Sudden implosion of silenced emotions Buried beneath a scarred heart for too long Delusions of hope fading away Dying like leaves on frozen soil
My apocalypse is here I can feel the end...coming near
Neglecting existence repulse and repent An endless journey into the morbid Whispering voices distorting all senses Buried beneath a scarred heart for too long
My apocalypse is here I can feel the end...coming near
Lead - Michael Amott
The bitter taste of a dying dream Shine the light on our shadows and illusions
Any minute this could blow, I lit the fuse too late Any moment we could all go down and sail in flames Are we sinking, are we under? The silence right before the storm Take a breath and take your cover She′s coming back for more
I′ll say what I said before Did it all fall in place just the way you planned? Or did it all go to waste after I recovered? Chasing the final storm, chasing the final storm Placing the final score
Hear the violence in the rain Is this our resting place Hold your head low She is coming down without her grace
She′s a natural in disaster The silence after and before We′re the ones she′s chasing after She′s coming back for more
I′ll say what I said before Did it all fall in place just the way you planned? Or did it all go to waste after I recovered? Chasing the final storm, chasing the final storm Placing the final score, chasing the final storm
Her eyes hold the apocalypse Her eyes hold the apocalypse Her eyes hold the apocalypse Her eyes hold the apocalypse
There′s a place that I′ve found As far as I can see This place lies within The depths of my dreams In a garden surrounded By Fire and Trees Through the smoke a silhouette I can barely see There′s a man with an axe Standing in the rain Looked me straight in my eye This is what he had to say
Never fall asleep You won′t wake up Destroy the guillotine Before he does I walk with shadows (You have to find a better way) I walk with shadows (The questions I will never say) Hiding from the gallows (They keep me safe and sound) So I walk in shadows (The ways of burning down this house)
End transmission The satellites are down I need an earthquake To shake this pity off the ground
Just don′t trust these liars at the door (You have to find a better way) Kill the ones that have these answers for (the questions I will never say)
Never fall asleep You won′t wake up Destroy the guillotine Before he does
I walk with shadows (You have to find a better way) I walk with shadows (The questions I will never say) Hiding from the gallows (They keep me safe and sound) So I walk in shadows (The ways of burning down this house)
End transmission The satellites are down (down, down) I need an earthquake To shake this pity off the ground (ground, ground)
All the vibrant colors I see And shades that fill the gray
Pain (The pain) [x8]
Hiding from the gallows (You have to find a better way) I walk with shadows (The questions I will never say) Hiding from the gallows (they keep me safe and sound) So I walk in shadows (the ways of burning down this house)
It was 1906, but we screwed the timeline up. It wasn′t just for kicks but I′m afraid that the gig is up. I jumped through time, at the count of jump (Yeah, kinda like a pun) Smashed the past and messed the whole thing up, Now there′s nothing left but Post-Apocalypse Punk.
Tried makin′ a buck but we can barely stay aloft. Tried to swing a deal but we pissed the wrong guys off. Clock-Work guitar and a flintlock bass, We blasted the past all over the place, And there′s nothing left but Post-Apocalypse Punk.
Just when I thought we had won, we were back to the start again. With no wind in our sails and the doldrums settin′ in. Now I′m covered in grease from my head to toes, Slappin′ the iron, but the engine′s froze, And there′s nothing left but Post-Apocalypse Punk.

The battle raged on and on Fuelled by the venom of hatred for man Consistently, without the eyes to see By those who revel in sewer equally
We, the prosperity of the future seal Cloaked by the thunders of the north wind Born to capture the essence of The trails of our kind
Zero tolerance must be issued forth Behind the enemy’s line So it shall be written And so it shall be done
(repeat 1st and 2nd verse)
Discover and conceive the secret wealth And pass it unto your breed Become your own congregation Measure the sovereignty of it’s invigoration
We, who not deny the animal of our nature We, who yearn to preserve our liberation We, who face darkness in our hearts with a solemn fire We, who aspire to the truth and pursue it’s strength
Are we not the undisputed prodigy of warfare Fearing all the mediocrity that they possess Should we not hunt the bastards down with our might Reinforce and claim the throne that is rightfully ours
Consider the god we could be without the grace Once and for all Diminish the sub principle and leave it’s toxic trace Once and for all
Poisonous dust Draws on wet glass Grey ornaments They are transforming to A dreadful picture of an apocalypse
Of your apocalypse
And I see Terrible grimaces of lords of destruction Agony of creatures Burning in the crimson flame That is the future
I do not want my own dreams To become the reality Cause all this simply seems to me
I can’t predict what waits for us tomorrow But I want you to understand I can’t predict what waits for us tomorrow I can’t be silent when I see another’s pain
Everything passed And the picture of reality is destroyed And I see Lifeless desert and the black line of horizon
One more step One more sigh One more chance to try to rethink all
