Track Lyrics

Kirisute Gomen Lyrics

[Intro]

He who walks the fire breathes!

[Verse 1]

He who walks the fire breathes

Unlike the rest

Living by the bloody creed

Kiri-sute gomen

[Verse 2]

Air of battle tasting stale

Reeks of deceit

Send the bitter straight to hell

Kiri-sute gomen

[Pre-Chorus]

In their wretched guts, all they want is to feed

Unending, covetous hunger known as greed

As the last legion makes its way to the skies

[Chorus]

I can see in their eyes

They've already died

Inside, but as for the outside

I'll take their fucking heads

[Verse 3]

Quake has bred with the storm

Conceiving war

Wicked stampeding hordes

Kiri-sute gomen

[Pre-Chorus]

In their wretched guts, all they want is to feed

Unending, covetous hunger known as greed

As the last legion makes its way to the skies

[Chorus]

I can see in their eyes

They've already died

Inside, but as for the outside

I'll take their fucking heads

I can see in their eyes

They've already died

Inside, but as for the outside

I'll take their fucking heads

[Bridge 1]

I will never be what they

Want me to

I live by my own path in life

No turning

Back now, I won't be held down

Forced into a shallow grave

Built upon their empty ways

There's no turning back

[Bridge 2]

There's hell to pay, such disarray

A bloodied mess, flesh masquerade

With all the blood making a flood

You made your path by crossing us

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 4]

He who spits the fire seethes

All he detests

Decapitating, bloody creed

Kiri-sute gomen

[Pre-Chorus]

In their wretched guts, all they want is to feed

Unending, covetous hunger known as greed

As the last legion makes its way to the skies

[Chorus]

I can see in their eyes

They've already died

Inside, but as for the outside

I'll take their fucking heads

[Outro]

I will never be what they

Want me to

I live by my own path in life

No turning

Back now, I won't be held down

Forced into a shallow grave

Built upon their empty ways

No turning

I will never be what they

Want me to

I live by my own path in life

There's no turning back

Torn Between Scylla and Charybdis Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Within struggle, amidst horror

Inside conflict, visceral war

Make a stand here, vanquish all fear

Don't hesitate, eradicate

[Chorus]

Torn between Scylla and Charybdis

Feel the fear ripening, go taste it

Torn between Scylla and Charybdis

Feast fruits of valor, if you face it

[Verse 2]

Walls of carnage surround your weakness

Crash down like oceans, wait for the light

In total darkness, drowning in bleakness

Awaiting death's grip, cry out for life

[Refrain]

Divided by destiny

Torn between death and doom

Destruction by decision

Fate shows me my open tomb

[Verse 3]

Apprehension runs down your chin

Masticate it, suck those tears in

Life's a battle, perpetual crusade

One against all, time to wield the blade

[Chorus]

Torn between Scylla and Charybdis

Feel the fear ripening, go taste it

Torn between Scylla and Charybdis

Feast fruits of valor, if you face it

[Verse 4]

In total darkness, drowning in bleakness

Awaiting death's grip, cry out for life

[Refrain]

Divided by destiny

Torn between death and doom

Destruction by decision

Fate shows me my open tomb

A fight that tests the substance

Of all that you call your life

Destruction by decision

Fate shows me my open tomb

[Solo: Corey Beaulieu]

[Bridge]

Face down that which makes you bleed

Turn it 'round and force your seed down

Down

[Solo: Paolo Gregoletto]

[Solo: Matt Heafy]

[Bridge]

Face down that which makes you bleed

Turn it 'round and force your seed down

Down

[Solo: Paolo Gregoletto]

[Chorus]

Torn between Scylla and Charybdis

Feast fruits of valor, if you face it

[Verse 5]

Walls of carnage surround your weakness

Crash down like oceans, wait for the light

In total darkness, drowning in bleakness

Awaiting death's grip, cry out for life

[Refrain]

Divided by destiny

Torn between death and doom

Destruction by decision

Fate shows me my open tomb

A fight that tests the substance

Of all that you call your life

Destruction by decision

Fate shows me my open tomb

Down From the Sky Lyrics

[Verse 1]

A chasm grows

In the cavity of serpentine teeth (Serpentine teeth)

