01. Prelude - Instrumental ♫
02. The Darkest Red - Lyrics:
I bleed this blasphemy
The sin that courses through my veins
It burns beneath
Beneath the scars of my decay
This suffering
These fingers claw against my flesh
I pray for this
This touch that takes away my breath
I pray for
This is my final breath
The choking end of misery
My walls collapse
I pray for death
This is my final breath
Peel back the flesh to watch it bleed
The darkest red
I pray for death
We share this suffering
One open wound, a whispered cry
It breathes in me, draining the life from the inside
In ecstasy exposing my flesh to darkest red
I can't resist this touch that takes away my breath
I pray for
This is my final breath, the choking end of misery
My walls collapse, I pray for death
This is my final breath
Peel back the flesh to watch it bleed
The darkest red
I pray for death
Feel me, breathe me, bleed me, I beg you
This is my final breath, the choking end of misery
My walls collapse, I pray for death
This is my final breath
Peel back the flesh to watch it bleed
The darkest red
I pray for death
03. Scars Of Your Disease - Lyrics:
I am the ever-forsaken
Bastard child of your disease
Your dead and abandoned
Strung up foe all of you to see
Naked and screaming
So beautiful, profane
The essence of bleeding
The scars that bare my name
I am the hatred incarnate
I am the choked and dying screams
I am the sickness inside you
Longing for
This is the hate that surrounds you
Pray for the endless touch of death
Now burning inside you
I am the scars of your disease
I am eternal damnation
The bastard child of your disease
The slow suffocation
Strung up for everyone to see
Sever the feeling
The mirror of your shame
The darkest temptation
Your scars that bare my name
I am the endless procession
I am the poison for the weak
I am your loveless desire
Longing for
This is the hate that surrounds you
Pray for the endless touch of death now burning inside you
I am the scars of your disease
I am the ever-forsaken
Bastard child of your disease
Your dead and abandoned
Strung up for all of you to see
This is the hate that surrounds you
Pray for the endless touch of death now burning inside you
I am the scars of your disease
04. Screams Turn To Silence - Lyrics:
I watched the walls collapse
Beneath a hollow shell of lies
Worn paper-thin and stained in black, fell beneath the fading light
The shards that penetrate
The thickest of my skin
I feel the sting it separates, and bleeds my body of its sin
The darkness that grows inside, like a cancer that's feeding
Reflected behind her eyes
As screams turn to silence
The sound is deafening
The hollow voices of regret
Held like the damned under the flames
Burned against the endless night
The pain that suffocates
A prayer escapes my lips
Force fed the lies, I'm choking back the bitter taste of what I am
The darkness that grows inside like a cancer that's feeding
Reflected behind her eyes
As screams turn to silence
The pain grows to consume me
Counting the scars left in its wake
The endless torment of silence
Crashing down it separates
That darkness that grows inside like a cancer that's feeding
Reflected behind her eyes
As screams turn to silence
05. Sacrifice - Lyrics:
We die one thousand deaths
They held us close to taste the flames
A sacrifice
To pacify the god they've made
The stench of stagnant blood
Collects in pools of misery they drained from us and stained themselves in blasphemy
We are the sacrifice
Our tainted offering
We are the sacrifice
Now you will share our suffering
We steal a final breath
A tattered veil averts our eyes from their hypocrisy
Their cruel intent hidden by lies
The silence lingering
Like the condemned waiting to die
In darkest red
Reflecting black beneath the light
We are the sacrifice
Our tainting offering
We are the sacrifice
Now you will share our suffering
In the eyes of our father
From the tears of our mother, shame
We are the sacrifice
Our tainted offering
We are the sacrifice
Now you will share our suffering
06. Prey - Lyrics:
From grace she fell beneath the ashes
That forced her to her knees, cut her open wide
To bleed her body dry of feeling
The wounds will form no scars, only memories
Tearing at the scars she's open wide
Screaming till her lungs collapse
Behind her cold and vacant eyes
The innocence that dies inside
The tears that line her face the anguish
The lies she's fed herself closing loveless eyes
To bleed her body dry the feeling of breath escaping lips closing lifeless eyes
Tearing at the scars she's open wide
Screaming till her lungs collapse
Behind her cold and vacant eyes
The innocence that dies inside
She dies inside
Tearing at the scars she's open wide
