PEARLS BEFORE THE SWINE

PEARLS BEFORE THE SWINE

Lie in this state
Of perdition
Never to awake
It negates
An admission
Stricken by fate

There's no salvation it dwells in your bones
There's no remission this sickness it owns
Make love to denial her sober embrace
Nails they've embedded never to release

In madness we shall reign
Down out
In madness we shall reign

Hail Mary our divine
Littered souls across a great divide
In our obsession thou cast pearls before the swine

I numb it down
Heavens fleeting kiss envelops thee
It surrounds
So in vain we stab at the beast

Count the 12 times you step equal 12 times you fail
No abstination relapse tip the scale
As you swallow the hook
And you chew on the line
Choke on the sinker
In this sea of lies

In madness we shall reign

Hail Mary our divine
Littered souls across a great divide
In our obsession thou cast pearls before the swine

Broke vows and broken rosaries
Bind these rusted hopeless dreams
Broke vows and broken rosaries
Bind these rusted hands in prayer
Faith trust and love are mowed down lonely
In these killing fields

Deep in the throes of addiction
Now my blood's running black
My fixation is caught in it's clutches
As the sun sets on my soul
In endless twilight
It is eclipsed

Hail Mary our divine
Littered souls across a great divide
In our obsession thou cast pearls before the swine

Slowly we dance with temptation
Good intentions are sold
For the price of fool's gold and sedation
Take now this demon by it's hand
And slice it off

Hail Mary our divine
Littered souls across a great divide
In our obsession thou cast pearls before the swine

Take the ache beneath my bones
Peel the skin away and leave my body exposed
No grace awaits this broken soul

RAINING BLOOD - SLAYER

RAINING BLOOD - SLAYER

Trapped in purgatory
A lifeless object, alive
Awaiting reprisal
Death will be their acquisition

The sky is turning red
Return to power draws near
Fall into me, the sky's crimson tears
Abolish the rules made of stone

Pierced from below, souls of my treacherous past
Betrayed by many, now ornaments dripping above

Awaiting the hour of reprisal
Your time slips away

Raining blood
From a lacerated sky
Bleeding it's horror
Creating my structure

SICK OF YOU

SICK OF YOU

One more time you've
gotten into my head
I've let your words get
into me
Every time I try to talk,
you never listen
You got the answers,
I don't know a thing
But you ask me what these
lights are in my eyes
They're a freight train
ahead
And they're straight
coming your way
You've tied yourself down
to the tracks
Now you want help from me
to cut you free
If it was me
my hour of need
You'd leave me there to
bleed
I'm fucking sick of you
and all that shit you're
pulling
Your fuckin' attitude
had better go on
You cheat and you lie
and you stole and denied
And you turned on your
friends
when you burned all those
bridges
This time you won't be
getting under my skin
What you had I've taken
away
Tell me what you're gonna
do, it doesn't matter
You're always talking, it
don't mean a thing
So ask me what these
lights are in my eyes
They're a freight train
ahead
And they're straight
coming your way
You've tied yourself down
to the tracks
Now you want help from me
to cut you free
If it was me
my hour of need
You'd leave me there to
bleed
I'm fucking sick of you
and all that shit you're
pulling
Your fuckin' attitude
had better go on
You cheat and you lie
and you stole and denied
And you turned on your
friends
when you burned all those
bridges
Well you sat there and
cried
As these words came to
glide
through your delicate skin
leaving blood on these
pages
So how does it feel
to be at one with the fate I
seal
They're a freight train
ahead
And they're straight
coming your way
You've tied yourself down
to the tracks
Now you want help from
me to cut you free
If it was me
my hour of need
You'd leave me there
to bleed
I'm fucking sick of you
and all that shit you're
pulling
Your fuckin' attitude
had better go on
You cheat and you lie
and you stole and denied
And you turned on your
friends
when you burned all those
bridges.

SILVER

SILVER

Yes, I hold some keys of gold
A cigarrette, a silver bullet
Angels cry and devils lie
The world is our stage
Look inside and try and find
The part of me that tore
I wish I knew what I go through
Behind...

Take my hand across this land
Escape this, all hell inside
Create this man to make my stand
And break this hardened shell inside

I see the man in me
The lines along my face are drawn in
I believe reflections bleed
The sorrows of the souls
Let me know the hurt that shows
And wish it all away
Cos now you'll see what is paining me
Collide...

