1. GUIDANCE FROM THE PAIN

Guidance from the pain
Views of all terrain
You can’t conceal the shit that spills out of your brain
I emerge from the dark
I’m not here to take part
Karma has arrived to rip out your fucking heart

Serpent, you’ve got hell to pay
Vermin, you’ve got hell to pay
Hell to pay

The truth will bind you in chains
I’ll watch it drive you insane
The secrets that you keep
Will haunt you in your sleep
You were one of the few
We used to trust you
You were one of the few
We used to trust you

Cover the truth in shroud
Lies rain down like a black cloud
You’re just another traitor
Live your life as a failure

Snake
I know the price you have to pay
This is karma, and payback’s a fuckin’ bitch


2. PAIN IS POWER

I drink in misery and spit it back in your face
I breathe in suffering and exhale mace

Emerge from the fire, undevoured
I am the storm from which you cower
Pain is power
Pain is pure
Pain is power

[Verse 1]
I've been stranded in the rain, neck-deep in muck
My skin blistered by the blaze, beaten into dust
Existence is suffering
I’ve gone to war with a chainsaw and broken its teeth
I’ve given up my life, broken body and dreams

Emerge from the fire, undevoured
I am the storm from which you cower
Pain is power, pain is power
Pain is pure
Pain is power

Outsider, Pariah
Become my fucking armor
Throw your stones at me
My bones will not break
So step up and try it
Or stand back, stay quiet
It’s never getting better
This hurt will last forever

Emerge from the fire, undevoured
I am the storm from which you cower
Pain is power

So keep fucking staring
I am the beast you made me
It’s never getting better
This hurt will last forever


3. FINAL CATACLYSM

One decade now
Living under the halogen glow
Servant to the clock
Commuting in the shadow

Feeding on the filth
That vomits from the screen
Why is it so hard to wake
And so hard to sleep

A black spot marks on the horizon
It’s been growing all week
The dogs are barking
As we walk staring at our feet

Can’t see the forest through the trees

Year after year
Climbing over bodies to the top of the pile
In the hunt for power
Beg and lie, scrape and smile
Bite the dirt
As the rug slips from beneath your feet
Pathetic
Karmic justice in a flash of heat

Commander in chief of the doomed
Master of nothing

The collision came without warning
No one could believe it at first
The sirens rang
As a shadow appeared over the earth

Our final cataclysm

This earth is dust in the void
A pale blue dot
A nail waiting for the hammer to drop

A neck on the chopping block

The inferno levels the forest
The oceans turn to haze
The pressure levels the mountains
Mark the end of days

The inferno levels the forest
The oceans turn to haze
Casualties in the thousands
Mark the end of days


4. NO PEACE AT THE FEET OF YOUR MASTER

Smash the masters
Become a martyr
Tear down the structure

Smash the masters
Become a martyr
Tear down the structure

Look at what we’ve made
A monument built upon our bodies
An idol supported by our spines
Take pride from a distance
You’ll never be welcome inside

I know where you sleep
I know what company you keep
I'll send the river of blood down the mountain

I know your deadeye stare
I know the disguise you wear
Hell has taken you in
Hell has taken you in

Smash the masters
Become a martyr
Tear down the structure

Follow darkness into the abyss
Pile the bodies in a shallow pit
The end is coming faster
No peace at the feet of your master

I know where you sleep
I know what company you keep
I'll send the river of blood down the mountain

I know your deadeye stare
I know the disguise you wear
Hell has taken you in
Hell has taken you in

Im all alone, I’m a slave to a bitter memory
I can’t close my eyes
I see faces in the fucking dark

When the hands no longer bleed
I will bring you down to your knees

Carried on our backs too long
Suffocate, under the swarm


5. THE HOUSE YOU BUILT IS BURNING

Woke up in this hell
Tried to turn it into a home
Never been so aware
Never been so alone

The roles have been reversed
Our lives have been displaced
The bond of father and son
Falling out of place

Tell me why I should even try
Talking to a wall of brick
You'll never snap out of it

Everyone is leaving you, and I will do the same

Seeking, searching
The wheels of time are turning
Inferno, growing

The house you built is burning
The house you built is burning

Burn

Everyone is leaving you
And I will do the same


6. MACHINE OF WAR

Three years, could be three days
No sleep builds a haze
Can’t close my eyes, they’re coming for me
Firing down through the trees

So help me god, you swore
Fed as flesh into the machine of war

The foundation of life
Given no reprise
Is sucked up and devoured
By this strength and demise

