Through our bleeding we are one! 
Through our bleeding we are one! 
Through our bleeding we are one! 
Through our bleeding we are one! 

Through the darkness breakes the light 
Through the light unending pain 
Deify the wretched ones 
Till the darkness comes again. 

Through our bleeding we are one! 
Through our bleeding we are one! 
Through our bleeding we are one! 
Through our bleeding we are one!

Porphria Cutanea Tarda 

I know... 
It´s here we retreat, for what esle would we go? 
To great disbelief there is somewhere we belong 
In negative space supposed flaws go unseen 
But our strengh is shown 

In darkness together we´re bringing the light 
In darkness together we are forming the fire 
Tomorrow is born of the night 
In darkness together we ignite! 

From all we´ve been shunned but we´ve found a new home 
To great discontent it is greatness that we own 
In luminous eyes reflections of fear absolute... 
All hate what we´ve become 

In darkness together we´re bringing the light 
In darkness together we are forming the fire 
Tomorrow is born of the night 
In darkness together we ignite! 

When daylight forms blinding walls where do we go? 
Days, arid are scorched all. 
When daylight forms blinding walls where do we go? 
Days, arid are scorched all. 
When daylight forms blinding, blinding walls where do we go? 
The darkness calls. 
When daylight forms blinding walls where do we go? 
The darkness calls.

Exsanguination 

Welcome the whole new pain and take comfort in all you´ve become 
I waved as i passed myself along the way 
I have arrived so unashamed 
But my reflection no longer seems the same 
It seems much dimmer now 
...it semms so dim 

Just stumble and fall 
Into a world that´s overcrowded 
And you will find me 
Won´t recognize me 
I won´t recognize myself 

I have arrived so unashamed 
But all my sensed no longer seem the same 
I can sense everything 
My sight´s so clear 

Just stumble and fall 
Into a world that´s overcrowded 
And you will find me 
Won´t recognize me 
I won´t recognize myself 

I an instant 
My life just slipped away 
I fought for life the whole time you were 
Holding me down 
You watched me dying holding me down 
You brought my rebirth holding me down 
You watched me dying holding me down 
You brought my rebirth. 

Just stumble and fall 
Into a world that´s overcrowded 
And you will find me 
Won´t recognize me 
I won´t recognize myself!

Malleus Maleficarum 

Open my eyes as i submerge and i won´t deny what i´ve been since birth 
I´ll die drowned by your standards 
Breathe in the life of the summer´s death as the orange and red greathe their first breath 
So welcome as they´re burning through 

We all begin to burn 
Autumn´s flame dances in my eyes 
Set alight for all we´ve learned 
My ashes falling 

My skin is signed but it heals my heart and with glowing pride i´ll wear my scars 
I´m honored my your hatred 
Leaves fall, we arise again and the impending it will begin 
So welcome as it´s burning through 

We all begin to burn 
Autumn´s flame dances in my eyes 
Set alight for all we´ve learned 
My ashes falling 
Can you fell it? 

Go! Woh-oh 
Go! Woh-oh 
Go! Woh-oh 
Go! Woh-oh 

Ashes fall and i´m rising up again 
Ashes fall and i´m rising up again 
Ashes fall and i´m rising up again 
Ashes fall and i´m rising up again 
Ashes fall and i´m rising up again 
Ashes fall and i´m rising up again 
Ashes fall and i´m rising up again 
Ashes fall 
ashes fall fall fall! 
ashes fall as we all arise. 

We all begin to burn 
Autumn´s flame dances in my eyes 
Set alight for all we´ve learned 
My ashes falling 
Can you fell it? 

Go! Woh-oh 
Go! Woh-oh 
Go! Woh-oh 
Go! Woh-oh!

Narrative Of Soul Against Soul 

To the wounded 
I have seen 
The self image that they´ve forced you to reduce to shattered glass 
With the only remaining value lying in its jagged edges 

But the few who warrant waking for 
Await their recognition 
No fear of death but with fear of life 
Your weakness kills everyone 
So live! 

