All That Is Left
06:04

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

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

In An Endless Maze
03:53
|

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

Poisons Made To Please
09:09
|

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
