An Exorcism of Romance
So faded, So hopeless, So without a chance to withstand
Spit on my grave, The dirt mirrors my torment
So fed up, So desperate, So without a face to save today
Save my ashes, The fire warms my broken soul
Finally, the feeling fades and leaves me with a bitter stain
My soul bears that which my skin could never contain
Fearless, and unabated, My shoulders take you in
To spit you out, To cast you out, An exorcism of romance
You aren’t the devil’s angel, You aren’t god’s conscience
Don’t regret a single second inside this tormented anguish
This is...

Reborn
Each night we lay in hell, Praying for heaven and hoping for death
Each night we lay in silence, Praying for peace and hoping for breath
Each night we lay in turmoil, Praying for change and hoping for light
Each night we lay in chaos, Praying for demons to be eternally contrite
Sink into me, Let me consume your every breath and heartbeat
Surround me with your arms and I will surround you with hope
In waves of crushing light, Your soul will be overwhelmed with truth
You will be reborn, An angel once more, No longer will you be numb
Every tongue is...

A Phoenix
Come inside, Lie down beside your angel and your demon
To truly face your fears, You must pollute the good in you
Breathe in, Sink deep into your mind and your soul
To truly face yourself, You must know yourself completely
Walk into your hell to destroy the hell in you
Rise up to your heaven to destroy the heavens
The only good you need is already inside you
The only evil that exists, Exists inside you
Our skin is but a fragile hollow shell, Begging for release
Cut to shreds, Burned to ash, And rebuilt every waking breath
We are but a phoenix...

A Compass of Self
Born out on the road, Destined to forever roam these lands
I was thrown out on my own, Fate forced me to live by my hands
I’ve lived a thousand days and the hourglass is forever losing sand
I’ve searched for so long, I need you to tell me who I am
My feet never stop, My heart always does, I’m consumed by distance
My soul has cried a thousand tears, Into a river I’ve drowned in ever since
It takes me away, To darker days, Taken to hell inch by bloody inch
My nerve has become so deadened by this, Every year makes me flinch
Searching for something I...

A Thousand Tomorrows
The tyrants break and the victims call, Another holy war with a thousand ideas
When will yesterday end, When will today usher in another useless way to change
The victims break down and the tyrants call out, Another holy war lasting a thousand tomorrows
No one wants your bitter end, They just want to know who rules our everything
A nation built to honor the gods, Slaughters on the steps of congress and the house ignores
The streets are paved with gold and the weeds between our hearts are fueled by blood
Paper belittled to ash, Flames dance on walls they stand...

Broken Wings
An image of innocence, You glance into the mirror, Hating your reflection
Your hair hangs loose upon your shoulders, Scars cover your wrists as ghostly hands
Bruises upon your cheeks, Hiding behind your makeup, You beg for release
Handprints upon your thighs, The fingerprints upon the gun to your temple
You scream out to the sky, Your mouth never uttering a single word of agony
You plead for an escape, Your feet never carrying you through the streets alone
You give your life away, An acceptance, A giving in, You’ve given up
Your tears are never seen, Your eyes...

Unchained From Mortality
If this lullaby sang endlessly, Would the swans fly away to better days
If this desolate sound became my anthem, Would the angels still surround me
If tonight rose up and fought off the dawn, Would the shadows fight the light
If I gave in to the voices, Would the captors of my soul give me to heaven or hell
The horizon looks so tempting, Urging me to forgo every pleasure and pain
The sun dips down, Casting doubt upon my heart, The darkness comes once more
The answers lie beyond the flesh, A destiny no mortal can withstand
The questions plague my mind once...

Carve Your Legacy
Wipe the sweat from your brow, Spit the blood from your mouth
Wipe the tears from your eyes, Spit the filth from your lungs
This is the time, This is our time, It is time to fulfill our destiny
Stand up, To everything, Stand beside me, It’s a fight to the death
Shout your battle cries from the edges of the world
Let me know where you stand, So I may join you
Shoulder to shoulder, We will be unmovable
We are the soldiers destined to die in a moment of glory
When the sun is bathed in blood, When the stars are masked by bone
Carnage will rise to the...

Forever and Always
Love, Wipe your eyes, This is not the end
This is but the start of something beautiful
Death isn’t the ending to a bitter song
It’s the pause needed to catch your breath
I believe I’ll see you again, Upon these clouds
In my arms, You will lay for eternity
Without fear, Without pain, Without loss
Paradise with my angel, I long for the day
I will wait forever and always for you
Through centuries of slowing time
I will never forget what I left behind
I am the reason behind that hidden smile
Love is forever, At least that’s what they...

The Seeds Of Life
I want to see the whole world burn, With a passion everlasting and a truth plaguing mankind
I want to watch the sky explode and stars cascade upon dusk and shadow
I want to see the youth come to me with stars in their eyes, “Because of you I never gave in”
I want to watch the youth rise above pain and sorrow, “Because of you I never gave up”
Stay awake with me tonight, Through wonder I will show you the blinding light
Stay awake with me tonight, Through miracles I will show you the dazzling light
Stay awake with me tonight, Through flesh and bone we will find the...

An Ever-Growing Monument
I was handed retribution, And from the ashes of a burning sun I arose
Out of the slumber of death, I staggered through desert and broken stone
Through oceans of dusk and rivers of dawn, I strove onward
Until in my darkest day, I became overwhelmed by destiny and was found alive
As the cracks begin to show, The filth arises and becomes anew in its rotten flesh
As the cracks begin to grow, The crude becomes humane as it dons a new crown
As the ashes fall like snow, The fire burns on inside this fragile frame
As the seeds become sown, The plants become an...

My Place In Hell
Brothers in arms, We stood by each other and faced a thousand years of struggle
Thick as thieves, We stole and cheated our way through society’s vice grip
I thought our bond was forever, But today you stole away and said I wasn’t worth the trouble
For years we filled death’s cup, And today you forced me to take the fatal sip
How could you do this to me, I was your ally in a room of enemies
How could I be so blind to this, I never questioned who you were before
How could I be so naïve, I was accepting of your foolishness and pity
How could I let this go, You...
