Track Lyrics
Hourglass Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Privileged, a chosen few
Blessed with our time in hell
Witness a divine vision
The day we all fell still
Rapture of the dying age
A shattered hourglass
Wrath of the warring gods
And so this, too, shall pass
[Verse 2]
It's only getting worse
Not worth a moment's regret
Each dawn, another curse
Every breath, a twisting blade
What will be left behind
In the ashes of the wake?
[Verse 3]
An ill wind blows this way
The edge of the envelope burns
Forbearance and my vengeance
Payment for your intent
Fear and death in the wings
In thrall of those fallen from grace
Petty is as petty does
Witness the mass disgrace
[Bridge]
Fear and death in the wings
In thrall of those fallen from grace
Petty is as petty does
Witness the mass disgrace
[Verse 4]
God forbid you read the signs
Watch for meanings between the lines
Gehenna has now arrived
No hindsight for the blind
Your trust has been misplaced
Believed the lies told to your face
Became another casualty
And now it's too late
[Verse 5]
You finally made it home
Draped in the flag that you fell for
And so it goes
The ashes of the wake
[Outro]
It's only getting worse
It's only getting worse
It's only getting worse
It's only getting worse
It's only getting worse
Omerta Lyrics
[Intro]
Whoever appeals to the law against his fellow man is either a fool or a coward
Whoever cannot take care of himself without that law is both
For a wounded man shall say to his assailant
"If I live, I will kill you; if I die, you are forgiven"
Such is the rule of honor
[Verse 1]
Broken the paradigm, an example must be set
Invoke the siren's song and sign the death warrant
This is what has been wrought for thirty pieces of silver
The tongues of men and angels bought by a beloved betrayer
[Chorus]
I am the result
What's better left unspoken
Violence begins to mend
What was broken
You've been talking
I've been all ears
[Verse 2]
Words meant to dwell in darkness shall never see the light of day
Words can be broken, so can bones, execute the mandate
Mouth full of dirt, your name is removed from the registry
St. Peter greets with empty eyes then turns and locks the gate
[Chorus]
I am the result
What's better left unspoken
Violence begins to mend
What was broken
You've been talking
I've been all ears
Omerta
[Bridge]
Cheaply venal, stupidly verbose
A slip of the tongue, a slit of the throat
Six feet under with no marker
Keep my name from your mouth forever
Free speech for the living, dead men tell no tales
Your laughing finger will never point again
[Outro]
Omerta
Omerta
Sing for me now
One Gun Lyrics
[Intro]
The sins of deliverance
[Verse 1]
The eyes of the patriot fixed through the scope
The unknowing tyrant walks to the rope
[Chorus]
It's when murder is justice that martyrs are made
A one-gun salute for the new Independence Day
They'll hallow your name
They'll hallow your name for your sacrifice
[Bridge]
The sins of deliverance
"So let the wicked perish
In the presence of God"
For your sacrifice
[Verse 2]
The sins of the father
Atoned by the son
Confessions of commitments broken
A nail driven for every one
[Chorus]
It's when murder is justice that martyrs are made
A one-gun salute for the new Independence Day
They'll hallow your name
They'll hallow your name for your sacrifice
[Guitar Solo]
[Bridge]
You are the cause, I am the effect
Created in hatred, a noose for your neck
[Verse 3]
The eyes of the patriot fixed through the scope
The unknowing tyrant walks to the rope
[Outro]
They'll hallow your name
For your sacrifice
They'll hallow your name
Sacrifice, sacrifice, sacrifice
They'll hallow your name
Remorse Is for the Dead Lyrics
[Verse 1]
The dirty lord of the manor
Surveys his filthy domain
Too many nights raising hell
Worked a little all too well
Constructed a monument to denial and excess
Sunk so low, crawled so far back
There's nowhere left to regress
[Verse 2]
If these walls could talk
They would tell a horror story
Never-ending winter
Violence and infidelity
Shadows fall through broken panes
Careless words that are filled with hate
Just enough to keep it together
Never enough to make it work
All the tongues here are forked
We are a hailstorm of broken glass
Follow the path of least expectance
[Pre-Chorus]
A huge stinking pile of sick
[Chorus]
Pile it higher and higher
Light the match, start the fire
Level this place until nothing's left
And take us with it
[Verse 3]
Surroundings are irate
Crack of dawn brings naught but pain
Resentment steadily grows
Laughing in the gallows
Full throttle, determined to fail
Pedal to the metal, asleep at the wheel
We are the lucky ones
Welcome home
[Chorus]
Pile it higher and higher
Light the match, start the fire
Level this place until nothing's left
And take us with it
[Bridge]
Poisoned nerves and a bloody antidote
Violence is not an aberration, it's a rule
Dying beyond the pale
Your beatings will continue until my morale improves
I don't hate you
I'm just removing an enemy
Remorse is for the dead
[Outro]
I'm just removing an enemy
Remorse is for the dead, my enemy
Remorse is for the dead
