I am the one you will call the destroyer
The messenger of my disgrace (I am my own disease)
You sit on your throne of compassion
The judges will fall as we all go marching so helplessly on
We came this far to tell the good to
Shine light so I can see your eyes
Shed your light on me
What? Is this your only obsession?
Destroy everything you create?
(I am my own disease)
You The God of the broken and wreched
The judges will fall
I am my own disease
I carried the weight of this burden I watch as they all go away
It's not just a dream it's a nightmare
(x2)
We came this far to tell the good to
Shine light so I can see your eyes
Shed your light on me (x2)
We wall fall to ruins if we don't bury disguises that we've made
We will see the finish if we would carry ourselves to the end of the race
The judges will fall
I am my own disease
I am my own disease

You said it yourself. To convalesce from empty sorrow, someone had to squeal. To drive to the bottom. You said I know. I know it's not your fault. Like wire around your bones you would never numb. I take it I'm a mad man, but I would never squeal. I never said it was no good.
The innocent will rest in the peace they've been given. Paintings will sleep on the floor. Build walls of lonely dreams as beauty fades. I can't take this anymore.
Lock yourself up like a bird in a cage. You sing but no one ever listens. How much were you paid to sell out the mad man? Like a scientist or a master of design. I knew exactly what I was doing. And I heard of your disease, and shots of penicillin barely kept you alive.
The innocent will rest in the peace they've been given. Paintings will sleep on the floor. Build walls of lonely dreams as beauty fades. I can't take this anymore.
I am the clone. I dwell in silence. (4x)
The innocent will rest in the peace they've been given. Paintings will sleep on the floor. Build walls of lonely dreams as beauty fades. I can't take this anymore

We are but captives. We are deceased. We know that one day we will be free. (2x)
I've seen it again and again. We just have to close the door and we can't ever let them in. You got what you wanted. You got what you wanted so just go. And now you can't make a single noise. So what do you have to lose? You got what you wanted. Subject to the judgement of a fool. You got what you wanted so just go. Am I meant to follow? What is it to lead? The tone of a steady voice or the sound of a piercing scream?
The dirt under my fingernails tells of the grave I'm digging. And I know there's something out there that I have to see that's haunting me. (see that's haunting me)
We'll kill the parasite that lingers in our skin. The loss of appetite.
But you got what you wanted. (2x)

They'll never know, they'll never know. I'm not exactly what they wanted. The man they thought I was began to die. We just have to close the door and we can't ever let them in. You got what you wanted, now you'll find somewhere to begin.
We are but captives. We are deceased. We know that one day we will be free. (2x)

Can you feel the tension?
Have you heard the voices of the lost?
Churning up the fire to reach the dark side of you.
When the walls decide to close in and the floor disappears beneath you, just hang on to our last words and... resolve.
Touch your hands to water.
Place them on the fire.
Have faith.
The flame will lose its strength.
Just touch your hands to water.
Hold your breath for one more second.
Soak the torch in kerosine and light the match and watch as it all closes in.
Can you feel the tension?
Can you hear the voices of the lost?
Just hang out to our last words and... resolve.
Our lives will hang on the words you have spokenand we will wait for our God to return.
Lift your hands to the Heavens. Let your heart be incased in flames.
Touch your hands to water.
Place them on the fire.
Have faith.
The flame will lose its strength.
Just touch your hands to water. Our lives will hang on the words you have spoken and we will wait for our God to return. Lift your hands to the Heavens.
Let your heart be incased in flames.

So cold,
your icy fingers around my neck
You offer these rotten apples
Begging me to taste and see
I'll take just one bite
I know you're coming like a bad dream
When the demons fall to place
Perverting all the answers
Corrupting what's inside you
Believing everything
Cut deeper to the core
But we know what's inside
Go to bed, young dreamer
A prophet you'll arise to call us out
Go to bed, young dreamer
You tell of our decline
But you follow us down
The breath of a fallen angel brings death if you breathe it in
Breathe it in
Breathe it in
Although you know what dwells inside
The breath of a fallen angel brings death if you breathe it in
To bite down, to chew, and to swallow
To muscle it down to dissolve
Bed ridden, shivering fever
Follow it down
(repeat)
Your icy fingers around my neck
Offering destruction
They're begging me to taste and see
So I take just one bite
It's the poison in your veins
And it's the shiver down your spine
Go deeper to the cut
But we know what's inside
To bite down, to chew, and to swallow
To muscle it down to dissolve
Bed ridden, shivering fever
Follow it down
(repeat)
And we know you'll bite down
And you'll follow us into the ground
And we know you'll bite down
And you'll follow us into the ground
We know what's inside
Go to bed, young dreamer
A prophet you'll arise to call us out
Go to bed, young dreamer
You tell of our decline
But you follow us down

