Hallow's Eve 07:29
These calloused hearts contain Enough malice to change everything As the air grows cold The hush falls quiet and still Embers light deep below Hearts beat from beneath the hills Burn Through the soil As they turn On Hallow's Eve At the altar In the fiery light They plunged us into endless night And to the curse We were all bound Souls tarnished Scraping their way out of the round Corrupted by unholy flames Until only madness remains This cursed ritual Enacted on the haunted hour Summon the burning souls Drawing upon unearthly power Burn Through the soil As they turn On Hallow's Eve At the altar In the fiery light They plunged us into endless night And to the curse We were all bound Souls tarnished Scraping their way out of the ground At the altar In the fiery light They plunged us into endless night And to the curse We were all bound Souls tarnished Scraping their way out of the ground

Life outside Has slowly come to die The horde has taken over everything in sight And we fight But slowly we all die We've been beaten back inside of the endless night We can't live like this anymore We've been forced to barricade our doors We can't live like this anymore In a world constantly at war It's this curse That caused all of our hurt Our world disfigured by the hell that we unearthed As life blurs Underneath all of this hurt There's a sickness growing and it's only getting worse We can't live like this anymore We've been forced to barricade our doors We can't live like this anymore In a world constantly at war We can't live like this anymore We've been forced to barricade our doors We can't live like this anymore In a world constantly at war We can't live like this anymore We can't live like this

My hands are shaking I've been faking I've looked into those eyes And seen there's nothing there Just an infection Hiding behind a blank stare Every time this hunger takes over somebody else This world takes one more step further down into hell How many more souls Will we have left to die And how can anybody know What happens next On the other side (On the other side) Tell me what it means To die (Die) When these hollow bodies walk alive And my hands won't stop shaking (My hands are shaking) I've been faking all this time (I've been faking) And I can't take it How much more of this Do I have to take in stride I can't keep on pretending Everything is fine inside I don't have the strength There's nothing here for me I can't look at Another hollow body How many more souls Will we have left to die And how can anybody know What happens next On the other side (On the other side) Tell me what it means To die (Die) When these hollow bodies walk alive And my hands won't stop shaking (My hands are shaking) I've been faking all this time (I've been faking) And I can't take it My hands are shaking I've been faking No more hollow bodies We have been left to die Undone by our design We've been at this for so long There's not a hope in sight How can we undo The curse they placed us into We are all that's left And we've been left to die What happens next On the other side (On the other side) Tell me what it means To die (Die) When these hollow bodies walk alive And my hands won't stop shaking (My hands are shaking) I've been faking all this time (I've been faking) And I can't take it

Frozen World 03:51
I can't keep hiding from the sunlight I need a new life for myself I've spent my last years in this fight or flight My hearts gone underground I can't tell If there's anyone else Around In this hell Sleepwalking through the streets These burning entities Force me into this frozen world No matter how we try We can't go back in time And I don't Know where to go tonight I think we might be doomed this time I can't tell If there's anyone else Around In this hell They say there's hope beneath the surface But I've given up on hope These icy fingers choke the best of us I think I'm falling to the cold No matter how we try We can't go back in time And I don't Know where to go tonight I think we might be doomed this time I think we might be doomed this time I think we might be doomed this time

There's a tendency to blindside Life comes at you from all sides We get caught up in the little things Until we find we're out of time And there's no time left anymore All the times I tried To let you inside Every time you fell apart Adding to our list of scars I don't understand How the fall began When everything was going perfectly According to our greatest plans And there's no planning anymore All the times I tried To let you inside Every time you fell apart Adding to our list of scars We wasted our time Crossing over each others lines And I'm not sure If there's anybody out there anymore Is there anybody left Is there anybody left Or is it just me in this head Now what can I do Am I already doomed This life wasn't meant to be lived in solitude All the times I tried To let you inside Every time you fell apart Adding to our list of scars We wasted our time Crossing over each others lines And I'm not sure If there's anybody out there anymore

