Wolves at the Gate
Album • 2019
I can taste the misery Spitting out the remedy All I've been through, all that I've seen These eyes, this heart still can't dispel the lies I don't know if I can feel it Floating downward, fading slowly Static message, cryptic signals Cataracts can't see things clearly Divide the cure from the poison and misery Sever the ties that enslave and are killing me Take it all as I stumble and lose control I was chasing nothing Take it all, all the torment inside my soul Watch it fade to nothing (Fade to nothing, fade to nothing Fade to nothing, fade to nothing) Scales begin to fall from my eyes Floating downward, fading slowly Vibrant message, glaring signals Brilliant light shines piercing through me Divide the cure from the poison and misery Sever the ties that enslave and are killing me Divide the cure from the poison and misery Sever the ties that enslave and are killing me, oh Sever the ties that have filled me with doubt Wring out this heart, make it bleed out the curse that's plaguing my eyes Gasping to catch my breath, I feel the poison dissolving Filled with the remedy I once cast aside Take it all as I stumble and lose control I was chasing nothing Take it all, all the torment inside my soul Watch it fade to nothing (Fade to nothing, fade to nothing Watch it fade to nothing) Chasing nothing, oh Filled with the remedy, I'm gaining clarity Oh God, destroy what poisons me Destroy what poisons me

Walk with me and follow close and you will start to feel The chilling grip of hollow lies and what is truly real Oh, hear the echoes Face to face with distant fears that I had thought were numb They clip my heel and bring to light what I have become Oh, echoes (Everything I fear) Listen closely, every seed must die before (Die before) Die before it can grow Sinking slowly to be planted in the dust (In the dust) Long before it can grow A sickness spread across my limbs, I'm covered head to toe Here I’m standing face to face A sight I cannot bear I'm clawing and scratching to turn from what I see The chilling grip of all my lies and what is truly real I can hardly bear Listen closely, every seed must die before (Die before) Die before it can grow Sinking slowly to be planted in the dust (In the dust) Long before it can grow It's darkening and fading out It’s darkening and fading out It's darkening and fading out It's darkening and fading out Darkening, fading out Fading out Standing at the great divide (At the great divide, at the great divide) I fell into the ground and died (In the ground and died, in the ground and died) The taste of death was bittersweet (The taste of death was bittersweet) I fell into the ground and died But death made me alive Death made me alive Death made me alive Listen closely, every seed must die before (Die before) Die before it can grow Sinking slowly to be planted in the dust (In the dust) Long before it can grow

Tell me I'm yours (Tell me I'm yours) Tell me I'm not alone (You're not alone) I'm falling apart in this silence alone Tell me I'm yours (Tell me I'm yours) Tell me I'm not alone Tell me I'm not alone I see the night slipping over It crawls along, coming closer I feel the lies pull me under I hear your voice like it's thunder You're falling in love with the silence It's telling you all that you want to hear You're falling in love with the violence It's telling you all that you want to hear (Want to hear) I crept along in the shadows I drowned the guilt in the shallows It's buried now, covered in doubt I hear your voice (Tell me I'm not alone) You're falling in love with the silence It's telling you all that you want to hear You're falling in love with the violence It's telling you all that you want to hear (Want to hear) I'm all alone Tell me I'm not alone Tell me I'm yours (Tell me I'm yours) Tell me I'm not alone (I'm not alone) Tell me that I'm not alone in this world Tell me I'm not, tell me I'm not I drowned out your voice (I drowned out your voice) And hardened my heart to stone (My heart to stone) I filled all my voids But opened my wounds The pain digs in deeper and deeper I filled all my voids But opened my wounds The pain digs in deeper and deeper A voice cut its way through the silence Telling me of love that is sincere You quiet my heart from the violence You're falling in love with the silence It's telling you all that you want to hear You're falling in love with the violence It's telling you all that you want to hear Forgiveness despite my defiance Telling me of love that is sincere Forgiveness despite my defiance Telling me of love that is sincere