Foresee the day of the Lord
The Heavens blacken above them
The day will bring no light
For I will shake the heavens
Raise the flag on the hilltop
For now we march to Babylon
Say a prayer for the fallen
It's time to choose which side you are on
Hear the noise on the mountain
From the furthest horizon
Pick up the pieces as they fall
Our sins wont carry our burdens
So will you leave them behind?
While I've been held behind these walls
Will I be left or forgotten?
They run like the hunted
For now we march to Babylon
In the darkest of days
The mighty failure has gone
Most glorious of all kingdoms
Will fall like a stone
From the Heavens
Pick up the pieces as they fall
Our sins won't carry our burdens
While I've been held behind these walls
Will I be left or forgotten?
Foresee the day of the Lord
The Heavens blacken above them
The day will bring no light
For I will shake the heavens

Shout
In panic
Keep me away from this
With the Shepard
This ignorance is bliss
Have you ever seen when the stars go out
And it blackens the scenery
No where you runnin'
I'm sorry I may not amount to much
In secret I'm turning in
I've chosen to give up
There's something about your motives
They never answer the questions
The aging of all disasters will invoke reform
No where you runnin'
I'm sorry I may not amount to much
In secret I'm turning in
I've chosen to give up
We broke the progress of a simple mind in a factory
We broke the progress when the stars go out and it blackens the scenery
No where you runnin'
I'm sorry I may not amount to much
In secret I'm turning in
I've chosen to give up
No way you're out there x2 (no way you're out there)
I'm sorry I may not amount to much
Shout
In panic
Keep me away from this
With the Shepard
This ignorance is bliss

This is a celebration
Of the ones who lost
Their chance to die
Will you believe the masses
Or will you overcome?
We are the sons of the fallen nation
We hold the keys to our demise
And grace will kiss your head
As you fall asleep
I'm so tired of always letting you down
Still you offer to turn it around
I just can't seem to get my feet on the ground
Still you offer to turn it around
This is your one destraction
Weakening your ability to grow
So you'll push yourself further away
Eyes of zeros, of nothing
Still you throw it all away
And you'll push yourself further and further away
I'm so sick of the desire
To throw it away
And I feel so expired
So I'll bury my head and dissolve
I'm so tired of always letting you down
Still you offer to turn it around
I just can't seem to get my feet on the ground
Still you offer to turn it around
Sever the head of a snake
Lie there and wait for distraction
Sever the head of a snake
Lie there and wait for the pain to sink in
I'm so tired of always letting you down
Still you offer to turn it around
I just can't seem to get my feet on the ground
Still you offer to turn it around
Sever the head of a snake

When I am fortunately ever so self-destructive
We live inside this labyrinth
Waiting to go home
Labyrinth oh labyrinth
Your most is what we'd not expect from you
And in your tired walls you sing out of tune
Come in
Labyrinth oh labyrinth
Your most is what we'd not expect from you
And in your tired walls you sing out of tune
Come in make your self at home
'Cause you wont be leaving soon
All your friends are dead and gone
And you've got nothing to lose
. . .

You tried to spit at the sun
Burn it out, like a burning ember
(The ember burns inside)
As you call under the moon
Make it heard
Let this be straight forever
(The ember burns inside)
'Cause the life you live is less than alive
As they scream
"Let them burn"
You know you'll burn at the hands of your king
As they scream
"Let them burn"
You know you won't
You won't forgive them
She crawls through the dirt like a four-legged spider
He's there, laying beside her
As the serpent's tongue is wrapped around her neck
Let them burn
Let them burn
And he knows that she died inside
And he knows
Open all the voiceless souls
Into the ears of a traitor
I still see a believer
The witness is here
It seems that which hang men over
But I can show them the portal to saviour
As empty words to forgive
The witness is here
Open all the voiceless souls
She falls to her knees, and she begs for forgiveness
As the Heavens open their gates
But one glance and a fire blazed
But it brought back your soul and a portal to saviour

Red leaves blow in the wind
Leaving home and everything it's known behind
Barren branches wave goodbye
As the red leaves slowly die
Every flower stares and watches
As the wind, it takes me away
Before the sun, the sun shone upon me
Oh now, now the wind, it takes me away
It takes me away, yeah, it takes me away
Red leaves falling through the branches
Making their way to the ground
Bowing by the flowers sleeping
No one knows the leaves are leaving
Every flower stares and watches
As the wind takes me away
Before the sun, the sun shone upon me
Oh now, now the wind takes me away
Every flower stares and watches
As the wind, as the wind takes me away, yeah
Before,before the sun, the sun shone upon me
Oh now, now the wind it takes me away!
And every flower stares and watches [x3]
(And every flower stares and watches!)
