Haste the Day
Album • 2008
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 wretched 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 I carried the weight of this burden I watch as they all go away It's not just a dream it's a nightmare We came this far to tell the good to Shine light so I can see your eyes Shed your light on me We will 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 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 We are but captives We are deceased We know that one day we will be free 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 We'll kill the parasite that lingers in our skin The loss of appetite But you got what you wanted 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) 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 We are but captives We are deceased We know that one day we will be free 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) See that's haunting me

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 Resolve Touch your hands to water Place them on the fire Have faith The flame will lose it's 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 When you heard the voices of the lost? Just hang out to our last words and Resolve Resolve Our lives will hang on the words You have spoken And we will wait for our God to return Lift your hands to the Heaven Let your heart be encased in flames Touch your hands to water Place them on the fire Have faith The flame will lose it's 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 Heaven Let your heart be encased

So cold, your icy fingers Around my neck You offer this rotten apple Begging me to taste and see I 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 We know what's inside (Go to bed) We know what's inside (Young dreamer) We know what's inside (A prophet you'll arise) We know (To call us out) We know what's inside (Go to bed) We know what's inside (Young dreamer) We know what's inside (You tell of our decline) We know (But you follow us down) The breath of the fallen angel Brings death if you breathe it in Although you know what dwells inside To bite down, to chew, and to swallow To muscle it down to dissolve Bed ridden shivering fever Follow it down To bite down, to chew, and to swallow To muscle it down to dissolve Bed ridden shivering fever Follow it down You icy fingers around my neck Offering destruction And begging me to taste and see So I take just one bite It's the poison in your veins It's the shiver down your spine Cut deeper to the core 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 To bite down, to chew, and to swallow To muscle it down to dissolve Bed ridden shivering fever To follow it down And we know you'll bite down And you'll follow us all the way down And we know you'll bite down And you'll follow us all the way down We know what's inside (Go to bed) We know what's inside (Young dreamer) We know what's inside (A prophet you'll arise) We know (To call us out) We know what's inside (Go to bed) We know what's inside (Young dreamer) We know what's inside (You tell of our decline) We know (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 won't 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

Cold in panic Keep me away from this In this damp air There is ignorance in bliss Have you ever seen when the stars go out And it blackens the scenery No way around it I'm sorry I may not amount to much In secret I'm dirty and I've chosen to give up There's something about your motives They never answer the questions The ending of all disasters will invoke reform No way around it I'm sorry I may not amount to much In secret I'm dirty and I've chosen to give up Invoke the progress of a simple mind in a factory Invoke the progress when the stars go out and it blackens the scenery No way around it I'm sorry I may not amount to much In secret I'm dirty and I've chosen to give up No way around it (No way around it) No way around it No way around it I'm sorry I may not amount to much Cold in panic Keep me away from this In this damp air There is ignorance in 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 a 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 the one... Distraction Weakening, your ability to grow So you push yourself further away Eyes of zero's, of nothing So you throw it all away When you 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 keep my feet on the ground Still You offer to turn it around Sever the head of the snake! Lie there and wait for the distraction Sever the head of the snake! Lie there and wait for the pain to sink in! Sever the head of the snake! Lie there and wait for the distraction Sever the head of the snake! Lie there and wait for the pain to sink in! I'm so tired of always letting You.... down I just can't seem to get.... my feet on the ground..... Still You offer to turn it around! 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 the snake! Sever the head of the snake! Sever the head of the snake! Sever the head of the snake!

We are unfortunately ever so self-destructive We live inside this labyrinth Waiting to go home Labyrinth oh labyrinth Your worst is what we'd might expect from you And in your twisted 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 won't be leaving soon All your friends are dead and gone And you've got nothing to lose."

You tried to spit at the sun, put it out like a burning ember She has a porcelain soul As you crawl under the moon Make this bed and sleep forever She has a porcelain soul 'cause the life you live is less than alive As they scream, "Let them burn," you know she'll burn at the hands of your kin 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 When the serpents tongue is wrapped around her neck "Let them burn Let them burn," And He knows that she died inside And He knows Open hands hold porcelain souls into the eyes of a traitor I still see a believer The witness is here She's a witch and I love her Buy back her soul with the blood of the Savior Is it too much to forgive? The witness is here Open hands hold porcelain souls She falls to her knees and she begs for forgiveness as the Heavens open their gates The wood burns and the fire blazes, but He bought back her soul with the blood of the Savior

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, takes me away Before, before the sun Sun shine upon me Oh now, now the wind takes me away And every flower stares and watches As the wind As the wind, takes me away Before, before the sun The sun shine upon me Oh now, now the wind takes me away (I think you nailed it, that was awesome) Sweet
