These halls are filled with ghosts Cold and empty Pain consumes the air Fell it in thee A home without a light Just walls and the memories All that is left is a pair of corpses dressed in their Sunday best Singing the song of where it went wrong You can’t see them but they can see you Just sit and watch the objects move Under the stars Death-like silence ringing in your head Sensing that everyone is dead You’re not alone Love used to be the center of this place Toxic thoughts had soon brought to waste their lives in the house built beneath the stars Another watched one by one as they ripped apart their flesh and hung it on the wall All that is left is a pair of corpses dressed in their Sunday best Singing the song of where it went wrong Run, run, as fast as you can All that’s here is death and sin

Cages 04:51
Taste of blood fresh upon my lips Waking up to unfamiliar screams I’ve been here before Maybe I never left Crawling on the ground I see through the cage You sharpening the blade Your eyes fixed on my flesh Dead whores piled up miles high with shackle scars around their wrists Each one smiled until the end Their skin is all I smell Laughter surrounds me now In all of this I still see through the I see through the cage You sharpening the blade This place will always be my home The torment that we share is our surroundings We scream and beg for one final breath The bodies are burning We’re forced to die this way Blood flowing from my neck I fall to the floor reflecting every move It’s all so blank I can’t see a thing There’s only a vision remaining for me I see through the cage You sharpening the blade That struck me down Send me away

Running, running through the fields Everything looks the same The garden takes flesh and blood A maze with no return I have come to drag you with me I have come to show you hell Don’t look so scared You asked for this Just like I once had done Lost along that grueling road, I chose the woods of the unknown We are here to roam without fear We are here Condemn us all The sky is filled with desolance Let’s begin our brand new testament Light the fire to show us the way as we journey through this endless maze Come take my hand Let me show you the life that’s within the choices that we’ve made Let it sink in You have the rest of time to feel all the emptiness Embrace the fear It’s all we’ll ever have Thunderous sounds are coming from above Care not we’re judged Let them watch and laugh All the angels The air we breathe suddenly is poisoning The flowers dying all around We are crippling I am here to feel this with you Here we are We live in hell The end has come at last We’ve made our bed to lie in it Let the rain run over us Our story told in books of dust We live here Always and forever now We live here Our endless hell

Long ago I lived alone The world around me free to take My journeys took me far Faces always passing me by No company I kept could satisfy the fire that burned deep within me A curse to pass on to those who believed in me I chose my poisons so carefully Each one had served its purpose or so it had seemed Medicate the demon in me Feed the beast that dwells inside I’m living for this, the dirt and the filth Our blissful days of never-ending sin Forget how it started and don’t worry about the end For I will find out soon enough So cheers to the past and cheers to the dead This is the life of the left hand I chose my poisons so carefully Each one had served its purpose or so it had seemed Medicate the demon in me Feed the beast that dwells inside I’m living for this, the dirt and the filth Our blissful days of never-ending sin Here’s to the night Bury each glass just to feel alive Throwing away my precious lifeline Who needs it when the devil’s on my side? A right hand man to lead me through the night We search for our prey when the morning comes alive If I survive the next days, things can always stay the same Claw at my skin Taste all this sin We’ve been brewing it since we first met Numb all the feelings They’re pointless anyway The beauty of choking in a midnight rest If I survive the next days, things can always stay the same A gorgeous angel walks right out the door A breath of smoke leaving my lungs I close my eyes and sink down to earth Counting my scares I can’t help but laugh This demon is real and he’s staying with me Pretend I care It’s not enough I chose my poison and its tasting good Bring me smiles of joyful pain Bring me the tears of regret and shame Eyes glowing red and smeared lipstick face The true beauty of lustful prey Let it run through my veins This demon is real and he’s staying with me
