Nothing But Bone
04:40

As the sky above opens a light peers through the clouds
Im thrown down, to the ground, I'm the only one around
This can't be real
With each flash of light I see my path laid before me
The air turns still, but in the black a silhouette is forming
Pierce the sky above
Left to the light of a fleeting god
I'm not bulletproof, come on
Lifted up from the earth, removed
To be a fool on the moon, that's right
Fit to be tied like poison I feel you
You’re running through my veins
In attempts for more I can see true
That this world is doomed
(We’ve been doomed from the start)
Will this be the end
123 let’s go
Are we so naive to believe that we are alone
With each flash, peel it back ‘till there’s nothing left but bone
With each flash, peel it back ‘till there’s nothing left but bone
Open your eyes, look to the skies
Bending all the light back
Drain my life submerge me in jet black
There’s no escape, not that they’ll allow
Just fucking break me
Bending all the light back
Drain my life submerge me in jet black
There’s no escape, not that they’ll allow
I thought I told you to break me
This is where they part my flesh from my bones
Nothing but bone
This is where the tides of men rise up above our heads
Foreshadow all we know
This is where our hearts explode
I know the truth that lies inside, this shall be my final goodbye
(Peel it back, expose the truth there's nothing left to do)
It’s all in my head x4

Deadman (feat. Rainless)
04:14
|

Woah, yeah
I ain’t comin’ ‘round here to play big boy
They want me dead
Deadman
Deadman walking
I’ll place you in the dirt, with every sin you’ve made
I hope you're happy with this bed that's now become your grave
Seek vindication there will be no redemption
It’s time to face the dark
I saw you take a knife and press it to her throat
Easy mark
Well I’m not afraid for her I’ll make you taste your blade
I’m on the run
There’s a price placed on my head
By those who want me dead
I’m forced out on the run
For secrets on my tongue
Wide open skies, burn out my eyes
It would take a hundred men or more to keep me from talking
Deadman
Deadman walking
I have no fear
Take it to my grave but live to see another day
I have no fear
Devil on back, snake oil on my tainted name
I have no fear
Could explain myself but I would rather live in shame
I have no fear
Could explain myself but I would rather live in pain
I have no fear x4

The Way of Man
04:07
|

Since the dawn of sin, man has tried and tried again
To obtain the one thing, we just cannot
Peace is out of reach now, as it always has been
Tortured endeavours, underneath the boot
Underneath the boot
The innocence are the pawns
While the vandals are the ones who control
And we have yet to learn our lesson
Shadow games played behind closed doors
You shall take his life and we shall take yours
That's just the way of man, destroy all you can
That's just the way of man, destroy all you can
That’s just the way of man
Simply fall in line, victim to the mindset
Of no remorse
Men are throned for death here, as the always have been
Tortured endeavors, underneath the boot
I rise and break through the weight
Cog in the wheel
He was the epitome of someone who lived life to the fullest
And sadly has had that all stripped away from him
Only to fall into the cycle of conflict and combat
Fight. Break. Repeat. X2
And we have yet to learn our lesson
That's just the way of man, destroy all you can
That's just the way of man, destroy all you can
That’s just the way of man
Rise up from the ashes, to do it all again
But I’ll tell you one thing, that is not who I am
Break the walls of thought down and let your demons in
Underneath the boot
Bathed in blood, out of boredom we exchange shells
There can't be a future while we live this hell x2

Lowly Dog
04:22
|

Oh yeah
Chained to what we measure
From below I see my reflection
Lowly dog
Everyday I’m left to my vices
Led to my death by the hand that guides
Lowly dog
Break from your chains
I am not here to play games with you
I am led by despair, I am broken
To live is to suffer to survive is to find some
Meaning in the pain but that's all there's ever really been
Break your chains mutt
Face covered in mud
I can taste blood
The price of your oppression
My willingness to pay it
Micromanaged and picked apart
Break your chains mutt
Face covered in mud
I can taste blood
Down at the bottom of this endless pit
Resentful, full of hate, I need someone to end this
And I know that if I tried hard enough
I’d floor this whole fucking place and show them what I'm made of
I’m on the loose
You can tie me down by my neck
And keep force feeding me yourbullshit
But one day I swear I'll bite back
when that day comes you’ll be the lowly dog
You’ll be the lowly dog
You have confused me far too long
As a man born without a backbone
I swear in due time
You’ll regret your words as I'm chewing on your spine
There is a voice inside of me
And it tells me to keep on pushing
But the voice inside of you
Makes you waste away everyday
There is a voice inside of me
And it tells me to keep on pushing
But the voice inside of you
Makes you waste away while feeding off your prey
You won’t last long
I am not here to play games with you
I’ve said this once before and I’ll not say it again
I’m on the loose
Break your chains mutt
Face covered in mud
I can taste blood
Break from your chains

If I let the darkness in, allow it full control
Does it mean that it’s the end or is there something more
This road I walk is cold but one that's intimate
I have been here times before but only in my head
If this is where it ends, give me what I deserve
I don't want to beat around the bush, I know that I have sinned
So let the demons in, escort me to my death
If this is where it ends, give me what I deserve
Oh, Lost souls
Oh, Lost souls
Abysmal
Phantom creatures that rule the night
Slipping through the grasp of space and time
Searching for a place to call their home
Reaching for the light in the tunnel
Phantom creatures that rule the night
Slipping through the grasp of space and time
Searching for a place to call their home
Reaching for the light in the tunnel
As the blood begins to drain, my vision starts to blur
All these memories start to fade as I try to remember
Every good thing that I've done shadowed by a heavy doubt
Reinforcing my actions, I’m just trying to get out
Oh, Lost souls
Oh, Lost souls
Abysmal
Isolated
From the truth that lies beyond the shadows
Led to lands outside man's reach
Between the walls so high they corridor the world's fate
Isolated, I'm condemned
Phantom creatures that rule the night
Slipping through the grasp of space and time
Searching for a place to call their home
Reaching for the light in the tunnel
I would rather rule the night
Than exist in forever tomorrow
I would rather rule the night
Than exist in forever tomorrow
I would rather rule the night
Than exist in forever tomorrow
I would rather rule the night
Than exist in forever tomorrow

Gravedigger

I lived in comfort, amongst the dead
I've never seen such light assure my dread
And so I -
Dig! Dig it deeper!
I can’t just let her go.
Scream! Scream it louder!
I just have to know.
6 feet below!
Life seems so far away,
Rescued by the grave.
Broken, beaten, afraid.
Will it ever end?
Only death will set you free.
Death will set you free!
Dig! Dig it deeper!
I can’t just let her go.
Scream! Scream it louder!
I just have to know.
6 feet below!
The temptation too much,
A lust for the lifeless.
Longing for her warm touch again.
Will it ever end?
Only life will bind you here.
Life will bind you here!
Dig! Dig it deeper!
I can’t just let her go.
6 feet below!
Critical of the living
But content with the dead.
Gravedigger, secluded nihilist
Consumed by darkest dread.
Death was the catalyst
For the rot inside his head
His bride, violently ripped away,
Alone in her deathbed.
Dig! Dig it deeper!
Can’t just let her go.
Scream! Scream it louder!
I just have to know!
And so I -
Dig! Dig it deeper!
I can’t just let her go.
6 feet below!