(For no lack of searching i cant seem to find one, seem to find one) 
Angels for everyone 
(What of all their promises? Can´t seem to find much more than lies) 
Angels in everyone 
Angels in anyone 

A permanent solution 
To a temporay problem 
Before i´d lay me dowm to rest 
I´d throw away everything 
To live 

(For no lack of searching i cant seem to find one, seem to find one) 
Angels for everyone 
(What of all their promises? Can´t seem to find much more than lies) 
Angels in everyone 
(For no lack of searching i cant seem to find one, seem to find one) 
Angels for everyone 
(What of all their promises? Can´t seem to find much more than lies) 
Angels in anyone. 

GO!! 

(For no lack of searching i cant seem to find one, seem to find one) 
Angels for everyone 
(What of all their promises? Can´t seem to find much more than lies) 
Angels in everyone 
(For no lack of searching i cant seem to find one, seem to find one) 
Angels for everyone 
(What of all their promises? Can´t seem to find much more than lies) 
Angels in anyone!

Clove Smoking Catharsis 

Lean against the night and laugh 
As i try to scale the walls 
Ignored futility fills the air 
You´re only there to watch me fall watch me fall watch me 

....if only pure sweetness was offered 
Why´s this this bitter taste left in my mouth? 
If i could catch my breath 
Just to exhale 
I´d know that i held it in too long 

From aboved comes a faint smile 
A new vantage such a view 
Familarity now disowned 
Just sit and stare as I walk away walk away walk away 

....if only pure sweetness was offered 
Why´s this this bitter taste left in my mouth? 
If i could catch my breath 
Just to exhale 
I´d know that i held it in too long 

....if only pure sweetness was offered 
Why´s this this bitter taste left in my mouth? 
If i could catch my breath 
Just to exhale 
I´d know that i held it in too long 

....if only pure sweetness was offered (this bitter taste) 
Why´s this this bitter taste left in my mouth? (this sweetness) 
If i could catch my breath (my breath) 
Just to exhale 
I´d know that i held it in too long

The Prayer Position 

Now peel the skin back form the flesh 
Steal the flesh back from the starving static minds 
From nature we must stray 
To clarity we´ll climb 
Deadly impulse seems so natural 
Just look beyond it and we´ll find (we will find) 

A brand new evolution 
Here begins a brand new line 
And in the distance there´s a gathering that no longer seems so far away 

Pushed to our knees so let us pray 
All together we´ll bring the real rain 
Watch all that´s wasted wash away (wash away) 
So let it come 
Our will be done. 

Stature retrieved regain our from 
Break free from insinct that´s left us all confined 
From nature we must stray 
To clarity we´ll climb 
Tradition ingrained, now impermissible 
Now comes a call for all to find (we will find) 

A brand new evolution 
Here begins a brand new line 
And in the distance there´s a gathering that no longer seems so far away 

Pushed to our knees so let us pray (let us pray) 
All together we´ll bring the real rain 
Watch all that´s wasted wash away (wash away) 
So let it come 
Our will be done. 

I can´t help but fear look to my species and tremble to think that God is just...go! 
And in the distance there´s a gathering that no longer seems so far away 

Pushed to our knees so let us pray (let us pray) 
All together we´ll bring the real rain 
Watch all that´s wasted wash away (wash away) 
So let it come 
Our will be done.

No Poetic Device 

I´ve been dreaming I´ve been dreaming i was lucid 
Blood was seeping it was seeping from my pores 
Who´d belive that it was all my own decision? 

Cracked faces and medicated smiles 
Set fire to my home before i return and walked back in 
For every needle open in my chest and insert ten pins 
I just anticipate what awaits when I awake...break... 
I (I) die (die) in my daydreams! 

I´ve been dreaming I´ve been dreaming i was lucid 
Blood was seeping it was seeping from my pores 
Who´d belive that it was all my own decision? 

The gardens have all been overgrown 
I pushed my hand through the thorns just to crush the final rose 
A deadly secret only i suffer to know 
I can´t eradicate what awaits when i awake...break 
I (die) die in my daydreams... 

I´ve been dreaming I´ve been dreaming i was lucid 
Blood was seeping it was seeping from my pores 
Who´d belive that it was all my own decision. 

(I´ve been) dreaming I´ve been dreaming i was lucid 
(Blood was) seeping it was seeping from my pores 
(Who would) belive that it was all my own decision? 

I´ve been dreaming I´ve been dreaming i was lucid 
Blood was seeping it was seeping from my pores 
Who´d belive that it was all my own decision?

