SHADOWS OF THE FORSAKEN

DOOM (outro)

[Verse]
Indifference to brutality
Tearing the heads off of bats with my teeth
The universe is vast and cruel
In every galaxy
There's an ancient evil

[Chorus]
I can see
Life will eat you
Alive
Life will eat you
Alive
[Verse 2]
Indifference to brutality
Tearing the heads off of bats with my teeth
The universe is vast and cruel
In every galaxy
There's an ancient evil

[Chorus]
I can see
Life will eat you
Alive
Life will eat you
Alive
I can see
Life will eat you
Alive
Life will eat you
Alive

Bat-Eating Death Metal

[Verse]
It hungers
It hungers for the soul
It lusts
It lusts for the flesh
It feeds
It feeds upon the body
The house
The house of the Lord

[Chorus]
Welcome to the Flesh Cathedral
Enter the living cathedral
Enter the Flesh Cathedral

[Verse]
Built from bones and skin
Body
Temple
Within
It bleeds and pulsates
Rhythms of life
Of hate

[Chorus]
Welcome to the Flesh Cathedral
Enter the living cathedral
Enter the Flesh Cathedral

[Bridge]
Organic architecture
Anatomical horror
Its structure is organic
Its bloodlines flow inside
The walls are living flesh
Pulsing
Organic and grotesque

[Chorus]
Welcome to the Flesh Cathedral
Enter the living cathedral
Enter the Flesh Cathedral

Flesh Cathedral

[Verse]
Falling like Icarus
I'm burning in the sun
Blinded by the fire
I'm coming undone
Dying like a martyr
Crucified in vain
From my grave
I will rise
My suffering will reign

[Chorus]
From the ashes
I rise
From the ashes
I rise
From the ashes
I rise
From the ashes
I rise

[Verse]
Phoenix from the fire
Vengeance from the sun
Gaze upon my power
Behold what I've become
A new life begins
And the old one ends
This is where I am reborn
This is where it all begins

[Chorus]
From the ashes
I rise
From the ashes
I rise
From the ashes
I rise
From the ashes
I rise
From the ashes
I rise
From the ashes
I rise
From the ashes
I rise
From the ashes
I rise

From the Ashes

Lyrics:

Remember this riff?
It was one of your favorites. 
Your bass is still in the van.
Case covered in venue stickers from every dive we played.
Can't bring myself to move it.
Tuesday morning, three states away, I got the call—thought it was about a gig.
Wasn't about a gig.

You were twenty-five.
Same age as when we said we'd make it or die trying.
Guess you kept your promise bud.

I should've seen it coming.
Should've read between the lines.

But you smiled through the static!
Said you had it handled, said you'd be fine!
(Twenty-five forever!)
Frozen in time while we're still counting miles!
If I could trade these sold-out shows.
For one more breakdown on the side of the road!
(Twenty-five forever!)
Mike, you were twenty-five.

Found your picks in my pocket.
The purple ones you special ordered, said they had "better grip."
You missed three practices.
I was pissed, wrote you off as lazy, didn't see you drowning right in front of me.
Your mom calls sometimes.
Asks how the band's doing, I lie, say it's great.
I don't tell her we can't find a bassist who gets it.
I don't tell her every stage feels completely empty.

man, I should've seen you fading.
Should've pulled you from the edge!

But you smiled through the static!
Said you had it handled, said you'd be fine!
(Twenty-five forever!)
Frozen in time while we're still counting miles!
If I could trade these sold-out shows.
For one more breakdown on the side of the road!
(Twenty-five forever!)
Mike, you were fucking twenty-five!

Remember Detroit?
Van died, we had no money, no show.
You said "Fuck it, let's play in the parking lot."
Twelve people watched.
You said that's when you knew we'd make it.

Well, we made it, Mike.
We fucking made it.

But.. where are YOU?


But you smiled through the static!
Said you had it handled, said you'd be fine!
(Twenty-five forever!)
Frozen in time while we're still counting miles!
If I could trade these sold-out shows.
For one more breakdown on the side of the road!
(Twenty-five forever!)
You're still twenty-five!
Forever twenty-five!

Graveyard shift
Cemetery labor
Tomb keeper
Death's janitor

[Pre-Chorus]
Burial ground
After dark

The cold embrace of the cemetery
As I work at night
The tomb keeper
Graveyard shift

Graveyard Shift

[Verse]
Do you feel the darkness?
Can you smell the fear?
When you see me comin'
You know your end is near
Death and destruction
I crave it all the time
Gory, bloody carnage
You know it's on my mind

[Chorus]
Killer in the mosh pit, y'all get out the way
Killers in the mosh pit, everybody say
Killer in the mosh pit, y'all get out the way
Killers in the mosh pit, everybody say

[Verse]
Do you feel the darkness?
Can you smell the fear?
When you see me comin'
You know your end is near
Death and destruction
I crave it all the time
Gory, bloody carnage
You know it's on my mind

[Chorus]
Killer in the mosh pit, y'all get out the way
Killers in the mosh pit, everybody say
Killer in the mosh pit, y'all get out the way
Killers in the mosh pit, everybody say

Do you feel the darkness?
Can you smell the fear?
When you see me comin'
You know your end is near
Death and destruction
I crave it all the time
Gory, bloody carnage
You know it's on my mind

[Chorus]
Killer in the mosh pit, y'all get out the way
Killers in the mosh pit, everybody say
Killer in the mosh pit, y'all get out the way
Killers in the mosh pit, everybody say
