1. LANDSCAPE OF THORNS

(Instrumental)


2. ATOMIC REVELATIONS

Baptizer Christen the unknown
This wretched hellfire disintegrates bone
Paint this world in ash and stone
Life's destruction we enthrone
A warning for the ages speak the atomic prayer
The ritual of sages a church of our despair
Worship at the altar or the human race will fall
Incapable disposal this nuclear atoll

Carnage unimaginable
The ravages of greed and waste
Cult of the fanatical
A warning for a future age

Atomic revelations
These cryptic devastations
Showered in radiation
Our future's dark creation

Divisor The scourge of earth's decay
The bastards from the past were born to betray
Atomic priesthood warns the doomed
Defy these rites and be consumed
A nuclear reaction atoms collide and clash
Hereafter falls to ashes all life gone in a flash
Manufactured holocaust of nuclear design
When death becomes the future, humanity benign

Carnage unimaginable
The ravages of greed and waste
Cult of the fanatical
A warning for a future age

Atomic revelations
These cryptic devastations
Showered in radiation
Our future's dark creation

Worship it - worship it
Follow it - follow it
Pray to be prepared
Worship it - worship it
Follow it - follow it
Pray to be prepared

Atomic revelations
These cryptic devastations
Showered in radiation
Our future's dark creation


3. UNBOUND

Unbound unbreakable
You’ll never tear us down
Never you’ll wear the crown

Blackout running in the shadows
Walking the streets addictions taking their toll
Knocked out crawling on my elbows
These broken fingers pull me out of this hole

Wading through the endless slaughter 
Standing tall we never falter 
Bloody but unbroken martyr fearless and bold
Never let them take the power 
Fought through every darkest hour 
Purge away the weakness never cower or fold

Mirrors and white lies
The vessels of our pride
Never forget we will never forgive
Never forget we will never forgive

Unbound unbreakable
You’ll never tear us down
Never you’ll wear the crown
Unbound unstoppable
Unrivaled power we are 
Unbound unbound

My roots underground and deeper 
Crawled from the gutter breaking chains 
Black boots running from the reaper
Dodge his sickle with one foot in the grave

Sick of all the compromising
Bullshit also agonizing
Temperature is rising as I’m clenching my fist
Stop with all the plagiarizing 
We are fire cauterizing 
Not apologizing ‘til the top of the list

Mirrors and white lies
The vessels of our pride
Never forget we will never forgive
Never forget we will never forgive

Unbound unbreakable
You’ll never tear us down
Never you’ll wear the crown
Unbound unstoppable
Unrivaled power we are unbound unbound

I hear the tolling of the bell again
Clarion call for the decadent
Our majesty infernal
The alchemy nocturnal
Legacy will live eternal

Unbound unbreakable
You’ll never tear us down
Never you’ll wear the crown
Unbound unstoppable
Unrivaled power we are unbound unbound

Unbound unbound
Unbound unbound
Unbound unbound 
Unbound unbound 


4. OUTSIDER

I'll keep standing on the outside
You made your bed and now the walls are closing in
You sold your soul and now you want mine
Tragic disaster and it's all so sickening
Here on the outside looking in

Let the new era begin
The dawn of the deadliest sin
To sever the ties of our kin
Cutting you off at the limb
Amputated just to feel whole again

Frozen your soul
Darker than coal

All the lying, all the cheating
All you left me was defeated
There could never be forgiveness in the end

So I'll keep standing on the outside
You made your bed and now the walls are closing in
You sold your soul and now you want mine
Tragic disaster and it's all so sickening
Here on the outside looking in

These are the words of a fool
Guzzling hatred as fuel
A heart you left broken in two
Over and over again
The cycle repeats like a funeral hymn

Deep in my bones
Harder than stone

All the money, all the power
Fame and fortune left devoured
Only now you want to try and make amends

So I'll keep standing on the outside
You made your bed and now the walls are closing in
You sold your soul and now you want mine
Tragic disaster and it's all so sickening

Hope you remember how you hung me out to dry
You might deny it but you're burning up inside
So I'll keep standing on the outside
Tragic disaster and it's also sickening
Here on the outside looking in

It's all so sickening
It's all so sickening
Sickening me to the core
Sickening me to the core
Sickening me to the core
Sickening me to the core

So I'll keep standing on the outside
You made your bed and now the walls are closing in
You sold your soul and now you want mine
Tragic disaster and it's all so sickening

So I'll keep standing on the outside
You made your bed and now the walls are closing in
You sold your soul and now you want mine
Tragic disaster and it's all so sickening

Here on the outside looking in
Here on the outside looking in

Here on the outside looking in
Here on the outside looking in


5. NOT LONG FOR THIS WORLD

Through the struggles life hurls
Behold the heavens unfurl
Not long for this world

My tomb of alabaster
These wounds have festered into sores
Confess to lord and master
Blessed oh sweet love my labour

