01. Descending Upon Us - Lyrics:
This is our call - to see these idols fall
Drag them out into the light – let fate devour whole
This is your fault, you fool of faith untrue
That we should face the grave with such a blackened view
Oh... this pain is true we see the damage done
In the eyes of those turning away
Save your plea for the day that we suffer the wake of this treason
Rain like fire descending upon us in holy resolve, upon this ground
Hollow name of five encircled frame
Deception incarnate – receive my vow of hate
Oh... this pain is true see how the blood will run
In the eyes of those turning away
Save your plea for the day that we suffer the wake of this treason
Rain like fire descending upon us in holy resolve, upon this ground
Save your plea for the day that we suffer the wake of this treason
Rain like fire descending upon us in holy resolve, upon this ground
We see the damage done - resounding desecration
We see the damage done - blackened insurrection
Suppress the pain of mind as long as you can bear
And feel the desperation clawing from within
They say the truth is found when hell is at your doorstep
You’d better pray to see that time come to pass
Save your plea for the day that we suffer the wake of this treason
Rain like fire descending upon us in holy resolve, upon this ground
Save your plea for the day that we suffer the wake of this treason
Rain like fire descending upon us in holy resolve, upon this ground
02. LifeWar - Lyrics:
Born from the fire clean, crawling in through the dirt like war
Five years, my mother gave a voice for war
Ten, I was dead born again with eyes for war
By fifteen, hate was the name of my war
Wash me in the river, give me to the pain of LifeWar
LifeWar
Twenty years gone and father told me life was like war
Hands to the bone, twenty-five years of war
Thirty, I wake to the sound of souls at war
I will pass through, buried with the flag of my war
Wash me in the river, give me to the pain of LifeWar
LifeWar
LifeWar, war
LifeWar, LifeWar
LifeWar
03. Collapsing - Lyrics:
[Featuring: Björn ''Speed'' Strid]
I, I see the weight of hollow death residing in you
Take now your final breath
Exhale the truth
I see the fear of nothing left
Dead fragments of youth
You hold it in yourself
I feel it too
I mourn your blindness
I die alone
And swallow darkness
In misery is where I belong
Collapsing in on yourself
I don't know why I try (I try)
Collapsing in on yourself
I don't know why you deny
I, I know the light is burning dim and dying in you
I know the pain that lies within
I feel it too
I mourn your blindness
I die alone
And swallow darkness
In misery is where I belong
Collapsing in on yourself
I don't know why I try (I try)
Collapsing in on yourself
I don't know why you deny
No vow of silence, no remission of truth
Collapsing in on yourself
I don't know why I try (I try)
Collapsing in on yourself
I don't know why you deny
Collapsing in on yourself
I don't know why I try (I try)
Collapsing in on yourself
I don't know why you deny
04. This Is The Line - Lyrics:
Fire surround, in cleansing repose
Letting the filth, like venom it flows
Scar, the mark, remind us the pain
Breaking the bones that will reach out again
And now we will rise to conquer them all
Many will challenge, many will fall
Bring us your vile, malicious of mind
We will bring their neck to the line
Scum of the earth, power of air
You wanted the world, we'll bury you there
This is a battle, we are the blade
And this is the line, this is the line
All that they build we will break
This is the line
And though you will fight, you will not return
For when in the fields, your temples we burned
And scattered the ash upon every grave
To honor the ones that you have betrayed
Scum of the earth, power of air
You wanted the world, we'll bury you there
This is a battle, we are the blade
And this is the line, this is the line
All that they build we will break
This is the line
This is a battle, we are the blade
And this is the line, this is the line
All that they build we will break
This is the line
You wanted the world...
We'll bury you there!
This is a battle, we are the blade
And this is the line, this is the line
All that they build we will break
This is the line
This is a battle, we are the blade
And this is the line, this is the line
All that they build we will break
This is the line
Which side are you on?
05. Driving Nails - Lyrics:
I was the light, I was the quiet heart
I was the place we used to dwell
And when the cold would tear your life apart, I was the warmth that you had felt
What have I become?
