Break in the Sky Light
07:05
|
|||
Count your blessings
And change the dressings on your heart
It's all fallen apart
As the seas they rise to meet the skies
The blood flooded their arks
I gaze with my eye, I see inside
The depths of the darkest sea
Nothing can be hidden from me
I have been found
My spine's been rebound
Open up and you will see
All the words written inside of me
Look at me
My ink it bleeds a bloodstained red onto you
Blinded by the sheer power of truth
I am overhead and I am behind
I'm running
While you're running out of time
|

Sizing up the interference
Standing in the shadow
Of eyes towering above my head
Stares piercing through the night
Owls glaring with some
Hidden insight
Their coos invite
"No way through," they insist and they hiss at me
Lumbering through the foliage
Passing through the leaves into
The garden hidden
A place now forbidden
Secret creeping under
The moon, the watchful eyes spy never asking why
"It's too soon"
They ruminate at the gate
So we sit upon the stones
Wonder if we are here alone
(Watchful eyes tell careful lies)
Spies sitting in the trees
Watching, seeing, calculating
(I know our camp is filled with spies)
Don't you think I know you're there
I could spot you anywhere
(Watchful eyes tell careful lies)
I feel the burning of their eyes
I know our camp is filled with spies
(I know our camp is filled with spies)
Oh my god, be careful
(Be careful)
Now more than ever
(More than ever)
They'll pull your guard down
(Pull your guard down)
Ease your confession
(Your confession)
Like night they'll climb upon you
(Climb upon you)
The heavy heel of death
(Heel of death)
They'll weigh down upon you
(Down upon you)
Choke out your last breath
(Last breath)
There is no return from the error of concern for spies

Fly With Me
04:51
|
|||
Open the page and gaze with me
A preview of what is to be
Look into my eyes and see
See
Burned out under the sky lights
The stars blaze out in the night
The fire is still in my eyes
Because I am alive
Tear down their gods from their firmament
Crumbling like dust in my hand
Built up so tall, the pantheons fall
All across this land
In your darkest hour they will betray you
Blind, deaf, and mute, you know they can't say anything
Monstrous bleeding mouths enveloped in carnage
And I'm tired of the pain you bring
Fly with me, with these wings
Fly with me, you're free
Eat your words, your lies
On your knees you'll try to deny
"I never meant it that way"
But we knew what you'd say
Running as fast as you can
You can't escape from His hand
Because our God is real
And He's near and He's ill
Mend our broken bones from the dust we're gathered
As you pale away to stone, mortified, you know the end is near
Scream out in your dread, shred your heart to pieces
But nothing will stop the fear
Fly with me, with these wings
Fly with me, you're free
|

Measuring my breathing, saving up my breath
Draining out the poison running from my head
I know I do not care about this anymore
The work is getting harder, my hands are getting sore
My chest is filled with darkness
My eyes are filled with smoke
And I am burning up
From lies which you have spoke
My chest is filled with fire
Heart is burning through
Ashamed dwelt in your cinders
As ashen dreams come true
The sky becomes a furnace when I open my mouth
I call down your destruction, my power raining down
Your empire is fallen: its stones upon your head
And eat my indignation, indulgence you are fed
|

Go Away
04:38
|
|||
Everyday I pray
For the way to be made
All that I want to see
I beg to be laid before me
Every day is the same
I try but I cannot escape
All that I wanted to say
Is locked in my mouth far away
Come down to me and set me free
Oh, Jesus, I call to thee
I need to be
Everyday is a struggle
To overcome the darkness inside
The wheels of confusion come
To twist around my mind
Go away, go away
Go away, go away
Go away, go away
Go away, go away
|

