In this day aspirations star decayed It was the light of our desires A fire burns in the mind Torching once fundamental truths Downfall Self loathing it′s your state of mind Drowning in dejection Homicidal of your talents It′s mental suicide Downfall One by one they all drown Down the path I can′t hear (Chorus) To feel this pain with you To feel this pain with you To feel this pain I′m falling to grey To feel this pain with you Buried dreams will withered dried Sorrow is your guide You haven′t the will to carry on You′ll feel better when you′re gone Downfall One by one they all drown Down the path I can′t hear (Chorus) If I may realign the scriptures For fallacy′s decay Reclamation of the spirit First step in taking back your life Downfall One by one they all drown Down the path I can′t hear (Chorus)

You starve your children on neglect Then feed their bellies with fear Concussion bat to the brain Witness to a battered mother Your abuse will end right here No longer will your family fear A gunshot to head of trepidation My promise if you ever lay a finger Just look at the scars you make Your terror makes your kids break A broken home just as you were raised With fist raised up to your children This battle is on all You′ve made beautiful Now hateful You wretched life wrecker Abuser Now suffer Open fire On the desire of the man Open fire With strife we′ll strike down the hand (Open fire, build the pyre) If I can′t make you see the damage you′ve made (Open fire, build the pyre) I′ll make you wish you′d never been alive

The mother of ruination comes to fuck all Mutilating everything, spread wide open, beckoning Beckoning me
Spiral faster down Ripping a hole through the air we breathe An apocalypse Encased in a shell, so beautiful
The calamity makes its way to the inside I know we are feeling the same thing The calamity makes its way to the inside To eat away at our existence
Spewed from the wound of this life′s worst cavity; the Nightmare spreads it′s cancerous lamentations, poisoning Force-feed the plague
Drunk from the milk of death′s overflowing sick tit Nourishing the misery, gives birth to the ugliness That grows inside
Spiral faster down Ripping a hole through the air we breathe An apocalypse Encased in a shell, so beautiful
The calamity makes its way to the inside I know we are feeling the same thing The calamity makes its way to the inside To eat away at our existence

Mistaken identity You really got this one wrong Racially singled out He must have a gun And yet you get off with no time How can this be the answer? No crime yet they shot away He now lies dead, the blood is on your hands Hands which were supposed to protect People like the man you blew away This isn′t justice, this is corruption
The four protectors fired 41 shots Hitting him 19 times Searching the body there were no weapons found He lies with all who died in vain
Murder must still be a crime When our inherent freedom It′s hatefully gunned down by who we entrust And yet you get off with no time How can this be the answer?

Freedom is all I have to say in defence Of what the world′s becoming A nation hell bent on choosing what′s right And how we all should live our lives Fuck their ways it is time to break free Fuck their hate acceptance is what we need Equality for every race, sex, sexuality And every choice to live our lives And to you bigot cretin ignoramus Mind your own goddamn fucking business Holding onto what makes us whole Never letting their poison take control Freezing the air (that stands between all of us) Closing the eyes (bear witness to me) Freezing the Fear (that stands between all of us) Closing the eyes (bear witness to me) I′ll be right here Falling away Fighting on principle I′ll die 1000 times Before I′ll ever be them Burn the scriptures bury the governing Free yourself Break the structures Declare Freedom
I am but a farce, a satire of stability Insecurity is an uphill struggle, it′s me versus the world The shore still starves, For another,
Novel of my shipwrecked being tied up dried alive still breathing The sands of time, from me are running out, my hands shake, in apprehension, Of every action I′m guilty of playing the victim, The shore still starves, For another,

The vampires feed off the wars of mankind The vampires feed off the wars of mankind Growing fat on the throne of an empire Tyrant rules with the threat of a great fire
I′ve opened up my eyes Seen the world for what it′s worth Tears rain down from the sky They′ll blow it all to bits To prove whose god wields all the power Fire rains down from the sky
The gaping wounds Hemorrhaging the blood from which they feast (blood from which they feast) Eat us alive Consume to feed a hunger with no A hunger with no end Let′s fucking go