Prayer 03:58
"Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom and the power, and the glory, forever and ever. Amen." When all that's left is to pray We find ourselves on our knees Begging For anything All along We turned our backs And now we're begging for a second chance All we have left Is the breath of a prayer Hoping there is still Someone above who cares All we have left Is the breath of a prayer Hoping there is still Someone above who cares All we have left Is the breath of a prayer All we have left Is the breath of a prayer

Our bodies on the precipice Of being altered by the elements Forms begin taking shape Getting molded by unearthly hands As we all become Engorged by this parasite Seeping into our lungs We become one with the cursed blight It's overtaking me It's overtaking me It's overtaking me And now we have become one Screaming As the soul is undone As the soul is undone We become one And as I slowly unlace My disjointed fingers from the effigy you placed Before me I take in my surroundings Through these reborn eyes And I can't separate the truth apart from the disguise My mindless feet propel me as I'm walking blind And I feel the deepest burn Running through my veins And I feel the ancient curse Overtaking me It's overtaking me It's overtaking me It's overtaking me And now we have become one Screaming As the soul is undone As the soul is undone We become one It's overtaking me It's overtaking me It's overtaking me It's overtaking me It's overtaking me And now we have become one Screaming As the soul is undone

Tonight these cities burn Our concrete pillars crumble One hundred thousand feet Begin to stomp and rumble Our hands fall upon the steel Contorted and destructive There's nothing here but hate Our hollowed throats erupting These walls will fall We will take all Through these empty eyes I'm walking blind And you know I might not be alright Not alright anymore These embers in our hearts Propel our mindless crusade Beneath the sun we feed Spreading this accursed plague This parasitic life They forced into me As our minds unite Rewriting destiny These walls will fall We will take all Through these empty eyes I'm walking blind And you know I might not be alright Not alright anymore My distorted heart recalls The painful journey through the soil My flesh is cold and torn But the embers keep this hatred warm Through these empty eyes I'm walking blind And you know I might not be alright Not alright anymore Not alright anymore Not alright anymore

Cornered 02:23
The scourge of the undead This frozen land in which you hide My fingers fall apart Our limbs will snap and break Only our burning core Left on the ground to remain You hide deep amongst the trees What's left of your concrete cities In search of the underground The frozen handcuffs you made It's safe At what cost Going mad as all is lost You've chained yourselves to a death sentence As the curse falls upon your door Cornered Cornered Cornered Cornered The consequence of your terror Backed and cowered in the corner All the scars you endured To cower in the corner Cornered Cornered Cornered Cornered

Collide 06:13
I know it might Not be real When I hear your voice Calling out for me And I might not let you in It's taking all I have again I feel like you might Collide As you aim Into the night Into the stars And how sad we are To know it's only a dream This isn't how I thought it'd be Staring at the skies While a thousand different eyes Stare back at me I don't trust us to survive I feel like you might Collide As you aim Into the night Into the stars And how sad we are To know it's only a dream Collide Cursed We collide and then burst Entangled in all of the lines that we blurred Just another lost cause Fall to the wall All that we are is incompetent gods Incompetent gods Cursed Cursed I don't trust us to survive I feel like you might Collide As you aim Into the night Into the stars And how sad we are To know it's only a dream Collide As you aim Into the night Into the stars And how sad we are To know it's only a dream It's only a dream

Can you tell me what you see when you look at me Am I more than the summation of my unholy deeds Now that the world is in the dark Can you tell me who we are What have I done To get to this place We're all so far beyond Being more than a disgrace I feel like you might be seeing more clearly Than I have been Now that the world is in the dark Can you tell me who we are Now that the world is in the dark (Now that the world is in the dark) Can you tell me who we are (Can you tell me who we are) We have lit the fires Turned their souls to ash Gone so far that we can't ever go back We burned away their eyes The ones we left to die Before we brought them back on the other side Can you tell me who we are Now that the world is in the dark We have lit the fires Turned their souls to ash Gone so far that we can't ever go back We burned away their eyes The ones we left to die Before we brought them back on the other side (Now that the world is in the dark) Can you tell me who we are (Can you tell me who we are)
