1. INTRO

(Instrumental)


2. A BREATH BENEATH

I fell so low on the long way home
Sinking ever steadily waiting for this heart to stop in between where
We die far from this long goodbye
Emptiness
Where we fall drifting apart
Facing the end with regret
I cannot
I cannot
Shadows weaken starting to stir
A motion in deception begins to blur
I'm focusing on things I can't end
Broken ties and wounds that won't mend
To the city of ghostly statues
And a broad feeling of clamor
I'll step to the edge and push ten long until the words hit just like a hammer
Emptiness
Where we fall drifting apart
Facing the end with regret
I cannot
I cannot
And all that I have ever loved has now turned empty and all that I have
Ever kept, is in this long goodbye
When You fall, I will fall with Heaven in between this breath beneath
When You fall, I will fall with Heaven in between this breath beneath
I bid farewell to this year long wrapped in wings To the shameless, to
The faceless, You will forever remain... nameless


3. NECROPOLIS

To ashes We fall
Paralyzed and demoralized
From unhallowed voices upon the wind
Breathing in Our damnation
Unleashing the hordes to immolate
And the darkened angels to decimate
The burning within Our chests
All Our futures laid to rest
Necropolis
These hearts of decay
A crown, buried on the heads of the damning Necropolis these hearts of
Decay a crown, buried on the heads of the damning
The shadows frenzy around the weak
A light from the blur is dimming bleak
Where We face our battles won
Wings to ride in the blistered sun
Where the voices are drowning
Into a sea of despair
Until They rise above
With bloodied fists in the air
Necropolis
These hearts of decay
A crown, buried on the heads of the damning Necropolis these hearts of
Decay a crown, buried on the heads of the damning
A march upon perdition
While We storm the gates from hell to heaven This march upon perdition
While We storm the gates from hell to heaven
Necropolis
These hearts of decay
A crown, buried on the heads of the damning Necropolis these hearts of
Decay a crown, buried on the heads of the damning


4. FROM YOUR GRAVE

The bitter wind drifts
Through the apparition
A sleep that heavies the neck through the noose a stretch of song and
Deep in this shallow grave burning bitter and bleak from this whimpered
Taste Of Your weakness fallen so low sunken deep and black from this
Broken vow Of Your weakness fallen so low sunken deep and black from
This broken vow
ARISE
From your grave
Arise
Where the black rains are falling upon
The everlasting to all of Our losses
Calling from the dead of night
Hollow from the breath of My prayers now lost
Burning fevers
In the shadows and in the embrace
Where They stagger, where They fall, and where They lay where the
Rains, won't wash away Because as I burn what I feel as I sink into the
Killing fields the prevail is running You out of time while You wither,
While death walks beside
Arise
From your grave
Arise
Where the black rains are falling upon
The everlasting to all of Our losses
Calling from the dead of night
Hollow from the breath of My prayers now lost
The sweetness holding the salt
To the serpents tongue, seconds before the fall keeping heads above the
Frey and keeping hell one heart beat away
Arise
From your grave
Arise
Arise
Arise
From your grave
Arise
Arise
From your grave


5. HEAVEN ABLAZE

The strength of sadness lifts Our necks from a thin warm line sinking
Dead within the night Where the eucharist will fall in disharmony over
And over again When the darkness creeps it's way back into My mind
Never forgotten
Never forgiven
To the heavens set ablaze
I will call aloud
And to the heavens set ablaze
You will hear me now
You will hear me now
A glance from in between these ghostly mirrors fragments to betray this
True believer it held High this suffering the darkest day of mine Held
Ears fixate on the dimming voice, in the wind
Never forgotten
Never forgiven
To the heavens set ablaze
I will call aloud
And to the heavens set ablaze
You will hear me now
You will hear me now
Never forgotten
Never forgiven
To the heavens set ablaze
I will call aloud
And to the heavens set ablaze
You will
Hear me
You will
Hear me now


