Hardwired Lyrics
[Verse 1]
In the name of desperation
In the name of wretched pain
In the name of all creation, gone insane
[Chorus]
We're so fucked, shit outta luck
Hardwired to self-destruct
Go
[Verse 2]
On the way to paranoia
On the crooked borderline
On the way to the great destroyer, doomed design
[Chorus]
We're so fucked, shit outta luck
Hardwired to self-destruct
Oh
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
Once upon a planet burning, once upon a flame
Once upon a fear returning all in vain
Do you feel that hope is fading? Do you comprehend?
Do you feel it terminating in the end?
[Chorus]
We're so fucked, shit outta luck
Hardwired to self-destruct
Hardwired to self-destruct
Self-destruct
Self-destruct
Self-destruct
Atlas, Rise! Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Bitterness and burden
Curses thrust on thee
Solitaire and sorrow
All eternity
Save the Earth and claim perfection
Deem the masses, blame rejection
Hold the pose, feign perception
Grudges break your back
[Pre-Chorus]
All you bear
All you carry
All you bear
Place it right on
Right on me
[Chorus]
Die as you suffer in vain
Own all the grief and the pain
Die as you hold up the skies
Atlas, rise
How does it feel on your own?
Bound by the world all alone
Crushed under heavy skies
Atlas, rise
[Verse 2]
Crucify and witness
Circling the sun
Bastardized in ruin
What have you become?
Blame the world and blame your maker
Wish 'em to the undertaker
Crown yourself the other savior
So you carry on
[Pre-Chorus]
All you bear
All you carry
All you bear
Place it right on
Right on me
[Chorus]
Die as you suffer in vain
Own all the grief and the pain
Die as you hold up the skies
Atlas, rise
How does it feel on your own?
Bound by the world all alone
Crushed under heavy skies
Crushed under heavy skies
Atlas, rise
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
Masquerade as maker
Heavy is the crown
Beaten down and broken
Drama wears you down
Overload, the martyr stumbles
Hit the ground and Heaven crumbles
All alone thy fears shall humble
Swallow all your pride
[Pre-Chorus]
All you bear
All you carry
All you bear
Place it right on
Right on me
[Chorus]
Die as you suffer in vain
Own all the grief and the pain
Die as you hold up the skies
Atlas, rise
How does it feel on your own?
Bound by the world all alone
Crushed under heavy skies
Crushed under heavy skies
Atlas, rise
Now That We’re Dead Lyrics
[Verse 1]
When darkness falls, may it be
That we should see the light
When reaper calls, may it be
That we walk straight and right
When doubt returns, may it be
That faith shall permeate our scars
When we’re seduced, then may it be
That we not deviate our cause
[Pre-Chorus]
All sinners, a future
All saints, a past
Beginning, the ending
Return to ash
[Chorus]
Now that we're dead, my dear
We can be together
Now that we're dead, my dear
We can live forever
[Verse 2]
When all is pain, may it be
It’s all we’ve ever known
When flame consumes, may it be
It warms our dying bones
When loss has won, may it be
It’s you I’m madly fighting for
When kingdom comes, may it be
We walk right through that open door
[Pre-Chorus]
All sinners, a future
All saints, a past
Beginning, the ending
Return to ash
[Chorus]
Now that we're dead, my dear
We can be together
Now that we're dead, my dear
We can live forever
[Instrumental Break]
[Guitar Solo]
[Pre-Chorus]
All sinners, a future
All saints, a past
Beginning, the ending
Return to ash
[Chorus]
Now that we're dead, my dear
We can be together
Now that we're dead, my dear
We can live, we can live forever
[Outro]
Return to ashes, shed this skin
Beyond the black, we rise again
We shall live forever
Moth Into Flame Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Blacked out, pop queen, amphetamine
The screams crashed into silence
Tapped out, doused in the gasoline
The high times going timeless
Decadence, death of the innocence
The pathway starts to spiral
Infamy, all for publicity
Destruction going viral
[Pre-Chorus]
Light it up, ah, light it up
Another hit erases all the pain
Bulletproof, ah, kill the truth
You're falling, but you think you're flying high
High again
[Chorus]
Sold your soul
Built a higher wall
Yesterday
Now you're thrown away
Same rise and fall
Who cares at all?