Are you tired? Are you breaking?
You will soldier on
Forget what happens when you get home

Can handle anything
But can’t handle anyone

So slowly bury the truth
Under the pile you dug
While you construct your trench
When you're stuck in the mud

So help me god, you swore
Fed as flesh into the machine of war

Standing in line, laying in dirt
Awake for days desperate to stay alert

I am tired, I am breaking

Are you tired? Are you breaking?
You will soldier on
Forget what happens when you get home
Are you anxious? Don't start shaking
You will soldier on
Forget what happens when you get home

Frightened in the corner
Throw yourself in the fire
You’re not the only one

Stare down the barrel of your gun
Can handle anything
But can’t handle anyone


7. A CRIMSON PAINTING

A crimson painting, sketched on concrete
Glass and tangled metal scatter the street
You don’t see me anymore
I’m just a pile of bones and meat

Was it worth it?
Did I really need to know?
Just a second, it was just a second

Needless conversation
Immediate gratification
To scratch the itch, to scratch the itch

Dark eyes staring from the back of your phone
I never knew a gaze that made me feel so alone

You make me feel so alone

Indifferent puppets with rubber necks
Step on the brakes, look over the precipice
Take a piece of me away from here
Just another story for your therapist

I'm paying the price
This is my sacrifice
The world around me is getting sicker
If you want me to last, take a fucking picture


8. SINKING INTO THE FLOOR

Death crawls up the walls
Silence takes over the floor
Out of borrowed time
Buried in this room alive
Can you see it now?
Can you carry the crown?
I’m dying here alone
Would you even know?

Would you even care?
What the fuck would you do?

Lock me in the room
Turn your back
Let me sink into the walls
Leave me behind

Are you prepared for what’s inside?
Will my ghost destroy your paradise?
I know I’ll haunt you forever

My death gives life
Life to anything that passes by
I've weathered many seasons
Waiting to cross your mind

And if you ever come back
You’ll know where I'll be
But you never know what you’ll find
I've been here for a while now
Sinking into the floor
You wouldn’t recognize me anymore

Death crawls up the walls
Silence takes over the floor
Out of borrowed time
Buried in this room alive
Can you see it now?
Can you carry the crown?
I’ve died in here alone
Unknown, I decompose

Cross the threshold
Ready your soul
Breathe in my mould


9. BLISTER OF THE PLAGUE

Children of desire Blister of the plague
We've been warned too many times
You've got no fucking shame

Everything expires
Falls apart and withers away
You all fueled the fire
We’ve made our bed of flames

You had your chance and you blew it
Couldn’t shut up and bite the bullet
Enjoy your grave No one is safe
When everything burns You’ll burn together

The days are getting longer
The nights are getting cold

The sea begins to boil

Following a siren song
They only want the lie
If only you knew you were dead wrong
Is this how you want to die?

Hopeless, just put them down

Lay waste to your world
Nothing I say is heard
I hope you like the taste of ashes
Bring the walls down on the heads of the fascists

The days are getting longer
The nights are getting cold

The sea begins to boil

Following a siren song They only want the lie
If only you knew you were dead wrong
Is this how you want to die
I’m breaking my silence
It’s time to bury the tyrants
If only you knew you were dead wrong
Is this how you want to die?

Children of desire Blister of the plague
We've been warned too many times
You've got no fucking shame

Everything expires
Falls apart and withers away
You all fueled the fire
We’ve made our bed of flames


10. DIE BY THE FIRE

Can you hear the calling
Can you feel the end
Can you sense the fear
This is the house of death
Can you hear the pain
Can you feel the sorrow
Can you sense the plague
This is the house of death

Mothers crying
Fathers lying
Killing children, unholy sacrificing
On the altar of gluttony
How much more do you have to feed
To satisfy your greed

Choosing to see what you want to believe
I know the guilt will burn your skin
You turned your back on me
A thousand times
I hope you struggle to sleep
I hope you struggle to breathe

Die by the fire
Die by desire
Die by the hand of shame

The higher the tower, the thicker the smog
You knew, you did nothing

Can you hear the calling
Can you feel the end
Can you sense the fear
This is the house of death
Can you hear the pain
Can you feel the sorrow
Can you sense the plague
This is the house of death

Die by the fire
Die by desire
Die by the hand of shame

Profiteers of damnation
Complicit in our exploitation
Your justifications are bullshit
You knew, you did nothing