Hunger pangs strike

For the sweet feast of innocent blood

Of innocent bloodshed

Now here we go

[Pre-Chorus]

The vampires feed on the wars of mankind

Growing fat on the throne of an empire

Tyrant rules with the threat of a great fire

[Chorus]

I've opened up my eyes

Seen the world for what it's worth

Tears rain down from the sky

They'll blow it all to bits

To prove whose god wields all the power

Fire rains down from the sky

[Verse 2]

The gaping wounds

Hemorrhaging the blood from which they feast (Blood from which they feast)

Eat us alive

Consume to feed a hunger with no

A hunger with no end

Let's fucking go

[Pre-Chorus]

The vampires feed on the wars of mankind

Growing fat on the throne of an empire

Tyrant rules with the threat of a great fire

[Chorus]

I've opened up my eyes

Seen the world for what it's worth

Tears rain down from the sky

They'll blow it all to bits

To prove whose god wields all the power

Fire rains down from the sky

[Bridge]

This battle's not the same as they have led us to believe

A synthesis of propaganda, terror and deceit

We are the cattle; they the slaughter; our meat: gasoline

They pump us through the machine's valves to cleanse the world's "disease"

We are the ammunition that will cause all life to cease

[Refrain]

Annihilate

All those who stand in their way

Obliterate

They'll rain their holocaust down from the sky

[Pre-Chorus]

The vampires feed on the wars of mankind

Growing fat on the throne of an empire

Tyrant rules with the threat of a great fire

[Chorus]

I've opened up my eyes

Seen the world for what it's worth

Tears rain down from the sky

They'll blow it all to bits

To prove whose god wields all the power

Fire rains down from the sky

[Refrain]

Annihilate

All those who stand in their way

Obliterate

They'll rain their holocaust down from the sky

Into the Mouth of Hell We March Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Can't you see, it's not only me

That feels we're linked to the seas

Make your way to a massive grave

If you can't fight for each day

[Bridge]

Torrential rain at the helm of death

It drowns the weak, battering the rest

Black walls of waves pummel to capsize

The roaring thunder overshadows our cries

Spires of lightning thrown down from the gods

Melting skin even in the deluge

The mast is broken, hull is splitting

Dear God, the fucking ship is sinking

[Refrain]

I will try to pour all of myself into this life

Before I die

[Verse 2]

Such turmoil, let's make the blood boil

Make your time count or rot as the soil

Life is hard, a fucking battle

The time is now and here's your drum roll

[Bridge]

Torrential rain at the helm of death

It drowns the weak, battering the rest

Black walls of waves pummel to capsize

The roaring thunder overshadows our cries

Spires of lightning thrown down from the gods

Melting skin even in the deluge

The mast is broken, hull is splitting

Dear god the fucking ship is sinking

[Refrain]

I will try to pour all of myself into this life

Before I die

If I go before my time

Then take these words evermore into your life

[Breakdown]

We crawl out from the wreckage

Fingers dig into the sands

Of the shores

Everything we worked for

Is ripped apart and ruined, drowned

Deep beneath our dying world

The earth begins to open up

[Chorus]

Into the mouth of hell, we march

(Into the mouth of hell)

Into the mouth of hell, we march

(Into the mouth of hell)

Into the mouth of hell, we march

March!

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]

Now you see, for it is we

Who walk the fire and breathe

Make our way out of the grave

And lick the blood from our blades

[Bridge]

Spires of lightning thrown down from the gods

Melting skin even in the deluge

The mast is broken, hull is splitting

Dear God, the fucking ship is sinking

[Refrain]

I will try to pour all of myself into this life

Before I die

If I go before my time

Then take these words evermore into your life

Throes of Perdition Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Blindfolded and gagged, stood waiting

With the whole world: my firing squad

At the edge of the world, I'm faced out

Staring the sun right in the eye

[Verse 2]

Vultures circle above, hyenas mocking the kill

Excrement drooling down their chins

Atop the cliffs, I look down, into the starving hell-mouth

The rabid foam crashes hard on its teeth

[Pre-Chorus]

Their mouths salivate

Fantasizing my gruesome ending

This world looks down upon

A man who can stand on his own two feet

[Verse 3]

As they're feeding their guns, "Ready, aim"

