Let me paint you a picture Death settles in the air Painting the clouds in red with no mercy to spare The wind howls, shifting the heat Souls cry out for help, but there is hope before defeat Three souls plunge down from the heavens above, bringing down the sky The girl with wings serenades her fall from grace with a line everyone now knows Honestly, I can't breathe Pull me close, don't let go Honestly, I can't breathe Pull me close, don't let go Can't you see that I am terrified to make it home alive? To break down the walls of suffering To go from heaven to hell From heaven to hell (And so I tell them) If you want peace, then prepare for war Unholy Trinity, welcome to the rabbit hole Trinity, welcome to the rabbit hole Welcome to the rabbit hole And then there were three cast down from the worlds above Let me introduce the first She wears disdain and a noose as a necklace Meet the Girl of Glass

"I'm not afraid to die, I’m just afraid to live I'm not afraid to die, I'm just afraid to live" I’m not afraid to die, I'm just afraid to live My obliteration's imminent “Welcome to Hell, enjoy your stay” Damn you all I'm not afraid to live, I'm just afraid to die "Girl of Glass, tell us your tale" The story begins with the destruction of my soul With every passing day, I'm feeling less and less at home Lions hunted by sheep; your father doomed us all This backwards place will break the unbreakable Like a shepherd of fire; I part the sea of flames Heavenly glow, don't slow mе down; I'm getting used to poisoning my ways And the night, it dancеs on The black sun reminds me I’m long gone In my world, the dusk is ever-last; like endless sand to an open-ended hourglass I haven’t slept for days (Slept for days) You can't see my tears while I’m dancing in the rain ‘So numb the pain' is what you'd say if you had stayed with me But this body of glass shatters to your memory I am unbreakable, I'm so breakable I am unbreakable, oh God, I’m so breakable Wings will let me fly, bones will make me fall My hope will let me fly, rope will pull me down I hope my oblivion sets in soon So I can forget the memory of loving you Honestly, I want to breathe; the air that tastes so foul The air that burns my throat (The air that burns my throat) That brings me to my knees And while I haven't much left, I'll keep the promise I kept And through it all, I'd orchestrate the end of the world for you I'm not afraid to live, I'm not afraid to live I'm afraid to die inside when you see me alive I don't want to die in your arms over and over again I don't want to die in your arms over and over again I don't want to die in your arms over and over again I don't want to be stuck in a limbo I don't want to die in your arms over and over again I want the life I'm owed I'll come back home to you “My favorite, the one that took his own life for his brother; with all suffering gone, you were reborn not a man, but a warrior…” “The deadliest Hell has seen…”

Show us why demons cower Desperado of Hell's Plains This descent will be the death of those opposing The path they’ve chosen was never made for the weak And they are one with weakness Let me show you how god abandoned me Before I died I never knew how bad my demons were And now I'm here, I get to suffer every day with them I have no reason to stand on my own feet Every single victory is met with another defeat I may have won the battle, but I fucked the war Encased in a black cloud, I'm lost forevermore I’ve lived with violence embedded in my flesh Nobody knows who I'll target next I live with violence embedded in my flesh So start running, you’re who I’ll target next All you have left is hours Cause when I drop in, you’ll scatter like cowards (Click, click, ouss, ouss) All you have left is hours Fear always gathers in the cowards Little do you know The most noble thing I did was off myself For all the demons in my head The worst were the people around me “I was so caught up in saving everyone else I never thought to save myself” My thoughts sounded like a whisper That got lost in the wind To everyone I’ve ever loved To everyone I’ve let down Go fuck yourself I hope you find happiness in the real world I'll be biding my time, waiting for you all down here Finding haven for the angel and the queen When you find a backbone, come join us three Motherfucker, do it I can't get lower than hell But I'll be damned if I don't try In this fucking hole Every life is worthless I said I'd blow my brains out, you didn't listen I bet you feel fucking ashamed now I was pulled away by the tide And you just watched me drown But I don't feel like drowning anymore They called me the Rodent, they call me the Rōnin So much for a Homecoming, blow out your fucking... All thoughts of suffering have come to an end All that's left of me is unrelenting violence Kill shot Desperado of Hell's Plains; Rōnin God abandoned us all And left you here with me Everything dies with me here Loaded double barrel, blow you to pieces I am war, I am pestilence And I will wreak havoc as I will see fit "Ah, the innocent one The deer caught in the crosshairs But now demons bow to you, don't they? Queen of Misanthropy"