Helpless and free
A kingdom beckoning me

Through the struggles life hurls
Behold the heavens unfurl
Not long for this world

Sing now for lonely bastards
Blue rain upon my plastic soul
Demons that cause disaster
Some sins I never will atone

Helpless and free
A kingdom beckoning me

Behold the gods of every black eternity
The petals fall from roses on your effigy
And tears are all that's left a burning memory
We go to the light - relinquish the fight
Death take my hand far from this misery

Through the struggles life hurls
Behold the heavens unfurl
Not long for this world

Through the struggles life hurls
Behold the heavens unfurl
Not long for this
Not long for this
Not long for this world


6. THESE SCARS WON'T DEFINE US

One life is all that you
One life is all that you get

A dread comes over me in moments of my weakness
It suffocates me as I contemplate the bleakness

Head to the grindstone power forward through the endless dark
Focus determination on this world I'll leave a mark
It took so long for any confidence to get in here
And now the question that I need to know I cannot hear

I can't give you the proof
But music is the truth

One life these scars they won't define us
One chance to strengthen ties that bind us
One love to show the world meaning
Remember before you forget
One life is all that you get

The time has come for me to let go of my grudges
Power and strength will come to clear the path before us

Quiet the voices in my head sometimes they never stop
Dig for my confidence keep going till I fucking drop
Don't waste a moment every second precious seize the day
No time to rest on laurels sleep will come when in the grave

I can't give you the proof
But music is the truth

One life these scars they won't define us
One chance to strengthen ties that bind us
One love to show the world meaning
Remember before you forget
One life is all that you get

Don't let them bury the hope
The wicked won't reap what they sow
The cynics they need to see light
So stand up and show them what's right

One life these scars they won't define us
One chance to strengthen ties that bind us
One love to show the world meaning
Remember before you forget
One life is all that you get


7. DUSTMAKER

As I lay here and recall years of wavering emotions
Suppressed desires and volcanic explosions that retreat into dormancy
I wonder could we ever flow together
Or are we two twin souls finding each other in the wrong lifetime?


8. BONESCRAPER

Gold this house of gold is crumbling
Bones we scrape our bones to numb the pain
Love is just a loaded gun

Compromise will get you nowhere
Arguments and pointless warfare
The price of love is the price of heartache
Your tongue a knife pointing every mistake

Angels and devils cry
Tears across the bridge of sighs

These demons, addictions
Chaos we've sewn

Gold this house of gold is crumbling
Bones we scrape our bones to numb the pain
Surgical scalpels hone and scrape skin from bone
Scraping skin from bone - love is just a loaded gun

Bridges burning in the wake of madness
You left me yearning with the taste of sadness
Bury me down in a bed of clover
Just leave me be, this is done, it’s over

The ghost that you've become
Shadows of a love undone

These demons, addictions
Chaos we've sewn

Gold this house of gold is crumbling
Bones we scrape our bones to numb the pain
Surgical scalpels hone and scrape skin from bone
Scraping skin from bone - love is just a loaded gun

When you try to put me down
You left me broken on the ground
I know that I'm the one to blame
Always cast your guilt and shame

A million cuts of malice
The cruelty is the point
She drinks the devil’s chalice
His love you do anoint
A eulogy and elegy for death’s repose
Scraping our bones

Gold this house of gold is crumbling
Bones we scrape our bones to numb the pain
Gold this house of gold is crumbling
Bones we scrape our bones to numb the pain
Surgical scalpels hone and scrape skin from bone
Scraping skin from bone - love is just a loaded gun


9. ADDICTED TO PAIN

Through the looking glass of fame

We'll never know what could've been
Cravings pulled you deep within
Thrown into the hit machine
Feed the beast start the routine

You gave it all just to chase this flame
The dotted line, a puppet in the game now
Twisted and cheating the fame we chase is bleating
Turned against brother for acclaim that is fleeting

Over and over the cycle won't end
The melody weeping its funeral hymn
And over and over addicted to pain
Through - through the looking glass of fame

I look around at what I have
Clawed and clutched what I could grab
Normalcy it fades away
Bending backward to obey

Build us up sacrifice it all
Tear it apart the inevitable downfall
You want to see this broken and defeated
A childhood dream now fed to the machine

Over and over the cycle won't end
The melody weeping its funeral hymn
And over and over addicted to pain
Through - through the looking glass of fame

Lines off of broken mirrors
Reflecting craven fears
A clown to entertain
A jester for their gain

Loathe you - I hate you
Despise you - you think you made me
I'll crush you - I'll break you
Erase you - you're fucking dead to me

Loathe you - I hate you
Despise you - you think you made me
I'll crush you - I'll break you
Erase you - you're fucking dead to me

Loathe you - I hate you
Despise you - you think you made me
I'll crush you - I'll break you
Erase you - you're fucking dead to me