6. SUMMONING THE DARKNESS

It's such a loneliness
Stalking here all along
Burning all of Our bridges
Distant from the dimming sun
Slow in the shadows
The demons have crept
And this is where the dark thirst has slept
The reddest of blood
Bled into the
Deepest of grays
Riding upon the restlessness of this soul betrayed
The reddest of blood
Bled into the
Deepest of grays
Riding upon the restlessness of this soul betrayed
Searing into oblivion
We are standing tall
Reaching past the end
Mere seconds before the fall
Unhallowed scars, far beyond
Curve through the stagnant winds
While the black moon light
Burns through this grin
All of these angels
Ever ending up dead
While the darkness crows
Flying over head
The brief moment
Cuts through the regret
Ending sleepless in this moonlit cold sweat
Who will you die for tonight
Who will you search for at first light
It's such a loneliness
Stalking here all along
Burning all of Our bridges
Distant from the dimming sun
Slow in the shadows
The demons have crept
Close upon where Our thirst has slept
Who will you die for tonight
Who will you search for at first light
Unleash hell
Unleash hell
Unleash hell..... Go


7. SHATTERED

(Instrumental)


8. I, DECEIVER

Where
Seduction sleeps
To the smell of your lifelessness
Wrapped in plastic
Your fiction
Bitter sweet.... loss of sleep
Where this day comes, reckoning
Unforgiving
Where these two now go missing
And throw me to greatness
Ghost signals and the taste of the ice
That froze all of their hearts
With the sadness
And betrayal
Where these mourning end as empty handed as I
Its only sinking deeper
The shame now, no healing
Its only sinking deeper
This hollow feeling
So fear
I swear that I will walk on water
If you will forgive me
This one last time
So fear
I swear that I will walk on water
If You will just forgive Me
Bitter sweet
Loss of sleep
Where this day comes reckoning
Unforgiving the departure
Watching your blessing to accept
While I'm watching you sink below
To the flutter of this lonesome angel
Suspended in the silhouette
This faith, my slowest fever
And this hope my great deceiver
Its only sinking deeper
So fear
I swear that I will walk on water
If you will forgive me
This one last time
So fear
I swear that I will walk on water
If you will forgive me
This one last time
I will lay here
In your devastation
For just one more night...
You led us on
You killed your own
Where
Seduction sleeps
To the smell of your lifelessness
To wrap in plastic
Your fiction
Bitter sweet... loss of sleep
Where this day comes, reckoning
Unforgiving
I will lay in your devastation
For just one more night


9. MY RUIN

Their flies,
Circle halos over this emptiness
Where the breathing gets older
And My lips grow colder
When these rains get thinner through the burden
And this buried dream
We must reap what these eyes now see
This is where My heart now dissipates
You disintegrate
I will fill the heavens no more with this never ending wake
While I promise death
To a bled hearts beating
Open arm seething
This monument to the dimming heights
Where the tears and blood are always awry
And for the millions of staggering swine
Who teeter aimless to the open sky
Trudging slowly
Over the dead
Where the days now end
Silent and gray
In a grave to lay
Crumbling hope
And My end of days
Far too tired to burn this bright
When mountains will topple and send Your fears alight
The wonder in this stay
And hells price to pay
My ruin this infatuation
In the endless, I'm so far away
My ruin this infatuation
In the endless, I'm so far away

My ruin this infatuation
In the endless, I'm so far away

Their flies,
Circle halos over this emptiness
Where the breathing gets older
And My lips grow colder
When these rains get thinner through the burden


10. SEVEN DEMONS

The wreckage to plagues we sing of
On the breath of harmony
Submersed, forgotten, and singing in suffering
While I stand behind these shimmering tired eyes
Watching your faithless stride
Deep into hell
Taste... Taste the blood of the angels heart
We have only just begun to fall
In the end when we fall
Consumed by all that we deny
They have gone to the razors thrusting up
And thinking of this failure alight
Stillborn, slit in this nevermore
The flight deeper on this pale horse
They bury their hearts in the opens of remission
While I bury my heart deep in this morning star
Taste... Taste the blood of the angels heart
We have only just begun to fall
In the end when we fall
Consumed by all that we deny
Wading in sin
Corrupted by poisoned minds
And all that you trust would kill in a beat of heart
Don't morn for the child he's destined to wield decay
Salvation is lost when all your dreams fade away
Wading in sin and your poisoned minds
The future set free
While I bleed your blood

Taste... Taste the blood of the angels heart
We have only just begun to fall
In the end when we fall
Consumed by all that we deny
Taste... Taste the blood of the angels heart
We have only just begun to fall
In the end when we fall
Consumed by all that we deny
