Альбом Tenet

Never going to find, always searching
Looking for me
Who we are, screaming here
Searching endlessly

Being... nothingness
All this time we thought we were the best
Being... nothingness
All these fucking years, nothing yet

Sorrow plays the strings, and they preen
in black
I won't take it back

Being... nothingness
One way to define this fucking mess
Being... nothingness
Our curse is nothing more than our mass

All I've said... it's been said before
How could I know... being alone

Ever going to yearn, always searching
Looking for me
Who we are, why we're here
Searching endlessly

Being... nothingness
All this time we thought we were the best
Being... nothingness
All these fucking years... nothing yet

I am nothingness
I am nothing

We are nothingness
We are human

Wonders, I have seen through these eyes
But all the sounds I heard were lies
Failing, file my hopes under dreams
Set it all die

Indulge me my senses, indulge me my vices
Forgive my rant and... indulge me

Right now, it's too hard to let go
So many songs to sing
Tomorrow, the wind could blow it all away
Am I just wasting time

I say I must hate, it's my faith, my sanity
I love my hate, and it loves me...

If you ever made a mistake
Tell me, would you tell me

So indulge me, while I speak my mind
It never rains, you know, it fucking pours
Hold fast your spirit... it never lies
Don't let it go, don't let me go

Indulge me my senses, indulge me my vices
Forgive my rant and... indulge me

Fate, bring, me, peace

No one ever knows, no one ever feels
The power that's been inbred
It really doesn't matter, it's the way I'm supposed to feel
The rush goes straight to my head

Talk is cheap, you follow like sheep
Even though there's nowhere to go
Dancing dead on empty heads
Transparent, yet in vogue

Famine in the eyes, bleeding your disguise
Even though I really don't care
Pick a symbol, sow the seeds, choose the lies, reap the cash
Now you've got flair

Blame it on the women and the children
What do you feel
The innocence to calm and oppress us... merciless

I'm your crown of thorns

All the words thrown to the wolves
And now what's left is empty and hollow

Thinking truly blessed, you really are obsessed
The worst of the fucking lot
666 is your fairytale, and satanic by default

Listen to you say heresy, so selfish in your pride
Drink the wine and choke on the bread
Dressed in dirty whites

On your way
Try as you might, you can't suppress it

I'm your crown of thorns... you're bleeding
Crown of thorns... you're pleading
Crown of thorns
On my way

You never knew me, you looked right through me
To your own ends, I was only a pawn
In your shadow grew a passionate anger
A child often knows more than he lets on

I've got a bullet... come and get it
These words are hollow point and aimed at your head
From this pen, cocked, ready, and loaded
I write your name, as 'put to death'

Lie dead... unnameable

I've waited so long, I've hated so strong
Blinding fury is the beast on my back
What kind of coward dares to threaten my mother
Telling her, you'll dance on her head

I understand now, the past is right now
The things you said are now coming back
You told my father that you'd break both his legs
Makes me feel like snapping your neck

Lie dead... your epitaph, reads blackened... and unnameable

As a young child, hidden in the darkness of your shadow...
I grew into the power, I grew into the knowledge...
That before you, there was me... that before you, I was free
Free to be the child, this child was meant to be
Now as an adult, I've learned the depth of your lies
The depth of your deception...
And so your name lies dead... forsaken... forgotten... forever

Lie dead... your epitaph, reads blackened... and unnameable
Liar

It's not the first time, but it's the last time
That I speak of you in any way
Time is tapping at the chip on my shoulder
And I don't need the misery

I've got a bullet... come and get it
These words are hollow point and aimed at your head
From my pen, cocked, ready, and loaded
Don't even think I ever gave a damn
I am my fathers son

Take a long line
... of yourself
Take a long line
... breathe it in

Egos fly, and egos soar
And all this time, you don't know what you're looking for
My ego tries, your ego soars
After all these years, tell me what you are looking for

Where are the promises you made
Who are the heroes that you've saved
I wrote the book, I have the power
And I embrace the rage

Take a long line
... of yourself
Take a long line
... breathe it in

Egos fly, and egos soar
At every turn, our faith was beaten to the floor
To the blood we shared, I am sworn
For that my thanks and I'll just wish it could have been more

Where are the promises you made
Who are the heroes that you've saved
I wrote the book, you have no power
And I embrace the rage

Take a long line
... of yourself
Take a long line
... breathe it in

Do you know what it's like to be me
Yeah, you do, but can you relate
All these pussies, singing about nothing
Fuck them, let's sing a song of hate

Of wanton hate... a song in pain

One more time, on the never go round
Then I thought, yeah... I thought I'd be free
All these years as a slave to your grind
For once... I do this for me... from me

I saw it coming for a long time running
Saw it coming around
I knew this shit was going to crash and burn
Knew we were going down

One man... looks hard at himself... he searches deep
For a heart of gold
And a wise man... looks hard at himself... he searches deep
For that heart of gold

That wise man... takes stock in himself... on his sleeve
His heart of gold
A proud man... takes a look at his friends... on their sleeves
The same heart of gold, right?

Pride... it's all we have, it's all we've got
You can't touch that

I saw it coming for a long time running
I saw it coming around
I knew the plan was going to crash and burn
Knew we were going down

A simple thing... we called it family
I'm sorry... was I wrong?
What started out as a hate song
Got turned around

You want it all, you'll have it all
The world will stop, then turn around you
You're feeling tall, some men may fall
And oh... the smell of shit surrounds you

Hey! Hey!
Hail! Hail!

Still the ice in my veins, I hate that name
The mold you made and tried to pour me through
To life fulfilled, I'm taking fill
Hey... you've always sucked, and you always will

You let me down
Failed
You let me down

I grew alone, my ever changing home
No time for planting seeds, my friends
That child you left behind, that child you left is blind
To your name and to your kind

Feel, feel, feel... Failed
Down, down, down... You let me down
How does it feel to fail
You let me down

You know, if I ever said anything nice about you
I take it back... I take it all back

You wanted it all, you've got it all
The world of shit, it has absorbed you
You dared it all, dared the axe to fall
And now the curtain call is on you

Hey! Hey!
Hail! Hail!

You failed

Ever furious
Never heart lost
And all I've got
Is my everything for you

Changing, drifting years, I've spent alone
From far away comes a peace I've never known

You are the flame
Watching you burn

Burn...
Watching you
Burn...

I lit the flame
In you I burn
You are the flame
For whom I burn

Changing, drifting years and now I'm known
My dream, now flesh, has eyes... my yearning soul

You are the flame
Watching you burn

Ever furious
Never heart lost
And all I've got
Is my everything for you

Burn...

You can't say you're sorry, you don't fucking believe it
Useless, I never cared, then it all changed me
Too late, it takes me down, I don't fucking believe it
Terror strikes
Never knowing, never wondered, ever wiser?
Where the fuck were we

Thousands flock to the shrines
Of gods long dead
Tell me, why do you do it
Why do you have to pretend

And wish it away... denial
Wish it away... denial

Rise up, those who speak in truth
And fight to be free
Lie down, blind souls
And forever sleep

And wish it away... denial
Wish it away... denial
Wish it away

For I must be strong... sovereign
I must stand tall... sovereign
I must be strong
My name is sovereign

Strength, but not as many... I stand as one
Seek your rise, make your peace
And don't fucking talk to me

New life, get used to it now
And to my enemies unseen
Shadow your smile
Unless it's to bare teeth

I must be strong... sovereign
I must stand tall... sovereign
We must be strong

My name is sovereign
