1. FAR DOWN BELOW

You think you're safe and sound
Cause you don't fear what you don't see
It's time to come off your cloud
And suffer through the agony

You are erased from all you know
Come take your place far down below

We are contaminated
Our hearts will rot, our blood will boil
Our innocence is wasted
All that was good in time will spoil


2. DARK GIFT

Eyes so dark, skin has turned pale
She's spending her first night in hell
This dark gift haunts forever more
The blood in my veins made her hungry for more

She drinks blood like wine
With that kiss goodbye
To kill daylight
To crave the night

Begin to taste her infinity
With a kiss that would claim such divinity
The dark of night hides you like a shroud
A whisper from you seems so loud


3. PRAY FOR ME

The punishment for my blasphemy
To suffer for an eternity
Why should this mean a thing to me
With all this anguish and misery

Though I try to self medicate
A pill for love and a pill for hate
There's just so much that someone can take
To help forget how I've sealed my fate

When the time has come for me to burn
I guess I'll get what I deserve
When the rising flames are all I see
Will it be too late to pray for me?

So why not change? someone may ask
My innocence was left in the past
The consequence doesn't bring me fear
If there's a hell than I'm already there

When the time has come for me to burn
I guess I'll get what I deserve
When the rising flames are all I see
Will it be too late to pray for me?

There might be truth to what I say
But that I'll save for another day
For now I'll start a slow and steady burn
You know I'm gonna get what I deserve


4. SHE COMES OUT AT NIGHT

Her fingernails are painted black
Blood roses tattooed on her back
Her midnight eyes are filled with sin
I'm coming out so let me in

She comes out at night
To find what she needs
On my flesh tonight
Is where she will feed

She is the devil in my soul
She is my fire when I'm cold
Into the dark she hunts you down
And leaves her mark when you are found

She comes out at night
To find what she needs
On my flesh tonight
Is where she will feed

She comes out at night
Ready to please
On my flesh tonight
Is where she will feed


5. INTOXICATE

I raise my glass to hide the truth
When facing up's too hard to do
I think too hard and hold my breath
I drink with every little death

I try to numb myself to what is real
With every drop I take the less I can feel
All hope is gone, there is no second chance
I saw the light in a fleeting glance

Down the hole
Let this wine intoxicate my dying soul
Chase this misery away

This bottle never seems to end
So I will drown myself again
Why wallow in your own defeat
The taste of therapy is sweet


6. MR. HYDE

I cannot speak
Thoughts are empty or I'm biting on my tongue
How can this be?
Such a disgrace the way things have become

There's someone else inside
Clawing through me
Begging just to stay alive

You're like an alibi
I need you to cover up these lies

It's time to pull my strings again
And let the show begin
I play a man who's acting sane
In this theater of pain
It's like a double life I lead
Which monster will I feed?
Who's gonna show his face tonight
Dr. Jekyll or Mr. Hyde?

I cannot speak
Staying silent with my eyes fixed on the floor
My words are weak how you hear them
But I'm really saying more

I'm someone else sometimes
You can't see me behind someone else's eyes
I've built my wall so high
That it would kill you to fall to the other side


7. GOOD DAY TO DIE

Welcome to your affliction
Succumb to your addiction
You know that fact and fiction
Is just a contradiction

Like a murder suicide
It's killing you and I
And I'm screaming inside
That it's a good day to die

Too scared to ever mention
Exactly your intention
It wasn't your decision
To make your pain religion

Like a murder suicide
It's killing you and I
And I'm screaming inside
That it's a good day to die


8. MONSTER

It's always dragging me down
I hear the silence of sound
I am the last of my kind
Digging these graves in my mind

All that I want is already taken
These feelings haunt, let the monster awaken
Rip me to pieces and come with a vengeance
The torture you give is all that I feel

Altar in the cemetary
When it is death I must carry
Together we will unite
The cold embrace of the night


9. SUFFOCATE

Why should I beg for Mercy
If in time death will find me
I am patiently waiting
Slowly I'm suffocating

There's only 6 feet to fall on the way down
My heart may still beat but I'm barely alive
My Maker I'll meet and confess all my sins
So someone can see what it really was like

Maybe I didn't mention
These thoughts were born from dementia
There's only one true confession
I live to feed my obsession


10. EMPTY SKIES

You breathe, Alive
But dead inside
You bleed until dry
Still you won't die
You hate the lies
But truth still hides
See through they eyes that you despise

With empty skies above
What are we all made of?

No colors inside
They all turned to black
You gave away your life and don't want it back

You scream, Afraid
Your dreams will fade
Can't fall asleep in the bed you've made
You fill the deep inside your grave
You're just like me
You can't be saved


11. MORPHINE

I'm a flawed design as far as I can tell
I am weakened by the frailty of my shell
To give me faith is just the coldest lie
Must I tolerate this all the time?

Salvation can't come too fast
But it never lasts
Breaking down from all the things
That my sickness brings
I have tried but nothing helps
And I can't heal myself
Disconnect me so I can become someone else

I feel like I am paralyzed
Morphine in this case would be nice
It fails me time and time again
Counting my days until the end

Anaesthesia make me numb
When the time has come
Take me somewhere far from here
Help me disappear
I have tried but nothing helps
And I can't heal myself
Disconnect me so I can become someone else


12. HELL'S GATES

We ran out of love, hearts filled with hate
Reach for the devil's hand cause it's too late

Come with me as you prepare to die
He says to me with fire in his eyes
That burning stare has scorched more than just skin
Hell's gates have opened up to let me in

With embers glowing, we sleep in ash
This place keeps growing with darkened pasts


13. SKIN AND BONE

Crawling on the ground
When I'm beaten down
The hand that gives life
Keeps twisting the knife

I can't make a sound
Even when I scream
There's no one around
In this fucked up dream

I'm scared not to wake
From this eternal sleep
If I don't I'll break
And fall into the deep

It's come down to this
Ignorance is bliss
What was skin and bone
Has now turned to stone
