This Means War Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Hide my face again, harbor in the shadows
Feel this weight of sin hammering away
Die! With the guilt of a thousand AWOL soldiers
Die! Watch the scythe usher me astray
[Pre-Chorus]
I can't go on this way
Not as I am today
The ugly side of me is strong
Take aim, a loaded gun
Pull back on all who run
A coward's truth inside the wrong
[Chorus]
This means war
This means war
This means war
[Verse 2]
Lash your tongue of bane, carry me to nowhere
Mental holocaust, battle never ends
Lie! Mask the pain of a child who's forsaken
Lie! To myself, praise the new regime
[Pre-Chorus]
I left me long ago
Reasons you'll never know
No one to miss me when I'm gone
With no more words to say
No argument to stay
Another post I don't belong
[Chorus]
This means war
This means war
This means war
This means war
This means war
[Guitar Solo]
[Bridge]
No home to call my own
No finding someone new
No one to break the fall
No one to see me through
No name to carry on
No promise for today
No one to hear the call
No tattered flag to raise
[Verse 3]
Walk the razor's edge, cut into the madness
Question all you trust, buy into the fear
I! See the man ripping at my soul now
I! I know the man, I know him all too well
[Pre-Chorus]
There's nothin' here for free
Lost who I wanna be
My serpent blood can strike so cold
On any given day
I'll take it all away
Another thought I can't control
[Chorus]
This means war
This means war
This means war
This means war
This means war
Heretic Lyrics
[Verse 1]
As they search for blood
All eyes descend on one
Honest man in chains
But that don't matter anyway
My judgment day
[Chorus]
My flesh will feed the demon
No trial, no case for reason
I've been chosen to pay with my life
Mad men define what mad is
Turning witches and saints to ashes
Rising masses marching to find
Heretic blood
[Verse 2]
Impose your will on me
Until fire sets me free
The flames of hell burn bright
My fate decided by their lies
Final demise
[Chorus]
My flesh will feed the demon
No trial, no case for reason
I've been chosen to pay with my life
Mad men define what mad is
Turning witches and saints to ashes
Rising masses marching to find
Heretic, heretic blood
[Bridge]
Please don't leave me
Please don't leave me, like this
I've walked a fragile line
And I've fallen down
Please don't leave me
[Chorus]
My flesh will feed the demon
No trial, no case for reason
I've been chosen to pay with my life
Mad men define what mad is
Turning witches and saints to ashes
Rising masses marching to find
Heretic, heretic blood
Coming Home Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I've been away, searching for a reason
Another purpose to find
I've sailed the seas, fought my many demons
I've looked to gods in the skies
I've stood in hell, where many had to suffer
I stared the devil in the eyes
Walked many roads to witness ancient idols
And found the great gates of fire
[Verse 2]
Had many storms, question my conviction
Gave armies reason to rise
The hangman's searching, for bones he can borrow
While I escaped in the night, fight or flight
[Chorus]
Live again, all roads end
I'll be coming home
Tend your light, 'cause on this night
I'll be coming home
[Verse 3]
Escaped the hail of calculated mortars
Then drank the blood of a king
The desert rain has washed away direction
Had angels looking after me
So it seems
[Chorus]
Live again, all roads end
I'll be coming home
Tend your light, 'cause on this night
I'll be coming home
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 4]
My story ends, not far from where it started
My weary limbs have grown old
I've seen the world through the eyes of a nomad
Home is where the heart is I've been told
So I go
[Chorus]
Live again, all roads end
I'll be coming home
Tend your light, 'cause on this night
I'll be coming home
[Outro]
I'm coming home
I'm coming home
I'm coming home
I'm coming home
