They force us down We dig our graves Constant reminders that there’s nothing to save Through the breaking of backs And sweat on the brow The endless exchange of whips cracking down Awake - the power that runs deep inside Quake - as I demonstrate my might Shudder - as a new dawn approaches Your reign is over now take what you’ve caused and Fear me, for now I’m unbound Won’t stop ‘til it crashes down We are the master and you are the slave Now bow to us on this reckoning day So brittle the bones Which comprise the man Though he stands tall, hardened and ready Determined defiance Willing to die A martyr for his people to rise Awake - the power that runs deep inside Quake - as I demonstrate my might Shudder - as a new dawn approaches Your reign is over now take what you’ve caused and Fear me, for now I’m unbound Won’t stop ‘til it crashes down We are the master and you are the slave Now bow to us on this reckoning day We will not be enslaved Through decay of soul we fight Here lies no peace for those who contort our plight The speck of light waning Shrouded by veils of chain The slave becomes the master By his own whip he shall be slain

Shackled 03:50
The days grow longer now Waiting for you beside me Never to love again Can the world hear my pleas? You left me as I fell Face first into the ground Regret and lust sear my flesh Clarity of mind found Waiting to see you again, I seek only truth Let me go falling once more, this blackened heart seeks only you My soul begins to unbind All weakness left behind Remnants haunt my every thought Through day and night, distraught Hold on to memories Hold on to what we once were A failed experiment Let lessons be learned False intentions, feelings of dementia Deprived of life, departure advantageous Waiting to see you again, I seek only truth Let me go falling once more, this blackened heart seeks only you Waiting to see you again, I seek only truth Let me go falling once more, this blackened heart seeks only you The stars weep for you tonight, a signal in the distance Dead for eons destroyed, the end of my existence

Slipping 04:43
These skies now turn a dark shade of gray Falling into darkness only at midday But I know there’s something beautiful Waiting for me to stray A fragile cigar slowly burning on the edge of an ashtray The no one there to put it out lets it burn away Follow not this path led by mind But create anew, your own path by heart Paved by the strength and selflessness Once forgotten, love is found within You led me astray through this dark path An endless maze, my world begins to crash There is no hope for this weak-willed man I must let go, I won’t hold on Holding on for dear life my fingers slowly slip away Unknowingly I ease my grip before I fall into grace Follow not this path led by mind But create anew, your own path by heart Paved by the strength and selflessness Once forgotten, love is found within This fallen man will triumph Undo a wrong to make a right Take a stand, shut up and fight To claim this life as his Follow not this path led by mind But create anew, your own path by heart Paved by the strength and selflessness Once forgotten, love is found within

Midnight depredation Your body reeks of fabrication The lies once told cemented in The past should stay dead But its burial has yet to be Tomorrow’s light, it shall forever see Come to terms with your mistakes Life will give and life shall take Say goodbye to dreams, denied All your hopes and dreams must die Going out with a Glasgow smile Lay to rest, your past so vile Ritual delusions The lies you tell just dig you deeper Like rotting flesh to the maggots Witness the birth of death You’re only digging your own grave Your flaw is what they crave This flaw is your past This initial buzz, it doesn’t last If you continue down this dark path Death’s cold embrace, you’ll feel its wrath Going out with a Glasgow smile Lay to rest your past so vile Hammer in the final nail Be done…Bury your dead Waiting for the things that will never be The past haunts you constantly Looking at the world as something in which to confide Tonight, all that is good and pure in you will die Close the doors you left wide open Like wounds in a stuck pig, life pouring out Digging my own grave never felt so comforting But if my time never comes…Bury me alive All bonds are broken The mystery left unsolved Comes back to haunt you All ties are severed Pulled tight, then snapped Naivety is so damn sweet The past will come to haunt you And kill all things that you thought true Move on, put it six feet under Walk away; take no part in her blunder Going out with a Glasgow smile Lay to rest your past so vile Hammer in the final nail Be done…BURY YOUR DEAD

Broken, cast into the shadows I feel the rage boiling inside Pain eating me alive You won’t make it out with your life Waiting, I watch those around me Contemplate the choice of my surroundings Think about my place in reality The outside is not where I belong Cast out from the rest Can’t seem to find my place I cannot exist in this race Wicked are those who succumb To the pressures placed upon us Pressures that weigh down on me I shall not give into thee Marvel at the sight of those who’ve fallen Their minds enslaved, controlled to the grave Mutilated, the face of society I’d rather die than be a part Cast out from the rest Can’t seem to find my place I cannot exist in this race We shall now rise!

The Fallen 04:48
Slip the noose around your neck and slit your wrists with promises Of new life, rebirth, false hope and assurance that he gives a damn about you. Would you give your life to the one that could not be? Would you sacrifice it all for petty belief? (YES!) Then be smited by the hands of social degradation (NO!) Then feel the wrath of words unspoken and proof unseen. These hellish visions torment me I lose my grasp on reality I try to hold on but cannot find the strength Here I shall lay and forever remain blank The question arises at all the wrong times, but they seem so right. When you feel so down, but wanna be up, he’s always there to comfort you But when you come to your senses, you feel he’s just another façade And when he doesn’t say *I love you* you say *Fuck him* These hellish visions torment me I lose my grasp on reality I try to hold on but cannot find the strength Here I shall lay and forever remain blank