Over and over the cycle won't end
The melody weeping its funeral hymn
And over and over addicted to pain
Through - through the looking glass of fame

Lines off of broken mirrors
Reflecting craven fears
A clown to entertain
A jester for their gain


10. BLEEDING ME DRY

There's something I need to confess
Now that we're out of this mess
Your love suffocated my soul
I'm sorry that I was so
Blindly devoted you swallowed me whole
And all of this tension was taking its toll
The whiskey and wine that we drank till we're blind
The farther and farther we're lost in the sands of time

I lose you win
We're both losing
When I'm with you
You leave me swallowed

Whole - from the mountains to the sea
Nothing here belongs to me
Whole - see the end but cannot speak
Rotten tongue and broken teeth
I'm always wrong but when I'm right
It doesn't come without a fight
You're bleeding me

Dry - you - bleed - me - dry
You're bleeding me
Dry - you - bleed - me - dry

There's no pain without living life
This liquor helps cope with the strife
We talked of you being my wife
Picket fences some kids and two bikes
But all that was a fantasy lost in our haze
Through all of the weed smoke and piles of cocaine
A pharmacy of Vicodin Percs refillers
You and I were worst friend's best painkillers

I guess it's true
I don't love you
If I don't go
You'll leave me swallowed

Whole - from the mountains to the sea
Nothing here belongs to me
Whole - see the end but cannot speak
Rotten tongue and broken teeth
I'm always wrong but when I'm right
It doesn't come without a fight
You're bleeding me dry

'Cause anywhere was better than here
Now your demons hold you dear

Never lookin' back - never lookin' back
A second-class citizen the straw that broke my fuckin' back
Never lookin' back - never lookin' back
I'll keep taking punches until my eyes are turned to black

Whole - from the mountains to the sea
Nothing here belongs to me
Whole - see the end but cannot speak
Rotten tongue and broken teeth
I'm always wrong but when I'm right
It doesn't come without a fight
You're fucking bleeding me

Dry - you - bleed - me - dry
You're fucking bleeding me
Dry - you - bleed - me - dry


11. SHARDS OF SHATTERED DREAMS

Dead of winter thunder cracks the sky
A deafening roar from the oncoming storm
Lightning rips the heavens open wide
New fates are forged changing forevermore

Black clouds await bleak futures
Scars tearing at their sutures

Windows they start to crack spiders along the glass
The sun fading drown the world in gray

It's raining shards of shattered dreams
This love divine ruins everything
Left to pick up the pieces of my dejected heart
I'm breaking and I'm ripping at the seams
These shards of shattered dreams

We have nowhere else that we can go
Cast into the gale shredded by its hail
Her furies power cuts and binds
Winds of a splintered kind echoes of pain confined

Skies shine with stars of David
Glass ceilings on the hated

Storms of a different cloud lords of a different shroud
Oh heaven wash the pain away

It's raining shards of shattered dreams
This love divine ruins everything
Left to pick up the pieces of my dejected heart
I'm breaking and I'm ripping at the seams
These shards of shattered dreams

A thousand cuts of pain
A million drops of rain
And all these shattered dreams

A thousand cuts of pain
A million drops of rain
And all these shattered dreams lay broken
A thousand cuts of pain
A million drops of rain
And all these shattered dreams lay broken

Dark skies so callous
Glass shards of malice

It's raining shards of shattered dreams
This love divine ruins everything
Left to pick up the pieces of my dejected heart
I'm breaking and I'm ripping at the seams
These shards of shattered dreams
These shards of shattered dreams


12. SCORN

Paranoia seeps through every pore
Envenomated eyes emit their scorn

I'm putting you under my spell
'Cause I've got a Bible to sell
Let go your convictions restrictions will cost you
Your fiction and all that is well
Distrust all the fable they sell
I look to the sky as it won't be the first
And it won't be the worst
'Cause there's still yet to come
With a nation undone by their

Scorn - paranoia seeps through every pore
Scorn - envenomated eyes emit their scorn

The eye in the sky never rests
Watching to form our arrest
They're chasing us out of our nests
Keeping tabs as they play us like masters of chess
'Cause I'm falling apart on my own
I look to the sky as they give us new rifles
To stifle our words aith a Bible and bulletproof vests
As we suffer their

Scorn - paranoia seeps through every pore
Scorn - envenomated eyes emit their scorn

Scorn - paranoia seeps through every pore
Scorn - envenomated eyes emit their scorn

The wings of an angel the heart of a king
The strength of a lion the power I bring
I've lost faith in everyone follow no more
My heroes have failed me they look down on me with their

Scorn - paranoia seeps through every pore
Scorn - envenomated eyes emit their scorn

These eyes emit their scorn

These eyes emit their scorn
These eyes emit their scorn
These eyes emit their scorn
These eyes emit their scorn
These eyes emit their

Scorn - paranoia seeps through every pore
Scorn
