Текст песни:

Man has programmed himself to die
A death wish has been ingrained
Almost with our first breath
We are taught to expect our last

Science has done its best to choke off
The true instincts of mankind
Death is impatient and thoughtless
Mortality is a disease of the mind

Embrace the gifts before you
Paradise is underfoot
Eternity is within

Lost site of the bounty before us
Boundless resource of pleasure and plenty
Living for an intangible
In a future clouded with doubt

Embrace the gifts before you
Paradise is underfoot
Eternity is within

Every step forward is one step
deeper into the grave

Breathe... breath of life

@ Shadows Fall

Текст песни:

This time released security
Controlled does of tranquility
Forgetfulness washes over me
Put to rest the voices of instanity

Only the cinders remain
As another night
Becomes a yesterday

Come on! Anesthetize the panic
It is what drives the weak
You′re gone! Anesthetize the panic
Putting all uncertainties to sleep

Not an altered state of mind
But a safer place in an unsafe world
Within the nearness of death
Rapture in the skip of a heartbeat

@ Shadows Fall

Текст песни:

I am the heir of the damned kingdom
Born into a legacy of regret
Searching for the promise of salvation
Overwhelmed by the tides of our despair
Been pulled deep into the chasm
By the grip of our desire
THE GRIP OF OUR DESIRE
Must escape the weight of this depression
The choices that lead you to dismay
Who would save those who condemn themselves
CRIPPLE! Cripple your own savior
The failure, failure of the devout
Set in motion by final sacrifice
Change begun in the name of righteousness
Infiltrated by greed, lust and hatred
Once more corrupted by the hands of man
Been pulled deep into the chasm
By the grip of our desire
Must escape the weight of this depression
The choices that lead you to dismay
The handsome mask of the devil
The lure of the cross! Of the dark!
You violate the sacred with your greed
Prey upon the people′s misery and needs
With your greed, with your greed, with your greed!
I am the heir of this damned kingdom
Born into a life of regret
Searching for a promise
That′s no longer kept

@ Shadows Fall

Текст песни:

I only wanted to
Kill the pain and the sorrow
Instead I buried you
And killed the happiness in me
Can you hear the laughter
Coming from my grave?
Suddenly it seems to me
That I am my own worst enemy
We can never hope to breathe
In this misery
Full speed with blinders on
Never stopped to see the horror
I think you always knew
I′d drag you down to hell with me
Suddenly it seems to me
That I am my own worst enemy
We can never hope to breathe
Tangled in this misery
Think of all I′ve said and done
All the fights I thought I won
Another scar for the chosen son
The ungodly one
How can I
Purge this venom from my veins?
Your sweetest suicide
Drags you in and flips that switch
As you fade away
With the breath of every hit

@ Shadows Fall

Текст песни:

Seeing it all
Heeding the call
Lost! Without hoping to be found
A willing exile, I turn away
Rather face the endless silence
Than the hopeless and fear of today
The ashes choke the sky
Death′s swift hand in disguise
Awaiting the final call
No use hesitating
ARE WE
Fearful of how dark it′s grown?
The emptiness surrounds
WILL NOT BELIEVE
Refuse to think I′m on my own
Who will be CAST OUT?
Trust! In the lies that held you bound
Their twisted values lead you astray
They disgrace th world with violence
Leaving bitterness despair and decay

@ Shadows Fall

Текст песни:

Unleashed upon the shores (rain of terror)
The latent power unveiled
A cruel reminder (of our weakness)
Of our vulnerability!
We will rebuild!
We will rise!
We will rebuild!
We will survive!
SURVIVE!!!
Inner strength will always (never falter)
Overpower your neglect
Turn your back on us (the adandoned)
And we will rise alone!
We will rebuild!
We will rise!
We will rebuild!
We will survive!
SURVIVE!!!
Stranded adn forgetten
A blind eye tunrs away
Another failure for the fool
SUBMERGE THE IMAGE!!!
The spirit shines through the deepest of waters

@ Shadows Fall

Текст песни:

Smashing, always forward
Leave nothing in your path
Shortsighted and indifferent
To what lies ahead

Reckless abandon (chasing your tail)
Blinding ambition (you learn to fail)

Winning a race
No one else began
No rest for the wicked
Winter calls again

Crawling gagging (chasing your tail)
Battered and bleeding (you learn to fail)

Rip it up and tear it down
It weighs heavy on my soul.
Rip it up and tear it down
It weighs heavy on my soul.

Confront the stranger
Staring back at you
Twisted reflection
In the looking glass

Reckless abandon (chasing your tail)
Blinding ambition (you learn to fail)

Winning a race
No one else began
No rest for the wicked
Winter calls again

Crawling gagging (chasing your tail)
Battered and bleeding (you learn to fail)

Rip it up and tear it down
It weighs heavy on my soul.
Rip it up and tear it down
It weighs heavy on my soul.

TEAR IT OUT!!!
How could you let it fall?
The strain of the climb leaves you empty!

