1. That Was Just Your Life
Like a siren in my head that always threatens to repeat,Like a blind man that is strapped into the speeding driver's seat,
Like a face that learns to speak, when all it knew was how to bite
Like a misery that keeps me focused though I've gone astray
Like an endless nightmare that I must awaken from each day.
Like conviction
A premonition,
Not worthy of, so I deny... I deny.
[Pre-chorus:]
I blind my eyes and try to force it all into place,
I stitch them up, see not my fall from grace.
I blind my eyes, I hide and feel it passing me by,
I open just in time to say goodbye.
[Chorus:]
Almost like your life,
Almost like your endless fight,
Curse the day is long,
Realize you don't belong,
Disconnect somehow,
Never stop the bleeding now,
Almost like your fight,
And there it went,
Almost like your life.
Like a wound that keeps on bleeding to remind me not to think
Like a raging river drowning when I only need a drink,
Like a poison that I swallow, but I want the world to die.
Like a release from a prison that I didn't know I was in,
Like a fight to live the past I prayed to leave from way back then
Like a general without a mission until the war will start again,
Start again.
[Pre-chorus]
[Chorus]
[Solo]
Like a touch from hell to feel how hot
That it can get if you get caught,
Like a strike from heaven turns that key,
And brings you straight down to your knees,
Like a touch from hell to feel how hot
That it can get if I get caught,
Like a strike from heaven to reprieve,
That brings you straight down to your knees.
[Dual guitar solo]
[Chorus]
That was just your life.
2. The End Of The Line
Need more and moreTainted misery
Bleed, battle scars
Chemical affinity
Reign, legacy
Innocence corrode
Stain, rot away
Catatonic overload
Choke, asphyxia
Snuff reality
Scorch, kill the light
Incinerate celebrity
Reaper, butchery
Karma amputee
Bloodline redefined
Death, contagious deity
[Pre-chorus:]
Hooked into this deceiver
Need more and more
Into the endless fever
Need more and more
[Chorus:]
New consequence machine
You burn through all your gasoline
Asylum overtime, never mind
You've reached the end of the line
Time, choke the clock
Steal another day
Die faithfully
Narcissistic fade away
Twisted, jumped the rail
Shatter the crowd below
Breaker, chase the ghost
From latest high to all-time low
[Pre-chorus]
[Chorus]
Drop the hourglass of time
Spilling sand we will not find
As we gather here today
We bid farewell
The slave becomes the master
The slave becomes the master
The slave becomes the master
Need more and more
Right now and ever after
Need more and more
New consequence machine
You burn into through all your gasoline
Asylum overtime, never mind
Dead hourglass of time
Sand we will not ever find
We gather here today to say goodbye
'Cause you've reached the end of the line
The end of the line
The end of the line
The end of the line
You've reached the end of the line
3. Broken, Beat & Scarred
You rise, you fall, you're down then you rise againWhat don't kill you makes you more strong
You rise, you fall, you're down then you rise again
What don't kill you makes you more strong
Rise, fall, down, rise again
What don't kill you makes you more strong
Rise, fall, down, rise again
What don't kill you makes you more strong
Through black days
Through black nights
Through pitch black insights
[Chorus:]
Breaking your teeth on the hard life coming
Show your scars
Cutting your feet on the hard earth running
Show your scars
Breaking your life, broken beat and scarred
But we die hard
The dawn, the death, the fight to the final breath
What don't kill you makes you more strong
The dawn, the death, the fight to the final breath
What don't kill you makes you more strong
Dawn, death, fight, final breath
What don't kill you makes you more strong
Dawn, death, fight, final breath
What don't kill you makes you more strong
They scratch me
They scrape me
They cut and rape me
[Chorus]
Breaking your teeth on the hard life coming
Show your scars
Cutting your feet on the hard earth running
Show your scars
Bleeding your soul in a hard luck story
Show your scars
Spilling your blood in the hot sun's glory
Show your scars
Breaking your life, broken, beat and scarred
We die hard
4. The Day That Never Comes
Born to push you aroundBetter just stay down
You pull away,
He hits the flesh,
You hit the ground
Mouth's so full of lies
Tend to black your eyes
Just keep them closed,
Keep praying,
Just keep waiting
[Chorus:]
Waiting for the one
The day that never comes
When you stand up and feel the warmth
But the sunshine never comes
No, the sunshine never comes
Push you cross that line
Just stay down this time
Hide in yourself,
Crawl in yourself,
You'll have your time
God, I'll make them pay
Take it back one day
I'll end this day,
I'll splatter color on this grey
[Chorus]
Love is a four letter word
And never spoken here
Love is a four letter word
Here in this prison
I suffer this no longer
I put an end to...
This I swear!
This I swear!
The sun will shine
This I swear!
This I swear!
This I swear!
5. All Nightmare Long
One, twoLuck. Runs. Out.
Crawl from the wreckage one more time
Horrific memory twists the mind
Dark, rugged, cold and hard to turn
Path of destruction, feel it burn
Still life, incarnation
Still life, infamy
Hallucination
Heresy
Still you run, what's to come?
What's to be?
[Chorus:]
'cause we hunt you down without mercy
Hunt you down all nightmare long
Feel us breathe upon your face
Feel us shift, every move we trace
Hunt you down without mercy
Hunt you down all nightmare long, yeah
Luck runs out
You crawl back in
But your luck runs out
One, two
Luck. Runs. Out.
