Heart of a Coward
Album • 2015
Welcome home And dive into a world so blind Your life decided since the day you were born All along you felt the dark presence So hard to believe your conscience was torn And with each passing moment it's becoming even harder to breathe You remain on the path you have chosen as an oxygen thief Force it down Swallow your pride Embrace the sadness Force it down The architect of your own fucking madness The world is ash and dust (Burn, burn) We are so hollow And when tomorrow comes Our dreams will die with us (Burn, burn) We are so hollow Hollow With dead eyes You lie to friends and to family You wore the badge of your decline Too blind to see The way you spread your fucking sickness over everyone you meet We built foundations on friendship Now we are nothing but strangers Your degradation is just sickening to behold A product of your failures The world is ash and dust (Burn, Burn) We are so hollow And when tomorrow comes Our dreams will die with us (Burn, burn) We are so hollow A shallow life riddled with holes Whoring yourself as you bare your soul Head in your hands, questioning why Why no one cares when you lose control Fuck Hollow You remain on the path you have chosen As an oxygen thief Force it down (Burn, burn) We are so hollow (Burn, burn) Hollow

Now there's nothing left We've spread ourselves too thin Crawling at the walls The darkness closing in A cage within a cage We're left to rot in this cerebral maze Forever lost Deafened by the silence of our own restless minds Servants of damnation, no will to unify A perfect miscreation A perfect lie Blind to the grave Nothing can change that now Blind to the grave No one can save us now Sickness We breathe it in tonight to witness our decline Final transformation Pure hatred will arise Breathe in this pestilence under these blackened skies A perfect miscreation A perfect lie Blind to the grave Nothing can change that now Blind to the grave No one can save us now Denial of existence We fabricate the path to least resistance Repopulate Born to sow the seeds of hatred and procreate This, the mirror of our nature to devastate Crushed beneath the waves

Our time has come, we've come undone The ground that shakes beneath us, stained red with blood A grave of many secrets, charred by the sun We'll show no signs of weakness, we are amidst the wolves Brace your fucking selves Barely alive, nothing but another drone in a hive You stand alone upon the wreckage of a broken home We are reborn in the eye of the storm We gather up the strength to try But again and again we'll fucking fail And this is all that we know The malnutrition of a dying soul We are the chosen ones Now you will come undone Sacred hate, take the weight Bear it on your bones Sacred hate, fill the graves Fodder for the crows Our resistance led to where we are now We are amidst the wolves and we won't back down We're counting down these numbered days We'll try and try, yeah, again and again we'll fucking fail You will smile as you watch us suffer You will behold your downfall with horror We are thirsty for perversity We laugh in the face of adversity And this is all that we know The malnutrition of a dying soul Sacred hate, take the weight Bear it on your bones Sacred hate, fill the graves Fodder for the crows Our resistance led to where we are now We are amidst the wolves and we won't back down A grave of many secrets, charred by the sun A grave of many secrets, charred by the sun We are the chosen ones Now you will come undone A grave of many secrets, charred by the sun We'll show no signs of weakness, we are amidst the wolves But you must die before you can be born again Sacred hate, take the weight Bear it on your bones Sacred hate, fill the graves Fodder for the crows Our resistance led to where we are now We are amidst the wolves and we won't back down

We will give way to abandon The weak inherit the earth A hurricane of pollution We'll choke on every word We will give way to abandon The weak inherit the earth A hurricane of pollution We'll choke on every word With a smile, we are disarmed We're seduced by horror's charm The temptation of the strong Is the downfall of the human swarm We will give way to abandon The weak inherit the earth Well, if you're gonna destroy then destroy this Then we'll do it again, bleed you again, the mark of the iron fist If you're gonna destroy, gonna destroy, destroy this And we will seal it with a bloody kiss Iron fist Pledge allegiance to the voice in your head To the words that will end us all Raising the black flag of the dead The demise of the human swarm We will give way to abandon The weak inherit the earth A hurricane of pollution We'll choke on every word Well, if you're gonna destroy then destroy this Then we'll do it again, bleed you again, the mark of the iron fist If you're gonna destroy, gonna destroy, destroy this And we will seal it with a bloody kiss The iron fist The iron fist The iron fist Let's go Well, if you're gonna destroy then destroy this Then we'll do it again, bleed you again, the mark of the iron fist If you're gonna destroy, gonna destroy, destroy this And we will seal it with a bloody kiss The iron fist The iron fist The iron fist We will give way to abandon The weak inherit the earth A hurricane of pollution We'll choke on every word We will give way to abandon The weak inherit the earth A hurricane of pollution We'll choke on every word

