01. +0 - Lyrics:
Rrrrraaaawwww
Eeeeeerrrraaaa
Yeeeeeaaaaahh
You destroyers of Grace
Destroyers of Salvation
That which is wrought by faith
Can never be gained by works
The flesh you lean upon
Decays beneath you
It rots in your hands
It rots in your hands
It's acrid stench
Flows into your heart
It's acrid stench
Flows into your heart
Defecate your Bristol doctrine from your rectal tongue into porcelain
Defecate your Bristol doctrine from your rectal tongue into your cathedral
You mutilators
You deceivers
You've rendered the blood spilled
Pointless by taking up a burden long thrown to the ground
You have made them
Twice the sons of Hell
A burden only ONE man could ever bear
Defecate your Bristol doctrine from your rectal tongue into porcelain
Defecate your Bristol doctrine from your rectal tongue into your cathedral
You mutilators
You deceivers
If this is your way then Christ shall profit you nothing
If this is your way then walk it alone
Walk it alone
Walk it alone
Walk it alone
Walk it alone
Alone
All alone
Alone
All alone
Alone
All alone
02. Like A Trainwreck - Lyrics:
With your sights aimed squarely at your two left feet
And your feet headed straight for your mouth
You run in ever decreasing circles of self defeat
Intent on keeping your eyes glazed over
And your head filled with lies
The truth is screaming at you
The truth is screaming at you
But the hedonistic hum of the west is all-consuming
It matches your frequency with the brownest of notes
While you medicate and masticate your way through life
Beauty passes beneath your nose unnoticed
For the beholders eyes
Were torn from their sockets long ago
Beauty passes beneath your nose unnoticed
For the beholders eyes
Were torn from their sockets long ago
EGH!
On your quest for self-gratification
I've seen you turn a blind eye
And drown out the voice of truth so many times
That I wonder if you even really want to be saved
But I can't leave you here to die
I can't just leave you here to bleed
But I can't leave you here to die
I can't just leave you here to bleed
Here to bleed
Here to die
Here to bleed
Here to die
With your sights aimed squarely at your two left feet
And your feet headed straight for your mouth
You run in ever decreasing circles of self defeat
Intent on keeping your eyes glazed over
And your head filled with lies
The truth is screaming at you
The truth is screaming at you
03. 1994 - Lyrics:
Don't you get comfortable
We are not a part of your furniture
We do not belong
We are here to burn your world to the ground
To the Ground
EGH!
There is no corner to put us into
There is no wool over my eyes
There is no corner to put us into
There is no wool over my eyes
I perceive...
I perceive...
You can't poison the cure
What we carry crushes kingdoms
We will usher in a new age of truth
Make no mistake...
The past is gone
We will scream into the ears of those who sleep
We carry your awakening
We carry your awakening
And we are far beyond driven
Far Beyond Driven!!!
04. Descent - Lyrics:
Clinging to the edge of my sanity
And I'm about to lose my grip
3285 taking it's toll on my life
Who is this man that stares back from the mirror?
Is this beast my own creation?
As the final grain of sand drops free from the hourglass I've lost sight
I'm looking away
I'm not the same
I'm not the boy who wrote those words
Can't shake the shame
With my head in my hands is there anything worse than forgetting your ways?
Than forgetting those nights and forgetting those days?
I am to blame
I'm looking away
I'm walking away
Tearing from the inside
Hearing voices
seeing signs
Trying to find the answers
Losing ground, I've lost my mind
I could never imagine
I could never perceive how this ending would come
Always figured that something
Always figured that someone would tell me I'm done
But the fighting has killed me
And the fire within me has stifled and died
Now they're looking within me
And they're looking right through me
Exposing this lie
Tearing from the inside
Hearing voices
Seeing signs
Trying to find the answers
Losing ground, I've lost my mind
I've become the downside
Everything we once built I've destroyed
I am ONE with suicide...
Stumbling through this endless void
I am the apocalypse!
I am the apocalypse!
Betrayal on my lips
"Walking alone through this abyss my purpose remains clear... "
Freedom
I walk free
Walking free from the chains of a dead man
I walk free
Walking free from the chains of a dead man
I walk free
Walking free from the chains of a dead man
I walk free
I walk free from these chains
05. Horse Apples - Lyrics:
This is the age of vanity
A self-obsessed generation publicly masturbating
Readily yielding privacy
And vomiting their ignorance into an ocean of foolishness
And vomiting their ignorance into an ocean of foolishness
Self portrait....
Self portrait....
Hand painted with diarrhea
Tunnel vision staring straight into a mirror
Tunnel vision staring straight into a grave
Breeding apathy and what seems like disbelief
In the existence of the world outside of your experience
This is the age of vanity
Nothing is sacred except for self
I refuse
I lift my body from the floor
I shall participate no more
I 'm gouging out my minds eye
With bloody fingers
Of severed hands
Wash me clean and keep me free
Wash me clean and keep me free
"But this needy heart and these treacherous eyes would sooner have me drowning" than facing the sun
Keep me free
06. The Banks Of The Otara - Lyrics:
OH!!!
Spilled into recollections
Encompassed by sound
Cut off...
Cut off and waiting
Cut off and waiting
12 Years spent unconscious to my own grief
Pushed forward and owned by my own weaknesses
"I've done everything I can to push this away and forget it ever happened."
