The sins of the fathers have condemned the children
We inherit what you leave behind, we inherit the end
Relief is found in nothing, there is only decay
You left us with no choice, you left us with no say
There is no way out, there's no escaping this place
You've already hammered the nails
How dare you reject the blame
How dare you try to wash your hands, when you're the ones who lit the flame
We're doomed to live a life we never wanted to live
A curse disguised, disguised as a gift
On the edge of the highest cliff, raised to stare straight into the abyss
A curse disguised, disguised as a gift
Your mistakes are hidden in plain sight, guilt masked by blinding light
You don't fool the eyes that hides in the night, can't force-feed us your lies
You dug a hole and you called it our home
You dug a grave, convinced us there was something to save
Convinced us all that we shared your blame
We see through it all, we will never be the same
We inherit the end
The sins of the fathers have condemned the children
We inherit what you leave behind, we inherit the end
We're doomed to live a life we never wanted to live
A curse disguised, disguised as a gift
On the edge of the highest cliff, raised to stare straight into the abyss
A curse disguised, disguised as a gift
And yet you wonder why we despise you and your kind
You spilled innocent blood and marked all of us
You marked all of us

Drag me down, bring me to my knees
Pull me through the filth and shower me in misery
I know the choices that I've made has left me marked eternally
Drag me down and bring me to my knees
I was born in blood and blessed with bad luck
Cursed to consume, I will never get enough
It never ends, my hunger never stops
It never ends, I am the bringer of nothing
I wear a crown of rot
I'm destined for damnation, but never letting up
Let it wash all over me, immerse me fully in suffering
I know the void awaits
I know the void awaits, my every deed is blessed by its grace
I know the void awaits, there's only one way out of this place
So just drag me down, bring me to my knees
Pull me through the filth and shower me in misery
I know the choices that I've made has left me marked eternally
Drag me down and bring me to my knees
Restless fiend
Enough was never enough, restraint was never taught
Soulless wretch forever marked by rot.
I know the void awaits
I know the void awaits, my every deed is blessed by its grace
I know the void awaits, there's only one way out this place
Drag me down, bring me to my knees
Pull me through the filth and shower me in misery
Drag me down, bring me to my knees
My choices made has left me marked eternally
The void awaits
My every deed is blessed by its grace
I know the void awaits
Only one way out of this place

It haunts me, it haunts me, the silence, it haunts me
All the noises they all haunt me, let it consume me
All this pressure can't be measured
I leave my soul in the hands of a flesh-god
Anger and tension, mortal prisons
It stands tall and I cower, I'm weak in its presence
My ears burn from the message, it's so reckless
Demands a breath when I'm breathless
This feeling of damnation, a train of thought I'd never dare to mention
I'm going blind from searching for salvation, it only lives for my eradication
Misery, As it moves in silence
Treachery, You can run, you can try, you're a target
It haunts me, it haunts me, the silence, it haunts me
All the noises they all haunt me, let it consume me
All this pressure can't be measured
I leave my soul in the hands of a flesh-god
Anger and tension, mortal prisons
So devout of light, swept in darkness
Such horrendous sights unfold before me
It joins me at night, it robs me of life
Those dreadful eyes are leering at my soul
I can feel it coming, I feel them coming closer
They call out and I'm tempted to let go
I can feel it coming, I feel them coming closer
How I weep, come bask in my suffering
This feeling of damnation, a train of thought I'd never dare to mention
I'm going blind from searching for salvation, it only lives for my eradication
It haunts me, it haunts me, the silence, it haunts me
All the noises they all haunt me, let it consume me
All this pressure can't be measured
I leave my soul in the hands of a flesh-god
Anger and tension, mortal prisons
So devout of light, swept in darkness
Such horrendous sights unfold before me
It joins me at night, it robs me of life
Those dreadful eyes are leering at my soul
Misery, as it moves in silence
Treachery, you can run, you can try, you're a target

