Last Words 04:18
lyrics

I'm writing you this letter and wishing things were better I've had a lot of time, I'm beginning to forget her And as the light begins to fade I realize the price I paid To have it all the axe will fall into this bed I've made These are my last words Before the memories were blurred I'll not forget you Writ with trembling hand When I made my final stand I did so just for you With shadows darken sight When creatures block the only light Digging down to see that withins the will to fight Theres nothing you can say To make the troubles go away You'll have to seize the day And make your own mistakes

The Hunger 03:30
lyrics

I'm standing up or maybe falling down My knees are shaking I must have got up way too fast To the point my aching joints I've got a pain in my head Trying to think of what I remember last Don't stop she said don't stop she comes again and again and a-fuckin-gain and again Have you ever been afraid with the lights out Until you meet this girl you don't know what you're talking about Like every day she's getting down to the matters Am I getting thinner or is she just getting fatter Whats these needle marks diggin in my arm My veins are popping my blood is running cold See she's watching while I'm sleeping silent creeping alarm! Abort the mission before she takes control! Don't stop she said don't stop she comes again and again and a-fuckin-gain and again Have you ever been afraid with the lights out Until you meet this girl you don't know what you're talking about Like every day she's getting down to the matters Am I getting thinner or is she just getting fatter Death is raining fire watching you become a liar Second base head case now I'm starting to perspire Coming up short I'm beginning to contort Watch your ways find you out now I know what you're about She's eaten my insides but I remain alive but just an empty shell Beaten by disguise her hunger satisfied to leave me in this hell (Theres no way of knowing how long I can survive)

Down To The Medium 03:39
lyrics
buy track
When darkness falls don't be afraid You know that its how we're made To live the life like its in your head Don't worry about the path thats ahead And when we were young Yeah, life was like a loaded gun But when you're burdened by the need to know You have to go... Down to the medium Waiting with obsidian Walk where once your shadow passed away Down to the medium Waiting with obsidian Walk where once your shadow passed Seeing shapes behind that glass Burned through my soul lying in my bed Then fingers pulled me down with the dead I struggled to find my way back in Yeah, to find where I begin So I hold onto her Cause at the end, I'll be needing a friend But if you're burdened by the need to know You have to go...

We Are Shadow 04:42
lyrics

Feel the channel deep within If I knock you let me in You'll not know of my deprive I make you feel alive Fire rain cascading down Reaching for this shining crown Only time can save us now Only time can save us now And I feel the sun swept wind and rain I know the winters edge but not my name And I am faceless I am shadow I am the darkness waiting down below Surface water can conceal What you think and how you feel When there's no way to prevail Black tides and we set sail Darkest fears, its cold embrace Finding out your hidden place Planting seeds of fear and doubt Bleeding you from inside out Hold onto something if you're feeling weak Don't let go when it whispers to defeat Preditate and land on your feet Pulling closer to what you seek Closer now than we were before Kick it in and I want more Scent of blood and test of will Only keeping what you kill

Original Sin 04:09
lyrics

Its not about your lips calling my name You're telling me like I'm playing your game Backed in the corner and you're gonna get bit If you wanted your shot then this is it I know your kind It don't mean that much if I'm leaving you behind Pretend to me that you care You can't see my face, like you saw me standing there Sometimes I get by, you can't bring me down Its a waste to even try Its not your looks that knock me to my knees Its not your eyes that are begging to please Never had trouble getting more than your share Look into your eyes but theres nobody there

Before The Devil Knows You're Dead 03:31
lyrics
buy track
Going down I hit it again Losing faith in everything Circling smoke into my veins Sky turns from black to red One more time and we'll be dead It only burns us when it rains Before the devil knows you're dead I'll have you safely wrapped up in my head Before the devil knows you're dead I'll have you safely locked up in my head Drowning liquid burns my heart Chains are pulling us apart Waiting for death to arrive Raven souls with blackened wings Seeing all the little things Now they're eating us alive Free your fate, its not too late

Burden Of You 04:53
lyrics
buy track
See the light up in the shelter Its always been there since I felt her The times that we had when you're weighing me down Our loves so deep that you're watching me drown Is there another time for another chance Whispers by the window selling circumstance Right around the corner is there something new Its a burden on me, its a burden of you Sinking down in the mud trying to stay ahead Swearing under my breath that you want me dead Hopeless is the feeling when I hold on to If its not revealing I'll be burying you Its a burden of you Look through the window Watching the ground break Look through the window Watching you die!

Sense Of Balance 05:25
lyrics
buy track
I can't decide where the axis turns The shadows fall as the cities burn Looking back for another sign Watching fates as fates align Time measured out in the second hand The monkey crawls before he learns to stand The creature tries to comprehend I think its time we turned it down I watched you go down I watched your face fall I thought you had it all Its just some slime until it learns to speak Running the back door same night every week This is how a race advances Will we get a second change To bring back romance A kiss before the dance A sense of balance Burn it down, it down, it down Quit that before I give you a smack cause theres really only one of us Quit that before I'm taking it back cause you're gonna be the death of us In my dreams I'm emotionally stunned by the things I can't see Swat at the air run a comb through my hair cause you know you ain't stoppin me Sometimes we'd like to believe that we're all that we see but we're skimming the pond Push through the mesh thats our death and I'll make you confess that its all thats beyond Now I watched you go down I saw your face fall I thought you had it all Chance to bring back romance A kiss before the dance A sense of balance

Swallowed Hole 05:22
lyrics
buy track
I watched the legions fall Struggled to fight you off From the pot into the fire Dripping down into the mire I feel the biting cold I feel the pounding rain I taste the blood inside I shaped the form I'm in Never to hold you away Time keeps us wasting away And its cold like dying Suffocate Feed me to the lions I'm not afraid I see your darkest place Temptation has a taste Watching as your wounds are healed Seperating from the real Burn your apocalypse Seek your teeth into this Feel darkness cold embrace Feel rain stinging your face I watch your shadow race Bringing me into your empty place Shutting the door as you're closing your eyes Lifting the spirit that suffers and dies Not afraid! This hell is freezing cold Your pulse is getting slow Why did my spirit fall When darkened beckon calls I hear the thunder tell Behind your empty shell One step you're swallowed hole Taking back my blackened soul And its cold like dying Suffocate Feed me to the lions I'm not afraid I'm not afraid

Destroyer Of Souls
lyrics
Are you ready for me now Thought it was your first time We all need to feel Something real We try so hard To fight and to believe in Time has a way Of leaving us behind Lay down Destroyer of Souls, Destroyer Save us from no self control, Destroyer Sharpen your blade And stab me in the back Fall into me Set me free Waiting isn't lasting Death might set us free We all need to heal For eternity Lay down Destroyer of Souls, Destroyer Save us from no self control, Destroyer Set me free!