A perilous load is resting on my back and A merciless road is what is set before me A terrible path is mine to walk and mine alone Mine to walk alone Don't worry anymore I'll do this on my own Don't worry anymore I'll walk this path alone All I know is I'm missing the signs, buying my time Eventually I know I'll fall below And drift out of line drifting away (Imprisoned in my mind) I stagger along this wretched path I've wandered Reopening wounds that are familiar to me The sirens are calling me but I can't look away I can't look away It's tearing me apart I knew it from the start It's tearing me apart It's ripping out my heart All I know is I'm missing the signs, buying my time Eventually I know I'll fall below And drift out of line, drifting away (Imprisoned in my mind) The voices roar, tormenting all my dreams They mock and they roar, exposing history What good has come from them but suffering and pain? My misery will die with them tonight It's tearing me apart (It tears me apart) I knew it from the start (From the start) It's tearing me apart (It's tearing me apart) It's ripping out my heart All I know is I'm missing the signs, buying my time Eventually I know I'll fall below And drift out of line drifting away Imprisoned in my mind There's nothing left, I'm done with all this pain I'm yours to save, so help me find my way Fall below (I'm yours) and drift out of line (To save) Drifting away I'm yours to save

I've got a new enemy, but is it you? Is it me? I've got a feeling that all I fear has come for me I can't wait 'til I see it coming I will face it alone (I will face it alone) I will face it alone I've got a new enemy, but is it you? Is it me? You know it's starting to look and sound a lot like me I can see that it's coming closer Listen close and you'll hear it whisper I'm coming for you now Can you see it? Or will you hear it? The silhouette of my enemy Can you feel it? Or will you know it? I've got a feeling it's come for me I've got an old enemy, but I think it's just me I find it hard to believe the facts, the irony All the lies that I held so dearly Gouge my eyes so I can't see clearly Gripped my throat and they nearly killed me I can't face it alone (I can't face it alone) Can you see it? Or will you hear it? The silhouette of my enemy Can you feel it? Or will you know it? I've got a feeling it's come for me I'm lost (I'm lost), find me (Find me) All along I was my enemy (My enemy) I'm lost now, find me All along I was my enemy (Enemy) I'm lost now, find me All along I was my enemy I couldn't see it, I couldn't hear it The silhouette of my enemy I couldn't feel it, I didn't know it Can you see it? Or will you hear it? The silhouette of my enemy Can you feel it? Or will you know it? I've got a feeling it's come for me Break me out of this warfare waging alone (I can't escape, I can't escape) Break me out of this warfare waging alone (I can't escape, I can't escape)

We just don't care I think that we all know, we're well aware Swallowed in shadows, but still don't care (But still don't care) I think that we all know, we're well aware There's no self-repair Tell me it isn't true, these cries are ruthless And "hatred without a cause", a just illusion Nations all rage against, though it's useless But are we that much different? It's a delusion If knowledge is the power then evil are the kings We are, we are, we are, we are If knowledge is the power then evil are the kings We are, we are, we are, we are Listen and hear the truth, we drown in patience While anchored to our hatred, we're sinking deeper Resisting the hand to save, we turn to violence With armor of apathy, we're getting weaker If knowledge is the power then evil are the kings We are, we are, we are, we are If knowledge is the power then evil are the kings We are, we are, we are, we are How long will we fight The beauty in all the light? How long 'til we find Our way through the night? (Find our way through the night) (How long will we fight The beauty in all the light? How long 'til we find Our way through the night?) We just don't care I think that we all know, we're well aware (We're well aware) Swallowed in shadows, but still don't care (But still don't care) I think that we all know, we're well aware (We're well aware) There's no self-repair Tell me it isn't true, hatred without a cause Tell me all isn't lost, we're fighting without any cause If knowledge is the power then evil are the kings We are, we are, we are, we are If knowledge is the power then evil are the kings We are, we are, we are, we are

The truth of my lies Is tearing up these eyes Because the fire is gone To wash off this stain I would have to burn it all And start it again If I fall away Will I ever see Your face? Is it much too late? Have I gone too far? Am I on the narrow road? I've worn out a path A path that leads to death And I darkened my eyes Cold to Your love Am I inscribed upon Your hands? Am I known at all? If I fall away Will I ever see Your face? Is it much too late? Have I gone too far? Am I on the narrow road That leads to home? I'm falling beneath You I'm calling to take me home I'm falling beneath You I'm calling to take me home I'm falling beneath You I'm calling to take me home, home I'm falling beneath You I'm calling to take me home, home Though I fall away It is then I find more grace Though I'm desolate Though I've gone too far Far beyond the narrow road You lead me home It is then I find more grace (Though I'm desolate) Far beyond the narrow road You lead me home Though I fall away It is then I find more grace

