Who Can We Trust 04:43
lyrics
Now the sun won't find you So tell me what we should do Now the sun won't find you So tell me what we should do Oh Lord How can you be so alone When you're atop your goddamn throne How can you be so alone When you're atop your goddamn throne You are the Only one that Holds the one true key Go find the door That holds All our heart You are the Only one that Holds the one true key Go find the door That holds All our heart Who can we trust? When our lives are filled with lust Who can we trust? When our lives are filled with lust Who can we trust? Read out the words Our lives are gone Read out Who can we trust? Read out the words Our lives are gone Read out Oh lord take me back to how it used to be Nothing I hear is close to sincerity Everything I see, so far from true So tell me lord Why should I believe in you Take me back home Back to the floor Oh lord, oh lord Take me back, take me back home Take me back Oh lord won't take me back to how it used to be Nothing I hear even close to sincerity Everything I see, is so far from true So tell me lord Why should I even believe in you Oh lord won't take me back to how it used to be Nothing I hear even close to sincerity Oh lord won't you Take me back home Oh lord take me back to how it used to be Nothing I hear is close to sincerity Everything I see, is so far from true So tell me lord Why should I believe in you

Entity 03:51
lyrics
You will be The only thing that I see Through my two only eyes Take my hand And close your eyes We'll sleep through This beating heart that was made for you It was made for you Take my hand And close your eyes Let go And this is my chance to say It isn't long until the end So live like it's your final day Make most of the time that we will spend Hush darling don't you say a word We'll fly right up there with the birds If every cloud was a hint of love I would have blankets cover above And this is my chance to say It isn't long until the end So live like it's your final day Make most of the time that we will spend Just take my hand This love won't fade Just stay with me This love won't fade away You will be The only thing that I see Through my two only eyes Take my hand And close your eyes We'll sleep through This beating heart that was made for you It was made for you Take my hand And close your eyes Take my hand And we'll sleep through This heart I hold was made for you Take my hand and we'll sleep through this beating heart Was made for You will be The only thing that I see Through my two only eyes Take my hand And close your eyes We'll sleep through

This World Has Run Dry 02:49
lyrics
Is this the end now The end of it all Is the end where we will all fall this the place where we're set free This the place we breathe Hate will ensue For the life of this Art This love I can't feel Is this even real This world has run dry This world has dry of the faith that has built it Lie after lie we'll be forced to destroy it This world has dry of the faith that has built it Lie after lie we'll be forced to destroy it I am your god you'll bow down to me I am the one that can set you all free Build

Pit of Tartaros 03:51
lyrics
Erase I tried to erase all of these scars but they just won't fade away I pray to God don't make me stay I tried to make myself believe But I'll still die in my fucking sleep and if I have to live a lie I'l do it without you by my side No one will ever believe I am the son of sincerity You had to make me stay Now tell me how to get away You, why's you make me stay How do I get away No one will ever believe on this disease Called faith I'll see you on the top of the fucking gates No one will believe lies from the son of sincerity No one will believe you were the one that made me stay Why did you fly away Why can't I fly away eergghyo I'll look to the sky I wish it was mine Now the truth is cast aside We'll make it out Just Don't make a sound I try to take on more fucking breath But I think Im one step Closer to death Just take your hypocritical ways I'll wipe smile right off your face You get the fuck away Please don't make me stay You get the fuck away Please don't make me stay Now stare and stop Get the hell away

Tides Of War 03:37
lyrics
I see these soldiers marching in I see them scream and shout Is this what this war is about Just marching in and marching out So go ahead and tell them You won't make a single sound I'll tell that to your captain When your body can't be found I'll tell that to your captain When you're dead in top of a mountain I see them screaming, shouting Back to the floor they call a home Go Watching, waiting, for you To stop bleeding Watching, praying, for you To stop bleeding out So now When our only tides are turning in This is a battlefield The only only war that we cannot win Take a shot of scotch And pull that trigger one last inch I hope your trigger finger doesn't like to fucking twitch Time can't break us It can onlyy dream to take us apart I've always known this was only for a commercial art So now when our only tides are turning in I see these soldiers they're marching in and out I see them scream and shout Is this what this war is about Going in, marching out This is no paradise This is no throne This is no paradise It's not our home So now When our only tides are turning in This is a battlefield The only only war that we cannot win Take a shot of scotch And pull that trigger one last inch I hope your trigger finger doesn't like to fucking twitch Time can't break us It can only dream to take us apart I hope you know this was only for a commercial art So now when our only tides are turning in These tides are turning in This is no paradise, this is no home This is no paradise, it's not a throne This is no paradise, this is no home This is no paradise, it's not a throne

Ashes 03:38
lyrics
I hear this Voice Not from my head Is he really dead There are conditions It's true There were precautions Made sure they were under you There are conditions It's true There were precautions Made sure they were under you The sgnals lost go get it again Go listen to what's on the air Your words just try to get back to me Go to the DC or even the wheel To the holders of the satcom arrays Ten pennies will help you out Broken bridges scream and shout Go to the DC or even the wheel To the holders of the satcome arrays Ten pennies will help you out Broken bridges scream and shout Go to the highest point of the mountaintop you're in raven rock The Queen has died on days like this We are all the brits We are all the brits you will be missed you will be missed you will be missed you will be missed You say this has no relevance Well look at the evidence Fallout fall in get the fuck outta way you have no say no say go ahead and shut our mouths we never spoke a word There are conditions It's true There were precautions Made sure they were under you The sgnals lost go get it again Go listen to what's on the air I can't believe that they actually did it Not long left they were forewarned But they just kept pushing the boundaries They just kept pushing the boundaries I'm not going to wait for my own death I have a pistol in the attic Find out for yourself when this happens for you will be a part of it
