Lyrics


1. UNDER THE WAVES

Drown what's inside
Let it divide
I am done with all of this
Truth in the tides
Too many times
Grey waters obscure the pain

Say what you want
Say what you'd like

Here is where I
Open my eyes
Pantomiming emotions
I left behind
To look alive
But you'll find me
Under the Waves

Burdens of Bliss
Lead to distress
I am one with nothingness.
Truth in the tides
Too many times
Grey waters obscure the pain

Say what you want
Say what you'd like

Here is where I
Open my eyes
Pantomiming emotions
I left behind
To look alive
But you'll find me
Under the Waves

Oceans never ending
Bleak and unforgiving
With a taste for blood that's
Rising to the surface

Here is where I
Open my eyes
Pantomiming emotions
I left behind and
This is why
My heart lies in the
Abyss


2. GRAVE NEW WORLD

Breathe in the dust
The ruin from our lust
As colours dim to a
New shade of pain
Another dollar for
This big machine
Forget the things that
You could have been

New world
Old rules
But the
Game is the same
New world
Old rules
So just
Sit back and

Watch it all burn
And fall down
But we carry on
Watch it all burn
And fall down
Now we're carrion

Lost in the dirge of
Perpetual decay
It doesn't matter
What side you're on
Another dollar for
This big machine
Forget the things that
You could have been

New world
Old rules
But the
Game is the same
New world
Old rules
So just
Sit back and

Watch it all burn
And fall down
But we carry on
Watch it all burn
And fall down
Now we're carrion
Watch it all burn
And fall down
But we carry on


3. DEAD MAN'S SHOW

I will refrain
To save the pain
For when I see that there's
Nothing to gain

Reminders cutting deep
It's a dead man's show
All hope is out of reach
And it's time to go
Depart without delay
As it fades away
For darkness to embrace
And take me home

I stay away
Where others play
I've learned that I'm not meant
For greater things

In this house of glass
You all are just

Reminders cutting deep
It's a dead man's show
All hope is out of reach
And it's time to go
Depart without delay
As it fades away
For darkness to embrace
And take me home


4. DAMNED BY DESIGN

The Old One
I see your mask
Your mouth moves behind
Decaying flesh
And here I'm trapped
Somewhere within
Purgatory or
The astral place

Shedding skin
It begins

I hear the Devil in this monologue
I see the devil in this demagogue

Right (right) before my eyes
Like the others I'm
Damned by design
Rise (rise) and bring the light
Seduce the rest before
The sacrifice

Oh Cold One
They will submit
Your words incite these
Degenerates
And here I'm trapped
Fodder for this
Primodial
Wickeness

Shedding skin
It begins

I hear the Devil in this monologue
I see the devil in this demagogue

Right (right) before my eyes
Like the others I'm
Damned by design
Rise (rise) and bring the light
Seduce the rest before
The sacrifice

A vessel for
His majesty
Of steel and circuitry
This Lucifer machine

Shedding skin
It begins

I hear the Devil in this monologue
I see the devil in this demagogue

Right (right) before my eyes
Like the others I'm
Damned by design
Rise (rise) and bring the light
Seduce the rest before
The sacrifice