I lost my mind when my body dropped As blood soaked through my clothes, I was left to rot There were no flowers for me; no friends or family, just empty company I had a love, and he broke my heart; tore it open with a knife and cried ‘til the convulsions stopped Watch me bleed for those I love; I’ll sleep in the grave I made I’ll wait for you to join me here, my love It’s all in the way you say my name and the hate you gave up for... I should have known my fate was predetermined I fell in love with the devil and I was hunted like vermin The love we had, and although it killed me I would do all again if I could set him free You don’t know shit about sacrifice I bled for everyone I loved Watch me bleed for those I love I’ll sleep in the grave I made I’ll wait for you to join me here, my love It’s all in the way you say my name and the hate you gave up for me “I know we’re on different paths, but we’ll come back together in the end I’ll wait for you, my dear; but I guess the hurt outweighed the love I gave But you don’t know how far I’ve come” I tried to speak love, but lost the words With lungs full of blood, a knife in my throat, I formed the words I choked (You were…) Reborn from dirt, pulled from the ash with more heart than before, for those I adored You thought when it rained, it poured? (Well…) Put the barrel between your fucking teeth and bleed I’ll show you true hate and what it really means I’m glad I didn’t listen when they told me all to stay away ‘Cause when you’re sad, I’m happy in the pouring rain I’m sick of all the tropes where all the villains die in the end We should be reigning supreme What’s a court without their Queen? Get on your knees for the Queen of Misanthropy (We all die in the end, I’d die again for you) This is my reign, yeah this is my reign (Die again for you) Get on your knees for the Queen of Misanthropy I’ll wait for you, my king, in the black rot Watch me bleed for those I love Watch me bleed for those I love Love Watch me bleed for those I love

"Bear one another's burdens, so fulfill the law of Christ" The burdens laid before us fulfilled nothing but disgust "We say we have no sin, deceivous, the truth is not in us" Reads the book that lied, God sees no forgiveness Nor did he see me, blood eagled on the cross "Who sheds the blood of man, by man shall his blood be shed" God made man in his image? Well, I see our reflection And we're lookin' "Promethean" You thought you'd kill me, because you thought you had a chancе? Because the good book said that I'm not your fеllow man? You say what goes around comes around You say what goes around comes around You say what goes around comes around If we're going to hell, then I'll see you on the way down You see, what goes around comes around You see, what goes around comes around You see, what goes around comes around If we're going to hell, then I'll see you on the way down Blessed by a king, long live his throne Coveting me for breathing fire, breaking bone He led us to a haven where we could rest our heads A haven of angels, of those beaten Death For years we battled with the ones who kept us down But their foundation was crumbling, the Echo usurped the crown Giving it to the people, law and order stormed the grounds He crushed our foe, but lost a life, his own Old friend of mine, for what it's worth I'm higher now than the flames we made to burn them down You say what goes around comes around You say what goes around comes around You say what goes around comes around If we're going to hell, then I'll see you on the way down You wanted God? Well, you've got him now And the wrath I bring shall destroy and bring you down You say what goes around comes around? The time has come and I am burning you fucking down You call us beasts, you call us swine With tongues of daggers and a narrow mind When you look at us, do you see yourselves? Is that why you're scared? Is that why you fight? So you keep us heathens in the dark So you can prosper in the light But what happens when you burn out the sun? Will you see the damage you've done? The monster's not us, it's what you've become You wanted Gods, well, you've got 'em now And the wrath we bring shall destroy and bring you down “I am Elias DeGraver…” “And I am Atticus Encey” “The time has come; The Order's come to put you down” You say what goes around comes around You say what goes around comes around You say what goes around comes around If we're going to hell, then I'll see you on the way down We were gods above you all (You say what goes around comes around) The monsters in the dark that made your skin crawl (You say what goes around comes around) But we will hide in the shadows no longer (You say what goes around comes around) This world is ours, long live The Holy Order We're higher now than the mortals that brought us down Order

