- Americans
I appeared out of the dark after your father passed
I stood and took the place of all that emptiness
You said that you never thought that God existed,
But someone had to answer
To coincidences
So we'll just play it safe
And we'll forget that we ever had any questions
(Yeaaaaaaa!)
- Architeuthis
We’re standing in water
Suppressed by manmade embankment.
And you were just a channel
Heading westward from my arms,
From my choleric heart,
From my calm yet desperate hands,
Seeking to tear each limb from every second guess.
With a choleric heart,
- Charmer
End me like a sick dog.
Lose my body in vain.
Break my horse’s legs.
Store me in a vase.
I’ll fight my way out by teeth.
Wave the stampede on with a flag.
While you’ve convinced yourself of your existence,
As the only form of life,
- Hard Branch To Snap
The lights were everywhere and I stood by the crash
They told me if I stayed that I would never forget
But you were in there; tell me, how could I want that?
So I stood right there; they couldn't force me back
because no one can hold me back but myself
If I can do this without you, I don't need their help
The time we waste; can't get it back
- Hell Praiser
I want to see the powerless rise
and burn everything you have
I want the black seas to rise and devour the warships
until they're floating through corpses
I want the blackest of clouds to infect all the drones
until the missiles rain down on your homes
- In Wolves
Your life isn't everything you thought, but so what?
I know, I know you think you're trying,
Examining and constantly rearranging it all.
Your head is weakening, held down by fear.
You're so young, you shouldn't be afraid of anything.
Our lives are the sum of what we all accomplish.
So stand with me now.
- Lamnidae
Another day is slipping away from us.
Their kingdoms can’t outlast the hopelessness we know.
We’re barricaded in and we’re desperate.
Eternity will never claim me from my throne.
This is my last chance to pull out my teeth,
Pull out all my teeth from my own tongue.
- Monuments
Harsh spoken cadence
Are these crooked lines we walk by,
Yet brilliant beasts of flight
Don’t cease to line our roads home,
Drowned amongst a sea of faintly falling ashes.
We cannot come back here.
Speaking through the slit in your tongue.
Crying out that you belong.
- Revenant
We've been leaving too many tracks,
The last unit of the pack still seeks our bones.
I thought that dominance meant more to these dogs...
Stop dragging your feet -
You want to end up like everyone else?
You want to end up like them?
You want to end up like everyone else?
- Subverse
Guilty masses of men, simply falling apart. Just stop and pick up your jaw. Just stop and pick up your jaw.
Been evading the shots that they make in the dark. Open up these graves so we can feed our homeland.
I’m putting up the fight of my life-
Is it better just to lay arms and withdraw?
If there’s war in my blood, genocide in my veins, cut me open and run. Cut me open and run.
Doesn’t matter which nail that it’s under again, the dirt is always going to be there.
I’m putting up the fight of my life-
Is it better just to lay arms and withdraw?
- We Are Debt
I clipped off my claws,
In defense of my weary eyes.
And I have been one acquainted with the night.
This is the last pinnacle left to face,
An indefinite statement of time.
I have been one acquainted with the night.
Dark ends darkness. Man ends mankind.
No, there is no dawn.
