Mark of the Blade

It took a long time to realize and admit that our words don't mean a thing, so keep talking your shit. How can we honestly live in fear when everyone will die in a hundred years? Respect, trust and loyalty! I've gave it out and I've taken it too. But what's the point when everyone will secretly think they're better than you? This is what we have become, a self absorbed population of scum. The vision of the future is like staring at the sun. God damn the elitist ones! This is what we have become, a self absorbed population of scum. The vision of the future is like staring at the sun. God damn the elitist ones, this is what we have become! I've seen it all! There's nothing I haven't heard, just stay at home and remain a coward. And swallow down that salt in your mouth because nobody gives a fuck what comes out. Respect, trust and loyalty! I've gave it out and I've taken it too. But what's the point when everyone will secretly think they're better than you? This is what we have become, a self absorbed population of scum. The vision of the future is like staring at the sun. God damn the elitist ones! This is what we have become, a self absorbed population of scum. The vision of the future is like staring at the sun. God damn the elitist ones! One day we'll all regret the things we've said. From here on out don't open your mouth, show some fucking respect! Show some fucking respect, Karma will come for your neck. I've run out of patience for so called elitists! Show some fucking respect, Karma will come for your neck. I've run out of patience for so called elitists! Respect, trust and loyalty! I've gave it out and I've taken it too. But what's the point when everyone will secretly think they're better than you? This is what we have become, a self absorbed population of scum. The vision of the future is like staring at the sun. God damn the elitist ones! This is what we have become, a self absorbed population of scum. The vision of the future is like staring at the sun. God damn the elitist ones, This is what we have become, God damn the elitist ones! This is what we have become, God damn the elitist ones!

I close my eyes and count to ten, the seconds turn to years and slowly I've been recognizing everything through an adolescent mind. It's so dark here... For the first time I feel alive but you're not here! Life it changes, wake me up and bring me home. Let me stay here forever! I can't see a thing, I'm lying in my bed, I can't stop thinking. It's driving me insane never got to say goodbye, it's still dark here. For the first time I feel alive but you're not here! Life it changes, wake me up and bring me home. Let me stay here forever! I'll live on and carry your name and be what you always thought I could be. I hope we meet at the end, but I'll never forgive the world for taking my best friend. I can't see a thing, I can't feel a thing...

I bet you won’t have much to say when a sledgehammer rares back and busts you in your face. Pop another pill, pretend you’re not fake. Come to think of it, maybe your life’s a mistake. Don’t breathe, don’t speak, I need a moment to think what you would be without me. You are the bane of everything, nothing will ever be the same. Don’t think that you’re better off now or you have a clean slate. How can you sleep at night when the earth shakes, just self-medicate. Don’t think that you’re better off now or you have a clean slate. How can you sleep at night when the earth shakes, just self-medicate. Two thousand miles away even I can feel the earth shake when you say that everything will be okay. There’s nothing left, we’re facing death and you still can’t admit that everything won’t be okay. They will say it’s lonely at the top but it’s a nightmare at the bottom. They’ll never stop to think or feel, don’t tell me you’re alone when I’m lying here dying at the foot of their throne. Misguide me, mislead me, take me away from everyone that needs me. I’m drowning, I’m dying and you still won’t reach me. Don’t think that you’re better off now or you have a clean slate. How can you sleep at night when the earth shakes, just self-medicate. I’m drowning, I’m dying, and you still won’t reach me. I’m drowning, I’m dying, I’m on my final breath and you still won’t reach! Two thousand miles away even I can feel the earth shake when you say that everything will be okay. There’s nothing left, we’re facing death and you still can’t admit that everything won’t be okay. If I die you’re coming with me, they say it’s euphoric anyway. Speak my name and feel the earth shake, feel the earth shake!

It’s been a decade, what the fuck makes you think that my mind is the same? Because it’s time for a change! This is evolution not a solution to seek out fortune or fame. I would rather kill myself than to live my life for someone else. I would rather burn in Hell than to give my soul to sell. I would rather kill myself than to live my life for someone else. I would rather burn in Hell than to give my soul to sell. The pressure builds, I’m only hanging by a thread. It’s like I’ve got a gun to my head! This industry is killing me, how many people do I have to please? I’ll just stay in this rut because it’s easier to just not give a fuck. This industry is killing me, I don’t have anymore blood left to bleed. It doesn’t matter how deep you cut because it’s easier to just not give a fuck. I just don't give a fuck! I would rather kill myself than to live my life for someone else. I would rather burn in Hell than to give my soul to sell. The pressure builds, I’m only hanging by a thread. It’s like I’ve got a gun to my head! I’m just trying to help you realize that no matter what everything will die. I’ve worked my whole life, this wasn’t luck. Talk all you want because I don’t give a fuck. I don’t give a fuck! I don’t owe a thing to you or anyone. Trust me when I say that I couldn’t care less if you were dead. Trust me when I say that I couldn’t care less if you were dead. This industry is killing me, how many people do I have to please? I’ll just stay in this rut because it’s easier to just not give a fuck. This industry is killing me, I don’t have anymore blood left to bleed. It doesn’t matter how deep you cut because it’s easier to just not give a fuck. This industry will never be a place of peace and clarity. I’ll just stay in this rut because it’s easier to just not give a fuck. I just don't give a fuck, I just don't give a fuck!

