Moon Curser

The open flame and how it stings
The loss of life was great and you will only pay
The price is steep so I believe
These things come and go and come back on you in spades
My temper lost, I spit and cuss
Defile the lowest low and those they double cross
I never told you the whole story of how my anger grows
I want to watch the lights go out/my rage is like an open book
I want to curse the sun and the moon
The guilt and shame, unfiltered hate
We watch the lights go out and then we celebrate
The darkest place for those who wait
We smash the tombs, the graves, the grounds we desecrate
The foulest stench, no fences mend
We break the chains for those we must defend
I’m tired of being afraid
I want to stand and fight again
The voices never abate
They whisper nothing and fill the void
I’ll lock the door
There’s a side of me you haven’t seen before
I’d like to think I wont cave
In the face of something real like death
I just want to be brave
Defend the things that I believe
I’ve seen these awful visions
Going on in my head
What’s it take to stop the bleeding
When all I see is red
I’ve tried to picture something else
It’s all a mess
I hope its all just a bad dream
Counting backwards from hell

Blood Lovers
06:37

Things I’ve wanted to tell you
A fear so close to home
Every time the words leave my lips, feelings come and go
Everything is nothing and it’s driving me insane
Creeping out that window baby, I just cannot stay
Every time you look away my face seems calm but I’m barely breathing
Counting down to bury you at sea
You’re lying there, my eyes are closed but I am not sleeping
Biting down and trying not to scream
The past seems far away but I’m holding on for no good reason, festering and trying not to leave
Fear and paranoia and making those mistakes
Trying hard to free my love but for you it's not the same
Never wanted to fail you but it seems I’ve failed myself
Cannot teach this old dog new tricks, I’m just not that way
It’s not forever, no it's not for good, these lovers of blood, misunderstood

Corpse Revival

Come inside, take a seat
Here is something to fill your veins
I’ll trust you’ll be ok
But something wicked always stays
I’ll always wait for you
I’m sworn to keep you safe
Clean your wounds and watch the gate
See the waters storm and swell
Pick the scabs that never heal
I’ve lost my faith in you
I want to wish you well
This life is a living hell
It’s like a prison cell, the ways in which you kill yourself
Vermin, blood, boils and death
The bugs are crawling, creeping in
The task to raise the dead
Thankless of life unkept
I’ll hold my breath for you
Mind, body, soul and heart
The weights and measures they fall apart
You’ll find the things you need
Running water and walls that bleed
I’ll hold a place for you
You haunt these halls
Blood and spit on the walls
Parasitic life in its glorious form, this is home
Bathed in black, shadowless in shape
The poison on it’s tip subduing the pain and the rage
Like an open wound that’s about to explode
How awful the fall, how tempting God’s call
Rock bottom is real baby, and it’s here for you
The sins of us all, how hollow
The years you lost and the life you chose, this is all

Disgraced
05:41
|
|||
I don’t mind if you can’t find
The words to use or to describe
The ways you feel or what you keep on locked down inside
There is no limit to my judgement or what I do
and I’ll stay awake, commiserate on everything you’ve done
No finer fate than this disgrace
There’s been days when I can’t fake
My disease and what it takes
To lift this veil and show you now exactly who I am
I am vain, to be blamed for these indecent policies
For they overflow in episodes unable to unfold
I understood what you said
It’s in between where I cannot breathe
And if I say no will I fail you?
Have I done so much to hurt you?
I can’t see you in the pouring rain
I’ll follow you until you tell me to

Fucking Oath
06:12
|
|||
It started out as a splinter
But became something stronger
We won’t bare arms but teeth
And we’ll last that much longer
We can tell the years you’ve wasted
And those you’ve dishonored
This water runs thicker than blood
And it runs forever
The lies that we’ve faced, always
And the truth was never told
And here that we wait, patiently
Still we fight and never fold
We will hold faith for all days
Because we took the fucking oath
We made it out of the winter
Losing strength but never colder
We fought through tooth and nail
Seeing red but getting better
The lights will dim forever
Unless we do something sooner
The seeds of history have shown us all what we need to be
In time we’ll have the final say
These bonds of misery, the chains will crack but never break

Dear Demon
08:10
|

I want to be somebody else
Somebody other than myself again
I want to know where you came from man
I want to know where you’re going/ when you’re leaving
100 demons scratching at my door again
waiting to fill my veins with sin
I’m on an endless journey
Chasing what I can taste
You’ve got what I’ve been needing
Desperate and fake
Too much of a good thing baby
Slowing down as we speak
Before you will stop breathing
Take a break, stop and think
Have mercy on me demon because I cannot stay, I will not stay
The times they are changing and so are we
I’ve got 100 reasons
to live this lie every day
The pressure is too much sometimes
Theres got to be some release
How much is too much baby?
I take and take and I take
The life is too much maybe
Coming down as I speak
I’ll tell your fortune, tell you little lies
The things you’re doing, I can see it in your eyes
Come on baby, bang that little head
The things you’re doing you can’t do when you’re dead
Bow down, kiss my little ring
Tell me something I would never believe
Come on baby, bang that little head
Let’s keep going you can sleep when you’re dead
Love maker, law breaker, trouble maker, heart breaker
This time I’m walking out that door
And I’m not coming back for more

Old Hopeless
06:37
|
|||
Old hopeless, you’re on your own
This ghost town, I’m leaving now
My focus is not lost but gone
Your noose has come undone
Old Hopeless, your mind is sound
Hot crosses around your throat
Your ambitions are buried but bold
Old hopeless, you’re finally home
Old hopeless, you’re killin me
All hope is lost but free
Your weakness is by design
It’s useless and out of time
It follows me but at least I’m never lonely

Spiritual Abuse
05:02
|
|||
You can have the sunshine
You can take the rain
All that you have done, priest
You will have to share the blame
The exodus of you from us
The time it took and the loss of trust
We made our way through darker days
A pound of flesh and empty space
Sound of mind and sound of soul
The valleys peaked and lost control
When down is up and up is down
Where we are well this is hell
If you can find the window
To divine belief
You can climb right threw it
But you won’t land on your feet
The odds are greater when chasing time
To live within it rather than who was right

Grand Rites
08:48
|
|||
It happens just when you’re dyin’
That’s death at your door
And it’s just when you’re cryin out for more
That she stands and relinquishes fire
As masters of nature we’ve failed you
As destroyers of lands we’ve prevailed you
As bastards we feed
As shepherds we’ve blackened our names
She can tell just when you’re lyin’
The sweat beads off your brow
And its just in your final of hours
That the birds have come thirsting for you
We could tell by the look in her eyes
She is pale, she is cold but alive
As she crawls back to where she will die
Hey friend are you sure can want to hear this?
It’s so full of the things you despise
No, I want to know how she died
Well the rest of the story is blurry
The meat was starting to cool
And the thrill of the kill it was new
So we cut and we ripped in a hurry
The smell of her blood on our lips
We left what we’d done in those woods
As God stands by to bear witness
You can see in the pale moon light
This is our grand rite
As God fails to pass judgment
You can see as she puts up a fight
This is our grand rite
