Something This Way Comes
01:11
|
|||
We stacked 15 stones
At the head of the path
In an attempt to steer them away
From the fall children
With the crooked smiles
Amongst the graves and the fallen leaves
I said sinners repent
Cause its the only way
And there's no other means to escape the fate
And once you bear your pain to the wolf in the shadows
He will walk you towards the rotting gates
Wash it away...

Resurrection
03:12
|
|||
She's got a skull painted on her face
She's standing at the foot of my grave
I'm praying that my soul is pure enough to escape this fate
There's a whisper creeping from the woods
The diamond-eyed wolf has hid as long as she could
My resurrection lightning strikes and I breathe again
Now the cool rain falls but I can't feel it no more
There's a darkness where there was bright light before
Six shots that struck me dead still buried in my heart
But against the will of Christ I've risen from the dark
It feels like spitting in the face of God
No longer stranded as the man I once was
Even with all my misdeeds committed the Lord has told me I'm accepted
I'm Resurrected
A black cloud across the red night moon, night moon
From this shallow grave I sprung out 3 days to soon
A second chance to do what I was born to do
Now the cool rain falls but I can't feel it no more
There's a darkness where there was bright light before
Six shots that struck me dead still buried in my heart
But against the will of Christ I've risen from the dark
It feels like spitting in the face of God
No longer stranded as the man I once was
Even with all my misdeeds committed the Lord has told me I'm accepted
I'm Resurrected

Bear The Mark
03:10
|
|||
A flash of light it blinds my eyes I feel like death is watching
Calling from the shadows getting me back to my coffin
I ain't ready to stay dead yet
The cold air on my face
I got so much here left to do the Lords chained me in place
The afterlife ain't fit to hold a righteous man you see
The burden you carry is etched by fear, repent and walk with me
Are you saved child are you pure
Oh will you bear the mark
Your soul needs cleaned your heart is tainted Imma pull you from the dark
Oh darling end is coming on a tall white horse he rides
Death is lurking outside your windows, lets stand against the night
A cold cut cross is carved into the trees to mark my path
The devil in the deepest parts of bridges I've stormed past
The church bells ringing as they burn materials are null
I've moved myself to perch to see the world from up above
I know in my heart this ain't the end, the word it still needs spread
Imma saving souls from the devils touch even when they don't want it
Are you saved child are you pure
Oh will you bear the mark
Your soul needs cleaned your heart is tainted Imma pull you from the dark
Oh darling end is coming on a tall white horse he rides
Death is lurking outside your windows, lets stand against the night
Are you saved child are you pure
Oh will you bear the mark
Your soul needs cleaned your heart is tainted Imma pull you from the dark
Oh darling end is coming on a tall white horse he rides
Death is lurking outside your windows, lets stand against the night
Are you saved child are you pure
Oh will you bear the mark
Your soul needs cleaned your heart is tainted Imma pull you from the dark
Oh darling end is coming on a tall white horse he rides
Death is lurking outside your windows, lets stand against the night
Are you saved child are you pure
Oh will you bear the mark
Your soul needs cleaned your heart is tainted Imma pull you from the dark
Oh darling end is coming on a tall white horse he rides
Death is lurking outside your windows, lets stand against the night

Kill Again
03:34
|
|||
Twenty odd years of making mistakes
I dragged the body through the woods and sat down next to the lake
There was cool breeze blowing and from the mountain peaks and a shiver cut through me when the lord speaks
With the eyes all around me all hunting for my sins
I sneak into the dark never seen again
But a cold exiled death on this backwoods trail can't keep the wrath of man off my tail
I'll hide amongst the bones of the meek and feeble waiting for final judgment oh that righteous upheaval
When I'm meant to answer to a higher force and beg for mercy in front of the lord
I got a hunger that ain’t mine and its crippled me inside
I'm so hungry for the flesh amongst the trees I hide
When the trumpet sounds off and heavens burst to fire
The devil reaching for me cause of what’s deep inside
I can't contain my anger my rage or my animal instincts driving me to kill again
If I’m not caught driven down or buried now I’ll kill again
I'll kill again
I was born a monster in a world of violent beasts
My blatant cruel desires didn't make me feel unique
I see you try to hide the hate behind your eyes
But I never felt the need to lie until I realized
Its hypocrisy in full when we're caging up our devils even when we all want to do what's considered evil
We're twisted and distorted and love shedding blood
As a whole we'd rather kill when love is what we should
I'm marking up the trees with the sign I bear
Its brotherhood forever even if no one's here
A sheep you see is hiding from the moon but a ghost like me doesn't fear wolf tunes
A howling on the hills and the beating of wings
There’s a devil in the forest and it looks like me
Don't give in to sin unless you willing to hide because those who shine brightest are destined to die
I can't contain my anger my rage or my animal instincts driving me to kill again
If I’m not caught driven down or buried now I’ll kill again
I'll kill again
Everyone together we are doing things wrong
If my ghoulish haunted followers just play along
When the final days are shining just out over the hills
We can take all those we love with us enjoy the thrills
The judgment day is lurking just on the edge
There’s a second violent coming is your soul prepared
I've been playing and saving since I first learned to talk
I'm the corpse you wanna see strung up on that cross
I can't contain my anger my rage or my animal instincts driving me to kill again
If I’m not caught driven down or buried now I’ll kill again
I'll kill again

