Assassins

welcome to the sanctuary come honor all that fell before
we’ve sharpened the blades we carry we’re washed up on these bloody shores
hold steady in place the order that I give
we’re ready we’re taking back the way we live
I’ve never wanted a taste of you
I only wanted to taste the truth
I’m cutting you out for my sake
spilling the blood as you wake
forget all the prayers that you make
I’m sure you’ve heard I’m your assassin
welcome to the mortuary you’ve never seen this place before
legend as they speak be wary will shake you right down to your core
I’ve never wanted the blood you shed
I only wanted to chase the dead
I’m cutting you out for my sake
spilling the blood as you wake
forget all the prayers that you make
I’m sure you’ve heard I’m your assassin
I’ve never ever wanted to get a taste of you
I’ve only ever wanted to get a taste of truth
I’ve never ever wanted to have to hear your lies
now I’ve gone and got you hypnotized
I’m cutting you out for my sake
spilling the blood as you wake
forget all the prayers that you make
I’m sure you’ve heard I’m your assassin

fear setting in beneath my skin this twisted feeling
caught up in he act again betrayed by my blood my closet friend
what is love without meaning?
what is peace without feeling?
I’m just getting this feeling you’re imitating
what’s a life with devotion?
what is heart without motion?
all the games that you’re playing I just can’t get it right
this chapter ends closure begins I’m taking over
caught up in he act again betrayed as another means to an end
what is love without meaning?
what is peace without feeling?
I’m just getting this feeling you’re imitating
what’s a life no devotion
what is heart without motion?
all the games that you play I just can’t get it right
walls are falling down
this is the final act I’m closing down
crashing to the ground
how will you live knowing I’m not around
I’m taking control now where will you go
it’s too late now your apologies can hit the fucking road
hit the road
what is love without meaning?
what is peace without feeling?
I’m just getting this feeling you’re imitating
what’s a life with devotion?
what is heart without motion?
all the games that you’re playing I just can’t get it right

Born To Wage

unmarked for war so let them fall before me
the end before your eyes man are you listening?
before your spirit meets the steel one thing make sure you know
my blood was made for heads to roll unmarked in darkness
the end is near
see this is the age marked in my thirst for hunger
weapons forged in rage weapons to take you under
blood was born to wage this is the life for all my days
there is no other way know I was born to wage
told you before
our time is now so do you get my meaning
we’re crossing this line again
we’ve come to tow the line up to the very end
see this is the age marked in my thirst for hunger
weapons forged in rage weapons to take you under
blood was born to wage this is the life for all my days
there is no other way know I was born to wage
this is the end I can feel your last breath leaking out
this is the end now I can see your eyes fading black now
this is the end I can hear your voice I don’t fear you
this is the end I can taste your blood
we’re crossing these broken lines again
we’ve come to tow the line up to the very end
see this is the age marked in my thirst for hunger
weapons forged in rage weapons to take you under
blood was born to wage this is the life for all my days
there is no other way know I was born to wage

Retaliation

your masterplan’s a waist of time
I’m right behind you’re never getting out alive
you’re a fool you can’t contend with me
tapped in your blood while you were wasting precious energy
the knife the bow the skin the bone the blade
you’ll see you’re waisting time
your life your own your sin your fate was made
I’ve come to take your life
see, I’ve got a calling and I can’t afford to waist my time
setup for the falling and I can’t afford to get out of line
you broke the rules you’ve crossed the seams
you’ve laid your own contraption where no one else can hear your screams
the knife the bow the skin the bone the blade
don’t ever waist my time
your life your own your sin your fate was made
before I waist your life
see, I got a calling and I can’t afford to waist my time
setup for the falling and I can’t afford to get out of line
don’t care for your reasons, you’ll never amount to what you’ll find
so shut you mouth, you’d best be still
cause I’m built to kill
it’s too late I’m crawling up beneath your spine
it’s too wrong that it took this long to meet your line
I can’t breathe putting an end to all your crooked lies
I can not sleep till you’ve have met your demise
it’s too late I’m crawling up behind you
it’s so wrong that it took this long to find you
I cannot breathe putting an end to all your crooked lies
it’s time for the end
see, I got a calling and I can’t afford to waist my time
setup for the falling and I can’t afford to get out of line
don’t care for your reasons, you’ll never amount to what you’ll find
so shut you mouth, you’d best be still
cause I’m built to kill

Dark Holes
04:46
|
|||
|
feeling this blackened sun
plunging into darkness where my torment has begun
searing this very soul
there’s nothing there beneath me there’s been nothing left to hold
as my conscience fades away
drawing closer to the grave
there is nothing left to say so release me
how can I love you if all you ever do is call on me?
how can I show you if all you ever seek ain’t what you need?
how can I know you? reaching further only brings me grief
but how can I leave you now? dark holes are deepening
round and around we go
preparing your excuses all these tears are just for show
wrapping around my brain protecting your own ego I’m about to go insane
as my conscience fades away
drawing closer to the grave
there is nothing left to say
the time has come to lead the way
let your wicked ways decay
I won’t let you slip away and away again
dark holes run deeper
dark mountains steeper
and now you’re stepping in shit
how can I love you if all you ever do is call on me?
how can I show you if all you ever seek ain’t what you need?
how can I know you? reaching further only brings me grief
but how can I leave you now? dark holes are deepening