The light that is not light is here
To flush you out with your own fear
You hide, you hide, but will be found
Release your grip without a sound
Still life, immolation
Still life, infamy
Hallucination
Heresy
Still you run, what's to come?
What's to be?
[Chorus]
One, two, three, four
Then you crawl back in
Into your obsession
Never to return
This is your confession
Hunt you down without mercy
Hunt you down all nightmare long
Feel us breathe upon your face
Feel us shift, every move we trace
Hunt you down without mercy
Hunt you down all nightmare long, yeah
Luck runs out
You crawl back in
But your luck runs out
Your luck runs out
6. Cyanide
Sleep and dream of thisDeath angel's kiss
Brings final bliss
Completely
[Chorus:]
Empty they say
Death, won't you let me stay?
Empty they say
Death, hear me call your name
Call your name!
Suicide, I've already died
You're just the funeral I've been waiting for
Cyanide, living dead inside
Break this empty shell forevermore
Wait, wait patiently
Your death-black wings
Unfolding sleep
Spreading over me
[Chorus]
Say, is that rain or are they tears?
That has stained your concrete face for years
The crying, weeping, shedding strife
Year after year, life after life
An air of freshly broken ground
A concrete angel laid right down
Upon the grave which swallows fast
It's peace at last, oh, peace at last
[Chorus]
Forevermore!
Forevermore!
It's the funeral I've been waiting for!
7. The Unforgiven III
How could he know this new dawn's lightWould change his life forever?
Set sail to sea but pulled off course
By the light of golden treasure
Was he the one causing pain
With his careless dreaming?
Been afraid, always afraid
Of the things he's feeling
He could just be gone
He would just sail on
He'll just sail on
[Chorus:]
How can I be lost
If I've got nowhere to go?
Searched for seas of gold
How come it's got so cold?
How can I be lost?
In remembrance I relive
How can I blame you
When it's me I can't forgive?
These days drift on inside a fog
It's thick and suffocating
This sinking life outside its hell
Inside intoxicating
He's run aground like his life
Water's much too shallow
Slipping fast down with the ship
Fading in the shadows now
Now a castaway
They've all gone away.
They've gone away.
[Chorus]
Forgive me, forgive me not
Forgive me, forgive me not
Forgive me, forgive me not
Forgive me, forgive me,
Why can't I forgive me?
Set sail to sea but pulled off course
By the light of golden treasure
How could he know this new dawn's light
Would change his life forever?
[Chorus]
8. The Judas Kiss
When the world has turned its backWhen the days have turned pitch black
When the fear abducts your tongue
When the fire's dead and gone
So what now?
Where go I?
When you think it's all said and done...
When you are the ostracized
Selfish written, dead goodbyes
Twisting on the tourniquet
When the pieces never fit
So what now?
Where go I?
When you think it's all said and done...
[Chorus:]
Bow down,
Sell your soul to me
I will set you free
Pacify your demons
Bow down
Surrender unto me
Submit infectiously
Sanctify your demons
Into abyss
You don't exist
Cannot resist the Judas kiss
When the storm has blacked your sky
Intuition crucify
When the ego strips your reign
Assassinate the living flame
So what now?
Where go I?
When you think it's all said and done
Venom of a life insane
Flies into your fragile vein
Internalize and decimate
Patronize and complicate
So what now?
Where go I?
When you think it's all said and done
[Chorus]
Judas lives, recite this vow
I've become your new god now
Followed you from dawn of time
Whispered thoughts into your mind
Watched your towers hit the ground
Lured the children never found
Helped your kings abuse their crown
In the heart of feeble man
Plant the seeds of my own plan
The strong and powerful will fall
Find a piece of me in all
Inside you all so...
[Chorus]
9. Suicide & Redemption
[Instrumental]10. My Apocalypse
ClaustrophobicCrawl out of this skin
Heart explosive
Reaching, pull that pin
Feel thy name extermination
Desecrate inhale the fire
So we cross that line
Into the grips
Total eclipse
Suffer unto my apocalypse!
Deadly vision
Prophecy reveal
Death magnetic
Pulling closer still
Feel thy name annihilation
Desolate, inhale the fire
So we cross that line
Into the grips
Total eclipse
Suffer unto my apocalypse!
My apocalypse... Go!
Crushing metal, ripping skin
Tossing body mannequin
Spilling blood, bleeding gas
Mangle flesh, snapping spine
Dripping bloody valentine
Shatter face, spitting glass
Split apart
Split apart
Split apart
Split
Spit it out!
What makes me drift a little bit closer?
Dead man takes the steering wheel
What makes me know it's time to cross over?
Forced to repeat until I feel
See through the skin the bones they all rattle
Future and past they disagree
Flesh falls away the bones they all shatter
I start to see the end in me
See the end in me...
Claustrophobic
Climb out of this skin
Heart explosive
Waiting for that pin
Violate, annihilate
A loser to my eyes
Obliterate, exterminate
At last accept, deny
Feel thy name as hell awakens
Destiny, inhale the fire
But we cross that line
Into the grips
Total eclipse
Suffer unto my apocalypse!
Tyrants awaken my apocalypse!
Demon awaken my apocalypse!
Heaven awaken my apocalypse!
Suffer forever my apocalypse!