Doubt
03:54
|
|||
I watch the hours pass on by I feel every second linger
I'm sitting in the dark every sound it sends a shiver
Cause I shout and kick and yell when the eyes are turned to see
But behind my heavy doors, I doubt everything I say
I try and feel your presence, oh I want to justify
The things I say I feel and hear, nothings sitting right
Alone in this here dark as the Sunday sun goes down
I mouth the father's prayer but I only hear myself
Do I believe
In me
I don't know
Do I still hear
The righteous call
That heavenly tone
Angels will you hear my words and carry them away
To someone that'll listen that'll try and set me straight
Cause if I don't get ahold of faith, If I'm left here with this pain
I'll lose it to despair, shine on me your sweet grace
I’m feeling like a fraud when I take a step back
Preaching peace and love but living none of that
Do I do this for the righteous cause or have I lost my way
So scared in the face of eternal doom but stuck in my old ways
I wanna be the booming voice that steers you through the storm
But I can't convince myself in what I'm saying anymore
If I'm actually your vessel
If this temple is truly yours
Then send me down a sign cause Lord I'm feeling lost
Do I believe
In me
I don't know
Do I still hear
The righteous call
That heavenly tone
Angels will you hear my words and carry them away
To someone that'll listen that'll try and set me straight
Cause if I don't get ahold of faith, If I'm left here with this pain
I'll lose it to despair, shine on me your sweet grace
Angels will you hear my words and carry them away
To someone that'll listen that'll try and set me straight
Cause if I don't get ahold of fear, If I'm left here with this pain
I'll lose it to despair, shine on me your sweet grace
Shine on
On me
Shine on me
Oh grace give me life
Angels will you hear my words and carry them away
To someone that'll listen that'll try and set me straight
Cause if I don't get ahold of faith, If I'm left here with this pain
I'll lose it to despair, shine on me your sweet grace
Angels will you hear my words and carry them away
To someone that'll listen that'll try and set me straight
Cause if I don't get ahold of faith, If I'm left here with this pain
I'll lose it to despair, shine on me your sweet grace

Drownin' Demons
02:15
|
|||
Swinging from the ropes gonna drown your demons
All the laughter and the fits are righteous treason
Against the fear of the dark will they utter your name
You made a pact with the devil
And the curse must be lifted
By rope or by fire
We will be rid of your twisted
And vile ways
Oh lord guide your darkness on
In a shallow grave
By the ledge we lay your body down
Under stones or a stake
Your debt of blood will be paid up
Swinging from the ropes gonna drown your demons
All the laughter and the fits are righteous treason
Against the fear of the dark will they utter your name
Oh lord don't say my name again
Swinging from the ropes gonna drown your demons
All the laughter and the fits are righteous treason
Against the fear of the dark will they utter your name
Oh lord don't say my name again

Possession
03:08
|

Smile
It will end soon
The darkness you've accepted that shadow that’s consumed all of you
You're light
Snuffed to smoke
I’ve learned all the secret ways
To save your very soul
I saw that you were lost in a life of blackened sin
With a crow guiding your way into the wolves red hand
But darling your possession it ain’t nothing I can't cure
The power of Christ compels you back to something much more pure
Darling I've saved soul far worse than yours
Smile
I'm on his trail
The devil deep inside that’s tainting your flesh
Trying drag your soul to hell
Don't you fret darling
Imma sent here by the Lord
To drain the tar of Satan from the veins of the bodies abhorred
Some far worse than yours
I saw that you were lost in a life of blackened sin
With a crow guiding your way into the wolves red hand
But darling your possession it ain’t nothing I can't cure
The power of Christ compels you back to something much more pure
Darling I've saved soul far worse than yours
I saw that you were lost in a life of blackened sin
With a crow guiding your way into the wolves red hand
But darling your possession it ain’t nothing I can't cure
The power of Christ compels you back to something much more pure
Darling I've saved soul far worse than yours