Liberation

our words are sealed inside as the world passes us by
see, you gave me solace under the sky
in the heat and rain I know you are with me
I have waited too long don’t forget me
fly with me flow with me you are not alone
release me as far as you will ever see I’ve been here all along
our secret’s here to stay as the world spins everyday take flight and dream your nightmares away
in the heat and rain I know you are with me
I have waited too long
in the dark of night you’ll never leave me and I’ll remain ever-strong as the rising sea
fly with me flow with me you are not alone
release me as far as you will ever see I’ve been here all along
I walk the line between whatever comes against you I will fight
oh I I’ll tow the line even if it means the end of my own life
in the heat and rain I know you are with me
I have waited too long don’t forget me
fly with me flow with me you are not alone
release me as far as you will ever see I’ve been here all along

Demoness
03:40
|
|||
|
oh she’s right behind you she’s coming to greet you she’s come to welcome you to the grave
and all she needs is one thing a heart that is clutching she’s needs to make sure you behave
oh welcome home your new master
prepare to burry your pain
oh just feel your heart beating faster
your will is tied to the chain
feel your will depleting deprived of all meaning your soul it shrieks again and again
but the only one to blame here look dead in the mirror it’s time to take control of your shame
oh you must become you own master
so standing up to your pain
oh just feel your heart beating faster
it’s time to shake off these chains
I don’t care what they say I don’t care away I just care enough to not go insane
I don’t care how she treats you don’t care how she needs you she’s come to tap the blood from your veins she’s the demoness
the venom has spread throughout mankind and I’ve tried to throw out that lifeline
I don’t really care what they may say to me
you serve that demoness I’ll tow the line
no more games
she’s taken from me
no more chains
I don’t care what they say I don’t care away I just care enough to not go insane
I don’t care how she treats you don’t care how you see the demoness must be slain
she’s the demoness

Flesh n' Blood
04:18
|
|||
|
I dug out your grave while you were smiling
there’s no better time to break the silence
you’ve wondered for years why we’re divided
let’s reveal the truth that you’ve been hiding all the while you’re crying
I’m sick of these games I’m tired of delays
I’m tired I’m tied to flesh and blood I’m tied to flesh and blood
forget the old ways keep tapping those veins beneath the skin
flesh and blood is why I’m closing in
you think that your fury has deterred me
blood thick as the mire yet undeserving
I think that your ways are worth unlearning
beware of the fire forever burning all the while returning
I’m sick of these games I’m tired of delays
I’m tired I’m tied to flesh and blood I’m tied to flesh and blood
forget the old ways keep tapping those veins beneath the skin
flesh and blood is why I’m digging in
just let go just leave the past behind why don’t you just let go and let the future decide why don’t you just let go
I’m sick of these games I’m tired of delays
I’m tired I’m tied to flesh and blood I’m tied to flesh and blood
forget the old ways keep tapping those veins beneath the skin
flesh and blood is why I’m closing in

Life In Fire
04:25
|
|||
|
you said something to me about living and learning
oh but you chose to take the back way while I was burning
hey don’t you see how I have listened to your every word? oh
and the fire that once consumed me has made its turn for the last time now
I’ve buried the pain beneath my distant nightmares
it ain’t about where I’ve been but how I got there
oh don’t you see how I’ve been forged in your very wake? oh
endlessly I’m cleaning up for your past mistakes for the last time now
a day in the life you would be searching for something a life in the fire won’t be taken away from me it’s time to face that fire
a day in the life you would be looking for nothing a life in the fire won’t be taken away from me it’s time to face that fire
go, why don’t you know?
it’s taken away but I need to work harder
no, why don’t you go?
I’m facing defeat now I need to act smarter go
a day in the life you would be searching for something a life in the fire won’t be taken away from me it’s time to face that fire
a day in the life you would be looking for nothing a life in the fire won’t be taken away from me it’s time to face that fire

Paracynic

I have an admirer playing my life as far as they will go
it’s hard but this game you’re playing is done as far as you will know
you’re addicted to me I’m addicted to you
we’re stuck and forever sinking it’s time for us to face the truth
so quit your complaining your lost inside that lonely look
I can’t keep explaining you’re blind you’re a damned paracynic
you’re twisted inside you’re saying but I can’t believe a single word
I have no desire to reach you much more forget all you have heard
I’m addicted to you you’re addicted to me
you’re all out of lame excuses I’m tired why don’t you let me be
so quit your complaining your lost inside that lonely look
I can’t keep explaining you’re blind you’re a damned paracynic
I’m addicted to you you’re addicted to me
we’re stuck in this game explaining once more why we will never be
you’re addicted to me I’m addicted to you
we’ll never submit and we’ll never forget and that’s fucking issue
so quit your complaining your lost inside that lonely look
I can’t keep explaining you’re blind you’re a damned paracynic

Tight Rope
04:34
|
|||
|
I feel it beneath my skin
beneath my very soul it’s just like I cannot win
my eyes seek to criticize
they seem to overlook those times that I told you all these lies
this place seems to medicate
this tightened rope inside confines my actions to the circus
I hear deep inside my mind
buried deep within my spirit I cannot hide
my voice speaks a bitter word
lost to my own preconceptions a voice you’ve never heard
this place seems to medicate
this tightened rope inside confines my actions to the circus
nightmares seem to threaten me
the final act you’ll never know
we balance on the tight rope
I walk the line between spaces where you’re heart and voice collide
I walk the line between the peaks and cracks where you hide all you lies
I am inside I am inside
this place seems to medicate
this tightened rope inside confines my actions to the circus
nightmares seem to threaten me
the final act you’ll never know
we balance on the tight rope
