To The Surface (Demo)

Nothing is alright!
I'm falling faithless down an evergrowing emptiness. 
You couldn't prove the point or be bothered to cry, I guess. 
So just forgive me, this stupidity has me upset
with the relentless agony of my regrets!

Purposeless, my worthlessness is stronger than I am. 
And I'm so dirty, I'm so thirsty. 
God, I beg you give me something!

The empty void and deadly voices gently torment me. 
An empty shout to let me out falls onto nothing!

Look around, you'll see in all actuality- the reality that we've been sold so many lies.
Make no mistake, I'm wide awake and I'm fearful for my soul- the ghost behind these eyes!

It shocks me awake!
I tremble and shake and I scream as I begin to burn alive within!
The fire refining, I'm clawing and climbing up to the surface! 
I know we're not worthless!!

No windows and no doors. 
And you show no remorse
the way you stole my dignity by way of brutal force. 

I'm priceless to your heart.
Thats what you said, at least. 
And then you kicked the ever living shit right out of me!

This heart full of violence has suffered in silence to burn like an ember and always remember
the fallen behind me, and the ties that bind me to a greater purpose, cause I don't deserve this!

Clawing and climbing my way to the surface! 
I'm not fucking perfect!
But damn it- I'm not worthless!!

lyrics 

intro

in temples grand, I seek divine embrace

Verse 1

yet in the chaos, our faith we chase
proclaiming love, but breeding hate
contradictions we cannot negate

Verse 2

healing hands that mend the broken heart,
while judgment lurks in shadows, tearing us apart
forgiveness preached, but grudges held

Bridge

contradictions in beliefs we've upheld x2

Chorus

Holy wars fought in the name of peace
the search for truth, a maze with no release, 
in sacred texts, both love and wrath,
contradictory paths we tread, our faith's aftermath 

verse 3

with open hearts, we strive to find, 
Uunity and love, not to be confined
yet divisions arise, lines drawn in the sand,
Contradictions within, we can not withstand, 

Chorus

Holy wars fought in the name of peace
the search for truth, a maze with no release, 
in sacred texts, both love and wrath,

contradictory paths we tread, our faith's aftermath x2

Contradictory Paths (demo) (lyrics in description)

The devil grins a wicked leer
counting the souls as the price grows near. 
fortunes amassed, but at what cost
in the pursuit of greed, humanity's lost
the devil grins a wicked leer

chains of riches, they bind the soul
as hearts turn cold, and morals erode
a symphony of chaos, a dance of lies
in this unholy waltz, the devils prize

the devil grins a wicked leer

silver and gold, they blind the eyes
as deals are struck beneath crimson skies
a Faustian trade, a desperate plea 
x2

for wealth and power, the cost decree

The devil grins a wicked leer
counting the souls as the price grows near. 
fortunes amassed, but at what cost
in the pursuit of greed, humanity's lost
the devil grins a wicked leer
x2

Silver and Gold (Final Mix) (lyrics in description)

Lyrics:

In War, The Devil takes his toll
As nations clash, his influence takes control
Hearts turn cold as the cannons roar
Wars a devilish dance, forevermore 

In the ruins of cities we find despair
A testament to the burdens we all bare
The cost of conflict, the toll it takes
A world torn asunder by the choices we make

Yet hope remains like a flickering flame
in the hearts of those who bear the name

Who strive to mend what war did grave

In war, the Devil takes his toll
As nations clash, his influence takes control
Hearts turn cold as the cannons roar
Wars a devilish dance, forevermore 

Your finally done with death in your eyes
The final victor, now come claim your prize
The last man standing, but what will you do
To save yourself from all the hell that's inside of you
Blegh....Fuck

Who strive to mend what war did grave

In war, the Devil takes his toll
As nations clash, his influence takes control
Hearts turn cold as the cannons roar
Wars a devilish dance, Forevermore

Wars A Devilish Dance (Demo) (lyrics in description)

In the shadows deep, we used to roam
a friendship strong, a sacred home. 
but whispers came, and trust grew frail, 
deceptions web, a twisted trail. 
We danced in the firelight, our hearts entwined,
but now the flames have turned to lies unkind

What were you thinking when you said you Loved me?
Why'd you have to go and treat me like I was something? 
Cause now I'm cold and alone and empty
like the crater in my heart where you used to be.

I'm so stupid- I should have knew it when 
you drew me on the other side of your line in the sand-
You never Loved me and you never gave a damn 
and you cut me in a way that only you can.

How the hearts unfold 
while our unspoken souls
turn our hearts so cold
Lost in the hate we hold
there's no way to mold
any kind of gold 
from all the lies we've told.
Both of us want control!

In the shadows deep, we used to roam
a friendship strong, a sacred home. 
but whispers came, and trust grew frail, 
deceptions web, a twisted trail. 
We danced in the firelight, our hearts entwined,
but now the flames have turned to lies unkind

Look in my eyes, I'm not surprised-
this is where the Love we had dies.
Love like a gun,
shot for the fun
begs the question "What have we done?"
Gone are the memories of warmth from yesterday.
Bridges burn like straws of hay
now that we've become enemies.

there's no way to mold
any kind of gold 
from all the lies we've told.
Both of us want control!

