Tremble from the cold air sweeping through the streets
Watch your step from the cracking leaves that break beneath your feet
Walk a little faster as day begins to fade,
the clouds are turning black with every moment you’re afraid
Take your darkest fears and confess what you desire
Embrace the wicked season of black and orange fire
Devils and witches will show their skin before they make you scream
A chance to release all our sins, on this Halloween
Time to invoke the ghouls and ghosts who know how to expose what we fear most
A wicked spell to conjure up the demons who compel us to drink blood from their cups
Walk into the woods and gaze beyond the trees
Take it off and dance for the devils who you now aim to please
The night is getting colder the air has stolen your breath
The raven on your shoulder whispers words of death
The autumn air surrounds you, begging you to stay
Thirty one days is never enough to celebrate this day

Break the Skin
03:47
|
|||
I see your strength, and all its lies
Contemplating the life you despise
And when you realize, all your hopes are gone
Then you can sympathize, with all that you’ve done wrong
Your scars are hollow, your burns, your cuts, your sins
Just scrapes of sorrow that barely break the skin
Days are dying, and you are filled with fear
Your soul is crying, and choking on its tears
Your time is coming, so close its almost here
You’re terrified, but dignified, to slowly disappear

Your Last Day
05:14
|
|||
On this day you could be passing your death
Just think, this could be your last breath
So close, but never knowing when or how,
it could be tomorrow or it could happen right now
Have your last words, have your final say
Embrace what you see, before it goes away
All of your prayers belong to the dead now
Its time to go, time to end your last day
To be alone where not even time is alive
So void of life not even darkness could survive
What you will see isn’t certain
Will you even be the same person?
What if I wanted to stay, no matter how long its been
If I can be taken away, I can come back to live again

Moments Into Memories
05:16
|
|||
The fire gone but ash remains
Smoldered anger red with pain
A lost soul devoid of hope
destroying any prayers which I invoke
The fear is ripe and fraught with death
black smoke takes away my breath
A terror spread both far and wide
shedding a light on where my sanity died
Not even time will heal this pain,
from a fire that can burn in the rain
The growing threat of mortality
always ends with your fatality
Trapped inside this lost desire,
it's almost hard to see
That the one who caused this fire,
that blame belongs to me
Blinded by veins in the sky,
beating down from those who have died
Clouds shaping all my haunted dreams
from the ashes of a terminal scream
Ive gone back to the fire within,
to attack and embrace my sins
A bold look into the bones of destiny,
a future sought to keep whatever is left of me
I disappeared for far too long,
so far away from ever feeling strong
The more that life takes a toll on me,
the further I get from who I used to be
Moments now turn to memory,
losing focus on my dignity
Ive given up every last breath,
until the point where I belong with death
A beating heart is my worst enemy,
its why my dying days are blinded by blasphemy
Deep in the forest with solitude,
where I find peace and nobody to intrude
Now when the fire swallows my soul,
I’ll be the one to take back control
Control the fire, create desire,
embrace the flame until you’re ready to expire

The Honest Liars
06:12
|
|||
Step down from the shadows
and take a moment to calm your superstition
A false crown needs no meaning
when its purpose is to blind everyone
Since the dawn of your memory
you were poisoned with lies from all around
I don’t just mean from up above,
these false idols come from the sky and the ground
Fuck your devil, and your god,
and your attempts to make me choke on their words
Im not impressed by your science,
you’re just as bad as the preachers before
I’ll never give you what you want from me,
my faith on display for everyone to see
I don’t have time to spare for your hate,
so despite all your lies, I choose to find my own way

Couldn’t Hold On
05:20
|
|||
I could never accept it, the fact that you were so far gone
It was so unexpected, to watch the light fade from your eyes
You were always the strong one, the one who never gave in to what we fear
I wish you could have just told us that you needed our help…
…but you couldn’t hold on, you just had to go away
You couldn’t hold on, you were never meant to stay
Now that silence has found you, we try to cope, but the sorrow it still remains
In the sadness that drowned you, I look for answers why, but all I find is pain
How does this even happen? A friend for life to say goodbye so suddenly
Despite this tragic disaster, we will never let go of your memory
After the dawn and before the stars
I speak to the sky or wherever you are
All of our time spent wasting away
I wish I could go back for just one more day
But the ink is dry, the pages set in stone
No matter how much we cry, we read the story alone
I know that you were hurting, and that you were in pain,
and you saw that you’d never go back to the days
where your life was astray from the path you laid
In the fever of sadness, you let go of your life,
but through all the tears and the senseless fears,
your life means more than your death in the hearts of us all

Far Away From Fading
05:10
|
|||
When you were young the world was so clear
No thoughts of doubt with nothing to fear
Forever in time with all of your friends
Never to think it would come to an end
And then they were lost, and you are still here
Dying away, and shedding a tear
The ones that you love never last very long
but just because they left doesn’t mean they are gone
Memory helps to relive the years
when all of your hopes swallowed all of your fears
but many forget that memory fades
and all you are left is with your dying days
So don’t give it up, just make sure you know
that wherever you were, isn’t where you will go
Your dreams belong forever in your sleep
don’t let the past dictate what you seek
Feel your days fading away
now fill in the blanks before its too late
Enjoy what you have while its still here
because death is the end and its drawing near
Look at yourself and who you wanted to be
Now embrace all your doubt and all the fear that you see
Wash it away with all that you can forgive
You’re not dying today so take your life and live

Internal Arson
04:00
|
|||
I fear desire and its warm embrace
Some might call me a liar, but I prefer a saint
And like the shadows, I stay away from the light
No matter where I go, Im haunted by the darkness in my life
I can’t go back, because I’ll never want to leave
The fire between the cracks will burn me to my knees
The sky goes black and the forest reveals my pain
All hope is turned to ash from the trees now wreathed in flame
How could I be guilty of giving in to lust?
Does instinct betray me now, with nowhere left to place my trust?
Satisfy my alibi, and say what needs to be said
Just enough to sell the lie, long before I almost end up dead
My words have drown me, choking on my lies
The laughter that disguised me has now turned into cries
Im wandering lost now, astray without a home
Never to be found, I truly am alone

Feel the flames through the trees
that disguise the words you believe
Look beyond the twisted vines
into the place you left behind
Now on the ground crawling through the moss
to feel the soil upon your skin
Thorns drawing blood show the line that you crossed
back in the days when you were shrouded in sin
Open your eyes and not your wrists
Let go of the lies and all the years you missed
The devil inside is the angel of fiction
who feeds on your cries
and gives life to your addictions
Peel back the flesh to reveal what we all know
Just bones and blood to give life to the dirt below
Before that time draws near, understand the distinction
between what you think you feel, and your terminal extinction
I cross the stream into the woods
a place where my contentment once stood
The light was gone, no words to say
Was this the time to give my life away

Rusted forest crawling over the earth
where rotted dreams come to die
The scabs of life infected all that was learned
twisting hope into lies
There is no death only darkness
Under the skin of the sun
will reveal that the fire is gone
The blood and the body
the mind and the soul
All of it lost in the eternal black hole
Before it ends, life must be burned
Just to make sure, it never returns
There will be pain, and there will be fire
to be rid of the beating heart and all its desire
Time is so cold when youth becomes old
As with all there is life bleeding out in reverse
A curse that started with death and ended at birth
Every breath from the sky gives balance to those below
Until the memory dies and has nowhere to go
Sacred scrolls lose all of their meaning
burning in the pyres of death
All those who worship life are left screaming
not even time can grant one last breath