Uncertain
04:23
|
|||
I push back the ghosts
The wraiths that grab my arms
Voices in my ears
They lurk to do me harm
The sand is running out
This masquerade is wearing thin
Time keeps drudging on
I just want this to end
So uncertain about the time
But I'm unburdened by these chords that bind
Will I be prepared or
Clambering through growing dark?
Am I standing still?
Am I stagnant, void of art?
Am I avoiding truth?
Did I turn away my head?
It's all too soon to tell
Just a violent whiff of dread
So uncertain about my role to play
Am I saying what I need to say
All that I know
Is that I must go
Time will make no
Exception for me
The empires will fall
And I'll see it all
The stars have withdrawn
Their shining to see
So uncertain like we all must be
I have the power, my faith is the key
|

Digging
04:23
|
|||
Don't whirpool me down
Lied without a sound
Breaking through the barrier wall
Something has come to call
I will stand until my end
I'll not falter nor will I bend
Try and break me down again
I'll bleed but I'll survive
The wheel
Spinning, spinning
Around, around, around
Digging into the ground
The ground, the ground, the ground
Deep down, dig deep, unknown, what's found
You found, you found
Ancient, barren
Lost and unbound, unbound, unbound
Death, oh Death
Pull your sickle out of my chest
My time's not yet
So don't be so greedy
Open the doors wide
I am about to walk inside
Be ready for me
I know I will be
You want to talk about time
You want to know why: the reason and rhyme
The leaves are falling off the trees
The season is plain to see
The dark devoured up the young
Time's sharp teeth and dancing tongue
Stomp your feet to my heartbeat
The answer is sure to come
So keep, digging, deeper, deeper
Tearing apart
Find out what's down inside
The dark, the dark, the dark
Quiet, silent, table
It bears its teeth to smile
The dress, the guests, the feast
Come roam with me a while
Set me free from this foaming sea
I want to be, I need to be
And you will let me
I will not be stopped
I'll shred you down to the bone
Burn down your oh-so-mighty thrones
Shattered crown overthrown
Fallen from the top

Eats You Alive
04:19
|
|||
Out in the open they pray, they prey
Close our eyes, turn away
Disciples obey, they tame and they cage
Following in the order, the role they play
Wilting dry underneath the remnant
Sky scattered leaves
Overwhelming
Hollow within the trunk
Hidden in this tree
I hope they don't find me
Battered heart beats blood cold as ice
Their ambition eats you alive
Frozen killers draw out their knives
Lick their lips and smile
Disappointment, shattered inside
No surprise they'll eat you alive
It's the supper that you've supplied
Devourers with wounded eyes
Oh their gaping jaws open wide
Consuming everything, they draw it all inside
Unbelievable but undenied
Ballooning ego mind, a sin they cannot hide
Pull you knives out, scream up at God
Carve until you have all you can bear
Stuff the rotted meat in your cheeks
You'll never want with all this despair
I will reach down inside and pull you out
Of the belly of the beast
Come we'll be delivered from this horror
We'll turn our foes into feast

Anticipation
05:08
|
|||
I know I run too fast
That I outrun my feet
But this anticipation is killing me
And now I'm weak with hunger
This gnawing cuts through me
Cause this anticipation is killing me
Deep inside there is a hunger
My desire tears asunder
Impatient I start to wonder
How long must we wait?
Inside me I have the power
Waiting for that final hour
Fire longing to devour
How long must I wait?
Selfishly I wait with jealousy
Longing for the end
Trembling with dreams
Overflowing from me
Eager to begin
I am prepared while you are afraid
Death's door opening is my escape
I am not bound by your charade
I will not participate
Oh how I long for the day to come
I want the sky blocked out
Oh how I long for my eyes to see the sun
Covered by the shadow of doubt
So give me wisdom
And give me eyes to see
The devil standing in front of me
Counted the number
The volume of the sea
Now standing face to face
With my enemy

