1. The Sin And The Sentence

I heard the passing bells calling out my name.
I knew I'd never see another day!
I couldn't swim, against the tides of blame.
I knew there was no other way!

You better practice your lines,
you better practice your words.
I know that real monsters lie,
between the light and the shade.

It doesn't matter,
what you say or feel.
When honest men become deranged,
they'll genuflect to a lie.

The sin and the sentence,
penance in the fire!
The sin and the sentence,
the flames grip your throat.

The sin and the sentence,
penance in the fire!
The sin and the sentence,
the flames grip your throat.

I saw their dagger eyes staring back at me,
I knew I'd never have a chance to plead.
Guilty, but in the sight of fallen men,
they bury you before you speak.

The sin and the sentence!

You better practice your lines,
you better practice your words.
I know that real monsters lie,
between the light and the shade.

It doesn't matter,
what you say or feel.

The sin and the sentence,
penance in the fire!
The sin and the sentence,
the flames grip your throat.

The sin and the sentence,
penance in the fire!
The sin and the sentence,
the flames grip your throat.

Beware those who speak in tongues,
for they may call your name!

You condemn me,
because you don't understand me!
You condemn me,
because you don't understand me!

They'll genuflect to a lie!

The sin and the sentence,
penance in the fire!
The sin and the sentence,
the flames grip your throat.

The sin and the sentence,
penance in the fire!
The sin and the sentence,
the flames grip your throat.

Beware those who speak in tongues,
for they may call your name!

You condemn me,
because you don't understand me!
You condemn me,
because you don't understand me...

Fuck!

The sin and the sentence,
penance in the fire!
The sin and the sentence,
the flames grip your throat.

2. Beyond Oblivion

These graves are cold and empty,
he knew it's where we'd soon reside.
The waves recede so gently,
they only left the sands of time.

What have we done...

To the future we run,
headlong without question.
Creations devised,
to put an end to all life.

A dead road, a dark sun,
now waits beyond oblivion.
A dead road, a dark sun,
now waits beyond oblivion.

These shadows sleep so soundly,
appalled he now averts his eyes.
Disgraced he felt so empty,
entrusting us with our demise.

What have we done...

To the future we run,
headlong without question.
Creations devised,
to put an end to all life.

A dead road, a dark sun,
now waits beyond oblivion.

what have we done?
Creations devised,
beyond oblivion.

A dead road, a dark sun,
now waits beyond oblivion.
A dead road, a dark sun,
now waits beyond oblivion.

3. Other Worlds

We're dreaming in color,
believing no other.
No other...

Is there hope to break through,
all the walls built around you?
You're like a song within a nightmare,
a thought within a scream.

Dim the world,
a glassy stare, face to face now.
Do you even care to try to understand,
where we went wrong or how it seems?

We're dreaming in color,
believing no other.
Because we're living in other worlds,
breathing in other worlds.

We're dreaming in color,
believing no other.
Because we're living in other worlds,
breathing in other worlds.

Broken mast, shipwrecked mind,
future sinks by design.
You're like a song within a nightmare,
a thought within a scream.

Lost our minds,
lost our way, face to face now.
Do you even care to try to understand,
where we went wrong or how it seems?

We're dreaming in color,
believing no other.
Because we're living in other worlds,
breathing in other worlds.

We're dreaming in color,
believing no other.
Because we're living in other worlds,
breathing in other worlds.

Someone wake me from this nightmare,
I can't even tell what's real.
Someone wake me from this nightmare,
I can't even tell what's real.

We're dreaming in color,
but we're living in other worlds.
Breathing in other worlds!

4. The Heart From Your Hate

What will it take?
What will it take,
to rip the heart from your hate?

It's easy to be right,
when everything repeats.
It's easier to cut us down,
and point at our defeat.

It's easy to be right,
when everything repeats.
Dig below the surface,
find your insecurities.

Tell me...

