The Way of All Flesh Complete Lyrics

Yama’s Messengers Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I'm scared to death when I see them arrive

Infected eyes, red, staring at me

The time has come for retribution

Now they're counting my actions

The cries and shouts are confusing me

Falling in disgrace, I don't want to go now

And I am facing them, it seems they recognize me

It's too late for regrets

[Verse 2]

They're growing darker while approaching me, creeping

Prowling vultures in the sky

Devoured by a ravening beast, raised

Fallen from the dead

Endure the pain that they're giving me slow

Flashes of life blurred by suffering

Distant reminder of funeral piles

Thousands of people dying

[Verse 3]

I'm taking back all the pain

Distributed through ages unconscious

My brain scattered, feed habitants of this cage

Consuming my heart

[Verse 4]

I've killed so many, I don't want to count

I spent a life raping the world

Both far and near before you now I come, please help

Creator, faultless one

The Art of Dying Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Breathing slowly, mechanical heartbeat

Losing contact with the living

Almighty TV plugged, hybrid empty brain

Don't see anything real in the game

The tension is building constantly

No reason, just a reflex I have, driven by clockwork

I try to keep an eye open, and I realize

I haven't closed my eyes in a long time

[Verse 2]

Neglected emotions leading to catastrophic voyage on the other side

I have been given so much stress and lack of confidence

I've been given the gift of so small hope deep inside

I haven't closed my eyes in a long time, I am trying

[Verse 3]

I cannot stomach these forms and colors anymore

But I'm here to continue after all I have been through

I try to keep my eyes open, I am realizing

This life and death more precious than anything

[Verse 4]

I won't bring no materials in the afterlife

Take no possessions, I would rather travel light

I'm of this kind that kills all day

But I don't know yet how to die

Art of dying is the way to let all go

Within I practice in the secret of my soul

My shape in the reflector has now forever

Life on its own
