraged
The thrall obey
Return the ending, a veil of decay
The night follows day
Save your prayers, divided ’til the grave
(Divided ’til the grave)
Control, obey
Return the ashes the widow enraged
The walls enslaved
Return the ending, a veil of dismay
The night follows day
Save your prayers, divided ’til the grave
(Divided ’til the grave)
Divided ’til the grave
Shrines
Fearless ones, wash away the years
Fearless ones, wash away the pain, the tears
Can’t unload the lows
In the shadow of a dying light
Can’t unload the lows
In the fear of a dying light
Dread through centuries shrines
A cold descent of our minds
In abject misery, aligning stars fall
Dread through the centuries shrines
A coldness spreading through time
In abject misery, enduring scars form
Healing sun shelter from release
Grieving, none, crushing waves of long deceit
Can’t unload the lows
In the shadow of a dying light
Can’t unload the lows
In the fear of a dying light
Dread through centuries shrines
A slow descent of our lives
In abject misery, aligning stars fall
Dread through the centuries shrines
A coldness spreading through time
In abject misery, enduring scars form
(Enduring scars form)
Dread through centuries shrines
A cold descent of our lives
In abject misery, aligning stars fall
Dread through the centuries shrines
A coldness spreading through time
In abject misery, enduring scars form
In abject misery, enduring scars form
In abject misery, enduring scars form
Symbolic virtue
I cannot sleep through endless hours
I cannot breathe the thoughts devour
I cannot weep through lost desire
An image burns into the fire
We’re hollowed, through sorrow
We follow, yearn tomorrow
To death’s symbolic virtue
We’re hollowed, through sorrow
We follow down that long road
To death’s symbolic virtue
With fingers clenched the dread empowers
In our lament, the menace towers
Into fragments the bridge has fallen
Gods orders breached, a will is calling
We’re hollowed, through sorrow
We follow yearn tomorrow
To death’s symbolic virtue
We’re hollowed, through sorrow
We follow down that long road
To death’s symbolic virtue
(To death’s symbolic virtue)
We’re hollowed, through sorrow
We follow yearn tomorrow
To death’s symbolic virtue
We’re hollowed, through sorrow
We follow down that long road
To death’s symbolic virtue
