1. Fearless Sky With God, in chaos, with sorrow to tame us Reach for the symbol of your world The shroud, of pathos, each symptom inflames us Preaching the symbol of the scourge To a fearless sky Gold until death, theory lies in our distress To a fearless sky Gold until death, bleary eyes from our regrets To a fearless sky We’re fraught with danger, defiance our saviour Redeeming principles on mass This shrine impales us, each traitor regales us Preaching a sentimental dirge To a fearless sky Gold until death, endearing die from all regrets To a fearless sky Gold until death, theory lies in our distress To the fearless sky With God, in chaos, will sorrow long to tame us? Reach for the symbol of your world We hail true belief as life’s unveiled! To receive repentance, as the choir laments us We’ll slay non-believers night and day To receive the sentence with a fire of vengeance (Crawling hypocrisy will fade away) We rise again (The dawning of honesty will fade away) We ride against the frail (Crawling hypocrisy will fade away) We rise again (The dawning of honesty will fade away) We ride against the frail Life’s contempt, a life of trial to unrest, vilified I resent, morbid times so oppressed, soul divine Lies torment, as I try to confess to a fearless sky With God, in chaos, with sorrow to tame us Reach for the symbol of your world The shroud, of pathos, each symptom inflames us Preaching the symbol of the scourge To a fearless sky Gold until death, theory lies in our distress To a fearless sky 2. Gods of Ancient As Gods creations fail through honesty One last salvation returns again decayed Scorn through desperation Searing devastation The strong collapsing in my wake Heed the Gods of ancient begin their reign The Gods of ancient begin their reign Evolved damnation, pains insanity Our lost salvation we spurn, condemn, we slay Scorn through deprivation Free the condemnation The strong collapsing in my wake Heed the Gods of ancient begin their reign The Gods of ancient begin their reign Crawling through fire Fear the others, fear the others that rise Fear among us, until the end you’re despised Learning the order to kill, heeding the stars constellations Feeding on blood that is spilled Fearing the stars as we’re ordered to rise Fear the others, fear the others that rise Fear among us, until the end you’re despised The strong, collapsing in my wake Heed the Gods of ancient begin their reign The strong, collapsing in my wake Heed the Gods of ancient begin their reign 3. From the Gallows Born in duress Timeless the snare Reading the speeches of ancient Blood on their hands Speaking the words of long dead Armistice is made Sing from the gallows in shame Honour is stained Born into life Glory in death Upon the gallows you swing Timeless the end Born into life Glory in death Upon the gallows you swing A timeless lament They fear us, the fallen fear our pride Come fear us, the dead are destined to remind 4. The Longest Winter The long lost winter, acceptance woes A lasting slumber, a sickness flows The last of summer, the longing rivers froze A grasping hunger, as darkness grows Feeling so alive in this hopeless dream Feeling so alive in this hopeless dream We're the ones who pay with honour Your pain rejected, your holy symbols inane Your honour remains infected again The frost of winter, acceptance shows A grasping hunger, as fever grows At last the summer, the longing rivers flow A lasting thunder, as darkness grows Feeling so alive in this hopeless dream Feeling so alive in this hopeless dream We're the ones who pay with honour A malediction, your holy symbols inane Will honour remain rejected again? 5. Medusa Agony, inside desire that yearns no longer Memories, burning the fire that made you stronger The life that blinded me divided me forever bleeds Divisive blinded deed the spineless we can never reach Heresy, into a wilderness they wander Tragedy, a perished heart that aches you conquered The life that I must lead the heartless one that never sleeps Endeavour to receive the strong, the brave, the empathy Pretenders to the throne Their willing turns to stone This life – the last, the principle has lapsed This life – the last, a yearning to relapse This life – the last, the principle has passed This life – the last, a yearning to relapse Pretenders to the throne Their willing turns to stone This life – the last, the principle has lapsed This life – the last, a yearning to relapse This life – the last, the principle has passed This life – the last, a yearning to relapse 6. No Passage for the Dead Fear above, we fear below Severe the jaws, I raise myself from my darkest woes Ordeals of love, reveal the lows Severe the cause, I turn myself from the prophets world Break the chain, rise inane, fall to me Rise again, fall to me To read these words of a zealous god Bleeding away streams of consciousness Resist the will of all men of cloth Freedom suppressed from the saddest depths Chasing scorn away Dominions of our guardian’s dreams Foreseeing all this flesh and blood We try, no passage for the dead, we die Break the chain, rise inane, fall to me Rise again, fall to me 7. Blood & Chaos ’til the night’s still cold unrest ’til the feast of blood and chaos To the grave, as this plague won’t wash away If there’s a price we had to pay There’s no controlling, there’s no one else left to blame If there is a vice with no constraints Mankind corroding, there’s no one else left to hate My inner God, in utter chaos A severed fraud, stripped away My inner God, forgotten pathos Cindery cross, is ripped away distained ’til the nights still cold unrest ’til the feast of blood and chaos To the grave, as this plague won’t wash away If there’s a price we had to pay There’s no consoling, the threat is just endless shame If there is vice with no constraints Mankind corroding, there’s no one else left to hate My inner God, in utter chaos My inner God, stripped away My inner God, in utter chaos Cindery cross, ripped away distained ’til the nights still cold unrest ’til the feast of blood and chaos To the grave, as this plague won’t wash away If there’s a price we had to pay There’s no controlling, there’s nothing else left to say If there is vice with no constraints Mankind corroding, there’s no one else left to hate Mankind corroding, there’s no one else left to hate 8. Until the Grave A million die Crowded tombs where once we laid The deadest eyes Still engaged, as one afraid The thrall obey Return the ashes the widow enraged The walls enslaved Return the ending, a veil of dismay The night follows day Save your prayers, divided ’til the grave (Divided ’til the grave) The dreaded sky Abandoned rooms where one remains A shredded cry Blood ingrained where once, we prayed The walls enslaved Return the ashes the widow enraged The thrall obey Return the ending, a veil of decay The night follows day Save your prayers, divided ’til the grave (Divided ’til the grave) Control, obey Return the ashes the widow enraged The walls enslaved Return the ending, a veil of dismay The night follows day Save your prayers, divided ’til the grave (Divided ’til the grave) Divided ’til the grave Lyrics in plain text format |