This is not what you are, party's over, son Take a good look at your life, take a look at what you've become Masochistic, it seems you've missed a trick I've wasted too much precious time on this bullshit I can smell the filth that seeps from your skin You try to hide it but your mask is paper thin God, you must be thick, you make me fucking sick You only brought this on yourself, learn to live with it You stumble blind, wasting your time Living the anti-life The world is bearing down Slowly dying from the inside out You'll be searching for another to blame And when they find you, I will revel in your pain Shut your mouth, save your breath for someone who cares A walking contradiction, your words just make no sense No one gives a fuck, just know when to quit You only brought this on yourself, learn to live with it You stumble blind, wasting your time Living the anti-life The world is bearing down Slowly dying from the inside out You'll be searching for another to blame And when they find you, I will revel in your pain The world is bearing down Slowly dying from the inside out You'll be searching for another to blame And when they find you, I will revel in your pain Living the anti-life You stumble blind, wasting your time And I won't waste any more of mine You stumble blind, wasting your time Living your anti-life You stumble blind, wasting your time Living your anti-life

This planet is on a different frequency Our minds are tuned back into insanity, into insanity With every means of perversion, the human lifeline recedes An epidemic of blindness Seduction and spreading of seed The Devil pulls on the strings that make us dance This human plague is insignificant We'll fail like those before The rabid bite of these dogs of war The hopes of every man They are lost forever like a grain of sand No, we'll never understand How it slips through our hands like a grain of sand Resplendent retaliation, the spiral of life now unwinds The poisons that we all depend on, our love and our hatred entwined The Devil pulls on the strings that make us dance This human plague is insignificant We'll fail like those before The rabid bite of these dogs of war The hopes of every man They are lost forever like a grain of sand No, we'll never understand How it slips through our hands like a grain of sand Our minds are tuned back into insanity Into insanity The hopes of every man They are lost forever like a grain of sand No, we'll never understand How it slips through our hands like a grain of sand

Dark circles around the eyes Open wounds that you can no longer hide A matter of the heart that splits you in two It’s starting to unleash the demon in you Oh God, something is very wrong I feel it in my bones and now I just can’t seem to decipher Though I knew it all along you’d find out on your own The fear of being alone is what drives you on Open up the mouth of madness Open it up And is this what you want? Is this what you envisioned? I don’t know who you are anymore And is this what you want? To remain in your prison Where you won't see the light anymore A different day but you’re still in the same shit You’ll resist but you can no longer take it A matter of the heart that splits you in two Until there’s nothing fucking left of you Oh God, how can we start to win And where do we begin to figure out what we’re meant to fight for When all sides are just the same They play the same old games and when you can’t tell one from the other Now something’s wrong Now something’s wrong Open up the mouth of Madness Open it up And is this what you want? Is this what you envisioned? I don’t know who you are anymore And is this what you want? Is this what you envisioned? I don’t know who you are anymore And is this what you want? To remain in your prison Where you won't see the light anymore

You've finally realized what this has done to me A black horizon stretches as far as the eye can see I walked away from us, left you to bear these scars I can’t imagine what it must be like inside your heart And after severance will come deliverance Now your existence is no longer making sense I'm getting past the obstacle of your belligerence A picture of unrest But I won't ever let it show I’ll keep it close to my chest 'Cause this is pain that you'll never know If you could see what I can see (What I can see) It would make you cry A vision now has come to me (Has come to me) Of the day we die, the day that we die And I can see it in your eyes You've finally realized You've finally realized what you've done to yourself Deal with your pain by inflicting it on someone else You'll never have my love, I know you want my life Patiently waiting for the time to come and twist the knife And after severance will come deliverance Now your existence is no longer making sense I'm swimming in the endless filth of your maleficence A picture of unrest But I won’t ever let it show I’ll keep it close to my chest 'Cause this is pain that you’ll never know If you could see what I can see (What I can see) It would make you cry A vision now has come to me (Has come to me) Of the day we die, the day that we die This is the day that we die If you could see what I can see (What I can see) It would make you cry A vision now has come to me (Has come to me) Of the day we die

Morning repairs the woe from yesterday (And when we're) Scared to awaken to all that should remain (It's all we know) With one step forward There's always two to take back I know there's always something An itch I'll need to scratch Oh, when will life feed my desire? Rise up, walk in this fire The barely beating hearts now so polluted Our veins with poison swell The stench of suicide We forged in our own hell With one step forward There's always two to take back I know there's always something An itch I'll need to scratch Oh, when will life feed my desire? Rise up, walk in this fire When will life feed my desire? Rise up, walk in this fire Now we piss on skeletal remains Forsake our forefathers for our worldly gains Mistrusting Disgusting Walk in this fire Walk in this fire Walk in this fire Walk in this fire Walk in this fire

Here we make our stand With heads buried deep in the sand This cross is ours to bear But hope is always there When will life feed my desire? We arise, walk in this fire When will life feed my desire? We arise, walk in this fire When will life feed my desire? We arise, walk in this fire 'Cause we won't fall at the last step we take Our bodies won't break, we'll end this today Live like it's our last, it's within our grasp As the final breath enters our lungs When will life feed my desire? Rise up, walk in this fire