Rest Without Peace
02:30
|
|||
All the darks thoughts that I keep from you
I can't stop thinking of you
Hold me closer an take a breath
I can feel my hands around your neck
Under the moonlight step into the white light
I'll keep you dressed in your Sunday best
I held you tight all safely entwined
Laid you down and kissed you one last time
My sweet Gloria
Why did things go this way
I dress you up and try to pretend
That everything is still the same
I know your hearts no longer beating
Eyes open wide its so misleading
As long as I draw shaky breath
You'll never find your peace in death
You'll never find your peace in death
All the misery I'm soaking in
The ghosts and woes still creeping in
Up all night with one regret
Was that final night I lost my shit
Under the moonlight dark blood in my eyes
The line was drawn my soul was lost
I fell to my knees the anger passed
And I could finally see all the mess
My sweet Gloria
Why did things go this way
I dress you up and try to pretend
That everything is still the same
I know your hearts no longer beating
Eyes open wide its so misleading
As long as I draw shaky breath
You'll never find your peace in death
You'll never find your peace in death
You'll never find your peace in death
You'll never find peace

Oath Breaker
04:13
|
|||
A promise is just words if you're intending something evil
I meant what I said but I guess it doesn't matter
You left me wounded
You took me for a fool, and I admitted that I fell
Hook through my heart and its dragging me towards hell
That’s were you're hiding, oath breaker
I gave you all I had and now sitting here in squalor
A hand burst from the dirt and it pulls me by the collar
Only life left to give, oath breaker
A man stripped of love and life and drinking off his sorrows
Starting to see red and I'm losing touch with all of the
Things that’d hold me back, oath breaker
I'm over all the lies and the stories you tell
The Lord will shine a light in this mortal hell
I'm losing my cool, losing my grip
Starting to snap, starting to slip
Carve out your apology, second chance to lie to me
This is the monster hiding underneath, you rotten bitch
I can smell your blood and you'll taste my vengeance
I been waiting out your window gonna burden you with penance
And you'll meet my god
Something in me broke and the sirens in the distance
As I'm snapping all your bones just to punctuate my sentence
You are not forgiven, oath breaker
You thought you were cruel then you met a righteous end
I'm the rising red dawn and I promise no friend
The seas of hell will greet you, oath breaker
At the end of my rope but you're gonna fall first
I gotta a taste for hate and Imma quench my thirst
On your pitiful pleas for release from my hellish wrath
I'm over all the lies and the stories you tell
The lord will shine a light in this mortal hell
I'm losing my cool, losing my grip
Starting to snap, starting to slip
Carve out your apology, second chance to lie to me
This is the monster hiding underneath
Ripping at the failing the failing seams
Starting to scream, pushing back
Blood for blood, break and snap
Burning down your precious dreams, a righteous kind of gluttony
I'm hungry for revenge against you, rotten bitch
I never met in life such a dirty little liar
You scared me one to many times and now i'm back in a righteous light
I never heard you scream so clear
But in your dying words you might as well finally done something honestly
I'm over all the lies and the stories you tell
The lord will shine a light in this mortal hell
I'm losing my cool, losing my grip
Starting to snap, starting to slip
Carve out your apology, second chance to lie to me
This is the monster hiding underneath
Ripping at the failing the failing seams
Starting to scream, pushing back
Blood for blood, break and snap
Burning down your precious dreams, a righteous kind of gluttony
I'm hungry for revenge against you watching smiling as you bleed
Take my life, take it all
Burn me down, burn it up
There’s a violent side I tried to hide, a fire boiling deep inside
You stoked the flames and now you'll pay, you rotten bitch