@ Shadows Fall

Текст песни:

The ghosts of past failures

Facing the reality
Of our own imperfections

The waves crash without warning
Overwhelmed and short of breath
Never able to escape
The bloodstains upon your hands

I AM! Still bleeding you
From wounds you′ve never known
I AM! Still bleeding you
From wounds you′ve never known

The core of our being
Torn out and cast aside

I never looked this far away
Never saw what lies ahead
In the midst of false comfort
The scars were hidden but never healed

I AM! Still bleeding you
From wounds you′ve never known
I AM! Still bleeding you
From wounds you′ve never known

@ Shadows Fall

Текст песни:

Choking in the grip of suspicion
Trapped beneath the sword of absolution
Escape is impossible, Indulge yourself in ignorance
Blocking out the sun, turning in the breeze
Hung high above in a noose of sympathy
What has become?
The seeds I"ve sown
Still haunting m endlessly
Escape is impossible
Indulge yourself in ignorance
What has become?
The seeds I"ve sown
Still haunting me endlessly
Thy will be done
All I′ve been shown
Is still haunting me endlessly
Escape is impossible
Indulge yourself ignorance
Choking in the grip of suspicion
Trapped beneath the sword of absolution
Through the souls of ages
This deceitful elevation
Collapsing into rages
From corrupted meditations
What hs become?
The seeds I′ve sown
Still haunting me endlessly
Thy will be done
All I′ve been shown
Is still haunting me endlessly
Indulge in the pleasures of the fallen
Give yourslef away

@ Shadows Fall

Текст песни:

The threads of life start to tear
Hang above the pit of our despair
Seems the end is growing near
The life you knew will disappear
Every human life will overlap and intertwine
Create the fabric and the destiny of mankind
START THE FIRES TILL THEY SURROUND
They start the fires burning until they surround
Is there nothing left
Worth fighting for?
Forever more
Beneath the waterline
Sinking further down
I dwell in silence now
Awake and face the truth of all that you have lost
A tongue tied explanation raining down from scattered thoughts
START THE FIRES TILL THEY SURROUND
They reinforce their doubts until they draw blood
Forever more
Beneath the waterline
Sinking further down
I dwell in silence now
Forever more
I will leave this world behind
Finally I drown
I dwell in silence now

@ Shadows Fall

Текст песни:

Where has it gone?
Have all the words collapsed?

Inspiration on demand
Emotions all displaced.

And I will wander endlessly

Seeking all the answers that I let slip
through my fingers.
I will wander endlessly
Seeking all the answers that
I let slip and fall away.

Turn it all around
It melts into sound
(unfolding... ever growing)

Torn from my rest
Though I still fight to stay.
The images dissolve
As the day invades

A second to react
The mind too slow to act
(unfolding... ever growing)

A vicious thirst to know
The answers dream may hold
(unfolding... ever growing)

Drown the voices of restraint
Make them choke on silence

Incinerate the ropes
And embrace the hope
(unfolding... ever growing)

Splintering the doors
Free the mind to soar
(unfolding... ever growing)

Turn it all around
It melts into sound

@ Shadows Fall

Текст песни:

Intimidation
I stand before you now
Hold my ground, you won′t strike me down
A validation
Of all the blood I spilled
Survival of my will
There′s nothing left to say
Yourself you have betrayed
We must try to seize the day
All the world will hear you
Redemption in the power of the sound
Interpretation
Of all the thoughts I shared
Draw you near, creating all your fear
A brand new nation
For those who preserve
The future is so clear
A validation of all the blood I spilled
A validation... All your blood spilt

@ Shadows Fall

Текст песни:

You will never
Give the power
To the powerless
Your new ideal
Has Grown
Beyond your control
Can you ever find yourslef again?
Your vision distroting
Knowing it will never end
Can′t see through your eyes
Can you imagine
What is only
One step away?
The potential
Is waiting
Just beyond your grasp
Can you ever find yourslef again?
Your vision distorting
Knowing it will never end
Can you keep fighting on and on?
THIS FALSE ME
WILL BURN
IN EFFIGY!!!
It′s so easy
To relax and wathch from afar
It′s so easy yo give in to inertia
Can you ever find yourself again?
Your vision distorting
Knowing it will never end
Can′t see through your eyes

@ Shadows Fall

Текст песни:

Feel the cold hands upon me
Recollection of my betrayal

My betrayal!

It is not the pain inside yourself
That tears the deepest wounds

I drift along suspended in shadows
Cold memories escape the haze
With sobriety comes recollection

It is not the pain inside yourself
That tears the deepest wounds

It is the pain that you create
That shreds your very soul

A specter of despair
Built on good intentions

It is the pain that you create
That shreds your very soul

@ Shadows Fall

Текст песни:

The echoes creep into your dreams
Torn awake from your sleep
Unholy nightmare of savagery
THIS CAN NOT BE!
The warmth soaks into your fingers and soothes away the pain
Franticly replay the days
The tattered clothes still drape your frame
Crimson cloaked memories
Blood soaked destiny
This can not be the way it seems
Incapable of these things
Lost hold of demons inside of me
(The damage done)
The desolation that′s inside us
This violence lurks beneath the skin
(Beneath the skin)
Do not be fooled by the quiet
(What I′ve become)
This silent killer dwells within
The conclusion comes crashing in
This is happening once again!
Can it be that I am capably murderous?

@ Shadows Fall

Текст песни:

I′d never leave you
But fate has come to silence me
It′s become so hard to breathe
I can not reach you
And soon the earth will cover me
Darkness is all that I see
Forever is waiting
The final steps you′re taking
Will soon be buried in the sand
All the battles
They say we won
They leave another thousand lives undone
Another thousand lives undone
Forever is waiting
The final steps you′re taking
Will soon be buried in the sand
You′re gone, but not forgot
Another hero lost
The sorrow builds with every passing
All the lessons that you taught
And all the light you brought
Lives on in the eyes of your son