I've put these things below me
Attempting to heal through silence
I've put these things below me
Attempting to heal through silence
Or something
Or nothing
Or whatever
Warm blood
Deep breaths
You gave this noise to me
Warm blood
Deep breaths
You gave this noise to me
Warm blood
Deep breaths
You gave this noise to me
Warm blood
Deep breaths
You gave this noise to me
And I never thanked you because I never knew
And I never once said what you meant
Or that I loved you
That I miss you
And I never thanked you
I never thanked you
But I wish you were here to see this
But I wish you were here with me
But I wish you were here to see this
But I wish you were here with me
07. Was:is - Lyrics:
[Featuring: Tommy Green]
Can you make it through the night?
Is prayer even answered?
Have you ever spoken?
Will I break and drink this light?
Is there any mercy...
Mercy for me?
The clock is broken
Your eyes are swollen
The price that I've paid
The price
Embraced the downfall
Embraced the downfall
Embraced the downfall
Can I be the temple king?
Divine as my dreams
Or is this my nightmare?
Will this ruin everything?
My life as a vapor
Captive and dark
Such thick oppression
Dope sick repression
The price that I'll pay
The price...
So this is an overthrow
Now this is my overthrow
Overthrow
Overthrow
08. Ceremony - Lyrics:
I exist to bring you despair
I exist to usher your destruction
Total chaos
Total obliteration
Your very demise is on the tip of my tongue
Total chaos
Total obliteration
Your very demise is on the tip of my tongue
No more lies
No more deceit
I have come to end it all
No more lies
No more deceit
I have come to end it all
I have arrived
I have arrived
I have awakened
I have arrived
I have awakened
Years of sorrow and years of torture culminating in this very instance
Years of sorrow and years of torture culminating in this very instance
A lesson lived, seven lessons learned
Behind your disguise there is no surprise
A lesson lived, seven lessons learned
Behind your disguise there is no surprise
No more lies
No more deceit
I have come to end it all
No more lies
No more deceit
I have come to end it all
Can you see them?
The horde of soldiers shrouded in light?
Standing by my side?
As we sing a new song with fire in our eyes, this ritual is taking place
Behold your downfall
Welcome to your deathbed
Behead the serpent
Dig the grave
Bury the body
Walk away
Behead the serpent
Dig the grave
Bury the body
Walk away smiling...
09. Anthem Of The Underground - Lyrics:
GO!!
Fight
Fight 'til the death!
Fight
Fight
Fight until our dying breath
We are the broken
We are the lost
We are the ones who'll take this back
At all costs
This generation is alive
The sleepless ones who'll raise the dead
Because we have nothing to lose
You can't hang this death over our heads
No!
This is the time for which we're born
And there's no way to slow us down
This is the anthem of the underground
We are the broken
We are the lost
We are the ones who'll take this back
At all costs
We are the faithful
We are the few
We are the chosen
We are the true
This generation is alive
The sleepless ones who'll raise the dead
Because we have nothing to lose
You can't hang this death over our heads
No!
This is the time for which we're born
And there's no way to slow us down
This is the anthem of the underground
(Speaking)
Fight
Fight 'til the death!
Fight
Fight
Fight until our dying breath
Fight
Fight 'til the death!
Fight
Fight
Fight until our dying breath
OH!!
Fight
Fight
Fight
Fight 'til the death!
Fight
Fight
Fight
Fight 'til the death!
10. Temple Of The Snake - Lyrics:
RAAAWWW!!
Slipped once again and I'm finding myself back inside this same old story
Fear coming over me, guilty as sin, succumbing
I'm losing myself
All the weight that I've carried these days is crushing me down and I fall
Can't escape this
How can I erase these thoughts?
They're all haunted by you
YOU!!!
Back once again and I'm drowning myself embracing this flesh-bough freedom
It eats away at me and all the promises that I made
I can't keep
it's consuming me inside and out
I'm blistered
I'm rotting away
Can't escape this
How can I erase this?
Over and over again...
Still making the same mistakes
Still walking away from grace
I spend my days in the temple of the snake
"And though you pick me up and you wash me clean
I still turn and walk away
I bite the hand that freely feeds
I am the cause of all this pain."
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEOH!
Bind my hands
Bury me
Gouge my eyes out
Set me free
Bury me
11. The Man Who Painted The Pavement - Lyrics:
...And I walked by with life in my heart
I walked by
12. Ablaze - Lyrics:
I will burn...
I will burn...
Through the world's affliction
Through the earth's decay and rot you reign
Victor to the victims
Life and restoration in your name
Mercy for resistance
Even through my sin, your grace abounds
Even in the distance
I hear Your voice and it sets my soul ablaze, my soul ablaze
Ignite the fire and I will burn
In these days of trial
In the years of turmoil you bring peace
In this life of anguish
The throne of grace and mercy brings release
Forever learning
Let your spirit guide me in this place
Hidden lamps are burning
It's time to let them shine and set this world ablaze
For the one who died for me: a liar
For the one who died for me: a thief
For the one who's eyes are filled with fire
For my loving saviour I will burn
I will burn...
For the one who died for me: a liar
For the one who died for me: a thief
For the one who's eyes are filled with fire
For my loving saviour I will burn
I will burn!
I will burn...
I will burn!
I will burn!
For the one who set me free I'll burn
For the one who died for me I'll burn
13. The Urgency - Lyrics:
Listen...
Listen...
Listen...
Listen...
[Matthew 5:14-15]
Be not sedated
Be not amused
Be not silenced
Hide not this truth
Be not sedated
Be not amused
Be not silenced
Hide not this truth