The Water Deep
04:44
|
|||
It all melted in my hands
Every one of my plans
All my future
Stolen away with the wind
Like dust was swept in
To the earth again
Time takes everything
The rot wears down the tree
The roots die when they drink
From the water deep
Tainted by the song
The words all spilled out wrong
Confused, deaf, and enthralled
From the water deep
It all melted in my mind
Something awoke inside
There's something in my eye
A voice chattered in my head
I don't know what it said
But it won't shut up
Golden embraced my mind
The light inside
Nowhere to hide
Inside, something's watching me
The eyes that see
Never free
So go be free
Be free from me
I'm bound dead in this tree
Drinking from the water deep
Boil up burning sea
Raging waves cover me
The hour shows its teeth
As we drown within the water deep
|

Weight
05:22
|
|||
I've been buried down here for so long
For so long
Packed in the dirt here for so long
So long
I need to breathe
The weight is crushing me
I scratch to get free
Underneath unbearably
Reach for a sign
Look out for time
Can't bear the weight
Feel my back breaking
How long must we wait
To satiate
Oh Jesus soon
Free me from this tomb
This world has shackled me
All I long to be is free
Can't bear the weight
Getting impatient
So open the gates
The hour is late
How many days
How long must we wait, forever?
Sealed in our fate
Our blood cries out from the grave
|
||||
12. |

Diamonds in the stormy sky
Shine bright kaleidoscope eyes
Transfixed on myth, televised
Glimpsed their wings this swarm of flies
A heartbeat like a man
But the heart of man
Is like unto
The beast
The heart of man can't understand
The sorrow branded in their hand
The definition of suffering bound inside their reach
Diamonds shine bright
But the king of hearts is bleeding
The black heart on the robe
At the altar of the spade they are kneeling
Standing at the mouth of the bottomless pit
Bellowing smoke fills the air, the dark of an endless abyss
Released and deceased impeding upon
The endless night by which mankind has reached
The wish of peace, the scar of compromise
Unmending inside their wounds
This tomb they've build themselves
Inside a hollow room
Unending revolutions spin
Round and round and round and round
|

Suffocating
04:46
|
|||
Buried me alive, don't think I'll survive
Trapped down, down into the ground
Bound by the dirt, I struggle but it hurts
To break free of this curse, this grave, this earth
Suffocating I try but I cannot breathe
Suffocating I reach but cannot find relief
Suffocating is this the end of me?
Suffocating underneath all of this grief
I try, try to find my way out, my way out
I pray and I reach for the light
But a thousand pounds heaped upon, upon me
Everytime I try to fight
My heart's full of rage, I'll break out of this cage
Don't be surprised by what I might say
My mind full of haze, this barrier placed
I won't be subdued, I will not be phased
Suffocating oh the hands pull me down
Suffocating desperately they reach for me
Suffocating from jilted wings
Suffocating from the rotted seed
|

Our Time Is Short
04:48
|
|||
Take a breath and take a step
Beyond my understanding
Rattle shadows from my eyes
To see I am demanding
We are running out of time
The clocks are turning faster
The sun the moon the sky the stars
Are racing toward the hour
We call you from upon our knees
The sky is painted platinum
The air is poisonous and we
Are screaming in a vacuum
Tear our heads off from our necks
We know it will be done
Thirst will never be quenched
There is a taste for blood
|

Thieves in the Night
04:16
|
|||
Pray for the day, that it all goes away
Pray and you'll pray and you'll pray and you'll pray
But it's coming to stay, coming to stay
The darkness it washes, it washes away
Pick me up out of this haze
The blistering blaze of my enemy's gaze
Their darkness will bind, a grip on my time
But the sand rushes by, it keeps rushing by
So, upward we climb (echoed in time)
Confusion is blind (nothing will rhyme)
We're thieves in the night (thieves in the night)
Thieves in the night (thieves in the night)
You've nestled me in this heart of stone
You've made this heaven-less hell your home
But now you cry out, you scream and moan
Oh God, how didn't you know?
You pray and wish the sky away
Blew out the candles this dying day
But we've been bleeding the words to say
To take what remains
So, upward we climb (echoed in time)
Confusion is blind (nothing will rhyme)
We're thieves in the night (thieves in the night)
Thieves in the night (thieves in the night)
Skirt out the shadows in silhouette
As the hour slinked toward Bethlehem
And the star doth blow at the precipice
To be born again
The world defeated fell at their knees
At the altar of this slouching beast
Oh, the king in waiting is speaking peace
This is the end
|

