Panopticon

Iron bars
Cold grey
Animals run this place.
Dreams of you make me rattle
The chains shackled to my waist
Were all dead men walking
Living waste hoping to die
The only hope I have
Is a conjugal visit from you
In the panopticon
The abyss of sleepless souls
Banished to this barbed wire dome
This hellscape is my home
This void sucks the life out of me
But im still living can’t you see?
Hoping fates dagger
one day ends me
Rotting in this hell
banished for all my days
Rattle these shackles trying to feel again
Crying out your name
Im behind this glass desires in your eyes
Its Driving me insane
im behind this glass desires in your eyes
A rage I can’t contain
And the gun tower watches
As the dagger runs so deep inside me
And the gunman cocks the hammer
My lifeless body my blood and my tears
And on the gurney ill say your name
On the gurney Ill scream your name
As the gun tower watches
As the gun tower watches
As the gun tower watches
As the gun tower watches

Luxurious Misery
03:52

Old Saint Valentine
Has no pity for this soul
The gallows sing lullabies
For players of the hangman role
A dungeon dweller daydreams
Crimson on their last night
The arrow’s plunge into my frame
human emotion is the coldest game
Eyes for a devil
Puritan truth
Only you could love the doomed
Eyes for a devil
Puritan truth
Only you could love the doomed
Luxurious misery
Her sorceress visions will be the end of me
Graveyard birds only sing for you
I thought this casket was made for two
Flawed creatures kiss black
Before they attack
Shame reads my crown of thorns
hope turns its back
Pitch black is purgatory
Enamored in flames
Creatures drag a torch for you
Forever I'm maimed
Luxurious misery
Her sorceress visions will be the end of me
Graveyard birds only sing for you
I thought this casket was made for two
This monster only wants to say your name
This monster would sacrifice its whole domain
For a glimpse of a beating heart
Medusa‘s beauty tears the beast Apart
Eyes for a devil
Puritan truth
Only you could love the doomed
Eyes for a devil
Puritan truth
Only you could love the doomed
Luxurious misery
Her socceress visions are the end of me
Graveyard birds only sing for you
I thought this casket was made for two

Ghostworld

Trapped in the ghost world
What a terrible place to be
Trapped in the ghost world
What a terrible place for me
No sympathy
No joy
No pleasure
Just nothing but pain
And I cry and I cry
All day long
Trying to remember your face
I know it's better without me
Sometimes I wonder if you wish I was there
In a land without beauty
Every day is so dark
What I wouldn't do for emotion
How I could kill to feel
Drowning in white
it's so miserable and bleak
I've sobbed for an eternity
The tears are normal to my cheek
I want to have experience
I want to feel romance
Here in my corner here I sit and cry
Trying to imagine what I could have been
I feel nothing but cold in my soul
Nothing to see here
I'm just whispers of all the things wrong
My existence is nothing
I'm sure it's better without me

White Crucifixion
03:37
|
|||
|
Theres a dead man in the mirror
He whispers inside my ear
sweet nothings and tears
the light dispels the fear
illumination as our bodies thrash
the ghost will hold our hands
Embarking into the plains
Im departing to a better place
I feel numbness inside the warmth
Letting go feels so good
There no fear in your eyes
This is gods will
The dead man will take us
The dead man knows the way
The white crucifixion
The white crucifixion is here
Finally I can let go
Finally I can be free
Purified and clean
How lovely it will be
The gods dance in my body
The light has come for you and me
My prayers are finally answered
I am so sick with joy
My struggle and pain
Are my menial past
you deserve the same
Clench me tight
It won't let us go
The light wont leave us
The dead man knows
With the gods we coalesce
Our resurrection will be our bliss

The Grave
02:56
|
|||
|
Rapid speed in succession
All I know is destruction
I can hear the grave calling my name
i always knew that i wanted to die
I always knew I was sick
Unwanted and despised
So I guess I’m the villain?
When I’m gone will you act surprised?
I can hear the grave calling my name
I can hear the grave calling my name
I can hear the grave calling my name
I can hear the grave calling my name
Skeleton hands grasp at me
Violently dragged six feet down
I can see my own demise
Cold wet earth buried alive
Been digging this grave my whole life
Cold wet earth buried in ice
A free fall into oblivion
Ripped apart nothing inside

Sick Sad World
04:48
|
|||
|
Desperate human beings
And other creatures of night
They’ll kill
At will
Life is cheap for nice things
Ivory towers
cast a shadow
into the gutters of dead dreams
futures lost
to the violence
hope only drowns in the screams
we're all blued to steel
in this sick sad world
humans have no pity for the weak
in this sick sad world
in this sick sad world
the ice cold hand of fate
clutches us by the throat
on our knees subservient and doomed
the omens told of us of this day
society falls death and demise
looks into our eyes
in the rising flames of a dying empire
no one escapes the pain
its a sick sad world
were all blued to steel
in this sick sad world
