Foolish Man

Where is your foundation (set upon the sand)
The stone of solitude, a roof for only you
Now you come crawling (trailing innocence)
expecting gratitude, to follow through
I know you, you foolish man
Now we have come too far
to fall apart again
Must we sacrifice all that we've built
to suffer your descent
A ticking bomb, a counting clock
Hopeless fable of your dreams
What a failure, what a failure
How to craft a foolish man
We've through this before
your bitterness matched only by your charm
Cover it up with another lie
A glimmer of hope in a dead man's eye
I'm not the boy you left behind
What love once I once held for you has died
There is nothing left for you in here
I see right through you
Deceiver
Play the victim again

Growing Horns

I've got so much to say to you
But I am lost for time
And these hidden thoughts bring words to life
That echo though the longest night
I alone, I alone
This is a place of affliction
I call home, I call home
I've been here, for a thousand years
burning halos and growing horns
When the weight of the world comes crashing down (crashing down)
When you feel the darkness all around
Through the rain!
Watch me disappear (through the rain)
Through the rain, I've given all myself for you again
Through the pain
Watch me disappear (watch me disappear)
Through the rain, I've given all myself for you again
Drifting in my addiction (to you)
Weightless I'm sinking through
Burning haloes
Growning horns
THIS IS THE FACE OF CONVICTION
Conviction
I alone, I alone
This is a place of affliction
I call home, I call home
Witness the undoing of my inner self -
where I come apart; unravel
as you lose all faith in me

Water and Ashes
04:01
|

Have we forgotten our place, our fate
A moment we lost while we settled our scores
A lesson we never learned
Forgotten in the fire
Burn, burn, burn in the cold
What is left of us when the world goes cold?
Burn, burn, water and ashes
Created to maintain
What we've left within our wake
Born to innovate
We're so lost in our intelligence
Taken for granted, the soil we seed
Absent and blind in the valley of greed
All through the fall
Water and ashes
This is where we made our mark
The stone we use to build our tomb
A burden we leave for our children to bear
Burn, burn, burn
This is where we lay our heads
Sleeping while our houses burn
Emptied and drowning within our desire
Burn, burn, water and ashes
Where will you run when waters close in
and the land cannot hold what we've done
Where will you hide when the fire surrounds
and we struggle, just to breathe!
Created to maintain (Created to maintain)
What we've left within our wake (What we've left within our wake )
Born to innovate (Born to innovate)
We're so lost in our intelligence (We've poisoned our own well)
Taken for granted, the soil we seed
Absent and blind in the valley of greed
All through the fall (All through the fall)
Water and ashes (Fall)

Needles
03:58

I've watched you waste away
in the corner of your mind
feeding your desire
with the pieces of your life
What is all worth it?
To feel the rush again?
To make the ones you love
watch you whither
There is consequence, for your negligence
Reaped by those who love her!
Show me your scars, tell me that you're unwell
When all you do is justify
Is there nothing more that I can say
to make you hesitate
Is there nothing more that I can do
To help you see this through
Can you escape a world you've constructed in your head?
Can you be free of needles forged within your mind?
Can you be free of needles in your mind?
Each scar a oath abandoned
Be free of painful blindness
Let go of shackling emptyness
Your mortal sin
Your hopelessness
(Set youself free, Set youself free)
Needles

Kin of the Godman
03:58
|
|||
Before the creation itself, destined for greatness
We've read words that are, and that will always be.
They speak of hope in a world giving fear in the grave (denying death a name)
A void has opened beneath our feet
Threatening to swallow us whole
(to swallow us whole)
I fear that we'll take
far too long to realise who we are
Providence left forsaken, in the midst of the fallout
Blinded by fear of what we've felt all along
Burning truth
Lay down your shield, open your eyes
We are the KIN OF THE GODMAN
We're all born in the wake of foolish men, we've found ourselves
condemned to a history of the same mistakes (same mistakes)
For many are called.
