Heart of a Coward
Album • 2019
The noose tightens as your world crumbles Your vile hatred destroys within Spineless words are all that compel you Soaked in your sorrow and sin Oh, you will suffer like the others Kick the stool with the stories you spin Misinformation running rampant We can no longer fucking pretend You will fall to your knees, accept this defeat There is no going back, you can no longer pretend Fall to your knees, accept this defeat There is no going back, you can no longer pretend Every single second you fight this It's clear that you are deceived Another absent-minded fool These will be your last words Oh, you will suffer like the others Kick the stool with the stories you spin Misinformation running rampant We can no longer fucking pretend You will fall to your knees, accept this defeat There is no going back, you can no longer pretend Fall to your knees, accept this defeat There is no going back, you can no longer pretend You will suffer (You will suffer) Like the others (Like the others) Suffer (You will suffer) Like the others (Like the others) You will suffer (You will suffer) Like the others (Like the others) You will suffer, suffer Drown in ruin Drown in ruin

Douse the pyre, rejoice in flame Everything has its time to burn A ritual of desire Now burn in the flame Did you think turn away? Did you think this is something to escape? There's nothing left, rejoice in the flame We are the pain that’s inside you It is the pain that you seek We are the constant reminder That there is no escape All-consuming fire Burning through every moment, we are bound to this ritual Just let (Just let) it burn (It burn) There's only so much you can take of this torture So torn and twisted up, fuel for the flame You'll never see what this has done to you unless you face up to the fire (The fire) As everything burns, rejoice in the flame All-consuming fire Burning through every moment, we are bound to this ritual All-consuming fire Burning through every moment, we are bound to this ritual We are bound to this ritual So light that torch for the flame that’s within us all Just let it burn There's no escape There's no escape There's no escape

Forever betrayed, we stand at the edge Ourselves are to blame, there's no turning back We buy into this madness Waste every resource and remain mindless We stand and watch the world decay Living a lie as we're wasting away There's no measure of control No concept of what we hold We've bled our future dry and there's no one else left to blame In this mindless paradigm We can only decline Our future's being sold by the hands of greed But what is the real cost? Watch as we all collapse I tell you that we've lost our way Under the dying sun Watch as we all collapse Watch as we all collapse Sedated masses swallow headlines over and over again So consumed in the mundane, there's no way for us to maintain This vicious cycle is spinning out of control We're left dead behind the eyes and there's no one else left to blame In this mindless paradigm We can only decline Our future's being sold by the hands of greed But what is the real cost? Watch as we all collapse I tell you that we've lost our way Under the dying sun Watch as we all collapse Under the dying sun Watch as we all collapse Staring at the end, a future obsolete We're only living to consume ourselves In this mindless paradigm We can only decline In this mindless paradigm We can only decline In this mindless paradigm We can only decline

I can see it in the whites of your eyes Not an ounce of hope or the will to survive I can see what lies beneath A corrupted soul begging on your knees Contempt, deceit Another generation, disbelief I can see it in the whites of your eyes We've lost all hope Never believe your fucking lies You'll never see the truth All consciousness has been removed You'll never see the truth In this culture of lies Do you believe in all that you see? Living life to deceive Just another snake-tongued hypocrite Culture of lies You shape the narrative Indoctrinate the weakest minds, oh You'll never see the truth All consciousness has been removed You'll never see the truth In this culture of lies Do you believe in all that you see? Living life to deceive Just another snake-tongued hypocrite Culture of lies Open your eyes To this culture of lies Dehumanising vultures Stripping away till we're left with nothing

See through the masquerade I can't believe what's in front of me Vivid deception becomes flesh and bone You're only mirroring your internal lies Is there no end to this waking eternity? Carve out my eyes If this is truth I see Then keep me blind Carve out my eyes If this is truth I see Then keep me blind There will always be a price to pay Suffering this reality There's a world at your fingertips A mind of your own but got nothing to say Remain buried within the neon glow of your apathy Watch as another is laid to waste As you're failing to see the warning signs Is there no end to this waking eternity? Is there no end to this? My tired eyes have seen enough Put me out of my misery A fate decided Carve out my eyes Caught in the wake of disparity Caught in the wake of this masquerade (A lucid illusion) Carve out my eyes If this is truth I see Then keep me blind Carve out my eyes If this is truth I see Then keep me blind

I see your blind hatred infect the world You kept it buried deep, but now you'll burn Pushing your own agenda Your words are nothing more than a curse Tighten the screws in this twisted game we all lose Manufacture another distraction to hide your actions Cower before your decimation There will be no more deprivation Rising hatred grows The face of degradation You'll fall, now reap what you sow There's no escape Did you really think you'd get away? Hidden behind your cloak and dagger Disregard the lives you shattered Now you're left to die here alone A consequence from the words that you spoke Cower before your decimation There will be no more deprivation Rising hatred grows The face of degradation You'll fall, now reap what you sow You prey on fear to try and divide us Your actions just feed the violence You prey on fear to try and divide us Your actions unite us There's no escape You'll pay the price Now reap what you sow Now reap what you sow

Watch as a light begins to fade away Return to dust Nothing is sacred as we circle the sun Return to dust Is there a purpose to all of what we know? Return to dust Drifting trough the infernal realm Return to dust Sinking to the depths ot the unknown Return to dust Is there a purpose to all of what we know? Return to dust (To dust)

As light begins to fade, we are swept away Exist alone, so take your final breath Infinite, we drown in this darkness Nothing is sacred as we circle the sun Is there a purpose to all we know Or are we here by coincidence alone? Is there a purpose to all we've lost? The silence suffocates We'll return to find there's no way Nothing will save our souls We will return to dust Ripping apart, time frays in the end There's nothing left to save our souls Imprisoned in death Is there a purpose to all we've lost? The silence suffocates We'll return to find there's no way Nothing will save our souls We will return to dust, oh The silence suffocates Nothing will save our souls We take our final breath Losing all sense of hope There's nothing left As we return to dust

Feed on what lies beneath Your virus spreads and it swells in me Burrowing under the skin and bone Devouring every part of the soul This ends here This ends here You fucking parasite A malevolent plague that's consumed us all There's nothing left to give Look at what you have done Look at what you have become (You fucking scum) This ends here This ends here You fucking parasite Bleeding out the life Feeding off our fucking misery Parasite Bleeding out the life Feeding off our fucking misery Parasite This ends here This ends here You fucking parasite This ends here (Bleeding out the life Feeding off our fucking misery) Parasite This ends here (Bleeding out the life Feeding off our fucking misery) Parasite

Carry the weight of the conflict inside A constant battle you can no longer fight Fractured thoughts twist and consume and devour what is left of you Corrupted, deceived Your mask hides what lies underneath Suffering through your self-deprecation As your darkness pulls you under Descending, you lose control Tormented, besieged A mind that is riddled with disease Crippling under vivid delusions With no hope of them letting you go Living in nothing but pain A life of isolation Detached from the heart and locked in your mind You're slowly fading away With your last bit of strength, reach for the light As your darkness pulls you under Descending, you lose control To the darkness you surrender Know that you're not in this alone A life lost in isolation A life lost in isolation As the darkness pulls you under Descending, you lose control To the darkness you surrender Know that you're not in this alone Know that you're not in this alone Know that you're not in this alone Know that you're not in this alone