Son of the Morning
04:15
|
|||
Do you smell the summer breeze
Drifting through
Through the trees
The sound of gnawing bugs
Eat the leaves
The hour hand's around my throat
Strangled and it won't let go
More confused than seeing straight
Shut up now, I know it's late
The minute hand over my eyes
I want to see but I am blind
The shadows flicker on the wall
Amalgams as this world falls
Overshadowing tree
You've been brought down, down to me
Standing once so tall
How great you were, how great your fall
The rot eats up into
Your limbs and boughs, it eats you through
The hiss of passing views
Nervously avoiding you
Oh, Son of the morning
Collapsed in your rot
Cut down and burned
How great thou art not
Limp decrepit limbs reaching out
Reaching out
Many things, scattered about
You will never be one, drifting out into the empty
A spaceman spinning out into the sun
A visitor of time brought forth, words are tempting
With your singing strings hearts are won
|

The Answer
05:07
|
|||
Until kingdom come
Until the day is won
Until I can stand without the shadow of fear
Until that day is met
Until I've made up my bed
Until this world is wrenched from their hands
Power in the hour
Light the towers, let them know
To signal everything is lost
Power to devour
Oh the teeth grind up smoke
With carnage you'll count up the cost
Here comes the answer to the question you won't ask
Screaming "I don't want to know!"
The hour still is coming, doesn't matter how you mask
The truth has something to show
Until the mourning sun
Until the moon is baptized in blood
Until the kingdom comes
We will wait
Until they hang us high
Until they take an eye for an eye
Silhouette the sky
In that day we'll die
We already know and we aren't afraid
There's nothing left for you to take
We are here and going nowhere
You will tremble in broken despair
Astonish you with power blind your impossible eyes
Drunken staggering we fly
Set loose to unravel everything wound up tight
Unthreaded unbeheaded we've arrived
|
||||
18. |
My Oh My
05:06
|
|||
My oh my
We arrived on time
I can't believe what I saw
I close my eyes
But it doesn't matter to me
The warnings line the road like twisted trees
A prelude to great suffering
Threats never stopped me before
Oh my God
We've crossed the Rubicon
They tried to pluck out our eyes
Our camp is filled with spies
The time is coming for me
The graveyard hands are calling
I know it's my destiny
It's gonna be so cold
My oh my
We've run out of time
|

Mr. Nightmare
03:48
|
|||
Dark in my dreaming
In the night you found me
Tried to peek your eyes inside just to see
Invaded my head-space
You came without a word
Secret destroyer wearing the weight of the world
Looking, searching
Finding, unearthing
With no faced, replaced
Nothing feels real
Trapped inside this veil
An internal hell
Forced your way through this
Hey, Mister Nightmare
I see what you're doing
Taking something that doesn't belong to you
Hey, Mister Nightmare
I hear your voice calling
Taking them out of the black and into the blue
If you're very quiet you can hear him
He's holding the hands of the children
Don't look at that star
Don't look at that star
The light will leave your eyes scarred
Leaving you blind in unending dark
Those with an ear should hear
|

Roe
04:49
|
|||
Down in the mud
Slip among the bristling reeds
The fish lay their eggs
Roe within the sea
Alligator eyes stare through the vines
Twisted laughs echo behind
The forest and trees leave nothing for me
Sheered off the leaves from their arms
No shelter, no shelter (it's coming quick)
The gnawing and clawing teeth of these fish
No solace, no solace (nothing to be found)
Dragging us down to the underground
So here we go, drowning in the foam, oh no
Warned and foretold, ashes to ashes, roe to roe
Frozen in this fear
Frozen in the waste
This land is subdued by chains
Do you hear it?
The chariot's sound?
Far in the distance
Your days are running out
Crocodile tears in the eyes of my peers
The smiling crooks from their mouths to their ears
Grinning behest, a dream possessed
The light inside is just endless death
The screaming, the screaming (a frenzy of feeding)
Fill up your guts with your digging tongues
The bleeding, the bleeding (themselves they are eating)
A blurring of fish consuming their young
|