Maybe you were right,
maybe I was wrong.
But I've been silent,
for far too long.

Maybe you were right,
maybe I should go.
But I've been silent,
for far too long.

What will it take,
to rip the heart from your hate?
What will it take?
What will it take,
to rip the heart from your hate?

You always walk away,
soon you'll have to face it.
Your distance from reality,
won't bury or erase it.

I tried to do the same,
living so complacent.
But the problems wouldn't go away,
so I turned around to face them.

Tell me...

Maybe you were right,
maybe I was wrong.
But I've been silent,
for far too long.

Maybe you were right,
maybe I should go.

5. Betrayer

Betrayer!
Betrayer!

I say betrayer, swear I've given you so much.
Naysayer, I watch as you just lapped it up.
Unwilling, addicted to be without dignity.
A cheater, you thrive on lechery.

I don't know what I expected,
was our time even real?
Your callous heart never seemed affected,
does a liar even know how to feel?

Unto you I proclaim,
Creonte shall be your name!

I'll never be a victim for you,
I'll never be a fool.
I'll never be a victim!

Betrayer...

You're calculating!
I know you know exactly,
what you're doing.
Your selfishness your only cause!

A fake, a farce,
you had us all convinced.
No guilt, no heart, no love,
no conscience held!

Unto you I proclaim,
Creonte shall be your name!

I'll never be a victim for you,
I'll never be a fool.
I'll never be a victim!

Betrayer...

Time will not mend!
All these mistakes have now brought forth,
the end for you, my friend.

Time will not mend!

6. The Wretchedness Inside

Submerged in dirt but it was never enough,
to quell the fire in the back of my lungs.
My bones are aching and my head is a mess,
they said to run but I'm obsessed with the madness.

This blood I bleed, I bleed for you!
I paint the walls with my misery.
This blood I bleed, I bleed for me!
I can not live if I can't breathe.

The part I can't control,
I can't destroy.
The wretchedness inside!

The wretchedness inside of you.
The wretchedness inside of me.

Consigned to hurt but it was never enough,
to bury feelings that will surely return.
My heart is aching, and my God, I'm a mess,
I'll never run cause I'm obsessed with the madness.

This blood I bleed, I bleed for you!
I paint the walls with my misery.
This blood I bleed, I bleed for me!
I can not live if I can't breathe.

The part I can't control,
I can't destroy.
The wretchedness inside!

The wretchedness inside of you.
The wretchedness inside of me.
I cannot control, I cannot destroy,
in Hell can I confide.

The wretchedness inside of you,
in Hell can I confide.
The wretchedness inside of me!

How did it come to this,
how the fuck did it come to this?
Our love and hate collide,
in all this dissonance.

How did it come to this,
how the fuck did it come to this?
Our love and hate collide,
in all this dissonance.

Fuck you!

How did it come to this,
how the fuck did it come to this?
Our love and hate collide,
in all this dissonance.

7. Endless Night

Is it a sin to miss the Hell,
that you survived with best of friends?
At worst of times, I never got the answer.

They never told me, if you're not careful,
what doesn't kill you can control you.
Now it defines me and it reminds me,
that it will never let me go.

If we share the pain,
then maybe we won't have,
to bury memories away.

I try to change,
but the dawn escapes again.
I'm fight another endless night!

When it gets dark I can not breathe,
it's only the sound of grinding teeth.
Afraid of the silence,
and it's lurking violence.

Your empty words, the feigned concern.
We go through the motions, I never return.
Because it still defines me and it reminds me,
that it will never let me go.

If we share the pain,
then maybe we won't have,
to bury memories away.

I try to change,
but the dawn escapes again.
I'm fight another endless night!

I try to change,
but the dawn escapes again.
I'm fight another endless night!

Is it a sin to miss the Hell,
that you survived with best of friends?

When it gets dark I can not breathe,
it's only the sound of grinding teeth.
Afraid of the silence...

I'm fight another endless night!