We're fighting for our lives What we deserve is nothing Which one of us survives? I fear that history repeats itself (That history repeats itself, that history repeats itself) That history repeats itself (That history repeats itself) We haven't found the shame (Found the shame) That ties us to our name (Are we bound?) The terrors of the past are not long forgotten (Are we free?) When history repeats itself (Are we bound?) The errors have amassed, they're spoiled, they're rotten (Are we free?) When history repeats itself We're fighting for our lives What we deserve is nothing Which one of us survives? Will we be free? Is it the hate that dies Or just another victim? Which one of us survives? Will we be free? We haven't found the shame (We haven't found the shame) That binds us to our name (That binds us to our name) When the colors that we choose make us pawns in a game There's no one else to blame [Pre-Chorus: Steve Cobucci & Nick Detty] ( Are we bound? ) The terrors of the past are not long forgotten ( Are we free? ) When history repeats itself ( Are we bound? ) The errors have amassed, they're spoiled, they're rotten ( Are we free? ) Proof that a war is still waging [Chorus: Nick Detty & Steve Cobucci ] We're fighting for our lives What we deserve is nothing Which one of us survives? Will we be free? Is it the hate that dies Or just another victim? Which one of us survives? Will we be free? [Bridge: Steve Cobucci & Nick Detty ] Suddenly we're drowning On these tepid seas (We are so indifferent) Do we all we believe that We're finally free? Free The history repeats itself Are we all alone now on these trepid seas? Do we all believe that we're finally free?

Will You carry me across And redeem what I have lost? What I lost Divided as the sea becomes my war Surrounded and I'm swallowed in its roar Sinking down below to the ocean's floor Lost, forsaken, it spits me back out to shore Every time I navigate these seas I am left with nothing Still You carry me across You carried me across And You suffer all my loss You suffered what I caused The horizon paints a ghostly sight as the vessel billows in the night The waters taunt me to return as they toss and scatter the ship they've torn Wreckage in the sea sings my eulogy Overcome by the scene that's in front of me Every time I navigate these seas I am left with nothing Still You carry me across You carried me across And You suffer all my loss You suffered what I caused Wreckage in the sea sings my eulogy Overcome by the scene that's in front of me Every time I navigate these seas, I am left with nothing I've filled up this sea and created its divide Every drop of its curse is the wall I've fortified I will accept my death for it is warranted and true But I cannot come to grips with separation from You Still You carry me across You carried me across And You suffer all my loss You suffered Still You carried, still You carried me And You suffer all my loss You suffered all my loss You lift me up above the sea and carried me through the dross The waves they crashed upon Your frame, You suffered all my loss This rescue came with suffering completely at Your cost It tore Your body through and through, but You brought me safe across

Alone, alone, alone Face the truth of what will soon transpire The time elapsed is going to expire All alone we hurtle towards the sun The beauty and the terror has begun Flames swallow the night Terror alone won't make you believe and see the beauty Shutting your eyes to darken won’t help it, eventually we'll see Steady your legs and brace yourself because there's nowhere to run Ready or not, we all will now see that we’re heading for the sun Alone, alone, alone Trace the warmth, begin to feel the fire Fading in my hands, it all expires Desperate for release, the crowd divides The panic and the peace start to collide Flames swallow the night Comfort from the light It burns eternally Terror alone won't make you believe and see the beauty Shutting your eyes to darken won't help it, eventually we'll see Steady your legs and brace yourself 'cause there's nowhere to run Ready or not, we all will now see that we're heading for the sun Embracing forever Surely the comfort all of the beggars have now come to know The face of forever burning on our hearts Burning on our hearts Alone, alone, alone Terror alone won't make you believe and see the beauty Shutting your eyes to darken won’t help it, eventually we’ll see Steady your legs and brace yourself because there's nowhere to run Ready or not, we all will now see that we’re heading for the sun Embracing forever Surely the comfort all of the beggars have now come to know The face of forever burning on our hearts Burning on our hearts

I know I've shocked and stunned the heavens I fear betrayal lives and flows in my blood I can't kill the curse or claim the blessing Living in death and shame How many songs of my betrayal Will I have sung before it's fatal? Though all my words are weak and tired Your love still blossoms like a fire My betrayal Is it fatal? Weak and tired Feel the fire I know I cannot reach the heavens Wearing a harlot's heart, cursing Your name But You take the curse, gave me a blessing Bearing my death and shame I feel it burning like a fire A love that will not let me go I feel it burning like a fire A love that won't let me go How many songs of my betrayal Will I have sung before it's fatal? Though all my words are weak and tired Your love still blossoms like a fire A love that reaches from the heavens To wretched, rebel hearts lost and alone You took my curse, gave me a blessing Giving me hope in death
