Grant my words to be redemption
I’ll breathe these tales of tragedy
I stand soul in hand to carry my burden
For the monster I held inside
Oh heavens of mine
Render me suffering
For the hearts I compromised
I will thrive
Restore the balance within my mind
My eyes see that all can be lost
[chorus:]
My heart defiled
I was condemned to commit these crimes
(I’ll) show you the hands of saints that destroyed me
At the gates of hell
Grant me a mirror (I’ll make it shatter)
I despise my lies
You’ll see how fast I can burn
I’m to be cleansed, re-humanized
Oh heavens of mine
Render me suffering
Save me from my own demise
Set my fears aside
Restore the balance within my mind
Hope dies
But I will fight for life
[chorus]

Inner Bleeding

Behold the story of my dream to take down the world
Dementia settles the moment that this inner bleeding takes over my head
And slowly consumes my mind
I lose my sight
I’m the only strand safeguarding my frailties
With the power of my lies
Simmer their wounds
Notice how it sates you
[hook:]
I’m the bringer of torment
Their tears, my sustenance
Bow down, make me whole
I survive to control
[hook]
To my affliction I let a voice take control
Psychopath!
To my affliction I let a voice take control
We should binge on their sorrows
They’re not made for amity (NO!)
Spit you out
Make you burn
I’m not a monster, I just can’t find my soul
[hook]
As they kneel before me, I am the king of woe
I drag the chains of my father
Carry his wrath that’s within me
When it takes over my head
And slowly consumes my mind
I lose my sight
I’m the only strand
Safeguarding my frailties with the power of my lies
Simmer their wounds
Notice how it sates you
[hook]

Outer Violence

[chorus:]
Parasitic minds reach in through my eyes
Piercing through them, leeching me
No one saves you from what delves in me
Lone beast to consume your tears
Smear your blood
Torment your soul
Blood tainted cold water quenches my thirst
Left by a ghost that rots woe
My skies were built on gunpowder to ignite
To mutilate you opens up my smile
I’ll see the center of you as you die
My dreams are made of damned waters
As you drown I feel my lungs clear
My blade caressing your throat gets me hard
(And) I get drunk on your fear
I’ll put an end to all I thought I loved
Nobody saved me
Now at the brink of loss, I’ve never been so lost
My dreams are made of hell’s fire
When you burn, there’s a warmth within me
Behold the animus of His son
I’m the unrefined godless human swine
Alas, this time
Have I crossed the line?
This time pain cannot heal me
Despite what I’ve done I set for another kill
I will stalk, I’ll abuse, I will purge for the man who betrayed me
So demented
Lies breeding lies
Living lies
All lies
[chorus]
As this creature lies to rest
I’ll bend the skies
For taking my mother

Purge
05:24
|

I say we let the crows sing their victory
Death found a new diversion (death found a new diversion)
I am now what I’ve seen
My purpose is clear
I am risen from His hell
My lover, forgive me
Bathe on the blood you spill
Hold my voice high
Gone is her soul, thrown to the hole
Oh father, come and dare to see what you have done
As this creature lies to rest
I’ll bend the skies
For taking my mother
Kneel to my blade, obey my law
I aim to purge you with the strength of a sun
Remember her frame
So frail, so young
Father, I did the same
Fate has done us wrong
[chorus:]
As this creature lies to rest
I’ll bend the skies
For taking my mother (please don’t take her)
Behold my treason
Curse all I’ve done
Immorality cripples our young
Thus thou shall learn to love
It shall not hurt to live
Redemption is my purge
I am free from all my demons
Blessed be all I curse
As this creature lies to rest
I’ll bend the skies
For taking my mother

Regenerate

Oh heavens of mine
Render me bliss
Treasure the heart she brings to life
Will I be free
I bid farewell to a life of wrongs
I’m now weary and growing old
As days go by my time unfolds
My time unfolds
I now carry a stone the weight of the world to cleanse my woes
But there is hope and sorrow in my words
There’s salvation within love
And you can be mad at the way things went
You can swear, curse the fates
But when it comes to the end
You have to let go
If I were god
I would have made the world just so, and no different
Just so I have you
And if she isn’t the word of god
Then god never spoke a word