8. Sever The Hand

Liturgies and prophecies,
they mean nothing to me.
I believe in substance,
not the patterns that you see.

Life burns me alive!
Life burns me alive!

Straws you grip so tightly,
now becoming your own noose.
Story collapsing, ask yourself,
can you hang from your own truth?

Life burns me alive!
Life burns me alive!

Sever the hand,
of any god or man.
Sever the hand,
to free yourself again.

Free yourself again!

Sever the hand,
of any god or man.
Sever the hand,
to free yourself again.

Free yourself again!

Mindlessly crawling,
you're choked by a leash.
Seeking redemption,
you practice and preach.

Cognitive failure,
your sickness reveals.
The horror and panic,
exposing what's real.

Life burns me alive!
Life burns me alive!

Sever the hand,
of any god or man.
Sever the hand,
to free yourself again.

Free yourself again!

Sever the hand,
of any god or man.
Sever the hand,
to free yourself again.

Free yourself again!

9. Beauty In The Sorrow

Can we make sense of it all?
The lies our fathers told,
to find the beauty in the sorrow.

So young,
did it even matter?
So young,
did it even matter?

It felt so strange,
living in my grave.
Count each breath,
waiting to expire.

Remember home,
dying here alone.
Hollow words,
anthems from the choir.

Can we make sense of it all?
The lies our fathers told,
to find the beauty in the sorrow.

The lies they told!
Can we make sense of it all,
the beauty in the sorrow.

So young,
did it even matter?
So young,
did it even matter?

It felt so strange,
looking at your grave.
An early end,
I read letters to remember.

So I moved on,
or so the story goes.
Shots rang out,
red flowers a reminder.

Can we make sense of it all?
The lies our fathers told,
to find the beauty in the sorrow.

The beauty in the sorrow...

So young,
did it even matter?
So young,
did it even matter?

Can we make sense of it all?
The lies our fathers told,
to find the beauty in the sorrow.

The lies they told!
Can we make sense of it all,
the beauty in the sorrow.

10. The Revanchist

I've been waiting here,
on the outside.
I've been watching you,
from afar.

The color of your fear,
confusion deep inside.
Resentment boils over,
in me you can confide.

You say you've lost your world,
you day you've lost your faith.
I'll be the shelter in the dark,
clothe you in my hate!

Profiteers and preachers,
sycophants and leachers!

The Revanchist,
his thoughts become mine.
How deep they become intertwined!

He said:
Submit for salvation,
submit for salvation.
The age old lie!

Submit for salvation!

I've been calling you,
from the twilight.
I've been pushing you,
to the edge.

The way you say my name,
the poison on your tongue.
The lies they tell, pay no mind,
I am the only one.

You never turned your back,
you didn't need to see.
Because even in the dead of night,
you found your way to me!

Profiteers and preachers,
sycophants and leachers!

The Revanchist,
his thoughts become mine.
How deep they become intertwined!

He said:
Submit for salvation,
submit for salvation.
The age old lie!

Submit for salvation!

I've been waiting here,
on the outside.
I've been watching you,
from afar.

The color of your fear,
confusion deep inside.
Resentment boils over,

You say you've lost your world,
you day you've lost your faith.
I'll be the shelter in the dark,
clothe you in my hate!

Profiteers and preachers,
sycophants and leachers!

The Revanchist,
his thoughts become mine.
How deep they become intertwined!

He said:
Submit for salvation,
submit for salvation.
The age old lie!

He said:
Submit for salvation,
submit for salvation.
The age old lie!

Submit for salvation!

11. Thrown Into The Fire

Forgive them Father,
for they not know.
My gospel of greed,
is all for show.

I'd be thrown into the fire,
if they ever learned the truth.
And the congregation weeps!

Will you save us,

Forgive me Father,
lust knows no bounds.
I service my needs,
on hallowed grounds.

if they ever learned the truth.
And the congregation weeps!