Seduced by fame
A moth into the flame
[Verse 2]
Twisted, backstabbing wicked
The delusion absolution
Perjurer, fame is the murderer
Seduce you into ruin
[Pre-Chorus]
Light it up, ah, light it up
Another hit erases all the pain
Bulletproof, ah, tell the truth
You're falling, but you think you're flying high
High again
[Chorus]
Sold your soul
Built a higher wall
Yesterday
Now you're thrown away
Same rise and fall
Who cares at all?
Seduced by fame
A moth into the flame
Burn
[Instrumental Break]
[Bridge]
Guarantee your name, you go and kill yourself
The vultures feast around you still
Overdose on shame and insecurity
If one won't do that fistful will
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
Death scene, black hearse the limousine
A grave filled with seduction
Vaccine, fame does the murdering
She builds up for destruction
[Pre-Chorus]
So light it up, ah, light it up
Another hit erases all the pain
Bulletproof, oh, no excuse
You're falling, but you think you're flying high
High again
[Chorus]
Sold your soul
Built a higher wall
Yesterday
Now you're thrown away
Same rise and fall
Who cares at all?
Seduced by fame
A moth into the flame
[Outro]
Addicted to the fame
Dream No More Lyrics
[Verse 1]
He sleeps under black seas waiting
Lies dreaming in death
He sleeps under cosmos shaking
Stars granting his breath
[Verse 2]
He wakes as the world dies screaming
All horrors arrive
He wakes giving Earth its bleeding
Pure madness alive
[Pre-Chorus]
And He haunts you
And He binds your soul
And He loathes you
And reclaims it all
[Chorus]
You turn to stone
Can't look away
You turn to stone
Madness, they say
[Post-Chorus]
Cthulhu, awaken
[Verse 3]
He sways in abyss returning
Inhaling black skies
He shakes with a torture burning
All lost in his eyes
[Pre-Chorus]
And He haunts you
And He binds your soul
And He loathes you
And reclaims it all
[Chorus]
You turn to stone
Can't look away
You turn to stone
Madness, they say
[Post-Chorus]
Cthulhu, awaken
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
You turn to stone
Can't look away
You turn to stone
Madness, they say
[Bridge]
Sanity taken
Seething damnation
Cthulhu awaken
(Wake) Winged Salvation
Death by creation
Cthulhu, awaken
(Wake) Dreaming no more
[Outro]
Cthulhu, awaken
(Wake) Dreaming no more
Cthulhu, awaken
(Wake) Dreaming no more
Halo on Fire Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Obey, obey
Come won't you stay
Sincere, sincere
All ends in tears
Endure, endure
Thoughts most impure
Concede, concede
But both shall we bleed
[Chorus]
Oh, Halo on fire
The midnight knows it well
Fast, is desire
Creates another hell
I fear to turn on the light
For the darkness won't go away
Fast, is desire
Turn out the light
Halo on fire
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 2]
Allure, allure
Sweetness obscure
Abide, abide
Secrets inside
Deprive, deprive
To feel so alive
Obey, obey
Just don't turn away
[Chorus]
Oh, Halo on fire
The midnight knows it well
Fast, is desire
Creates another hell
I fear to turn on the light
For the darkness won't go away
Fast, is desire
Turn out the light
Halo on fire
[Bridge]
Prayers cannot get through
Return to sender
Unto which of you
Shall I surrender
Twisting in disguise
Dark resurrection
Lighting up the skies
Wicked perfection
[Bridge]
Too dark to sleep
Can't slip away
Open or close
My eyes betray
Beyond the black
Come won't you stay
[Instrumental Break]
[Guitar Solo]
[Outro]
Hello darkness, say goodbye
Hello darkness, say goodbye
Hello darkness, say goodbye
[Guitar Solo]