CHORUS

I see the walls around me fall around me
And everything's alright
I see the god amoung me fall amoung me
And everything's beside
I see the walls around you, tie and bound
You drown cos you're so cold..
Cold..
Cold..

CHORUS
So take my hand and cross this land
And break this hardned shell in,
Hardened shell in,
Hardened shell inside...

SPINE

SPINE

Bitterness infested,
justice is molested
Govern my contested ways
As a child arrested,
as a man detested
Happiness inside my pain

You hate my life
Because you see my strife
Could never understand or try
It makes me mad
Because it makes me sad
But I don't care why

You fake it, mistake it
Fuck it away
Your lying is trying
My dignity

I see right through your soul
Can't help but feel this cold
But this city made me so

Life filled with deception,
unwanted inception
Want redemption for it all
All my life
frustrated, pushed, alienated
Wait for me to take a fall

My faith has waned
Because I feel the strain
In my eyes it's all gone wrong
We'll rise above
From this lack of love
It won't be long now

You fake it, mistake it
Fuck it away
Your lying is trying
My dignity

I see right through your soul
Can't help but feel this cold
But this city made me so

Lead: Logan

I'm not the only one
Can't be the only one

No

STRUCK A NERVE

STRUCK A NERVE

Give me power to end all of the strife
Courage to kill the pro-life

I don't want to see
You can't change me
You tell me not to bow
Just follow for now
You're oh so holier than thou

The more things change
The more they stay the same
The more things change
The more they stay the same
The more - things change
The more - they stay - the same

Give me patience
to deal with all the strain
Balance to take the
fuckin' pain

I don't want to fake

And I won't break
We're too happy to be
In our apathy
We smile single
file to the line

The more things change
The more they stay the same
The more things change
The more they stay the same
The more - things change
The more - they stay - the same

So c'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon
We gotta wake up
You don't know you're right
Your right from wrong
We gotta wake up

Electricity is pulsing
through our veins a charge

A chain reaction through

Charge me, charge you
charge us, charge through
Supercharger

TAKE MY SCARS

TAKE MY SCARS

It's been around for a thousand years
And it'll be here for plenty more
It is the face hidden in disgrace
That has become now an open sore

It is a false messiah
It is the face of pain
The bringer of the bittersweet
The heretic insane

Take my scars
Through hands of God
I found a better way
To break the walls

Fed all the lies and desensitized
Taught to believe that it is the way
Taught to divide and exactly why
You'll never understand my rage

You've never had to borrow
You've never had to steal
You eat it with your silver spoon
For me it's real

Take my scars
Through hands of God
I found a better way
To break the walls

Lead: Robb

Blood and concrete
Piss and wine
Whores that fuck
To feel divine

They'll clean their needles
In their shrine
In ignorance
It's bliss you find

Why can't you
fuckin' open
Open up your eyes

 

[fox69]

THE BLOOD, THE SWEAT, THE TEARS

THE BLOOD, THE SWEAT, THE TEARS

Yes I walk the righteous
Many men have walked before
And this pain's held
A broken shell
Straight shackled onto the floor

So welcome to the world
That I lived in
Puking up bile and hate
My world has turned
To false inclusion
Sickening broken state

But then I'll see
There's things in me
That make you want it
More than you

But I deny all this
Cause pain was my bliss
Get wasted on self destruct

Just hold on to the edge

It's all about
The blood, the sweat, the tears
Attribute to the strength
Built through the years

Yes I walk the path
That gives me
Confidence strong and pure
Now I realize
That freedom rises
From confronting the source

I built these walls around me
And I can break them all away
I'll focus all the strength I call
Into unstoppable energy

so hold on to the edge

It's all about
The blood, the sweat, the tears
Attribute to the strength
Built through the years

Hold on
I'm not falling
Not falling down again

It's all about
The blood, the sweat, the tears
Attribute to the strength
Built through the years

Believe me that
Time will sear the wound
Time will sear the wound
Time will seal the wound

THE POSSIBILITY OF LIFE'S DESTRUCTION

THE POSSIBILITY OF LIFE'S DESTRUCTION

Can you hear the sound of an enormous door slamming in the depths of Hell?
The possibility of Life's destruction
Can you hear the cries of pain, the mournful sound?
The possibility of life's destruction

Can you hear the sound of an enormous door slamming in the depths of Hell?
The possibility of Life's destruction
Can you hear the cries of pain, the mournful sound?