They say I'll live if I die for their cause

Living under the rule of fellow Cro-Magnon fool

They fear who leads and will kill to stay still

[Pre-Chorus]

Their mouths salivate

Fantasizing my gruesome ending

This world looks down upon

A man who can stand on his own two feet

Without eating from their claws

[Chorus]

Life feels like hell should

But this hell's so cold

Pull another knife out

Stick it with the rest of them

When my back is full

Turn me around to face it

Life feels like hell should

But this hell's so cold

Pull another knife out

Stick it with the rest of them

When my back is full

Turn me around to face it

[Post-Chorus]

Such melancholy, burning the stars from skies

As we melt, drowning inside their bloodied eyes

Hope is ravaged, running from lacerations

Sob so heavily, we choke, then we die

[Bridge]

Die

[Solo: Corey Beaulieu]

[Solo: Matt Heafy]

[Bridge]

Die

[Chorus]

Life feels like hell should

But this hell's so cold

Pull another knife out

Stick it with the rest of them

When my back is full

Turn me around to face it

Life feels like hell should

But this hell's so cold

Pull another knife out

Stick it with the rest of them

When my back is full

Turn me around to face it

Life feels like hell should

But this hell's so cold

Pull another knife out

Stick it with the rest of them

When my back is full

Turn me around to face it

Life feels like hell should

But this hell's so cold

Pull another knife out

Stick it with the rest of them

When my back is full

Turn me around to face it

[Outro]

Sob so heavily, we choke, then we die

Insurrection Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Bow not before his creation

These mortals: "man"

This act of insult

Breeds our discontent

He turned his back

On our loyalty

I will bring my insurrection

And a war upon heaven

[Pre-Chorus]

I will bring my insurrection

And a war upon heaven

Hellfire be my destruction

For this war upon heaven

[Chorus]

Forged from fire

I declare this war

A war against Heaven

I bring upon my scourge

Filled with hubris

A declaration of war

[Verse 2]

It is I who spawns this fury

Torches: ignite

Blaze is set to engulf all of which we hate

Storm in, eviscerate

Every motherfucker in our way

I will bring my insurrection

And a war upon heaven

[Pre-Chorus]

I will bring my insurrection

And a war upon heaven

Hellfire be my destruction

For this war upon heaven

[Chorus]

Forged from fire

I declare this war

A war against Heaven

I bring upon my scourge

Filled with hubris

A declaration of war

[Bridge]

Ascend to the heavens

To destroy them all

Ascend to the heavens

To destroy them all

Ascend to the heavens

To destroy them all

[Solo: Corey Beaulieu]

[Solo: Matt Heafy]

[Chorus]

Forged from fire

I declare this war

A war against Heaven

I bring upon my scourge

Filled with hubris

A declaration of war

Forged from fire

I declare this war

A war against Heaven

I bring upon my scourge

Filled with hubris

A declaration of war

The Calamity Lyrics

[Verse 1]

You cannot be, you're the mistake: calamity

Sent to destroy all of the good

On this Earth, killing me

You're killing me

The mother of ruination comes to fuck all

Mutilating everything, spread wide open

Beckoning

Beckoning me

[Pre-Chorus]

Spiral faster down

Ripping a hole through the air we breathe

An apocalypse

Encased in a shell, so beautiful

[Chorus]

The calamity makes its way to the inside

I know we are feeling the same thing

The calamity makes its way to the inside

To eat away at our existence

[Verse 2]

Spewed from the wound of this life's worst cavity

The nightmare spreads its cancerous lamentations

Poisoning

Force-feed the plague

Drunk from the milk of death's overflowing, sick tit

Nourishing the misery, gives birth to the ugliness

That grows inside

[Pre-Chorus]

Spiral faster down

Ripping a hole through the air we breathe

An apocalypse

Encased in a shell, so beautiful

[Chorus]

The calamity makes its way to the inside

I know we are feeling the same thing

The calamity makes its way to the inside

To eat away at our existence

[Bridge]

Isolate

The heart from the brain

Permeate

Inject us with pain

Holding our breath now

We're screaming without sound

We're trembling as everything falls completely apart

Meteor crash down

Come crater our woe out

The banishment of everything once alive will start now

[Solo]

[Verse 3]