Thoughts like shadows swelling through my mind
What have I become?
Something else inside
It's driving nails into my soul, angels from my door
Driving nails into my soul, something inside
I was the blood inside your broken heart
I was the stone that you had held
What have I become?
Thoughts like shadows swelling through my mind
What have I become?
Something else inside
It's driving nails into my soul, angels from my door
Driving nails into my soul, something else inside
It's driving nails into my soul, angels from my door
Driving nails into my soul, something else inside
I close my eyes, search for You, retracing every step
It's driving nails into my soul, angels from my door
Driving nails into my soul, something inside
It's driving nails into my soul, angels from my door
Driving nails into my soul, something else inside
It's driving nails into my soul, angels from my door
Driving nails into my soul, something else inside
06. The World Is A Thorn - Lyrics:
The gavel has fallen, along with the rest
Are we expected to settle for this?
Bring us the plague, lead us away
Blacken tomorrow with ash of today
Can't you see the fabric of our standards wearing thin?
See your world in its grave at the hands of the enslaved
Won't bow to man. Won't bow to government
Won't trust in a failed system of self-fulfilling lust
Won't love a world where my God is mocked
I defy
Oh, a kiss on the serpent's head
We walk in the line of deceit, the walking dead
Can't you feel the ground of our discretion giving way?
Refusal of hope, solution demise
Bury the truth in a mountain of lies
Won't bow to man
Won't bow to government
Won't trust in a failed system of self-fulfilling lust
Won't love a world where my God is mocked
I defy
This is what you try to sell me
Subjective nothingness
Pull your sickness from my throat
Let me breathe the truth
Let me breathe the truth
Won't bow to man
Won't bow to government
Won't bow to greed
Won't bow to false hope
Won't bow to self
Won't bow to modern code
Won't sell my soul to a dead world
I defy
07. Tie This Around Your Neck - Lyrics:
This is the age of the dead, the generation of pagan and self-led
You can feel the bones shatter beneath our feet
The blood of lust staining our teeth
We feed on pain (pain), disorder (disorder), delusion (delusion)
The filth of the modern plague
And in this reign of Godlessness, the heathens will say
"Tie this around your neck, tie this around your neck
Tie this around your neck, tie this around your neck, fool"
Save your breath, my son, just carry on home
Time will prey on you and take you through Hell
I've heard every empty line
Every curse, every word that you redefine
I will turn my back on the coming storm
Won't lie in the grave, I will be reborn
They say:
"Tie this around your neck, tie this around your neck
Tie this around your neck, tie this around your neck, fool"
Save your breath, my son, just carry on home
Time will prey on you and take you through Hell
Confusion reigns, pride of the hopeless herd
Blind to the will, blind to the Word
They will drown in the rule of man, helpless and alone
Save your breath, my son, just carry on home
Time will prey on you and take you through Hell
They say:
"Tie this around your neck, tie this around your neck, fool
Tie this around your neck, tie this around your neck, fool, fool, fool"
08. Just Breathe - Lyrics:
[Featuring: Christian Älvestam]
So now you try but the blade is primed to just cut you down again
To no avail, this fix divine was wrought to do you in
Seemingly endless, beckoning debt, beckoning debt
Vacant and nameless, where is the end?
Aching just to endure again sweet loss
Able again to feel, this is real
Just breathe, suffer again (suffer again)
Look back, stand in the wake and breathe, wait for the end (wait for the end)
Fight back, this isn't over
One single touch will further crush your corrupted state of mind
You carve the way for regret to take you further down the line
Seemingly endless, beckoning debt, beckoning debt
Vacant and nameless, where is the end?
