How do you look so holy? With every wretched thing I watch them come alive They're hiding in the shadows No sound is made They are hungry for more No sound is made How are you still standing? Take a breath, it's overwhelming How are you still standing? Another life circles the drain Now we can't see the forest Are we hiding in the rain Or lost to a black hole? There's a great weight: it's unrelenting Take a breath, it's overwhelming There's a great weight: it's unrelenting I can't breathe; it's overwhelming How do you look so holy? With every wretched thing I watch them come alive They're hiding in the shadows

Death Blow 06:21
We're crawling to the edge Where the night swallows the road Driving to the end There is no light, there is no hope Were we to find it now I think I would be okay When the mushroom clouds bloom in the sky And we stand alone – just you and I I'll face the end of the world with you Past the point of no return This planet's at it's end They always wanted to see it burn We had no chance to mend I'm sorry it has to be this way, I'm sorry it's too late Were we to find it now I think I would be okay When the mushroom clouds bloom in the sky And we stand alone – just you and I When the mushroom clouds bloom in the sky And we stand alone – just you and I I'll face the end with you

Blossom 05:29
I woke to find your eyes Deader than the last time I saw mine What happened to the world we once knew? When I awoke the sky was falling down And everything was burning around us Everything was collapsing The dead don't make a, dead don't make a sound I swore I would keep you safe And I swear that I tried my best But as much as the world can change Some things will always be the same When I awoke the sky was falling down And everything was burning around us Everything was collapsing The dead don't make a, dead don't make a sound When I awoke the sky was falling down And everything was burning around us Everything was collapsing The dead don't make a, dead don't make a sound It's too late to make a change There's fire in the sky and fire in our lungs Everything is collapsing The dead don't make a, dead don't make a sound

Post Mortem 05:03
Why am I not afraid? Part of me says I should be But part of me knows this is right Labored lungs gasping for breath A pale face; what is left? How much longer do we have? Our loving whispers swept away Time gains momentum as it rolls Gathering mass and speed, unstoppable What are we to do? We can only sit and watch One moment into the next The momentum grows What is left behind? Are we truly alone? I will find you again I promise you that I don't know what we will find But I'll see you on the other side

Mammothine 08:15
On that day when the bombs fell I was watching the fires spread A continent went up in flames Till the people were but smoke in the sky How could they let us die? Forefathers forsook the ground we stood upon Praising the green that fell from the trees Their disbelief that they would die on their knees All hail the great collapse All hail the great collapse All hail the great collapse The equalizer of men I've seen the blood of the earth Spill out on the red-soaked dirt Nothing matters to them Nothing matters to the Mammothine How could they let us die? Forefathers forsook the ground we stood upon Praising the green that fell from the trees Their disbelief that they would die on their knees All hail the great collapse All hail the great collapse All hail the great collapse The equalizer of men I've not feared death I fear watching the pain grow in your eyes While the rich grow fatter than pigs While I watch my children die I've seen the blood of the earth Spill out on red-soaked dirt Nothing matters to them Nothing matters to the Mammothine How could they let us die? Forefathers forsook the ground we stood upon Praising the green that fell from the trees Their disbelief that they would die on their knees All hail the great collapse All hail the great collapse All hail the great collapse The equalizer of men

I wish you would end me I can't live without the one I love The world's burning outside, but not in my head There, only love remains Forever shining like a satellite But now further away than it used to be I can't live without my love Please bring my satellite back to me The fires in the distance are growing Closer and hotter and evermore angry The dawn is fading The dawn is fading to perpetual black How long has it been? It seems to be everything now The world burns and everything dies And it feels like home What a miserable world When there's comfort in cracking bone I'd do anything anything for you now I'd do anything to bring you home The fires in the distance are growing Closer and hotter and evermore angry The dawn is fading The dawn is fading to perpetual black Even if I have to die Whatever it takes, my love The lights fade under a blanket of smoke I wonder if we ever had a chance? I feel the fire on my fingers Burning away the hope I had left My eyes are fading My eyes are fading to perpetual black

Roadside 03:41
O holy ghost I've been lying here for days Won't you save me from this wreckage? Won't you take me away? O holy ghost there's so much blood on the ground People keep on walking by It seems there's no hope to be found O holy ghost, who could save a wretch like me? Weak flesh is an easy mark For the likes of murderers and thieves God, rain retribution upon these men They have no good in their hearts The devil has them now Let justice be done Blow for blow, and eye for an eye Is this what we've become?

I am one with, and amongst the godless Walking on roads paved with blood and bone You sent me to be a saviour, like you already know Can I find what once was lost underneath the stone? You turned to me as if I was your friend But my hands are withered and torn. They're already dead I want to be what you need, but I don't know if I can I'll try, I'll try for you. For the ones I love Here, amongst the rotten and the foul You will find me In the dwindling light I am among the godless
10.
Rise up, all you who are dead Find the way home See if you can save Whatever is left of you I am one with, and among the godless Walking on roads paved with blood and bone You sent me to be a saviour, like you already know Can I find what once was lost underneath the stone?
11.
Find peace from the winds of the east Let it carry you to softer shores I hope there you will finally find sleep God knows you never rest God knows you never rest Breathe in the winds of the east In the dwindling light

Accursed 08:36
My dear, you are so precious to me Even the blind can see So, where is your faith now? Can't you believe? Why can't you trust in me? Who hurt you? Who stole inside? Here, you are safe; you can close your eyes I wish I could take it all away I wish I could make you feel safe When monsters take away our humanity What is left? What happens when they steal our heart right out of our chest? Can we find our way back? My dear, the sorrow is but a visitor Welcome it in, let it sit, but not stay We can't let it make it's home here Hear me, please. I'll be by your side Just stay with me, just stay with me I'll be by your side Just stay with me, just stay with me My dear, you are so precious to me Even the blind can see So, where is your faith now? Can't you believe? Why can't you trust in me?
