Amongst The Dead

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

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

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 06:06
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!