Aching just to endure again sweet loss
Able again to feel, this is real
Just breathe, suffer again (suffer again)
Look back, stand in the wake and breathe, wait for the end (wait for the end)
Fight back, this isn't over
Just breathe, suffer again (suffer again)
Look back, stand in the wake and breathe, wait for the end (wait for the end)
Fight back, this isn't over
Just breathe, suffer again (suffer again)
Look back, stand in the wake and breathe, wait for the end (wait for the end)
Fight back, this isn't over
Just breathe, suffer again (suffer again)
Look back, stand in the wake and breathe, wait for the end (wait for the end)
Fight back, this isn't over
This isn't over
This isn't over
09. Shallow Water - Lyrics:
Remember the threat from which it was said
"You will reap every seed that you sow"
And the tomb where you lay is the bed that you made
Be still in the pain that you wrote
See now, every scar is a choice you make
Every choice is a vow you take
Take pity upon your fate, you coward
Sleepwalk through heaven's call, no forest for the trees
Unlearn every step you take, it'll bring you to your knees
Tread...
Shallow water
Safe from the weight, the burden of sacrifice
Sons and daughters, pray for the rain
May it redeem their eyes
And now we have seen what complacency brings as the blind are assuming the lead
Dig deep in the hole where you buried your soul, in the river from where it bleeds
Take now your eternal stand before it pulls you in
10. Feel As Though You Could - Lyrics:
[Featuring: Dave Peters]
Rebellion, oh, cheap thrills and vacant youth
Carry out your own will, shovel deep and bury truth
Social stain, punk wreck, mother's own defect
Sing that song you know so well, sing it one foot in Hell
Eyes wide black, turn your back
Oh, how the foolish will see how every man, he does bleed
The vultures circle, halo of the dead
Another vicious cycle, swallow what you're fed
And now the vultures circle, halo of the dead
Another vicious cycle, be true to your dissent
Somehow feel, feel as though you could
Somehow, in all your petty suffering (suffering)
Burn this down
Rejection of weak trends and fake hate
This is what you're fighting for, some fool's mistake
I will devour you, I'll overpower you
Rise from the ashes, screaming, "Eternity"
The vultures circle, halo of the dead
Another vicious cycle, swallow what you're fed
And now the vultures circle, halo of the dead
Another vicious cycle, be true to your dissent
Somehow feel, feel as though you could
Somehow, in all your petty suffering (suffering)
Go!
Ignite upon these words and breathe defeat
Your shallow deeds make Hell for wood and stone, flesh and bone, this alone
Somehow feel, feel as though you could
Somehow, in all your petty suffering (suffering)
Burn this down, burn this down, burn this down, burn this down
11. Blood In The Tears - Lyrics:
Don't come on quietly when you draw near
Don't go on lightly
Don't leave me here
I wither quickly in winter's cold
But carry onward like I was told
And I wait for a sign
[Chorus]:
Like blood in the tears of all my enemies
(So they will see)
Knowing the pain the way they should
Blood in the tears of all my enemies
(Given to me)
Leaving a trail to where you stood
And when it's quiet
When you can hear
I beg you take me away from here
[Chorus]:
Like blood in the tears of all my enemies
(So they will see)
Knowing the pain the way they should
Blood in the tears of all my enemies
(Given to me)
Leaving a trail to where you stood
Cleansing red, wake the dead
[Chorus]:
Like blood in the tears of all my enemies
(So they will see)
Knowing the pain the way they should
Blood in the tears of all my enemies
(Given to me)
Leaving a trail to where you stood
12. Desire The Pain - Lyrics:
[Deluxe Edition Bonus Track]
This is your dying will
Forced to feed...and over again
Flies to filth, greed, wealth
And we take what they give, every piece that we can hold
Is it all that we are? Is it all we seek to be?
Soiled hands will meet us there
Choking the light from our souls...
I desire the pain
I desire the weight
And I will face my grave
Draining the life from our veins
Into a curse that we despise
What a sickening way to spend our lives
Soiled hands will meet us there
Choking the light from our souls...
I desire the pain
I desire the weight
And I will face my grave
I desire remorse
I desire release
And I will chase this away...
AWAY!
I desire the pain
I desire the weight
And I will face my grave
I desire remorse
I desire release
And I will chase this away...
And I will chase this away...
I desire the pain
