The Autumn Offering
Album • 2007
Don't turn away Don't say your last goodbyes I bled for you You know I tried When you're rid of me What will you look back and say? That your wasted time You can't get back and try Left too numb to cry And now the skies have blackened This cross I bear for you And now I'm dying again By flames of my obsession I won't let you go If I could clip off your wings Spit out the bitter poison Silence will leave you cold Hold on to this misery When it's all that you've known I hold on in the wake of your absence In my heart I can't let go And now I'm dying again By flames of my obsession I won't let you go If I could clip off your wings Spit out the bitter poison Silence will leave you cold I do this all for myself Always I seek redemption Silence will leave you cold

Our demons are on display Be damned these eyes have seen You can't cure a poisoned soul Can't fix an addict gene Like a vulture to a corpse Like a convict to a chain Among the harlots and the whores "Don't fear the dark!", she said Fear what it hides In every trace of malice That filthy whore resides Between her legs lies man's infection St. Peter closed the gates of heaven Welcome to Babylon 2007 Empathy beats in our hearts no more So different looks your paradise When birthed by Satan's whore Rape Souls we'll rape Defy him Shapes Profane shapes Deny him In this heart I give to you My bleeding virtue My life in vain We're all dead inside (trespass against me) We're all dead inside (..and by god, I'll catch you) In this heart I give to you My bleeding virtue My life in vain ..We're all dead inside..

Distance has bred avidity I'm trapped and cannot fail Now I dissolve alone These days have bled me dry I've been left alone here To drown in my own fears These days have bled me dry If lies were true and lies were new Would you still walk alone Or would you sharpen words That cut me to the bone I've been left alone here To drown in my own fears Darkness cover me tonight I'm trapped in your shadows I'm broken by sorrow Love will be denied to me We're at the ending of our travels Her bitter words I bleed The grains of our spent lives The sands were shifting downward Killing what I can not have Met me melt away the lies Let me take away your soul I cant make you real I watched the stars die in your eyes

Distance between us bears its weight on me These words I pledge to you I will never falter I resent the burdens laid on you Through my convictions We will be together again No matter what the trials They will not break us My life reflects these screams Hate tore through me at the seams Been shaped through bitter years The venom burned my tears My life I give to you This fight I will not lose You are my heart Alone I am nothing The weapons they trust Will slowly wither and rust Ensuring all that falls around us failed you Ill see you again Its just more then I could stand This road I walk is paved with failure This is my declaration Impose my will They fall against me These walls are suffocating All the world has seen the scars I bear I know you'll never judge me Through my convictions we will be together again I cant forget the past These wounds were meant to last Yet I still face the day A testament to strength The rage to overcome My battles fought and won You are my heart Alone I am nothing

Upon my crimson thorns A king in my own mind Encase my dying heart These wall built far too high No more my words shall be taken for granted by you Your vanity My failure The silence burned us through I've been lost in endless seas My heart died long ago I curse my failures as I fall from you This one last flame I wish to burn The day that left us dead Time's carved my bitter soul That you don't understand One last flame Within the waves she looks as I recall Naked and cold One last flame Now when I cast my eyes to open water Her image will appear A vision of beauty broken Her words forever spoken "How could you leave me here"? I've been lost in endless seas My heart died long ago I curse my failures as I fall from you This candle's burning one last flame The darkness covers all With a dying breath I speak your name Alone among the fall

Raise your voices to the stars Upon this silent alter From lips to her brow Still accused Did I not bleed for you I cant get the stain off Burned by the foolish pride You left me With idle hands I left love I let it turn to dust My blood runs cold Her kiss a venomous taste Roses turn to withered stalks Alone I tread this path I walk I cant get the stain off With my heart on my sleeve Like a badge of sorrow You made a fool of me Now your blood is my desire To drain you of life I must do Give yourself to me To walk away from light Let me drown in the flood Blind by the fear of what was Some are kings All are fools None can last None can choose Take these scars I gave a lifetime

These embers turn to flames of yearning I walked behind for too long I can't stop the bleeding These open wounds you left aren't healing How the days just burn away For you, I wished for something better Cover my mouth and take my breath away You killed the life inside of me You walked away and left me to crawl These changes in your heart deserving Nothing more than to say you were right Cover my mouth and take my breath away You killed the life inside of me You walked away and left me to crawl Open your wrists I'll let you bleed on me Don't live another day You walked away and left me to crawl These open wounds aren't healing Nothing is forever ..And when I dream of the light in your eyes I still reach for you Into the night Nothing is forever Cover my mouth and take my breath away You killed the life inside of me You walked away and left me to crawl Cover my mouth and take my breath away You killed the life inside of me You walked away and left me to crawl

This is my retribution Your betrayal awoke my ire Your one life counts as hundreds blood Drained cast upon the pyre Empires fall and cities crumble Still no remorse left for the dead ..And I search for you In a sea of faces They're all the same to me Ask the dead if they'll trade places ..And this wolf you would set free This wolf you would set free All light will vanish Your angels sing no more The stain of choking prayers The wolf is at your door You sit with rival gods At your feet you find your place in hell This is my retribution Your betrayal awoke my life

Stupor of fools Trapped in a paradox Slip back Dream state Flesh crawls as your body rots away Angels with broken halos A sawn song Burn away the day Its not your plight So why even try A trap in every word you say Now your left to pick up the ruins She holds you captive in lies I cant see the strings Yet I feel them pulling slow I've got hell inside of me I'm falling down How could you feed me poison How could you take my dignity She holds you captive in lies The clones keep marching on....
The relics of my long dead past A black rose in constant bloom No tears for my misfortune This shadow Heart no one intrudes ...And I've lived in my own way These words I've lived to tell When you knew you couldn't save me To open arms or death you gave me If my words open your eyes Would that make this justified I've been left behind So why do we seek our tortures Blind words of noble men This opaque heart I curse I've come so far now The past I've left behind These years of anguish left me hollow You have crowned yourself a queen Yet a pawn that you have made I choke in the blackened waters Amidst the waves Alive we'll burn

Most people live without purpose Blessed are the dead You'll find the weight of burden heavy Like a soul filled with lead Our bones will grind together In a mass grave No one weeps While children drown together Sustain the creatures of the deep I reject your morals I've seen too many years of sorrow Fuck this rotting planet from poisoned waters East of nothing We lost our burning passion Pain of failure is hard to bear Took a bullet ride to Cobain fashion For our deeds were watered in our fears How civil men turn vicious In the quest for gold and wealth Use words of plastic values Then hit below the belt
