Lyrics

1. NOT ALL WHO WONDER ARE LOST

Only the Gods know
They're looking right through you
Straight...into the eyes of a dead man
There isn't enough...hours in a day
What will be seen
When your world comes crashing down
Staring...in the eyes of a gone man
No more fuckin' time, left, on your side...on your side

All of your hopes and dreams....don't mean shit
All that's left is...now to nowhere
Nowhere

I believe...do anything at all costs
You must believe
Not All Who Wonder Are Lost

Tied to the tree of woe, so woe to you
In front of...the man with the dead eyes
With, a choir of faith...there's still, Hell to pay
Not enough hours in the day
Hell of...penitence to be paid
So, who's, left to wonder?
In the wake of destruction, get made

All of your hopes and dreams...never meant shit
All that's left is...now to nowhere

I believe...do anything at all costs
You must believe
Not All Who Wonder Are Lost

Fuck

Something, somewhere, injects the eye
Texas nights
Defile the sky.


2. CLOUDS OVER CALIFORNIA

Come forth for the cattle call
Confront the evil river you can't control
Wicked way and venomous eyes
Just human nature in disguise
Lost in this world, out on the edge
With death, by our sides

Today I swore that I wouldn’t mourn ya
Clouds Over California

If that's the way it's gonna be then I'll fuckin' go it alone
I'm a saint...in sinners eyes
Curse the Clouds Over California
This is...the call to obey
Let the chaos...reign
Reign

Bloodshot and weary-eyed
We took you in full of sin and pride
It'll take you and break you away
It'll tear you apart

Today I swore that I wouldn’t mourn ya
Clouds Over California

It that's the way it's gonna be then I'll fuckin' go it alone
I'm a saint...in sinners eyes
Curse the Clouds Over California
This is...the call to obey
Let the chaos...reign

I'm a saint...in sinners eyes
Curse the Clouds Over California
This is...the call to obey
Let the chaos...reign
Reign

It that's the way it's gonna be then I'll fuckin' go it alone
I'm a saint...in sinners eyes
Curse the Clouds Over California
This is...the call to obey
Let the chaos...reign

I'm a saint...in sinners eyes
Curse the Clouds Over California
This is...the call to obey
Let the chaos...reign

Shit.


3. BOUND BY THE MOON

Brothers and sisters
The Lord's taking his his own sweet time
Without rhyme or reason
The failure is thine

Like wolves to a virgin
The intention is made clear
At war with our selves
At war with the odds
At odds with the fear
Hard times will bring you way, way down
And all of this running
It's gonna be the death of me

When they ask, you about this
Tell them I was

Running...in the company of wolves
It's the company we keep
Brotherhood
Bound by the Moon

Went to the well
But the goddamn thing was dry today
I spent, all of my life
Running from suicide
Is it the fucking fool
That keeps on chasing the dream?
A dream that cannot fail
So proudly, we hail

When they ask
(When they ask), you about this
Tell them I was...

Running...in the company of wolves
It's the company we keep
Brotherhood
Bound by the Moon
By the moon

And we shall roam
And the wolf, fucking fucked her
Lay...as she...lay, bleeding, on the moors
Bleeding on the moors

Running...in the company of wolves
It's the company we keep
Brotherhood
Bound by the moon

Brotherhood of wolves.


4. HORN OF BETRAYAL

What the fuck do you want from me?
It's so damn plain to see, that you're not grateful
Silence takes...courage
No scars, no truth but the wounds tell the story
Of what will be done, for honor and glory
Silence is...deafening
Does the end justify the means?
In all honesty, how do you sleep?
Silence takes...courage

The Horn, of Betrayal
Sounds loudly for the fallen
While mine eyes are, worlds away

Watch cowards, as they bend the knee
Scratch a liar...find a thief

Inside is where the demon dwells
So I bite my tongue when it comes, to, you
Silence takes...courage
Your heart needs amputation
Crying the get, lost, blues...fuck, you
Silence is...deafening

The Horn, of Betrayal
Sounds loudly for the fallen
While mine eyes are, worlds away

Watch cowards, as they bend the knee
Scratch a liar...find a thief

Through the lies and the blasphemy
You are fucking dead to me
You, are, dead, to, me

This de los muerte, this day...of the dead
It turns for celebration...instead
Skull and bones, walking away...from a throne
To seek another kingdom...another kingdom
Another kingdom...another kingdom
Yeah

Your...selfless...heart, heart, heart
Your...selfless
Waves of sorrow washed over me
Your...selfless
Like a sea of new memories.