I Will Be Released
03:28
|
|||
As I'm laying here lord looking death in the face
My heart beats weak and my breath comes frail
The crying all around me in a piercing white noise
My eyes roll back and my skin turns pale
I'm hoping that my final words find your ears
And I'm hoping that these final moments end in grace
The blood in my mouth starts to pool in my lungs
And it won't be long before I'm at your gates
Saying it in praying tones and hoping that its working
As the river flows calm and I'm hearing it call me
The burning in my guts it's building and fierce
When my children pay in blood, pain, hatred and tears
The flies on my tongue hear my final words whispered
As what's left of me to rot is thrown into the river
Brother guide me on my descent to the water
My vision starts to blur and I can press on no longer
They're wailing in the woods and I'm growing sick and weak
The spirits of the fallen beckon me into sleep
Drape me in my robe and let my children watch
Cover my wounds with a sacred cloth
Praying death would claim me in this frail form
To wait in peace and glory until I am reborn
I will be, released
A porous corpses flowing down a lesser river Jordan
There's a goat on the shore and its pointing me forward
I can feel the waves rocking and the flames snuff out
As my burnt singed human form is pulled sky bound
The chanting in the trees crescendos I rise
To a deafening scream I can see the red eyes
Of the afterlife and strong force pulls me back
And new breath fills my lungs once again
Revival but I'm bound here in this rotting flesh
Damned to live my life as I died and do it again
Until the bell is rung I'm tied to this plain
And death will always skip me until my task is complete
Come hell or high water I will steer my flock
To the glory of the lord and from up above
Cleanse his crumbling planet of an infection of sinners
Once the earth is pure, shine upon me all his love
Brother guide me on my descent to the water
My vision starts to blur and I can press on no longer
They're wailing in the woods and I'm growing sick and weak
The spirits of the fallen beckon me into sleep
Living here forever trying to make the world clean
I can the hear the tortured souls stuck in between
I'm a swift sword, lord held, crusading rotting monster
And before I can rest I'll do the bidding of my father
Drape me in my robe and let my children watch
Cover my wounds with a sacred cloth
Praying death would claim me in this frail form
To wait in peace and glory until I am reborn
I need, released
Brother guide me on my descent to the water
My vision starts to blur and I can press on no longer
They're wailing in the woods and I'm growing sick and weak
The spirits of the fallen beckon me into sleep
Living here forever trying to make the world clean
I can the hear the tortured souls stuck in between
I'm a swift sword, lord held, crusading rotting monster
And before I can rest I'll do the bidding of my father
In these holy final moments you must repent
Dragged before the angels will you sin again?
A day of righteous judgement and of fire and of saving
If your soul is pure then you shouldn't fear my coming
Drape me in my robe and let my children watch
Cover my wounds with a sacred cloth
Praying death would claim me in this frail form
To wait in peace and glory until I am reborn
I will be, released

Hell To Pay
02:50
|

A trumpet sounds and your called home
On the third day the fire gonna come
And it ain't gonna save you much if you bury your head in the mud
Times like now its the end of them
Standing on the mountain they were warning when
We worship false idols god gonna send a flood
Nobody heard what the warnings saying
Everyone turned when the prophets called it
The end is a coming get to praying
The lord is a angry
Gates a hell been opened
Don't you try an blame me when the reaper comes a knocking
You ain't done nothing they don't know about
Leave the flesh God will sort us out
Judgment day has come and you waited far too long
Bell tolls once and you're on your feet
Looking for time but the clocks been beat
We lived against his law, god gonna send a flood
Nobody heard what the warnings saying
Everyone turned when the prophets called it
The end is a coming get to praying
The lord is a angry
Gates a hell been opened
Don't you try an blame me when the reaper comes a knocking
There will be hell to pay
There will be hell to pay
There will be hell to pay
There will be hell to pay
Nobody heard what the warnings saying
Everyone turned when the prophets called it
The end is a coming get to praying
The lord is a angry
Gates a hell been opened
Don't you try an blame me when the reaper comes a knocking
There will be hell to pay
There will be hell to pay
There will be hell to pay
There will be hell to pay

Sanctuary
02:47
|

Oh my god kids are you listening
Once again the evil is coming
Prayers sent to heaven are delivered back to sender
Amen I'm the righteous lightning
The end is near we are forgotten
Who are the false idols that you worshipped to damn us
Satan tapping at your door
He's here to claim your rotten soul
Shouldn't played at witchcraft less you rot away in hell
Ghosts and shadows on the streets
Its smells of death and rotting leaves
Tie me to stake and burn the evil from my soul
Gather children, fire is coming
Lay down your fears and let the evil in
Sanctuary, Armageddon
The bodies draped in silver at the gates of hell
Oh hell yeah the darkness looming
Gathered here outside the tomb
When God has forsaken us where is our mercy
Evil faces in the light
The blood stained hands around the knife
Tearing out your teeth to try and make amends
Life is sacred souls are worthless
Heavens closed and God has shunned us
Feral swine are left to roam and rut amongst the corpses
Open your eyes and shake the promise
The devils real and creeping towards us
Those who said his name will be the first he claims
Gather children, fire is coming
Lay down your fears and let the evil in
Sanctuary, Armageddon
The bodies draped in silver at the gates of hell
The gates of hell
The gates of hell