Screaming till her lungs collapse
Behind her cold and vacant, the innocence that dies inside
07. Procession - Lyrics:
The stench of the hopeless and wounded
The cries that escape from the depths of regret
A bleeding mass in procession
That fell on the path from which it strayed
A whisper in total darkness
To die at the hands of what we are
A breath escapes from the lifeless
The blind and the feeble of our decay
This is the pain we must suffer
This is the endless agony
This is the darkest of secrets we give our lives to keep
The light that's surrounding
I am all that you've made me
Their endless desire feeds the fire inside me and all I can ask for
Take this life that you gave me
I'm not your Messiah
The fear that grows like a cancer
Held likes a breath and sacrificed
The blood that flows from the wounded
Consumed by the masses who've longed to taste
This is a prayer for the hopeless
This is an endless tragedy
This is the darkest of secrets
We give ourselves to keep
The light that's surrounding
I am all that you've made me
Their endless desire feed the fire inside me and all I can ask for
Take this life that you gave me
I'm not your Messiah
I pray for redemption
These unanswered cries
In darkness it came to me and I breathe
Their distant voices sing to me and everything changes suddenly
The light that's surrounding
I am all that you've made me
Their endless desire feeds the fire inside me and all I can ask for
Take this life that you gave me
I'm not your Messiah
08. Suffer - Lyrics:
A sickening display, a scar for every line
The beauty and the pain of total agony
These lacerations, the stench of slow decay
It desecrates, making beautiful profane
A tragedy the suffering of loss that separates
A fragile soul from its remains
Lay down and you'll suffer
Would you die for your affliction?
Held down, now you'll suffer
Would you kill for what destroys you?
They pick at the remains
The dead in perfect lines
The beauty and the pain of total agony
These lacerations, the stench of slow decay
It desecrates, making beautiful profane
A tragedy the suffering of loss that separates
A fragile soul from its remains
Lay down and you'll suffer
Would you die for your affliction?
Held down, now you'll suffer
Would you kill for what destroys you?
In darkness I close my eyes
A prayer to ease the pain
In silence I realize
The darkness will always
Lay down and you'll suffer
Would you die for your affliction?
Held down, now you'll suffer
Would you kill for what destroys you?
09. My Dark Desire - Lyrics:
Her touch is intoxicating
She holds my heart within her hands
Unmerciful
She has become my everything
Kissed with broken glass
The softest touch will penetrate and steal my breath
I close my eyes and suffocate
She is my dark desire
With all the trappings of regret
Dressed in blasphemy
She pulls the stitches from my eyes
She is my suffering
The taste of death is on her lips
Dressed in blasphemy
She takes my breath and takes my life
She is my misery
To touch her skin of whitest lies
So beautiful
She has become my everything
She is the kiss of death
My body longing just to feel, her final breath
To close her eyes and suffocate
She is my dark desire
With all the trappings of regret
Dressed in blasphemy
She pulls the stitches from my eyes
She is my suffering
The taste of death is on her lips
Dressed in blasphemy
She takes my breath and takes my life
10. Scapegoat - Lyrics:
Abandoned, broken and bleeding
A feast for their eyes a spectacle
A martyr of the forsaken
A scapegoat for their suffering
Burn me alive, burn me alive
I feel the hatred behind their eyes
Burn me alive
In eager circles to watch me die
Burn me
As silence falls through the masses
The cruelest display of sacrifice
A savior of the abandoned
A scapegoat for their suffering
Burn me alive, burn me alive
I feel the hatred behind their eyes
Burn me alive
In eager circles to watch me die
Burn me
Abandoned, broken and bleeding
A feast for their eyes a spectacle
A martyr of the forsaken
A scapegoat for their suffering
Burn me alive, burn me alive
Burn me
11. Forever Abandoned - Lyrics:
Wrists are severed
The deepest cuts are traced in red
So beautiful
The separation of her flesh
From the razor
Feeling a pain she's never known
Like broken glass
Draining the blood that's running cold
She tasted eternity
It's kiss like a last goodbye
As she's taken herself from me
Forever abandoned
Eyes held open
The bitter taste of blood and sweat
The emptiness
That suffocates a final breath
Endless silence
That dulls the pain beneath her skin
Her vacant eyes watching the blood that's running thin
She tasted eternity
It's kiss like a last goodbye
As she's taken herself from me
Forever abandoned