Tongues
03:06

Tongues twisting truth will be torn from their throats
The warmth in their veins will run cold
A liar's crown will be carved from their bones
For their deceit they must atone
Three words like sharpened blades
They tried to take a life but left a crimson trace
Straight back to the hole they call their home
There's no way out, can't hide their scent, rotten souls
Silence the voice who spreads untruths, strip the deceivers of their youth
Pale skin will be peeled from their bones, the decay beneath exposed
Decay, decay
Pale skin will be peeled from their bones
Tongues twisting truth will be torn from their throats
The warmth in their veins will run cold
A liar's crown will be carved from their bones
For their deceit they must atone
Detached tongues drip poison no more
Untruths from filthy mouths no longer soar
Serrated steel will erase the lies that they spread
In a flash of the blade, blackened soil runs red
Their misdeeds will be paid back tenfold, and they will know
A rope and a blade for every throat
Their misdeeds will be paid back tenfold, and they will know an end of every rope
Their misdeeds will be paid back tenfold, and they will know a blade for every throat
The tongues twisting truth will be torn from their throats
The warmth in their veins will run cold
A liar's crown will be carved from their bones
For their deceit they must atone
For their deceit they must atone

Trætte øjne åbner
Gennem sprækker, lyset flyder
Holdt ude så længe
Et usselt sind forsøger at fortrænge et forbandet genskær
Holdt ude så længe
We will sleep, we will sleep forever
Till the light burns out, till the light burns out
We will sleep, we will sleep forever
Till there's nothing left, till there's nothing left
Mørket kaster ingen skygger
Men i lyset de kryber omkring mig
Jeg er fanget og forblændet
Jeg er fanget og forblændet.
Skarpt skær afskærer mørkets favntag
Nat bliver til dag, der er ingenting tilbage
Forladt, forkullet og forbrændt, alt omkring os er fortæret
Aske af vinden bæres
Åh mørke, hør jeg ber dig
Lad ikke lyset tag mig
Min sjæl den brænder, lyset rammer
Et liv i flammer
We will sleep, we will sleep forever
Till the light burns out, till the light burns out
We will sleep, we will sleep forever
Till there's nothing left, till there's nothing left

The Hangman's Song
03:02
|
|||
I see your eyes, I see the despise
They radiate when they look into mine,
So you can throw your stones and you can shatter my bones
It won't make a difference, cause I know the nothingness will carry me home
Heavy is the head that bears the crown
But you've cut me ear to ear, so I only wear a frown
I'll carry on while everything you own drags you down
I would rather live empty handed, than drown in a sea of what I own
I see your eyes, I see the despise
They radiate when they look into mine,
So you can throw your stones and you can shatter my bones,
cause I know the nothingness will carry me home
I'm never alone as I wander on the wrong side of the tracks,
cause misery loves company.
No way back
I belong to her and she belongs to me, so together forever we will be.
I'll keep digging my grave, so you can bury me beneath my mistakes
I'll keep tying this noose from all the loose ends life has left me with
I won't stop till it's the perfect fit
So when you've said your prayers and you kick the chair
I'll be singing along to the hangman's song.
When you've said your prayers and you kick the chair
I'll be singing along to the hangman's song.
I see your eyes, I see the despise
They radiate when they look into mine,
So you can throw your stones and you can shatter my bones,
cause I know the nothingness will carry me home

Death March
03:11
|
|||
Death march, death march
Your every thought is forever enslaved
Death march, death march
Empty existence from cradle to grave
You're trapped but you don't see the bars around you, not like I do
All the lines so blindingly defined, entranced by its shine
A parade of condemnation, mistaken for salvation
False light brings no redemption, only damnation
Death march, death march
Your every thought is forever enslaved
Death march, death march
Empty existence from cradle to grave
Forever falling, falling in line
Cursed by every breath
Every single step you take is one closer to death
Death march
You walk around with your head held high and your neck in the noose
Not knowing you were born to lose
Condemned, by the choices that you've made
You've given up control, you've marked your soul
Condemned, you are led by ignorance
Condemned, you never stood a chance
Condemned, you drag your coffins along
Condemned, while the crows sing your song
All your actions are committed in vain
False light brings no redemption, only damnation
Forever falling, falling in line
Cursed by every breath
Every single step you take is one closer to death
Death march
You walk around with your head held high and your neck in the noose
Not knowing you were born to lose
Death march, death march
Your every thought is forever enslaved
Death march, death march
Empty existence from cradle to grave