After The Witch
05:43
|
|||
If you're a sinner you know your place in life
If you're unholy, don't walk these woods at night
This forest it speaks and it calls to you in your dreams
So listen close darling, this tale isn't what it seems
Long ago down an ancient road in a place where the people don't tread
To haunted hollow in the center of the woods where even the air falls dead
They say a witch lived here, claim she stalked these parts
An old ghost from many years ago
No one left to tell the tale, so this is what I know
The young men went missing, the fairest women next
All those who returned claimed to have been hexed
Terror gripped over those in reach, unholy voices in the air
Madness struck and blood was sought, the holy lord fled in fear
If you don't believe in malicious beings, I advise you start believing now
Cause the beast it feeds on doubt and pain deep inside that rotting hollow
She promised sweets and delicious things and called to them in their sleep
They loaded guns and set the woods to burn to try a cure the evil things
After the witch, the madness stayed and it seemed to poison the land
Even in death, the terror held, and they fell into Satan's lap
Offers of prayers and sacrifice, they were left to feed on the weak
All were lost to despair and pain, and snuffed out with a scream
After the witch the beast set in and the forest where we now stand
Was given to the dark unholy things and cleansed of the touch of man
The shadows here still call for blood and I can tell you this I know is true
An offered soul, a pure sacrifice, and that is why I've brought you

Sacrifice
04:11
|

Baby
I'm sorry I can't hear your voice again
Worry
I've made so many mistakes I can't avenge
The calling
Told me it was time to bring you on
Crying
I drag you to the mountain as I'm told
I built my entire life around always having hope
The sacrifice you made brought me closer to the Lord
And when i hear the trumpet sound and beckon me back home
My body and my soul cry Hallelujah
Bloody
I'm washing it all off of my stained hands
Sorrow
The thought of giving up my dearest friend
Peaceful
Your soul is now ascending to the lord
Heaven
Has asked for you for living life so pure
I built my entire life around always having hope
The sacrifice you made brought me closer to the Lord
And when i hear the trumpet sound and beckon me back home
My body and my soul cry Hallelujah
I built my entire life around always having hope
The sacrifice you made brought me closer to the Lord
And when i hear the trumpet sound and beckon me back home
My body and my soul cry Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah

Beneath The Cellar
03:22
|

Hey little darling won't you come on in
Your momma's in the garden and it's after ten
While your daddies in the cellar with a devilish grin
1, 2, 3 Let the good lord in
Knock knock knocking on the floor
Comes a whisper and holler through the cellar door
Sent the heathens to the holler, lead the children from sin
1, 2, 3 Let the good lord in
It's time to repent
I got the bible in my hands
You got the gun pressed to his head
God knows we follow his commands
The lords word is, the lords word is
Sacrifice him
I ain't lookin for trouble it came looking for me
Down the little dark alleys, running through the trees
With a shot of gin kiss from a skeleton
1, 2, 3 Let the good lord in
Take your time and tell your momma goodbye
The light ahead is growing now ya dry yo eyes
Heaven or hell you must pay for your sins
1, 2, 3 Let the good lord in
It's time to repent
I got the bible in my hands
You got the gun pressed to his head
God knows we follow his commands
The lords word is, the lords word is
Sacrifice
His sins
It's time to repent
I got the bible in my hands
You got the gun pressed to his head
God knows we follow his commands
The lords word is, the lords word is
Sacrifice
His sins

Dogs Of The East
04:12
|
|||
I'm a sick dog, I'm dead, I'm dying
I've wandered off the beaten path
Perched on the top of the highest mountain
All those below me are drowning in sin
Preaching to all
Pearly white gates lay just beyond
Splitting red sea of woes and sorrows
And I'm stuck here til the savior is come
I can't forget the hell I've walked
The earth is scorched under the morning star touch
The dogs in the east, ride with the light
And death on their heels they chasing the dark
I'm the last holy man in the path
Blood on my hands, the wolves turning back
Don't tend to sin, repent to stave death
Up on the altar, I'm laying barren
Turning my will into harsh cold death
A merciless savior on torn black feathers
Killing the first to break from the pack
The oceans are drying
The bones washed ashore are blistered and broke
Dogs in the east are howling
Against the terror I'm bleeding out
I can't forget the hell I've walked
The earth is scorched under the morning star touch
The dogs in the east, ride with the light
And death on their heels they chasing the dark
I'm the last holy man in the path
Blood on my hands, the wolves turning back
Don't tend to sin, repent to stave death
I can't forget the hell I've walked
The earth is scorched under the morning star touch
The dogs in the east, ride with the light
And death on their heels they chasing the dark
I'm the last holy man in the path
Blood on my hands, the wolves turning back
Don't tend to sin, repent to stave death