21. |

We call you down, Oh Father
Please come down to us
We call you down, Oh Father
Free us from this curse
We call you down, Oh Father
The nights are growing long
We call you down, Oh Father
We beckon with our song
Time is slipping away
(Oh, the blackness)
We beg you come today
(Oh, the blackness)
Our fear is crawling upward
Tearing in our skin
The darkness in the clouds
And terrifying wind
The hour growing nearer
Impatiently we wait
Ready for disaster
The crumbling of Fate
We call you down, Oh Father
Please come down to us
We call you down, Oh Father
Free us from this curse
We call you down, Oh Father
Free us from this place
We call you down, Oh Father
We long to see your face
Oh, how the walls fell
(Oh, the blackness)
Weeping at their wishing well
(Oh, the blackness)

Misery
05:26
|
|||
And yet here I stand
With my head in my hand
Help me, I'm in misery
Try but I can't get what I need
Free from this pain
That's my singular aim
Get away from me
Stop trying to seize the air I breathe
No I won't stop
You'll have to make my body drop
You cannot halt me
Until I lay in that dark sleep
I'll drink your misery
So, pour one out for me
This bitter brewing tea
I see, I see
I'll drown in misery
It makes no difference to me
I have my destiny
You'll see, you'll see
Finally I stand at the top of the hill
The view fulfilled
Misery couldn't stop me
Daybreak shone as the sky broke free
Pour out your misery
What's the worst you can do to me?
Can't steal my victory
Or just delay your defeat
Pour out the misery
It makes no difference to me
What's a day of suffering
To eternity

Four Winds
03:41
|
|||
Time after time
I've tried to find
Past these scars on my eyes
Unblinded by the time
The vision is mine
Unleashed to view the sign
So draw me out of you quiver
Aim and deliver
There's no more doubt
Answer's clearer
The time is nearer
We sing
Take us away in the storm
In the hurricane
Jesus we pray
Let the four winds whisk us away
Let the four winds blow
Let our power overflow
Nothing can stand in our way
We're unstoppable, here to stay

When In Rome
05:58
|
|||
In the midnight hour, blooms of doom grow sour
Nightshade shedding thick, it is coming
Vines wrap round and pinch, through the cracks they inch
Seeping deeper in from the darkness
Overtake the rose, peel her floral clothes
Scrape the petals down, broken, deformed
Only thorn remains, reveal her ugly shame
By any other name, disintegrating
It's time for the emperor to be revealed
It's been concealed
But the time, like the assassin's knife, will come
Caesar, his face pale from the coffin's veil, oh well
A wound upon his mortal shell
Dress up in your bones
Tearing down the thrones
Cast out the first stone
When in Rome
Bleed your Father-head
Stitched together dead
Washed your hands of Christ
Your Pilate light
Hungry teeth they bleed
For the chance to feed
First it's "us and we"
Then it's "Me"
Behold then your god
Your shining Abaddon
The barren king of stones
When in Rome
Oh so you think you know what's to come tomorrow
Open your eyes, you're blind
The curtain is closed, nothing to show, oh no
They keep it under the lids of their eyes
The execution king with the face of a queen
A mouth full of leopard teeth and eyes that see
Hands reach out to harm, voices sweet that charm
That echoes bottomless, "Do not resist"
Communications crow, the black sheet starts to grow
Thunder storm shadow, when in Rome
Beasts lay starved and groan, the lions pick our bones
In the temple of gold, when in Rome