I knew we'd made a mistake as soon as I stepped inside I smell the liquor on his breath; A subtle hint of red wine Our driver laughed, a chaotic grin on his face He asked us where we're going; “I can take you any place" Take me home, take me home, take me home now Take me home Another one for the trip, another one for the road The bottom of the bottle is the lowest you can go A girl like you would never survive the road (Take me home) My burdens are too much to bear My spirit is broken and I'm looking worse for wear (Take me home) My bleeding heart has bled dry Another reason I'm not to be left to drive The hands of fate turn the wheel Poison begins to lose its feel Into the bones seep toxic woe Indistinguishable friend or foe Demons claim your right to think No one forced you to have another fucking drink With loose lips, ships die and sink Like karma and the devil working in sync (I'm losing control) “But I'm bound to Hell, and loving it” (Burn my body when I'm done) “I'm having too much fun” Spit out your tongue Demon of the wheel, spit out your tongue “Oh, the Royal Queen in the passenger seat; of everyone I've driven, you're the only one to lose their shit” (Take me home) My burdens are too much to bear My spirit is broken and I'm looking worse for wear (Take me home) My bleeding heart has bled dry Another reason I'm not to be left to drive (Take me home) Another one for the trip, and one for the road? The bottom of the bottle, the lowest you can go (Take me home) And me, I won't survive the road Foot to the floor, let's make us nothing more Foot to the floor, let's make us nothing more Pirouette to the collapse of the machine A tragedy we should have foreseen Metal scrapes as it dances across the asphalt Death laughs like he's not at fault Trapped inside a cage of substance so bitter We all burn together We all burn together Gimme fuel, gimme fire, get me out of this fucking car “Use this to draw the blood of the Baron and you three will be returned to Earth enlightened But be warned, if used to slay the ruler of your realm, the ones you love will return but not in the way that you desire Beware the wolves, maintain the keepers of the gates or converge our three worlds, and be struck down by Hell's rain”

Drowning in my own trepidation Leave me here to die Swallowed up by sin I can't seem to sink or swim Stuck somewhere in the in-between I'm finding it harder to breathe I feel the cold clog my veins in this lake of ice In this lake of ice Sink down (Sink down) Until I hit the floor I'd cry out for help, but I fear I'd be doing wrong Bury yourself deep within the pain No one needs to see who I am again All I do is bring the world disdain Burdens weigh my feet as I sink like an anchor to a chain Like an anchor to a... Drowning in my own trepidation Leave me here to die Swallowed up by sin I can't seem to sink or swim Stuck somеwhere in the in-bеtween I'm finding it harder to breathe I feel the cold clog my veins (Cold clog my veins) In this lake of ice My sins weigh me down (Weigh me down) Like a cross upon my back (Upon my back) Every hour passing by puts me further in my mind How am I meant to survive when I feel barely alive? How am I meant to survive when I feel barely alive? The cold seeps deep into my bones, I just want to feel at home I just want to feel at home My burdens weigh my feet as I sink, like an anchor to a chain How am I meant to survive when I feel barely alive? Drowning in my own trepidation Leave me here to die Swallowed up by sin I can't seem to sink or swim Stuck somewhere in the in-between I'm finding it harder to breathe I feel the cold clog my veins In this lake of ice In this lake of ice Breathe in and let three breaths out Like the ocean tide, it comes in waves of doubt Let three out, make me feel alive Make me feel alive The wings I bare have weighed me down I can reclaim my life, but I’ll never feel alive

I have awaited you three; watched and mourned as you've traveled across my land with decimation and barbaric cruelty Yet, I am captivated by you, Rōnin; for someone filled with tumultuous thoughts, you have managed to stay alive You have kept them from a fate bleaker than death, commendable, but the time has come to pay, and it is I who shall be rewarded by your demise I’ve come for blood, blood, blood...

