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

@ Shadows Fall

Текст песни:

Soon a darkened pyramid will rise
There will be no escaping from the all seeing eye
Lost in blindness
Serving shielded masters still unknown
Chaos is their goal
Corrupt you heart and soul
The air is getting thin
Will you give in?
All the voices of the lost and forgotten
Still lay in their graves they′ve been silenced for their thoughts
Lost in blindness
The history is written in their blood
Chaos is their goal
Corrupt you heart and soul
The air is getting thin
Will you give in?
Burning the lives and the pride of the innocents
Tearing down all that we built!

@ Shadows Fall

Текст песни:

Drowning yourself in a world of lies
Wandering lost, until the ego dies
Perceptions been tainted by your lack of free will
We have become what we once most feared

The brilliance of the light′s been dulled to grey
Denying our souls of the most noble truths
Trapped within and blinded by youth

We must end this wicked game
Mourning a dead world
Empty life of relentless shame
Mourning a dead world
See through what′s been taught to you
Mourning a dead world
Breathe in life and seek the truth
Mourning a dead world rus:]

As progress paves the forest and paints the sky
Cities rise like cancer, rive of life is dry
Spirits of ancients will then awake a rise
The seal is broken, final sign of our demise

We must end this wicked game
Mourning a dead world
Empty life of relentless shame
Mourning a dead world
See through what′s been taught to you
Mourning a dead world
Breathe in life and seek the truth
Mourning a dead world

Awake and rise
Redemption fires
Burn the lies
Redemption fires

Текст песни:

(In the) Darkened shroud of morning
Simplified in face and stature
Blessing in the storming
Sweetness of a subtle feature
Alone and safe inside
Without worry, with out knowing who′s
Been cast aside
Twisted down, escape to rest

I will writhe in my December

These crafted understandings
Smother citadel defending
They′ll miss a motive is cast together
(The) comfort, effort in the end
Alone and safe inside
Without worry
Who′s been kept alive
Without knowing

I will writhe in my December

Learned, learned I love the air here
And I learned, learned
I love the roar in my ears
I satiate this urge of mine
I substitute the urge to hide
Alone, alone and safe inside

@ Shadows Fall

Текст песни:

Reflecting on this life
Through the eyes of ancients
The wisdom of beyond
CHANT! Chant them down
DOWN! Into nothing
This power screams out from within
Like the trees that struggle towards the sun
Once again in due season we are reborn
Strike down the heathen. THIS MUST END
Swaying deeply in rhythm with the winds
There are eternal lessons within its pulse
Raising their false banners of hope
Lies everlasting
Fighting to save their self interest
DREAD UPRISING!
An end to it all
DREAD UPRISING
Watch as they fall

@ Shadows Fall

Текст песни:

When you never know
Is when its always there.

It seemed so clear...

The slightest touch
To catch the breath.
It turns it all around

Single path that I can see.
Emptiness Devours me.

Enlightened by the cold.
It overcomes the torment.
(What if I could bring you back?)
Enlightened by the cold.

Let it hit with force
Strong enough to blind.
The numbness heals.

My worth is only defined
by the next disaster

@ Shadows Fall

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:

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:

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