The cold air hits my lungs, all is silent. I can’t stop biting my tongue, I feel so violent. They say that I’m nothing, that I am better off dead. They’re right in my head! But I won’t leave this earth without theirs. I hate the man you’ve made me become. Take responsibility when it’s the innocent one’s turn to bleed. What you call normality is everything I want to be. Fuck the world, I don’t care anymore! All I wanted was a friend not to be ignored. I know where you lay your head, it’s with the rest of the ones in my basement. Fuck the world, I don’t care anymore! Shut me down, shut me out! Now that the tables have turned please tell me how does it feel that everyone you know and love will be killed? Shut me down, shut me out! Now that everyone’s dead please tell me how does it feel that everyone you know and love has been killed? Everything I am is everything I hate because of you. Because of you I am everything I hate! When will people learn that their words create a flame that burns forever? You’ve created a monster, it’s growing stronger, we won’t be alive much longer. Forget the future, the past has come back. So take a moment to hope you’re forgiven. I doubt that you reap what you sow, you pay what you owe, and unfortunately for you it’s your soul. Fuck the world, I don’t care anymore! All I wanted was a friend not to be ignored. I know where you lay your head, it’s with the rest of the ones in my basement. Fuck the world, I don’t care anymore! Shut me down, shut me out! Now that the tables have turned please tell me how does it feel that everyone you know and love will be killed? Shut me down, shut me out! Now that everyone’s dead please tell me how does it feel that everyone you know and love has been killed?

This track is instrumental.

Is this song not instrumental?

I dwell in the shadows of a past life! And I welcome you to try to pull my thoughts to the outside, introverted am I supposed to be a man that doesn’t hold it back. I don’t need the spotlight, all I need is to be the man I know I am. I dwell in the shadows of a past life! And I never thought my words would change the lives of the mentally disturbed. It’s insane to me, I help lyrically, it seems you’re more fucked up than me. But that’s who we are, mass produced psychos with a million scars. That’s who we will be, and you’re the ones that made me. Don’t ever change! We are who we are and it should remain the same. If you don’t want to dwell in the light then dwell in the shadows with me. I am a ghost, they never see the side I hate the most. Blackened by the outside I’m fighting a rising tide. I’m not afraid, this is the part of my life that has made me who I am. And what I am is a tortured soul helping them to see the light. I am a voice for the people to relate to my hate, but I’ll always dwell in the shadows until you call for me. They will call us evil, forever they’ll shun. But just call my name and I’ll take their tongues. This blade cuts deeper than flesh, it cuts down to the soul as we dwell in the shadows. I am your voice for them to hear, I am your thoughts, I am your fears. We are one and we are all as we dwell in the shadows. I never thought I could hold on or help anyone to get out of the darkness and stop them from a suicide. I know when you’re lost it’s hard to find any peace for your mind, let me be your voice and hold the balance of mankind. May we all find our way and stop us from self-destructing. If that day still comes I’ll die the man I always was. Don’t ever change! We are who we are and it should remain the same. If you don’t want to dwell in the light then dwell in the shadows with me. Dwell in the shadows with me! If you don’t want to dwell in the light then dwell in the shadows with me.

Hypnotized the serpent’s eyes draw me to the venomous lies, take me down the path of failure and to my imminent demise. Ice is flowing through its veins and his touch gives me a frozen heart. Paralyzed! In his eyes I can see the hypocrisy and his noxious grin convinces me that I’ll get what I need so he plants the seed. And immediately I feel invincibility, but it can’t be real, it doesn’t make sense that I can feel so incomplete! What you have done? I can’t move but I feel like I am free. There’s blood everywhere! I’m losing my mind, this isn’t me. This venom flowing through my veins, has set me free but I’m still wrapped in chains. Emotions are true, the words are fake, I’ve been paralyzed be this venomous snake. This venom flowing through my veins, consumes my soul but it takes away the pain. Emotions are true, the words are fake, I’ve been paralyzed be this venomous snake.

Ice is flowing through its veins and his touch gives me a frozen heart, I’m breaking down but I must regain my strength so I can tear us apart. I won’t succumb, my body is numb but I’m growing stronger. Now that I have you be your throat I’ll take your life and everything you own. Almighty serpent, you shall serve me now. I’ve taken the throne! Warn them of my rebirth, I’ll conquer this earth and make it my own. I am your master, I own your soul. You are the bastard son of flesh and blood. You are the bastard son of flesh and blood!
