Lyrics

1. DEATH

I'm not your gateway
I'm not your prodigal son
I am the vile lesser-than
Just who do you think I am?

I'm not your standard
I'm not your vision divine
I am no sacrificial lamb
Just who do you think I am?

I am death (x4)

I'm not your sacrifice
I'm not your shelter in the storm
I am determinately man
Just who do you think I am?

I'm not your child
I'm not your paragon of just
I am by other means damned
Just who do you think I am?

[Chorus]

I am death (x4)
Who do you think I am? (x4)


2. ARTIFICIAL LIGHT

Tell me your misery
Give us the antidote
I heard the voice of change
Behind a vacant note

All this tearing apart
Without a reform
Call it what you will
I'm not afraid to say

I've heard it all, connection lost
We're standing by, artificial light
You sell a fix for our defect
And all we find, artificial light

Doesn't break the model
I can't feel it in my bones
Nothing shattering my world
No...

We want a real cure
Not idle sympathy
The dark consuming light
That you have failed to be

No, it's not enough
I resent this deprivation
Your remedy is not a weapon
To slaughter the sorrow
It's just to keep you from feeling alone

I'll never see what they see in you


3. WHAT I'M NOT

Time is wearing down my fight
My determination
Dividing in my head
This degeneration cull
It's my definiton
Recalling all I am
Where I begin

I could live my life for the void inside
To the vacant rise surrender mine
Forever divide

But I know
How the rest will go
And the line
That I live behind
Never hide
Never Compromise
Like Them
Everything I am
Is what I'm not

In my revelation
I can see it all clear
My enemy, my guide
Every idol I refuse
Every declaration
Becoming all I am
To my end


4. THE LAST ONE ALIVE

Did anyone survive?
I swear I heard your voice beyond this side
Does anyone still try?
Does anyone still hope to set their eyes beyond this place?

Where angels fall and darkness reigns
Where time dissolves the brightest flame

Whether I'm the last one alive
Or ascend before my time
Better I'm the last one alive
Than a soul denied

So this is how we break
And this is where we find the only hope within this place

Where angels fall and darkness reigns
Where time dissolves the brightest flame

(x2)
Whether I'm the last one alive
Or ascend before my time
Better I'm the last one alive
Than a soul denied

[Solo]

Whether I'm the last one alive
Or ascend before my time
Better I'm the last one alive
Than a soul denied, a soul denied

Whether I'm the last one alive
Or ascend before my time
Better I'm the last one alive
Than a soul denied


5. I WILL FAIL YOU

These quiet words, they carry me away
Returning
They keep coming back
In idle thoughts and hollow cut-aways
Disarm me
No will to attack

Though the sorrow and fear they may depart you today

I will fail you
Of that I'm sure
I will remind you of the pain forevermore
And when my sins are just a memory
Faith restored
I will fail you
To the core

Lost in the shadow of an endless grace
Relentless
My reign is unbound
In this abandon I will devastate
Dismember
Till agony’s found

Though the sorrow and fear they may depart you today

I will fail you
Of that I'm sure
I will remind you of the pain forevermore
And when my sins are just a memory
Faith restored
I will fail you
To the core

I know they prey upon me
I feel them just beyond my door

I will fail you
Of that I'm sure
I will remind you of the pain forevermore
And when my sins are just a memory
Faith restored
I will fail you
To the core


6. ONE LAST SONG

There is a fire in me
I feel its burn within my flesh
Returning back
With every vacancy of breath
No compromise
There is no blade to bring me down
Bleeding at the seams
I ever fight the final round

All of the sorrow, all of the pain
Hold me down
This is the battle within my name
Forever

One last song to sing
One final decree
One last song
This everlasting word inside me

There is a final day
To every tear, every breath
Falling enemies
No burn of anguish in us left
All will be undone
When every lost will be found
On this day I cease
To ever fight the final round

All of the sorrow, all of the pain
Hold me down
This is the battle within my name
Forever

One last song to sing
One final decree
One last song
This everlasting word inside me

Forever give me… this day
For every soul they take away
Forever give me… this day
For every lie to wash away

All of the sorrow, all of the pain
Hold me down
This is the battle within my name
Forever

One last song to sing
One final decree
One last song
This everlasting word inside me


7. CROSS TO BEAR

Hail victim, raise your voice
And curse this mortal chain
Lay down your tired albatross
Let Heaven hear your strain
This unrelenting plague unbound
Your agonizing toll
Like God himself in parallel
Delusion takes you hold

Recoil
I see you writhe in distress
Hell on earth
No one ever stood for pain like this

Sing to me your plight unjust
Define it for the rest of us
No river of your tears, no sympathy will find you here
Not one of you bastards has a cross to bear
Not one of you bastards has a cross to bear

You clench your fist unto the sky
To sound your troubled mind
Unto the throne of sorrow’s scribe
Of sacrifice divine

