Vespertine

I can’t seem to get out of my head
Wish my brain was rotting instead
The devil has put his hands on me.
I feel like burning in hell for the thrill
The ground beneath my feet, is not what I thought
I created this prison for myself.
The demons are all now my friends
A reprieve? I’ll take the heat instead.
Don’t wait for me, I deserve to be here
Deep in this darkness surrounded by fear
I don’t ever plan to break free
From this place, where I rot in peace
The chance to leave I would not take
Peeling off my skin, your touch I cannot shake
My soul should be burned with haste
What’s been done can’t be taken back
I don’t want to live with the weight of the world because your mind went black
You just took what you thought was yours.
I see you, vespertine
The ground beneath my feet, is not what I thought,
I am the one who keeps me here
I assumed your consequence
Torturing myself the way you deserve
Hell is not enough punishment for you

Abhorrence

Martyr blood shed through the night,
The streets are turning red
They took it from us, they’ll keep taking and never give it back
We live in fear of his knights, they only live to take our rights
Imprisoning those who dare to face the impenetrable
One by one, they cut us down
How will we find this path? The way out
You believe they are here to save
Guide you, lead you, keep you safe
Thoughts surrounding by fog, when will they see
Those meant to protect will only bring you to your knees
One by one, they cut us down
How can we find the path, the way out
But we will never be free
just pawns in a game we can never play
The king is lost in his mind,
Can’t see his court is maligned
The batallion is here
Now we must all pay
For royalty’s insolence
Carefree, no repentance
One by one they cut us down
We will never find a solution, the way.
The darkness is upon us, feels like we’re running out of time
This evil that we’ve come to know won’t pass.
Standing against the grain for justice
To be met with pure force
A fruitless rebellion
Against the ancient design
You’ll never find your way out

Tortured for Christ

Pushing an unholy curse
Upon the human race
Infection like a plague, nothing but a disgrace
Do you consider yourself moral? Damning mortal souls to hell
The eighth circle holds a place for you when you’re down there as well
Look at yourself you don’t see you’ve made a mess
Contempt has consumed you, Jesus fucking wept
Punishing those who don’t deserve upon the pyre
When you should only throw yourself into the fire
He can’t save you now
You’re a lost cause
Religion is a scourge upon us, you hate because your told
Your self-righteousness has been left uncontrolled
Genocide seems to be your only truth, because you were told his son died for you
He belongs in a frozen lake of ice
Your beliefs are based on the deaths of millions of souls,
Did those who killed for him make it to heaven? Ask your false god.
I see right through you, you show up every sunday
I see right through you, your god would not show up for you.
We’re here to burn your churches, they’ve done nothing for us
But judge rape and murder, and still the blame is on us.
Corruption from the inside out, you don’t know who you serve
Persecution of thy neighbor, only you would have the nerve.

Night of the Hounds
04:20
|
|||
From town to town youve shown your face
To throw the dogs off your trail
Your scent in the air keeps them searching for you
Longing to taste your tainted blood
The hounds are coming for you - to tear you apart limb from limb
You cannot run and hide - they smell the damage you’ve caused
Living your life filled with hate
Destroying yourself from the inside out
Filling your mind up with false escape
They want to see how fast you run
They’ll tear you apart limb from limb
They smell the damage you’ve caused
It’s been tearing away at you slowly
All these years just a little at a time
Every time you look into a mirror
The undesirable behind those eyes
The hounds are coming for you
To tear you apart limb from limb
You cannot run and hide
They smell the damage you’ve caused
They’ve been lying in wait for your flesh
Can’t stay on the run forever
The demons you made will catch up to you
knowing they’ve almost won
The hounds are coming, and they’ve got their sights on you.
Their hunt is coming to an end tonight
Are you prepared to be eaten alive?
Feel your bones crush beneath their jaws
You’re at the end of your leash.