I won't let you in
Don't let it drag out, just let it end now
Pull your nails from my flesh, expose the open wound
Just let me feel it all, just let me suffer now
Remove the numbing shroud of smoke that you have swept me in
There is no rest, there's no relief
Can't close my eyes cause I see you in my sleep
Turned my heart into a hole
A restless fiend with a mark on my soul
A restless fiend with a mark on my soul
Oh, bitter friend, I won't let you in
Yet I feel you creeping under my skin
Oh, bitter friend, I won't let you in
Still you're creeping under my skin
I toss and turn at night, I'm losing grip on life
I can't keep going on, I'm giving up the fight
I feel you twist and turn around my neck
Like a snake, poison fangs sedate, frozen in place
My hands constrained
And as the pendulum swings, my time slips away
I know I made my bed, please just let me rot in it.
Rather the reaper behind my back than this devil on my shoulder
I know I made my bed, just let me rot in it.
Oh, bitter friend, I won't let you in
Yet I feel you creeping under my skin
Oh, bitter friend, I won't let you in
Still you're creeping under my skin
I toss and turn at night, I'm losing grip on life
I can't keep going on, I'm giving up the fight

Unbound

It takes more than blood to bind me,
and I would rather be bled dry than hear of you, and I
I would rather go blind than try to see eye to eye,
with the embodiment of everything I despise
The bond we shared was not of love or of trust
It was forced upon me, and you could never see,
how your poison seeped into everything
Your blinded eyes never saw anything
Don't speak my name again
We are not and will never be the same
I refuse to share your blame
We are not and will never be the same
Don't speak my name again
They're not, not like us,
they are not worthy of our help or trust
They're not, not like us is what you said to me and instantly I could see
A rotten apple doesn't fall far from a decaying tree
A life of ignorance and misery
You are not like us
Only the void will set you free
So I'll sever the ties that used to blindly bind
With no regard for wrong or for right
I would rather disappear into the night, than fight your cowardly fight
They're not, not like us,
they are not worthy of our help or trust
They're not, not like us is what you said to me and instantly I could see
A rotten apple doesn't fall far from a decaying tree
A life of ignorance and misery
You are not like us
Only the void will set you free
I would rather dig your grave,
than try to save something so lost, someone so corrupt
There might be blood but there is no love lost between us

You shine false light and you willingly blind,
the weak and hungry and they fall in line
Their demise is of your design
You place your self above all, but you ignore the signs
On the backs of the downtrodden, you've built a fortress of lies and sin
Mark my words, the walls will cave in
Blackened soil awaits below, you know you'll will reap what you sow
Betrayer of trust, soaked in disgust
Innocence lost, I hope you rot
I hope it haunts you for the rest of your days
I hope you eat, but you never taste
I hope you sleep, but you never rest
Just a hollow shell haunted by regret
Warbringer, coffin-filler
Your actions have their price, still you hide behind the lies
Wallbuilder, blood-spiller
Nothing but a cog in the great machine that's bound to rust
Warbringer, coffin-filler
Wallbuilder, blood-spiller
So long have you brought unknowing lambs to the slaughter on your altar of filth, to spread your falsities and fear.
The end is near
Mark my words, the end is near
Mark my words, you're the one who brought it here
On the backs of the downtrodden, you've built a fortress of lies and sin
Mark my words, the walls will cave in
Blackened soil awaits below, you know you'll will reap what you sow
Betrayer of trust, soaked in disgust
Innocence lost, I hope you rot
I hope it haunts you for the rest of your days
I hope you eat, but you never taste
I hope you sleep, but you never rest
Just a hollow shell haunted by regret
Demagogue, the worst of us
Demagogue, I know you'll rot