By the throne The blood trickles down through the crevices of the device Leading us from the realm In the foreboding glow of the lights and ichor A battalion awaits of those doomed forevermore Pulled apart, piece by piece; the sky begins to swirl, and I sing "take us home" Anxiety builds as the army advances, the Rōnin yells, 'Spinning up the '34' Fire rains, tearing down the horde A cacophony of bullets is the symphony of our journey home So close, yet so far "We're cutting it fuckin' close" As we three are surrounded The Queen and the Rōnin repelling Hell's advances Ethereal projections of a wormhole emerge With a Keeper reaching out to me, and a shove from the queen I fall I fall through time and space The lights of the worlds cocoon me in their glow Am I awake, or simply dreaming? Reconstruction of the bones and heart completing The earth slowed when mine stopped beating So what happens when I stop breathing? Matter combines with matter in the alchemy of amity But with great calamity, love ends with tragedy Take me home Pull me close and don't let go I'm traveling dimensions at a billion miles an hour I can't escape this feeling, euphoric at last I'm traveling dimensions, and you can't stop me now I’m dancing on air, high above the ground Pull me close and don't let go Don't hold your... Don't hold your breath Patterns appear before my eyes; step back to reality, am I truly alive? Welcome home from the other side of the line Red clouds consume the sky Years have passed since Heaven collapsed Welcome home to what is now mine

I've surfaced from the wreckage by creating more damage Those I loved, where we grew up are now nothing but shells with broken bones; abandoned and left alone Where did all the love go? Could you pull me close, if you wanted to let me go? Beautiful body of glass, did the love die in the silence? Red clouds bury the sky The body lives, but the heart has died I’ve traveled so far; reclaimed my life, but lost so much more The love I once had has moved on How can I live with the fact that he’s fallen for another man? Oh, how I’ve lost my way; nobody cares I blew out my brains Can you see why he was terrified for the homecoming? Soldier of none Is the sea still flames Or did the fire die besides amity? Red clouds bury the sky The body lives, but the heart has died Oh King, where did thou go? Trapped inside a bitter man who overturned your throne I'm the last one left, and the most alone The choir sings, “Love come back home to me” Royal queen, are you terrified that the love has died? Trinity, can you feel the change? A decade has passed since we had the rain Now red clouds bury the sky; your bodies live, but your hearts have died “You won’t even recognize my face” “These tired eyes have seen nothing but disdain” No you won’t even see us at all, the red clouds swirl the sky Our bodies live, but hearts have... I didn't even get to say goodbye… These violet eyes can do nothing else but cry And the grave where you now lie is filled in next to mine The red clouds swirl the sky; my body lives, but my heart has died

It's all about the; he said, then she said; “Verity broke him beyond repair” But since I learnt the truth, I've never seen clearer Murders, lies and alibis sent me to the depths of the Hell and more You think I'm weak 'cause I was caught off guard?

But wh- you're gone, how are you... h- You have no idea what the hell you've done, do you? So you're the keeper hunting us, how? You died! No no no no no Let me tell you how I died; My life was taken by a man who could finally get the best of me An occasion to rejoice; the spinning coin had finally dropped Though I was not sent to Hell, I received a judgement far worse I became a keeper of worlds, a just sentence for a life so cursеd In the time since passеd I've been the keeper of gates I've stopped catastrophes with the clap of my hands I kept the worlds in balance, I've been pulling the strings Heaven, Hell and Earth have been my marionette What happens when there's no one to watch the gate? When the strings are cut; no one's controlling fate? When the artist is pushed in the midst of an act? When three worlds collide, because I wasn't asked... If I even want to be alive, if I want to be by your side If I'm happy or if I'm dead inside I'm sick of always being the one to blame when you're the ones who's set this world aflame The good are meant to die young, and the worst die last You tried to stop the rain, but all you did was bring the storm Like I'm a maestro conducting an orchestra where the angels play harps and the demons play strings How fitting and awesome that would be to see; it's all kept in line, a balance of three worlds until this girl wants her love to come back home to her He doesn't want it nor need it, but it's what she deserves Forget Heaven, forget Hell, forget the balance of worlds As long as we have each other, it'll be ‘til my death 'til us deter The wolves are at the door 'Cause no one guarded the gate Your ignorance and need for love has brought Hell upon us all I'm contractually obliged to make sure that you suffer here To repay my sins, for all the evil I've done See I was meant to stay dead so the good can live That's the price of pain, because you tried to stop the rain 'Cause you tried to stop the rain Do you know what you've done, or the damage you’re about to cause through the collapse of worlds? Now I can’t even light, my own fucking cigarette Jay... I.. I'm Sorry Oh come on... I ne- I never wanted this Oh come on... Oh... Julian listen to me! Oh, for heaven’s sake Do you know what you've done? Do you know what you've caused? The price we'll pay, oh so great (my worse side said it best) A kingdom falls, as do we all A kingdom falls, as do we all There's acid in the rain to dissolve us of all our sins I said ‘God Abandoned Me’, but God Abandoned Us All

