Despair
Forced to live a life in ruin
Drowning
Swept away by cruel diillusion
Walked upon by those
Who profit from your endless suffering
Betrayed
The left hand gives while the right is smothering
You are enough
More than you could ever dream of
To those that own us
Who preach to know your worth
But one look in the mirror
Face facts and know you're worthless
Broken
Hold you down with vile oppression
Voiceless
Kept in place by bitter recession
Blinded once more by force
Consumed en mass the lies they feed us
Blackened
Twisted views of the self-righteous
You are enough
More than you could ever dream of
Time served in blood
Hunt the wolves that hide among us
To those that own us
Who preach to know your worth
But look in the mirror
Face facts and know you're worthless
To those that own us
Who preach to know your worth
But look in the mirror
Face facts and know you're worthless
Despair
Drowning
Walked on
Betrayed
Broken
Voiceless
Blinded
Blackened
Despair
Drowning
Walked on
Betrayed
Broken
Voiceless
Blinded
Blackened
To those that own us
Who preach to know your worth
But look in the mirror
Face facts and know you're worthless
To those that own us
Who preach to know your worth
But look in the mirror
Face facts and know you're worthless
To those that own us
To those that own us
To those that own us
We know you're worthless

Virtue for one and vengeance for another
Rejection of gods, of all sisters and brothers
It's never been woe is me it's always been woe is us
The lies are now gospel and truth ground to dust
Burning more bridges to just see the light
Burning more bridges to just see the light
Forever the villain to those in the right
Burning more bridges to just see the light
It always seems never must come from forever
Sick to death of all this change for no better
Can't turn a cheek once the head has been severed
They've decieved you before, you choose not to remember
Burning more bridges to just see the light
Burning more bridges to just see the light
Torn from their beds and dragged in to the night
Burning more bridges to just see the light
This was always going to end in war
Burn what's come before you, a bond in blood forced to ignore
This was always going to end in war
Chose a false alegeince, a bitter breath on which you swore

In an ocean of grief
Barely afloat, search for swells of peace
Still searching for rescue
But the tides are sent to test you
Time will come and drag you under
Our past sorrows won't define us
Blame yourself but nothing changes
Now with lungs wrung clean
Of a misery cruel and unseen
See daylight through ash
But that too will soon pass
The crushing bitter depths
Will own your last breath
Time will come and drag you under
Our past sorrows won't define us
Blame yourself but nothing changes
Heavy dies the crown
In glory we drown
The crushing bitter depths
Will own your last breath
The crushing bitter depths
Will own your last breath
The time will come and drag you under
Our past sorrows won't define us
Blame yourself but nothing changes

Hypocritical Mass

It's no surprise its come to this
A bond of blood reduced to piss
A broken record of third-rate hits
Keep on selling the same old myths,
Betraying all those memories
Turn even family to enemies
On the soap box once again
Still believing all the lies you spin
If the Deville could see what you have done,
Lay false worship on someone
You chose to resent til their last breath
But you can't take back death
Save your breath til it means shit
A thousand times I've heard you spit
The same old tired and tested clichés,
And falsely claim you've changed your ways
One more round in to the breech
A horse so high the gods can't reach
You take but you will never give
So just keep on rewriting the narrative
If the Deville could see what you have done,
Lay false worship on someone
You chose to resent til their last breath
But you can't take back death
If the deville could see what you have done
If the deville could see what you have done
Father, ghost, unholy scum
Can't turn back
Can't turn back death

Chapter And Hearse
06:42

A deception well rehearsed
Preach of the Noose to save those who are cursed
A covered torment well versed
A liar at best a hypocrite at worst
Can't save you if I cant save myself first
A generation broken
A chosen death still remains unspoken
It's over before we even begin
In the end only the hearses win
Life's final struggle is to live
Can't heed your own words, despite the hope you try to give.
When the weight of the world is massive
But I wish I knew all the answers
And if any of us matters
A generation broken
A chosen death still remains unspoken
It's over before we even begin
In the end only the hearses win
Becoming stronger
Swap rope for a lifeline I must hold on to
Keep the promise that I'm doing better
With tomorrow comes better weather
I've died a thousand times inside
And a thousand times I've won the war in my own mind
Convinced again it's worth it to do this one more time
In the end
Only the hearses win
Only the fucking hearses win
No matter how hard it gets
Remember
Only the hearses win
Only the fucking hearses win
Only the fucking hearses win
No matter how hard it gets
Remember
Only the hearses win

Terminally Cursed
07:03

Another day Another death
Convinced yourself of another breath
Cursed to suffer an endless cycle
Bound and chained as griefs disciple
Slowly start to realise we live our lives
Terminally cursed
Forever rock bottom
All hope forgotten when you're
Terminally cursed
They'll drag the waters for sons and daughters who're born
Terminally cursed
Slip once more in to damnation
Misery stoked by isolation
Those we love condemned to memories
Those left become their own worst enemies
Forever forsaken
Every one of your dreams
Is tainted by the
Constant torture you feed
I've forgiven, it's forgotten
On every chance you've walked on
Left stranded
Taken for granted
It's never
It's never getting better

As Cold As Blood
07:54

With hammer in hand
In dim lit doorways we stand
A pair of spectres sell death
With words cold and remorseless
To pervert and sever
Thin veins of justice cut forever
As more graves the families dig
Bring the head of the only good pig
Tears met by your silence
You switch between apathy and violence
Corruption deep as the system cracks
As those in power cover their tracks
Treat with contenpt
By those sworn to protect
As guilt washes with the flood
They stand with eyes As Cold As Blood
No one's gonna fucking save you
No one's gonna fucking save you
We live
We grieve
No one's gonna fucking save you
Our
Pain
Drives
Us
