The Earth's Shadow

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

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

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

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

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

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?

The Dead I: Hopeless
04:12
|
|||
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

The Dead II: Godless
05:21
|
|||
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?

The Dead III: Restless
02:19
|

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

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?
