Текст песни:

Shepherd is chased by the wolves
Wolves who lives by intolerance and hate
For what they couldn′t understand

Blinded and vicious are the beast
Bleeding and ripping at a beautiful human
Who did nothing more than be himself

Tied to the fences as they break you
And sadness will sear
Cold is the wind that will freeze you
And sadness will sear

Scarecrow is left crucified, left freezing, bleeding
Tired, and wondering why. The wolves just couldn′t understand
It′s the preacher, and the teachers,
Government, close-minded creatures
Try to teach us to hate that which is different

Tied to the fences as they break you
And sadness will sear
Cold is the wind that will freeze you
And sadness will sear

It′s 12:53 AM
October 12th when the scarecrow died
A victim of society′s cruelty
It′s 12:53 AM
October 12th when the shepherd died
The candles light will alight your departure

[Solo: Matt]

Tied to the fences as they break you
And sadness will sear
Cold is the wind that will freeze you
And sadness will sear

[Solo: Corey]

[Solo: Matt]

Just when they thought you were through
You′ve burned their lies, now you′re strengthened it′s true
Turn your backs on your enemies
And let those motherfuckers rot in their jealousy

They
Can′t stand
That the worlds up for taking and we are adamant
Hell bent
Determined to dominate everything

We are the fire
Resound the anthem

The music connects, unites us more
Our masses strengthened, an unstoppable horde
We′re all now a family
Together let′s show the world what we say

@ Trivium

Текст песни:

All this life shrouded in a veil
Of deception in association
But now I will witness thee
With unblinding open eyes
Judas I bury you in your own blood
You only held me down from what I was suppose to be
Ascend above the ashes of the world I once knew
Ascendancy is the only thing this will prove
I spread the fuel with ire
Desire
To incinerate all - Behold I rise - phoenix
Ascend above the ashes
Ascend above it all

@ Trivium

Текст песни:

You cannot be, you′re the mistake: calamity
Sent to destroy all of the good
on this Earth, killing me

You′re killing me

The mother of ruination comes to fuck all
Mutilating everything, spread wide open, beckoning
Beckoning me

Spiral faster down
Ripping a hole through the air we breathe
An apocalypse
Encased in a shell, so beautiful

The calamity makes its way to the inside
I know we are feeling the same thing
The calamity makes its way to the inside
To eat away at our existence

Spewed from the wound of this life′s worst cavity; the
Nightmare spreads it′s cancerous lamentations, poisoning
Force-feed the plague

Drunk from the milk of death′s overflowing sick tit
Nourishing the misery, gives birth to the ugliness
That grows inside

Spiral faster down
Ripping a hole through the air we breathe
An apocalypse
Encased in a shell, so beautiful

The calamity makes its way to the inside
I know we are feeling the same thing
The calamity makes its way to the inside
To eat away at our existence

Isolate
The heart from the brain
Permeate
Inject us with pain

Holding our breath now
We′re screaming without sound
We′re trembling as everything falls completely apart
Meteor crash down
Come crater our woe out
The banishment of everything once alive will start now

solo: MKH

solo: CKB

Holding our breath now
We′re screaming without sound
The banishment of everything once alive will start now

You came to be, you′re the mistake: calamity
Here to destroy all of the good on this Earth, killing all
Killing us all

Spiral faster down
Ripping a hole through the air we breathe
An apocalypse
Encased in a shell, so beautiful

The calamity makes its way to the inside
I know we are feeling the same thing
The calamity makes its way to the inside
To eat away at our existence

Текст песни:

Mistaken identity
You really got this one wrong
Racially singled out
He must have a gun
And yet you get off with no time
How can this be the answer?
No crime yet they shot away
He now lies dead, the blood is on your hands
Hands which were supposed to protect
People like the man you blew away
This isn′t justice, this is corruption

The four protectors fired 41 shots
Hitting him 19 times
Searching the body there were no weapons found
He lies with all who died in vain

Murder must still be a crime
When our inherent freedom
It′s hatefully gunned down by who we entrust
And yet you get off with no time
How can this be the answer?
No crime yet they shot away
He now lies dead, the blood is on your hands
Hands which were supposed to protect
People like the man you blew away
This isn′t justice, this is corruption

The four protectors fired 41 shots
Hitting him 19 times
Searching the body there were no weapons found
He lies with all who died in vain

Contempt breeds contamination
Contempt breeds contamination
Contempt breeds contamination
Contempt breeds contamination

[Solo: Matt]

Текст песни:

Freedom is all I have to say in defence
Of what the world′s becoming
A nation hell bent on choosing what′s right
And how we all should live our lives
Fuck their ways it is time to break free
Fuck their hate acceptance is what we need
Equality for every race, sex, sexuality
And every choice to live our lives
And to you bigot cretin ignoramus
Mind your own goddamn fucking business
Holding onto what makes us whole
Never letting their poison take control
Freezing the air (that stands between all of us)
Closing the eyes (bear witness to me)
Freezing the Fear (that stands between all of us)
Closing the eyes (bear witness to me)
I′ll be right here
Falling away
Fighting on principle
I′ll die 1000 times
Before I′ll ever be them
Burn the scriptures
bury the governing
Free yourself
Break the structures
Declare Freedom

Текст песни:

Pull the blood upon your face
Grip dementia
I am now enslaved through hate
Suffer my fate decide

Decide

Shot in their blackened tombs
Death burning my eyes
Invert birth great fiery womb
Time to ever die

Die
Feeling death consuming
Deaths head all around me

Feel death round
Feel death bound

Demons scream and pull me in
Look behold the flesh
Kingdom built of rotting skin
Enter gates of hell

Feel life die
Feel you die

@ Trivium

Текст песни:

This weight is so unbearable caving my lungs
All my life seems to be flashing in front of my eyes
Run away from all the pain of life
Ways of devotion turn to obsession open your eyes
I want you to see what you′ve done to me crying out those eyes
Bring my end to an end
Distance yourself from the pain that covers me
I reach out for your hand to find there′s nothing left for me
Razors kiss the vein overdose for pain
A 12 gauge cross kisses the forehead a saviour in a shell
Sever me from the fall
Fuck the people, Fuck the world, Fuck it all
Open my arms
Bleed out the flood
In crimson I begin to drown

Текст песни:

[Verse:]
That′s the sound of humanity melting away
Say goodbye it′s the end of days
Fire rains down on the American dream
Watch all you love see them scream

Each will dig their own graves
And bury themselves in life′s failures

It′s all bombs we′ve masterminded lighting the skies
Hideous misfires, many die
Those who survive soon will suffocate
By the poisons we create

Each will dig their own graves
And bury themselves in life′s failures

De-to-na-tion, De-to-na-tion

When civilization crumbles, man will turn
On one another, killing true

[Solo: Matt, Corey]

The darkest of time will then come to be
Through our selfish killer instinct

[Chorus:]
And now the ground we called a home
Is but a barren wasteland
The only sound drowning your cries
Is the detonation

[Solo: Corey]

[Bridge:]
It seems I′m running out of time
All good as dead just stand in line [x2]

[Solo: Matt]

[Chorus:]
And now the ground we called a home
Is but a barren wasteland
The only sound drowning your cries
Is the detonation

[Solo: Corey]
