1. REMNANTS IN TIME

We bleed, we follow
Slaves to the remnants of time (no tomorrow)
In need of power
Bound by the shackles of time (never borrowed)

What is the cost?
The ultimate price you would pay?
As the wonders unravel before you
For a moment before they decay

In that second before the wheel ends
The twists and turns engraved in your eyes
What rules would you bend?
What flesh would you spend?
For one more day in this life

I took your time away
And you will never find it
When the day is done you'll see (no tomorrow)

Your life is mine to sell
And you can never buy it
When the night is done you'll be (never borrowed)

I was a fool that hoped one day to be wise
When the trade appeared right before my eyes
How could I know?
How could I see?
Look beyond what's in front of me?
When the lies tell this beautiful tale
Of what lies beneath the veil

I swam so far just to drown
Sirens calling all around
Weathered hands to reach the sound
Near the edge my death is found

I swam so far just to drown
Just to drown in shallow waters
And I feel life slowly escapes me
When can I breathe?
When can I breathe?

I took your time away
And you will never find it
When the day is done you'll see (no tomorrow)

Your life is mine to sell
And you can never buy it
When the night is done you'll be (never borrowed)

I took your time away
And you will never find it
When the day is done you'll see...

Your life is mine to sell
And you can never buy it
When the night is done you'll be...


2. IMMACULATE DECEPTION

If you look at the face of evil
Evil will look right back at you

They raise their pitchforks to the sky
Summoning the moon as their guide
Their dragging feet march on the slab
To the beat of an absent snare drum
A vision unseen of bodies dancing in the night
For the beauty in unison cannot be denied

You can nail them to the cross
You can burn them at the stake
But their sins will never be forgiven

Would you trade an arm and a leg for the promise of time?

Memories fade as new thought is created
They kindly move out for the good to take their place
The hope of redemption will never undo your wrongs
Time is unforgiving to those who try to run

For those who see the world as evil, let me tell you this
Even cruel actions have a purpose to fulfill
They'll sing in places you thought no notes were even left
'Cause you see in the end
Music would not live in an evil world

If you look at the face of evil
Evil will look right back!

Would you trade an arm and a leg for the promise of time?

Memories fade as new thought is created
They kindly move out for the good to take their place
The hope of redemption will never undo your wrongs
Time is unforgiving to those who try to run

These hands are unforgiving to those who try to run

These hands are unforgiving to those who try to run


3. RESURRECTION

My body lay frozen in the finest attire
Even with eyes wide shut
I can hear the looks on their faces
Every mourning mask worn with insincerity

These things always bring a few
They come to pay respect to their own shattered dreams
Sorry to disappoint but today is not that day
Your crocodile tears will have to wait it seems

Close your eyes, just a moment
Listen to the frame dissolve into horizon
Pick a side, choose your colors
Wave your flag, keep away from the fences
At last you can hear the sound of your heart beating
For just a moment

Don't you dare, ring that bell
I will claw through the dirt
To all that came, my apologies

This book still has pages left unwritten
A story familiar to those bitten

I will claw through the dirt
To all that came, my apologies
This book still has pages left unwritten

Take these coins off my eyes
I'm not ready to be put down
If only you could hear the screams in my mind
Take these coins off my eyes

The action breaks the rules
We create, we decide
Security's your box
Art is our line

These coins aren't sewn to my eyes
Take these coins off my eyes

Forget all you thought you knew
You won't put us down!
Scratch our names off your list
You'll never put us down!
Put us down!


4. FEAST ON THE LIVING

Blood is the currency
And your time is wearing thin
Get in, get out
The dying roll in
On raw meat they feed

We feed!

They watch the passersby dance into the dirt
Blissfully unaware
They lick their lips with sinister plots
Tonight they will feast

We feed!
It goes best with eyes closed

Cast out the nets of the living
May the reaping never cease
(May the reaping never cease)
Forgotten amongst the living
The dead shall never rest in peace
(The dead shall never rest in peace)

'Cause fear goes best with their pain
But the hunt is just a game
Come now eager ones, it's time to earn your place
Let's set them on a wild goose chase

We feed!
It goes best with open eyes!

Cast out the nets of the living
May the reaping never cease
(May the reaping never cease)
Forgotten amongst the living
The dead shall never rest in peace
(The dead shall never rest in peace)


5. DAYS BEFORE THE WORLD WEPT

I hear a voice coming from the river
Far through the valleys, far far away
So weak, it could knock down trees with his quiver
Fear is the word he spreads through the leaves

I held my hand out to the world
Dirt on skin, dust in eyes
As I fought - fought to remember
What the days were like
The days before the world wept

I see the rays bleed through the clouds
High in the sky, high high up
Their touch is dull, but its burn is loud
Hide is the word they speak to the grounds

And I held out my hand
With every passing day it never wavered
The dust would grow stronger
Bring clouds between my reach and the light

She is calling, she is calling
For my return
And her voice will carry on

She is calling, she is calling
Out to her home
As a remnant lost in time

I feel the tremors from Mother's roots
Buried deep, down down below
They shake in silence through her deadly fingers
Run is the word she roars to the crowds

And I'll hold out my hand
If my fingers should ache
And my grip starts to weaken
I will hold my hand to the world

The seasons would change like clockwork
Tick tock - tick tock
The clocks keeps ticking

Sirens now calling our names
And we run - we run
To answer their call

As long as the seasons still change
'Til all my memories wither away
I'll hold out my hand and marvel at the days
The days before the world wept

She is calling, she is calling
For my return
And her voice will carry on

She is calling, she is calling
Out to her home
As a remnant lost in time