Recoil
I see you writhe in distress
Hell on earth
No one ever stood for pain like this

Sing to me your plight unjust
Define it for the rest of us
No river of your tears, no sympathy will find you here
Not one of you bastards has a cross to bear
Not one of you bastards has a cross to bear

Bite your tongue
Bleed unsung
(x2)

Sing to me your plight unjust
Define it for the rest of us
No river of your tears, no sympathy will find you here
Not one of you bastards has a cross to bear
Not one of you bastards has a cross to bear
(x2)


8. HELL DON'T NEED ME

I don’t wanna close my eyes
I can’t tell if I’m asleep or if I’m blind

We’re going nowhere
No one seems to care

I could sell a peace of mind
I could tell you every time that I divide

The water will decide
Where to feed me
Mother don’t you cry
Hell don’t need me

I will see it all in time
I can’t be the only one across that line

We’re going nowhere
No one seems to care

[Chorus]

Don’t need me (4x)

[Chorus] (x2)


9. IN TIME

When the calling comes for the rest of us
Let me help you decide
But there is not much sympathy left to give
For the deserted mind
I have the same fear tearing the plot in two
I know it’s not your fight… right?
But the weight of it is breaking upon my back
So I can see that it’s not without my life

Am I the last one?
Are we a dying breed?
Anyone outside?
I fear tomorrow will eclipse today

In time
We will erase it all
In time
We are the fault of our own fall

So if you see it all, you take it to the ends
And let it sound throughout your bones
In this trust they will not relent their rope
But the faithful are not alone

Am I the last one?
Are we a dying breed?
Anyone outside?
I fear tomorrow will eclipse today

In time
We will erase it all
In time
We are the fault of our own fall

Don’t let them tear it from your hands

In time
We will erase it all
In time
We are the fault of our own fall


10. BEYOND ME

Where does your allegiance lie?
In failing hearts and idle hands
What corrupted eyes
To heed the certainty of man
You fail me
I never was my final word
I could never be
The only voice I heard

Trust in the powerless
The ever knowing inside
See no deliverance
Leave all conviction behind
The darkest of hearts they cease to bleed

(and) Never deny for the self to lead
You'll find in this a lonely home
No tear consoled
To wander on a nameless road
Beyond me

Compromise all time unseen
For this, your momentary lust
Pride deafening
Unsung hymns gather rust
No corruption, delusion, enslavement here
Driven not by fear
Not converted to…

[Pre-Chorus]

[Chorus]

I see an aimless soul
In the ruthless cold
Fighting off the call
Dying to be whole
I see an aimless soul
In the ruthless cold
Fighting off the call
Giving in to the fall

You'll find in this a lonely home
No tear consoled
To wander on a nameless road
Beyond me
(x2)


11. GASOLINE

I thought about you
I thought about the ones that I forget
Oh please forgive me
I hope that I've not pushed you to the edge

Let me wash away the painful words I wrote
We can smother out the flames within my soul
No more standing by the way that I believe
We can smother out the flames

With gasoline

You break around me
You say that I should give my heart a rest

[Pre-chorus]

[Chorus]

We’ll watch these flames
Like a tower of dissent, choking out regret
Devouring light
An image of my soul, out of our control

[Pre-chorus]

[Chorus]


12. THE HEART OF A GRAVEYARD

Everything in time
Set your eyes upon the shallow surface
Hollow out your mind
How divine, you disengage your self

Tell me
Tell me of your consolation
Tell me
I am lost in the gray
Tell me that your final home is not a…
A shot in the dark
Tell me that your hopes and dreams don’t end in the heart

Of a graveyard

Set aside your soul
Let tomorrow realize itself

[Pre-chorus]

[Chorus]

Brace for the ending
You may not see
Will you stop descending
Six shallow feet

[Pre-chorus]

[Chorus]


BONUSTRACKS

13. WASTE ME

This is not for the undecided
For the other side
We made our bed in the lion’s den
No place to hide
Rejected, refused
We were born to lose

Or were we born for a higher call
Those scattered few
(x2)

Sing

I made my vow and I swear
Take it to my grave
My grave
Will not regret to say
Before I fall away
Waste me
(x2)

We are not for the fate of this world
Disillusioned, damned
May not maintain our foothold
But know where we stand

We were born for a higher call
Those scattered few

Sing

[Chorus]

[Chorus]

This is not for the undecided
For the other side


14. HELPLESS HOPE

Now the soil takes your breath
Nothing left
Just bones and empty roads
And a want for something more
Open door
But careful not to ask

And holding fast

Now sorrow burns around you
Anger, fear and death surround you
So afraid
Helpless
Where is the void you're after?
Emptiness, the final chapter
So afraid
Helpless hope

To the hollow hands of fate
No escape
No panic, no reprieve
And the faith it was too blind
Too unkind
But faithful in the wholeness of

The hole itself

[Chorus]

Let go
Follow

[Chorus] (x2)