The Last Kiss 

Hung in your room swaying hoping only that you´ll see 
All by myself i´m alone in such poor company 
The deeper i think the deeper i seem to sink 
I can´t stop the insects that are feeding 
Pull the needles from beneath my skin 

I broke myself shattered tied a bow around every piece 
You´ll love the eyes have they always shone so vacantly? 
The more i show the less you´ll want to know 
I can´t stop the insects that are feeding 
Pull the needles from beneath my skin 

Now i´m on display - i am becoming 
Hurt myself today - it´s all for you 
Do you like, do you like what i´m becoming? 
Cut myself today - it´s all for you 

i part the night flashing apporaching as i watch you flee 
Pushed through your panes seems i´ve landed quite uncomfortably but 
As i pass through souls of broken galss 
I can´t stop the insects that are feeding 
Pull the needles from beneath my skin 

Now i´m on display - i am becoming 
Hurt myself today - it´s all for you 
Do you like, do you like what i´m becoming? 
Cut myself today - it´s all for you 

Please don´t ask me what i am 
Trust me, you don´t want to know 
Please don´t ask me to open up 
Trust me, trust me, cause i can´t... 
Stop the insects that are feeding 
Pull the needles from beneath my skin 

Now i´m on display - i am becoming 
Hurt myself today - it´s all for you 
Do you like, do you like what i´m becoming? 
Cut myself today - it´s all for you 
It´s all for you

Weathered Tome 

They´re coming round again 
I´ve returned and they´ve been waiting 
Their aged offerings recieved and returned passed through wet eyes 

I tremble as i feel them rolling in for 
My sins the old ghosts know 
So chilling as i feel them mourn within my soul 
As the mourning grows 

Unfold before me 
Turn back the page again (again) 
Twenty-four hours spent wishing that the day was never ending 

Shadows of glory 
Shading my heart again 
Recall the summer when i left my heart to cool beneath the shadows 

I´m coming round again 
I´ve returned and no one´s been waiting 
I strain my eyes to see but it´s so hard to read old tags on fallen walls. 

I tremble as i feel them rolling in for 
My sins the old ghosts know 
So chilling as i feel them mourn within my soul 
As the mourning grows 

Unfold before me 
Turn back the page again (again) 
Twenty-four hours spent wishing that the day was never ending 

Shadows of glory 
Shading my heart again 
Recall the summer when i left my heart to cool beneath the shadows

At A Glance 

No haven now as i watch it pour from everywhere 
Just like the storm that has come out of thin air 
Gentle caresses just as paper thin 
Frail and only 
Lack the strength to hold 

What if i could go to sleep for days 
Would you count the hours 
Or would you restlessness consume fading memories of me? 

Fall into open arms that offer their protection 
Quick to deny that they´re open deceit 
Long to belive that support will never cease 
Bitter and lonley 
Those they´ve left before 

What if i could go to sleep for days 
Would you count the hours 
Or would you restlessness consume fading memories of me? 

The vibrant heart so quickly growing old 
The warmest eyes so quickly growing cold 
Just a glance for they don´t care to see what becomes of me 
The vibrant heart so quickly growing old 
The warmest eyes so quickly growing cold 
Just a glance for they don´t care to see what becomes of me 
What becomes of me what becomes of me! 

What if i could go to sleep for days 
Would you count the hours 
Or would you restlessness consume... 

What if i could go to sleep for days 
Would you count the hours 
Or would you restlessness consume fading memories of me?

God Called In Sick Today 

Let´s admire the pattern forming 
Murderous filigree 
I´m caught in the twisting of the vine 
Go ascend with ivy climbing 
Ignore and leave for me 
The headstone crumbling behind 

I can´t help my laughter as she cries 
My soul brings tear to angelic eyes 

Let´s amend the classic story 
Close it so beautifully 
I´ll let animosity unwind 
Steal away the darkened pages 
Hidden so shamefully 
I´ll still feel the violence of the lines 

I can´t stand my laughter as they cry 
My soul brings tears to angelic eyes 
And miles away my mother cries 
Omnipotence nurturing malevolence 

I can´t stand my laughter as they cry 
My soul brings tears to angelic eyes 
And miles away my mother cries 
Omnipotence nurturing malevolence