Holding our breath now

We're screaming without sound

The banishment of everything once alive will start now

You came to be, you're the mistake: calamity

Here to destroy all of the good on this Earth

Killing all

Killing us all

[Pre-Chorus]

Spiral faster down

Ripping a hole through the air we breathe

An apocalypse

Encased in a shell, so beautiful

[Chorus]

The calamity makes its way to the inside

I know we are feeling the same thing

The calamity makes its way to the inside

To eat away at our existence

He Who Spawned the Furies Lyrics

[Verse 1]

The afterbirth has barely dried

When the king of ruling time

Comes with a sickle in his hand

To devour

[Pre-Chorus]

Devour

Descendant of chaos

Devour

Castrated the father

Devour

Fearing his overthrow

Devour

Swallowed his children whole

[Chorus]

Take your teeth out of me

I have just begun to breathe on my own

I don't know what this is

These eyes can hardly see what is eating me

[Verse 2]

The prisoners rotting in their cells

Children of this godless hell

Digesting in acidic blood

The devoured

[Pre-Chorus]

Devour

Descendant of chaos

Devour

Castrated the father

Devour

Fearing his overthrow

Devour

Swallowed his children whole

[Chorus]

Take your teeth out of me

I have just begun to breathe on my own

I don't know what this is

These eyes can hardly see what is eating me

Take your teeth out of me

I have just begun to breathe on my own

I don't know what this is

These eyes can hardly see what is eating me

[Breakdown]

He who spawned the furies

Severed the genitals of his father

Creating such beauty, the goddess of love

But the blood that fell to the ground made the Erinyes

He who spawned the furies

Wreathed with serpents

Eyes dripping blood

Winged tormentors of criminals

Criminals

[Chorus]

Take your teeth out of me

I have just begun to breathe on my own

I don't know what this is

These eyes can hardly see what is eating me

Take your teeth out of me

I have just begun to breathe on my own

I don't know what this is

These eyes can hardly see what is eating me

Like Callisto to a Star in Heaven Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Taken forcefully

A thing which never can be

Erased by time

Since he made you bleed, so violently

Painful is the kick

Inside it makes you so sick

The blood that drips down your thigh

Tarnishes virtue; lies

[Pre-Chorus]

Wearing a mask familiar

A god forced himself on you

Raping and impregnating

Causing the exile of your life

Wearing a mask familiar

A god forced himself on you

Raping and impregnating

Causing the exile of your life

Changed like Callisto to a star in heaven

[Chorus]

Hate not the flesh that makes me

But seek what lies beneath

My flesh and blood will make the stars

That shake bones underneath

[Verse 2]

Now a forsaken

Ghost in the eyes of her world

Banished for all time

Since he made you bleed, so violently

Painful is the kick

Inside it makes you so sick

The blood that drips down your thigh

Tarnishes virtue; lies

[Pre-Chorus]

Wearing a mask familiar

A god forced himself on you

Raping and impregnating

Causing the exile of your life

Wearing a mask familiar

A god forced himself on you

Raping and impregnating

Causing the exile of your life

Changed like Callisto to a star in heaven

[Chorus]

Hate not the flesh that makes me

But seek what lies beneath

My flesh and blood will make the stars

That shake bones underneath

Hate not the flesh that makes me

But seek what lies beneath

My flesh and blood will make the stars

That shake bones underneath

[Bridge 1]

Cast out from the righteous life you loved

Vengeance comes down from the skies above

To wreak havoc and torment the one

Who just gave birth to her true love's son

[Solo: Heafy]

[Solo: Beaulieu]

[Bridge 2]

Cursed to roam the Earth alone, a beast

Witnesses as her son now fully grown

Readied arm to cast a spear, to kill

Can't recognize, all he sees is fear

[Pre-Chorus]

Wearing a mask familiar

A god forced himself on you

Raping and impregnating

Causing the exile of your life

Wearing a mask familiar

A god forced himself on you

Raping and impregnating

Causing the exile of your life

[Chorus]

Hate not the flesh that makes me

But seek what lies beneath

My flesh and blood will make the stars

That shake bones underneath

Hate not the flesh that makes me

But seek what lies beneath

My flesh and blood will make the stars

That shake bones underneath