In the shadows deep, we used to roam
a friendship strong, a sacred home. 
but whispers came, and trust grew frail, 
deceptions web, a twisted trail. 
We danced in the firelight, our hearts entwined,
but now the flames have turned to lies unkind

Betrayal (demo) lyrics in description

Lyrics:

every days a copy, every night a clone
I'm screaming at the heavens, cant do this on my own
monotony's a prison, and I'm locked in a frame
I'm drowning in the sameness, its driving me insane
WHY IS EVERY DAY THE SAME

routines and faces they all blend and blur
a world devoid of color, a never-ending slur
I'm longing for the fire, the spark, the untamed
but every days a prison, my spirits growing maimed

ill rewrite my story my destiny ill arrange
with every step I'm taking, the world will re-arrange

every days a copy, every night a clone
I'm screaming at the heavens, cant do this on my own
monotony's a prison, and I'm locked in a frame
I'm drowning in the sameness, its driving me insane
WHY IS EVERY DAY THE SAME

ill be the agent of transformation, the force of the new
ill paint my own canvas, ill find a different view
my anger fuels the revolution, the fire in my veins
ill break free from this curse, ill shatter the chains

Monotony (demo) lyrics in description

what have they become god help them
harmless children turned to monsters
sharpening their fangs like weapons
circling their pray like vultures 
ensnared as their lust in darkness 
turned into blood thirsty things
how did you become so heartless
spreading pain like a disease 

WAKE UP, WAKE UP
remember who you are
come back to the truth written on your heart
cause life hurts like hell i wont lie to you my friend 
eternity is waiting, but until then

May the light warm your cold soul until your okay
May the pain wash away the false identity 
May we wake up tomorrow to a better way
May the truth guide our hearts into warm serenity 

i know your in there somewhere deep inside 
I know your terrified of the pain that you hide 
You cant control as hard as you have tried 
You got your backs against the wall and both your hands are tied

What have they become god help them
hopeless souls turned into monsters
in this world they are unwelcome 
Led astray by scared imposters 
Could it be a soul you see if i remind you of yourself 
forgiveness and mercy are the keys to YOUR PRISON CELL

May the light warm your cold soul until your okay
May the pain wash away the false identity 
May we wake up tomorrow to a better way
May the truth guide our hearts into warm serenity 
May the heartache remind us were sacred inside 
May your mercy for yourself take you higher and higher
If love cant remain while were tested and tried
Are we burning in hell or are we BAPTISED IN THE FIRE

Heavens not a fantasy it hides within the shadows cast
By the things that you cant see cause nothing here was made to last 
All will fall and fail to remain on an earth returned to dust 
leave behind the heartache and pain of a world that dies in rust

May the light warm your cold soul until your okay
May the pain wash away the false identity 
May we wake up tomorrow to a better way
May the truth guide our hearts into warm serenity

The only reason that sin is so wicked is that you and your heart and your soul are so sacred x4

Serenity (Demo) lyrics in description

Lyrics:

(Where have you gone?)
(Have you forsaken us?)
(Why) 

Why God, where have you gone? In this darkness we're left all alone.
We cry out to you, but hear no reply. Have you forsaken us? Tell us
Why God, where have you gone? In this darkness we're left all alone.
We cry out to you, but hear no reply. Have you forsaken us? Tell us why...

Paranoia grips me, like the vines around my soul in the grip of delusion. I lose control. Faces morph and shift, familiar yet unknown x2

Haunted by specters, I am never alone

Why God, where have you gone? In this darkness we're left all alone.
We cry out to you, but hear no reply. Have you forsaken us? Tell us
Why God, where have you gone? In this darkness we're left all alone.
We cry out to you, but hear no reply. Have you forsaken us? Tell us why...

Medications numb the edges, but never erase, the constant battle, the never ending chase to find a moment of clarity, a piece of sanity and end to this nightmare. 

An end to this nightmare

Yet amidst the turmoil, a flicker of light
A moment of clarity, in an endless night
I cling to hope, though it may seem frail, 
in the midst of chaos I prevail

Yet amidst the turmoil, a flicker of light
A moment of clarity, in an endless night
I cling to hope, though it may seem frail, 

AND THEN I FUCKING WAKE UP!

Why God, where have you gone? In this darkness we're left all alone.
We cry out to you, but hear no reply. Have you forsaken us? Tell us
Why God, where have you gone? In this darkness we're left all alone.
We cry out to you, but hear no reply. Have you forsaken us?

Yet in the chaos
Our faith we chase
Proclaiming love
But breeding hate (hate)
Contradictions we cannot negate

Healing hands that mend the broken heart
While judgment lurks in the shadows
Tearing us apart
Tearing us apart

Holy wars fought in the name of peace
In sacred texts, both love and hate
Contradictory paths we tread

With open hearts
We strive to find
Unity and love
Not to be confined

Lines drawn in the sand

Holy wars fought in the name of peace
In sacred texts, both love and hate