Well I died for you all, but resurrection's a bitch What do you do when a king walks in? Do you get on your knees, or die on your feet? Do you atone for your sins? (And the mortals sing) Hail to the King Get on your knees and bow to me Do you wanna diе for nothing? Oh, Hail to the King Do you hear those trumpеts Gabriel's playing for me? A king needs a Queen, and Clara my dear Will you sit on this throne again? Can I be forgiven? Of course my love Well then Let the reign begin Oh, great Fucking bow Oh, King First order of business; die Live by the sword, die by thy hand Death rides a horse of pale white Tyranny reigns as the worlds collide Bodies of mortal are merged with the throne Kneel to the crown, or die by the stone Heaven has no place in this realm Corpses burn bright A signal fire for the foes Death rides a horse of pale white He's coming as the King's hand of the right (And the mortals sing) Hail to the king Get on your knees and bow to me Do you wanna die for nothing? Oh, Hail to the King When over is thy reign, you will all remember my name; Sher. Lock. A. Bones True king of the Devil's Throne Let the rivers run blood, and be purified By the fire, royal flames, of the great divine And when you pay in your death, you shall be revived The Hellhound merged worlds so he can never die The mortals, the monsters, you all sing; Oh, Hail to the King (Hail to the King) Get on your knees and bow to me Do you wanna die for nothing? Fucking, Hail to the King When over is thy reign You will all remember my name A kingdom needs a king and a queen And with all this misanthropy I think we’re a perfect fit Let the tyranny begin! Here comes the thunder Samsara ignites the flames of an ancient throne Throw fire, throw stone, the crushing of the bones Mortality has never quite been in my grasp But I'll make sure you'll all feel it when I clap my hands Three worlds kneeling isn't enough for me 7 billion living, dead, and the in-between This isn't Heaven, nor Hell, this is my tyranny A parting of the clouds brings us a figure to challenge the king of his throne, of his claim. The Narrator who paved a way for the Trinity, paints the final picture for you all to see Streets are overrun with minions of the King; Darkness casts a shadow, hope is quickly dwindling "These worlds were never meant to merge 'til I was ready to reign; Your claim to the throne is feign For I am the one who set the apocalyptic clock I gave you keys to the gates knowing you'd all fuck up" The King screams; "I choose who lives or dies. My power is everything" “Pathetic.” Quickly cast aside in the pale light A king and queen fall, like they were pawns all along Horrified, the Narrator reveals his true name: Baphicho, King of the First Reign Oh sun, so silent, you showed us the heavens But at the summit of our divine, we see a mountain inverted; a lie Now the skies deep red, encircled with anger Collapse upon the world does an evil, fallen from its manger Or is it rising to an apocalyptic climax? As the ground is scorched by the blood The skin of the earth; stripped off its back The Hand of the King, fools gold as it were Has torn the boundaries of God's will to form my new world The voice of Narration And I prologue the last tale I am not a man, but a god The First Gloom; King Baphicho Thank you Trinity, for releasing me For tolling this world's final bell Heaven hath come, but not before Hell Oh shit... Prepare for finality Heaven hath come, but not before Hell Rip the earth's soul from its carcass Tear the earth's heart from its core Blood rains down from hell above As heaven burns below Heaven burns below I'll see you all in the new world; Apocalypta Apocalypta Apocalypta Trinity, you've doomed us all I'll see you all in the new world; Apocalypta Apocalypta Apocalypta Apocalypta
