The Defiled : Daggers
Lyrics
1. SLEEPER
Dropped in seclusion
The eye of the storm
The art of deception
Influence
Inform
It's empty consuming
Wish I could forestall the morning
I become betrayer of them all
Deceive and infiltrate
Confuse, control their fate
A pattern developed
I've learned to perform
A good little liar
False feelings on show
It's so disembodied the crackling voice
Making it known that I have no choice
Deceive and infiltrate
Confuse, control their fate
It's the curse of the unknown soldier
But it's all that I've come to know
I am the sleeper trapped in this cell that haunts me
It's unforgivable
And so dismal
The only life I will ever know
Draws to a close
It's the curse of the unknown soldier
But it's all that I've come to know
I am the sleeper trapped in this cell that haunts me
2. UNSPOKEN
So deeply seeded
Misreading viewed as trust
As a collective monological
Filled with smiles
Deceit and disgust
We're so oblivious
Unwilling
'Cause there must be nothing wrong
Unrelenting self-obsession instrumental
Fundamental and life-long
The torment of the damned
We are all what we already know
Misinformed but dying to show
Bound by illusions with nowhere to go
Always deluded
Scared
Irrationel
Ulterior motives
dispelling all till we're crushed
With a sickening efficiency
We continue feeding mistrust
We keep alienating
We have no recourse
We are claiming transparency
Such a lie with no remorse
We are all what we already know
Misinformed but dying to show
Bound by illusions with nowhere to go
Always deluded
Scared
Irrational
The torments of the damned
3. SAINTS & SINNERS
'Til I'm complete
'Til I've destroyed
'Til Everything goes back to
A place within
That is no more
A place one can't imagine
All rationale left and pushed aside
Drive through religion for jaded minds
A social order of blatant lies
Oblivious the ignorant march side by side
Side by side
Blood red skies
And tears in eyes
Screaming children perish
A world collapse
They run like rats
Eternal void of us
All rationale left and pushed aside
Drive through religion for jaded minds
A social order of blatant lies
Oblivious the ignorant march side by side
Side by side
4. AS I DROWN
Fear has quickened the heartbeat
But we're fiends wanting more
Who would ever believe
You've replenished the need
We're still begging at your door
This is your cue to go
Yeah you should know
What this means to me
You've been dragging this out now
For way too long
It's time to cage or set me free
And I have tried my hardest
And you have beat me down
'Cause it's the same old situation pouring
Water as I drown
And I have tried my hardest
And you have beat me down
Stepping over the threshold
To usher in new times
We've been running on vapours
But that won't make us
Change our crooked lives
'Cause now we're moving on
We're way too strong
We will wring you dry
You've been dragging this out
Now for way too long
It's time to say goodbye
And I have tried my hardest
And you have beat me down
'Cause it's the same old situation
Pouring, water as I drown
And I have tried my hardest
And you have beat me down
Walking against wind-driven rain
Tangled in a blanket of your lies
You're fucking killing me
And I have tried my hardest
And you have beat me down
'Cause it's the same old situation
Pouring, water as I drown
And I have tried my hardest
And you have beat me down
5. PORCELAIN
Look up and open
I'm inside you
Your skin so pretty with
Shades of black and blue
I need you now
I need you helpless on the floor
Do as you're told
I will consume you to the core
A controlling beast
The ultimate release
For a twisted heart
Helpless and torn apart
Calm and compliant
In my sweet restrain
Looking so fragile my
Blue-veined porcelain
I need you now, I need to
Give you all my shame
There is no safe word here
'Cause this is not a game
A controlling beast
The ultimate release
For a twisted heart
Helpless and torn apart
If you could see in me
With attentive eyes
I want to tase you empty
Exposing what's inside
A controlling beast
The ultimate release
For a twisted heart
Helpless and torn apart
6. NEW APPROACH
Silence the only relief
Welcome to your ultimate low
Feeling so hard-done-by
The time has come to make you believe
Vexed and concerned only now that you're threatened
Pathetic detached absentee
This is the hardship of being
This is the start of us all
We're empty vessels daydreaming
With no intervening
It's time for a new approach
Look forward to one day soon
When you're shunned by every companion
Give up surrender surpass
Too little too fucking late
Vexed and concerned only now you're threatened
Pathetic detached absentee
This is the hardship of being
This is the start of us all
We're empty vessels daydreaming
With no intervening
It's time for a new approach
7. FRAGMENTS OF HOPE
There's no final wisdom
No terminal thought
These marks and these sounds are embedded in all we're taught
No reference referred to when all's said and done
We bark at each other with a primitive tongue
The outlines of confusion
Fragments of hope never shedding light
Try our best but this fuel won't ignite
Familiar mistakes carried through life
Try our best but there's no end in sight
One cannot find meaning with intent alone
Preconceptions and ideas have been dethroned
No end to the flow of our information
For better or worse we must still carry on
The outlines of confusion
Fragments of hope never shedding light
Try our best but this fuel won't ignite
Familiar mistakes carried through life
Try our best but there's no end in sight
8. INFECTED
Claw it back with injured hands
They so love to ignore
There's no way to know
How long we've held on to these lies
Speak out and take control
Somehow we'll make it through
No they can't take us all
We are the ones you tried to hide
We are the infection deep inside
They could never hold us back
Their time has come and gone
Alway look our way in doubt
Their patronizing eyes
So speak out and take control
Somehow we'll make it through
No they can't take us all
We are the ones you tried to hide
We are the infection deep inside
Can we find a better way
Pushed aside and led astray
Letting go of nothing is so easy
9. THE MOURNING AFTER
Take a look at the night before
And take a look at what you've done
It's not real you can feel the tension
Crawl and hide away
Hold on, head strong
Yeah, I've done wrong
Hey now, don't pull yourself apart
Yeah, come on down and let's do it from the start
Rub my eyes and wipe the sleep off
I must have had too much to dream
It's so real I can feel the tension
Pressure in my brain
Hold on, head strong
Yeah, I've done wrong
Hey now, don't pull yourself apart
Yeah, come on down and let's do it from the start
10. FIVE MINUTES
Been here by your side
God I hope you'll fight and carry on
Please carry on
All my life I've known nothing else
But you to be my own
You are my home
And it's breaking me
I cannot bear the thought
I'm still holding on to some idea that is supernatural
And I can't believe
That there's nothing left to say
And I hold this pain inside my chest and it won't go away
Unbelievable
When there is nothing left to do
I got all this pouring out of me, how I'm missing you
Sometimes I feel alright
But that feeling it just comes and goes
It always goes
Oh it's draining me
The idea the fact you've gone for sure
For evermore
And it's breaking me
I cannot bear the thought
I'm still holding on to some idea and it's supernatural
And I can't believe
That there's nothing left to say
And I hold this pain inside my chest and it won't go away
Unbelievable
When there is nothing left to do
I got all this pouring out of me, how I'm missing you
And I can't believe
That there's nothing left to say
And I hold this pain inside my chest and it won't go away
Unbelievable
When there is nothing left to do
I got all this pouring out of me, I'm missing you
11. NO PLACE LIKE HOME
The day when it all changed
Nothing will be the same
Leave us in peace and take all the blame
We've been lied to for years
All trust has disappeared
And we've not listening to what you've got to say
Just walk away
Fall to your knees and pray for forgiveness
Maybe time has healed our wounds
But these scares are to deep
Shell of a broken man
Never completed plans
Look back in time before it all began
Sadness is brought upon
This life that I've strayed from
I've come to realize that there is no place like home
Fall to your knees and pray forgiveness
Maybe time has healed our wounds
But these scares are too deep
Fall to your knees and pray forgiveness