5. THESE FIGHTING WORDS

Pleading your case....while taking the eternal...high ground

Havoc on the airwaves, I'm listening
Don't see any daylight glistening
Long for the home I left yesterday
Those memories slowly decay

Two highways
The fork in the road
Which one to take?
Through the middle they role

These...Fighting Words deserve exile
Banished
Unbelievable, unbelievable
Invincible, right

Fucking...feast for the eyes
Believe no...beast killer arise
In my opinion this dominion is mine
Banished...days gone away

These...Fighting Words deserve exile
Banished
Unbelievable, unbelievable
Invincible (x2)

These...Fighting Words deserve exile
Banished
Unbelievable, unbelievable
Invincible (x2)

Die
Goddamn invincible
Goddamn invincible
Unbelievable.


6. HEAD ON TO HEARTACHE (LET THEM ROT)

Secure and hold fast
Before you loose control

It's...Hell or high water
Believe in Gods, hooves, horns and thunder
Days of wrath, don't go seeking shelter
Poison creeps, serpents slither, then slumber

Bastards, paradise, true the bargain was made
Full thrust, enticed to an early grave
Deals were struck late into a cold winter's eve
The table was set, laid out for the feast

Secure and hold fast, before you lose control

Head on to Heartache
(Heartache), beware of the promises made
Head on to Heartache
(Heartache), steadfast to an early grave Let Them Rot

Deals with the Devil, there's no second best
It's in my nature to say, fuck the rest
Ever thought the world was crashing down?
Man, people were talking all around

Bastards, paradise, true the bargain was made
Full thrust, enticed to an early grave
Deals were struck late into a cold winter's eve
The table was set, laid out for the feast

Secure and hold fast, before you lose control

Head on to Heartache
(Heartache), beware of the promises made
Head on to Heartache
(Heartache), steadfast to an early grave Let Them Rot

Head on to Heartache
Beware of the promises made
Head on to Heartache
Steadfast to an early grave Let Them Rot

Let, them, fucking, rot
Let 'em rot

Secure and hold fast, before you lose control

Head on to Heartache
Beware of the promises made
Head on to Heartache
Steadfast to an early grave Let Them Rot (x2)

(Let Them Rot) (x12).


7. BURNING SERMON

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news
You carry the burden as an excuse
To keep the pressure on, so you don't fall off
Seem to love the unusual vices
Gonna get your fill
So take your pills
I'll see you in the morning
No one ever comes full circle, and never will
Welcome to the pity party
The sign says “Kill”

Oh, the webs you've woven
The lies you've chosen
The love in ruins
This fucking betrayal
Will bring the truth out
Out on the table, for all to see, see

This...burning heart, is a Burning Sermon
With whiskey it burns

Taken, ridden, ravaged
Bedlam
Mansions of misery, built on pain
Your houses of deceit
Wake up
You fucking coward of a man
The line between us
Has been drawn in the sand
I'm calling you out
On all your bullshit to date
So hang a light, out for me

Oh, the webs you've woven
The lies you've chosen
The love in ruins
This fucking betrayal
Will bring the truth out
Out on the table, for all to see, see

This...burning heart, is a Burning Sermon
With whiskey it burns

Taken, ridden, ravaged
Bedlam
Mansions of misery, built on pain
Your houses of deceit

This fucking betrayal

This a call to the throne
Call to the throne

Mansions of misery, built on pain
Your houses of deceit
Wake up

This is a call to the throne.


8. MONSTERS OF THE DEEP

Is there a promised land or am I
On the journey going to nowhere?
Are the streets paved with gold or am I
Slipping on the mold that slowly grows there?

