black rising sun
permeates his vision of conquests
the morning stars psalm
serenades him in his cradle of unrest
board straight and cold
terror strikes at the salt and the sinew
he drinks the poison and the memories return
the tower crumbles as the batlements burn
black rising sun
consumes
board straight and cold
terror

born to the night
wake the men
this is the war
for the blacksmith's sword.
here in this fight
well stake the world
no more apologies
for the sick and the sore
we ll take this battle now,
we ll take this battle now,
step up and face it,
the world is against us
we ll put em in the ground
raise your banner, we ll fight
(we ll fight, we ll fight)
meet me in the middle, we ll fight
(we ll fight, we ll fight)
put on your battle faces
this is a time for war
if your the last man standing
you wont be ignored

here in the shadows of social reform
amid a plague of good intent
an empty smile to keep us warm
here's to those we'll never miss
deadly, so deadly
fire walk with me
we waltz in your city
with a fiery step, nothing shall last
an exhale from our lungs
and your buildings collapse
in the wake of our path
when the sun finally sets
u will see that
we are the gods of hell
nations and souls will fall (like rain)
take your fears to the altar (and pray)
these are their last days

we're leaches for the lonely
and for the hurting hearts
do the street sweeper yeah
get up
dance till u die
get down
now's the time
shes only an dream
the roof top camper clipped her wing
a diseased and broken angel
her armor did her no good at all

this self inflicted bruise
on your pride and your prejudice
this is a sign of the times
you are a portrait of this day
you always wanted to be
a beacon to the armies
but you fashioned yourself
into an anti hero
you ll be buried with your stripes
you ll be buried
remember how we live
is how we will be remembered
and every word that u speak
lives forever

fools parade we slowly bleed the restless masses dry
fools parade we slowly bleed the masses dry and you stand and watch as they all pass you by
we stand up straight and point our fingers to the sky
blind adoration makes us beautiful
when we die our lies will wake your children from the dream
that everything has purpose and the world
...is what it seems
you know it ll happen again
and then we ll try to be friends
but that wont work out so well
from all the lies that you tell
i ll end up hating your guts
and use your fear as my crutch
you need to be with your kind
fuck you you ve wasted my time
once a demi-god
now a messiah

you've got a handful of fake friends to follow you and a mouthful shit
I've got your number
mr water under the bridge
the later day sinner
or the pubescent liar now one in the same.
pull back think hard digest
your all but ok
drifting, liar, victim,
your thieving ways
hurts us, kills u, destroys
the friendship we had
8 eyes 4 minds 4 hearts
we re tragedy's phoenix
so paint your new age rhetoric on a bloody t shirt
and hold your values up like a badge
whos holding the reins
the angst ridden hoodlum and the hippie idealist
are now one in the same
i will get by and try on my
own desire you'll die inside
there was love your grave it reads
"they used to care" but now we leave
SO CALLED, SO LOVED FRIENDS
we re still moving; right along yeah were fine and im fine
sympathy is not what we need from you. yeah we re fine and I'm fine
parting ways with party trays. for better days. yeah we re fine and I'm fine
middle fingers and itchy triggers. show the love yeah we re fine see we re fine.

now that my skin
is cool to the touch
my savior stands beside me
i did what i could
as do we all
only god could forgive me
bright lights in my eyes
cold steel on my back
by the blade I'm so alone
drawer-ed, covered, and tagged
there are things far worse than dying
she is every single one ...
eyes warm with life,
yet cold with rage
her hands play Moses inside me groping for truth
still beating heart
revenge becomes validation
|

a reach around just isn't the same
at the end of her sharpened blade
wax seals over passing looks
he takes aim shes taking his life
i gave u hits u took them out
i was there from the start
Nancy gave u looks
her set up of the heart
sleep now in silence
i was never the killing kind
she was never meant to love like this
or looked over by a son of a bitch
at the end of my rope
i can kill for love
tackle roll unsheathe
slice hard stab fast and be quick
your life in my hands
relax and give up

a clashing of steal make way for the blind
a god to save us from denial
the blood of our children who fell to the blight
a war to save them from the fire
the view from a spire a grave for the masses
a shroud to cover us with relief
quarter your weapons and raise your glasses
and toast to you
its alright
ive maybe seen better days
we lost the fight
now ive never seen better days
the attempted life clandestine
resides behind a wall
of lacquered dreams of afterlife
and "glory be us all"
so choose your own believers
and bare your heart to none
if only life was easier to cleanse
from dirty guns