A common woman Lives by The Bible Wed-locked a prison Of antiquation Brings life to the earth By losing her mind Trying suicide Hallucinating Satan
Forcing her own blood down Beneath the waters to drown Lying dead with eyes wide open
Spiraling downward Refusing all help Self-mutilation Neglects the children Dagger licks her neck Desiring escape Succumbing Satan Robbed by the seventh deadly sin
Forcing her own blood down Beneath the waters to drown Lying dead with eyes wide open Believing Satan was inside Ordering to abide To destroy her cursed children
Entrance of the Conflagration Entrance of the Conflagration
Go!
[Solo: Corey, Matt]
Conditions worsen Searching for answers In holy scriptures Systematic plan Water fills the tub All of her children Floating lifelessly Innocence chased down and drowned
Forcing her own blood down Beneath the waters to drown Lying dead with eyes wide open Believing Satan was inside Ordering to abide To destroy her cursed children
All this life shrouded in a veil Of deception in association But now I will witness thee With unblinding open eyes Judas I bury you in your own blood You only held me down from what I was suppose to be Ascend above the ashes of the world I once knew Ascendancy is the only thing this will prove I spread the fuel with ire Desire To incinerate all - Behold I rise - phoenix Ascend above the ashes Ascend above it all
Shepherd is chased by the wolves Wolves who lives by intolerance and hate For what they couldn′t understand
Blinded and vicious are the beast Bleeding and ripping at a beautiful human Who did nothing more than be himself
Tied to the fences as they break you And sadness will sear Cold is the wind that will freeze you And sadness will sear
Scarecrow is left crucified, left freezing, bleeding Tired, and wondering why. The wolves just couldn′t understand It′s the preacher, and the teachers, Government, close-minded creatures Try to teach us to hate that which is different
Tied to the fences as they break you And sadness will sear Cold is the wind that will freeze you And sadness will sear
It′s 12:53 AM October 12th when the scarecrow died A victim of society′s cruelty It′s 12:53 AM October 12th when the shepherd died The candles light will alight your departure

Tied to the fences as they break you And sadness will sear Cold is the wind that will freeze you And sadness will sear
[Verse:] That′s the sound of humanity melting away Say goodbye it′s the end of days Fire rains down on the American dream Watch all you love see them scream
Each will dig their own graves And bury themselves in life′s failures
It′s all bombs we′ve masterminded lighting the skies Hideous misfires, many die Those who survive soon will suffocate By the poisons we create
Each will dig their own graves And bury themselves in life′s failures
De-to-na-tion, De-to-na-tion
When civilization crumbles, man will turn On one another, killing true

This weight is so unbearable caving my lungs All my life seems to be flashing in front of my eyes Run away from all the pain of life Ways of devotion turn to obsession open your eyes I want you to see what you′ve done to me crying out those eyes Bring my end to an end Distance yourself from the pain that covers me I reach out for your hand to find there′s nothing left for me Razors kiss the vein overdose for pain A 12 gauge cross kisses the forehead a saviour in a shell Sever me from the fall Fuck the people, Fuck the world, Fuck it all Open my arms Bleed out the flood In crimson I begin to drown
I′m wearing thin, wearing out becoming weak, Holding hands with this rope, she′s my self-destructive. Bleeding disease the things that makes it hard to breathe, But if I shoved you far away This addict just suffocated, asphyxiated.
And now I see it′s you That′s tearing me, ensnaring me This is me dying in your arms, I cut you out now set me free
Lynched high above what used to be In her channels built for me So I escaped cut this noose around my, Neck I break free to see the things you blinded me. And I shoved you far away. Now I live the life I dreamed of. You′re dead to me.
And now I see it′s you That′s tearing me, ensnaring me This is me dying in your arms, I cut you out now set me free
And now I see it′s you That′s tearing me, ensnaring me This is me dying in your arms, I cut you out now set me free
You poisoned my life So I take this knife And I cut you out Cut you out
And now I see it′s you That′s tearing me, ensnaring me This is me dying in your arms, I cut you out now set me free
And now I see it′s you That′s tearing me, ensnaring me This is me dying in your arms, I cut you out now set me free