Every man has his conscience
Sanity

Left along the way
Carried in this vessel
(Vessel), setting forth together now
Out towards, the Monsters of the Deep

Set your sights on rocky shores
You just might run aground...on the reef
(On the reef), journey's in the destination
Mention fear, you're falling on deaf ears

Every man has his conscience
Sanity

Left along the way
Carried in this vessel
(Vessel), setting forth together now
Out towards, the Monsters of the Deep

Aye, aye

Left along the way
Carried in this vessel
(Vessel), setting forth together now
Out towards, the Monsters of the Deep

Monsters of the Deep.


9. TIRADES OF TRUTH

Reaping the wind, through this mortal shell
In the wake of destruction, this will not fall
Walking with shadows, defined by my suffering
Feeding the spirit, through divine intervention
Out of the fire, so much for compassion
I've thrown it to desire, in time you'll hear

Tirades of Truth
Glazed and angry eyes
Spoken to, by the breath of Gods
In the valley...of death's decision
The judgment...listen

The last, kind words ever, said will be
You will live below, angels
And above, beasts

It's seldom clear, the roads to temptation
Are filled with such peril but the human spirit can soar
It's more, than we can ever be in one lifetime
We need more, to become Gods ourselves

Tirades of Truth
Glazed and angry eyes
Spoken to, by the breath of Gods
In the valley...of death's decision
The judgment...listen

The last, kind words ever, said will be
You will live below, angels
And above, beasts

Temptation

Even...the Heavens, aren't innocent
Innocent

Tirades of Truth
Glazed and angry eyes
Spoken to, by the breath of Gods
In the valley...of death's decision
The judgment...listen

The last, kind words ever, said will be
You will live below, angels
And above, beasts.

Above beasts...above beasts...above beasts

And above beasts

And above beasts.


10. WHEN SUMMONED

Bloodthirsty...born on the wind
Hellbent...outside looking in
Voices that carry on nightly
Don't ask...just go in now blindly

I'm bloodshot, thrown away goods
Venomous, so fucking ruthless
A well of anger, to be, avoided

Extended forgiveness, and then got bit
They call it the breaking point
When it comes to faith, this time you've quit
You call it the breaking point

Stand up against the gates and be counted
Counted
When Summoned (x2)

Nothing's ever set in stone
Wade through, harvest seeds you've sown
It's all right, right as rain
As far as I'm concerned
Fuck the fame

I'm bloodshot, thrown away goods
Venomous, so fucking ruthless
A well of sadness, to be, avoided

Extended forgiveness and then got bit
They call it the breaking point
When it comes to faith, this time you've quit
You call it the breaking point

Stand up against and be counted
Counted
When summoned (x2)

Climbing...scratching...uphill
So breathless, lifeless, able still

Long live this short life trouble
Long live, short life
Long live this short life trouble
Long live, long live...long live...long live.


11. THE AXE SHALL FALL

This...abomination
Will see the end of days
Sit...throne of lies, torn
By voice on high
Death...was only a dream
Not devastating disaster
The rights of passage
The past that we can't alter

Fuck you, you
And the horse that you rode in on
Just, sit there
And be silent as the grave
You've come out this time
Smelling just like roses
I sit there, watch, while I drink my wine

The weight of your sins
And the evil beneath us
Will surely...drag you down

The Axe Shall Fall
On the one winged-angel
Breaking the spell
Would you break this fall?
For he
(He), who sins
(Sins), against his kind
The Axe Shall Fall

Alright...alright

With a hollow heart
And hollow eyes
A cry, from your cross
Serpents in disguise
Hearts of distrust
Is what, we despise
I sit there, watch while I drink my wine

The weight of your sins
And the evil beneath us
Will surely...drag you down

The Axe Shall Fall
On the one winged-angel
Breaking the spell
Would you break this fall?
For he
(He), who sins
(Sins), against his kind
The Axe Shall Fall

Alright

Alright

The Axe...Shall Fall
On the one-winged angel...tonight
Tonight...tonight

Tonight.
