Death Valley
05:09

|
The view from above looks the valley below
Where no trees grow, the earth is dying
Greed beyond reason we fought with our hands
Now fall to the sand, a belated offering
Do we stand a chance?
Is there reason for trying again?
We stand hand in hand
Living or dying
Now I can see the black future before me
It’s coming swiftly
Wars fought with bloodshed for thousands of years
Will we all disappear?
The earth we have driven to rot and decay
Have we lost our way?
Darkness has taken its place on the throne
Are we all alone?
Have we lost our home?
Dozens of bodies decay on the ground
They lay all alone, the vultures circling
Death will come swiftly to those who are weak
Our future is bleak, no hope of returning
Do we stand a chance?
Is there reason for trying again?
We stand hand in hand
Living or dying
Now I can see the black future before me
It’s coming swiftly
Wars fought with bloodshed for thousands of years
Will we all disappear?
The earth we have driven to rot and decay
Have we lost our way?
Darkness has taken its place on the throne
Are we all alone?
Have we lost our home?
Do we stand a chance?
Is there reason for trying again?
We stand hand in hand
Living or dying
Now I can see the black future before me
It’s coming swiftly
Wars fought with bloodshed for thousands of years
Will we all disappear?
The earth we have driven to rot and decay
Have we lost our way?
Darkness has taken its place on the throne
Are we all alone?
Now I can see the black future before me
It’s coming swiftly
Darkness has taken its place on the throne
Are we all alone?
Have we lost our home?

Amnesia

I cannot recall
Faces long lost in my head
I forgot it all
I’ve kept not one memory
Nothing
Not one smile
I can’t remember
My own child’s name
Fighting with myself
Arranging these fragments in my head
Take my mind and place it on a shelf
Try to see things from a different side
Nothing
Not one smile
I can’t remember
My own child’s name
Blegh
Nothing
Not one smile
I can’t remember
My own child’s name
Nothing
Not one smile
I can’t remember
My own child’s name

A Cautionary Tale
04:02
|

|
R.I.P. poor Jimmy J.
Stood too close to the front of the stage
Took a boot right to the face
Condolences to his family
Heed the tale of Zachy Z.
Took a bottle to the head
“See you tomorrow”, the last thing he said
Guess that he lied, cause now he’s dead
Little Levon moshed too hard
Last steps he took were towards the bar
In his pants they found a card
“If I rock too hard, D.N.R.”
Hark, the last moments of Krissy K.
Singing and playing at the front of the stage
Broke a string and it went astray
Slicing her throat with a brutal spray

Roses

Lay me down
In a bed of roses
End my pain
Envelope me in thorns
Lay me down
In a bed of roses
End my pain
Envelope me in thorns
I was falling
Tumbling down the rabbit hole
Now I’m crawling
Back up to fall down again
Cover me in bruises
Dig your nails into my skin
So lovely and abusive
This pain is my heroin
So lovely and abusive
This pain is my heroin
So lovely, so lovely
Lay me down
In a bed of roses
End my pain
Envelope me in thorns
Lay me down
In a bed of roses
End my pain
Envelope me in thorns
You leave me vacant
Devoid of emotion
So complacent
In our loving devotion
Such a fragile tether
You’ve wrapped around my neck
Pull the chain tighter
Willing release of my final breath
Pull the chain tighter
Willing release of my final breath
Pull it tighter and tighter
Lay me down
In a bed of roses
End my pain
Envelope me in thorns
Lay me down
In a bed of roses
End my pain
Envelope me in thorns
Longing for something less hateful
I'm gratefully bound by your chains
Ours is an imperfect fable
I'm longing to tell it again
Lay me down
In a bed of roses
End my pain
Envelope me in thorns
Lay me down
In a bed of roses
End my pain
Envelope me in thorns

World on Fire
04:32
|

I don’t want to do this
I’m wasting away
I can’t seem to follow a path
Following directions
I start to decay
Asking myself who I am
Running on fumes as the world goes up in flames
I’ve thrown in all that I can
Tired of all of the shit and fucking games
Here I am making my stand
Losing my focus
I try to refrain
From giving into these dark thoughts
Patience is a virtue
But I have no shame
I’ll take what I want and never get caught
Running on fumes as the world goes up in flames
I’ve thrown in all that I can
Tired of all of the shit and fucking games
Here I am making my stand
The world is on fire
I’m loving the flame
The embers fly into the sky
Looking around for some
Wood or gasoline
Let's light this shit up high
Running on fumes as the world goes up in flames
I’ve thrown in all that I can
Tired of all of the shit and fucking games
Here I am making my stand
I’m not going to listen when you tell me what's best
I swear you have never known me less
Take all your opinions please spare me the rest
Take them all and shove them up your ass

Odyssey
04:07
|

Here we stand under a sky cast alight
Marching towards a humble demise
We may never again see the sun
We fight for those who will carry on
We’re haunted souls in this endless night
Servants of the midnight sun
This winding mountain road
Crawls under alien skies
A pathway to salvation
Sitting at the edge of a new dawn
Alone we cry
Graced by the morning light
We’ve walked for miles on this dusty road
Through a grey garden of ash
Here we walk into the fragile abyss
Festered souls that we left behind
Temples stand empty, a hollow demise
Those who still stand, we take to the skies
In a new age we may stand eternal
Martyrs of the midnight sun
This winding mountain road
Crawls under alien skies
A pathway to salvation
Sitting at the edge of a new dawn
Alone we cry
Graced by the morning light
We’ve walked for miles on this dusty road
Through a grey garden of ash

Black Garden
05:03
|

We ventured from our concrete streets
Down nature’s sunken highway,
We walked on down to the riverside
Where great trees dance in the wind
Relics of the distant past
Crumbling into ruin
Where once great power stood
Now transformed and born anew
Life and death surround us
In endless cycles of time
We walk together
In this haunted garden
Life and death surround us
In endless cycles of time
We walk together
In this haunted garden
Distant thoughts reflect on leaves
Evaporating into summer
I walk alone in the caverns of my mind
A dizzying freedom, souls collide
This ancient beauty thrives
The forest’s darkened heart
Down this path we’ve gone before
The face of primal might
Life and death surround us
In endless cycles of time
We walk together
In this haunted garden
Life and death surround us
In endless cycles of time
We walk together
In this haunted garden
Life and death surround us
In endless cycles of time
We walk together
In this haunted garden
Life and death surround us
In endless cycles of time
We walk together
In this haunted garden

Into the void we’ve gone
Met those who’ve walked before
Gatekeepers of our garden
Teeming with Unity
Into the void we’ve gone
Met those who’ve walked before
Gatekeepers of our garden
Teeming with Unity
