The Sin and the Sentence Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I heard the passing bells calling out my name
I knew I'd never see another day
I couldn't swim against the tides of blame
I knew there was no other way
[Pre-Chorus]
You better practice your lines
You better practice your words
I know that real monsters lie
Between the light and the shade
It doesn't matter what you say or feel
When honest men become deranged
They'll genuflect to a lie
[Chorus]
The sin and the sentence
Penance in the fire
(To a lie)
The sin and the sentence
The flames grip your throat
(They'll genuflect to a lie)
The sin and the sentence
Penance in the fire
(To a lie)
The sin and the sentence
The flames grip your throat
(They'll genuflect to a lie)
[Verse 2]
I saw the dagger eyes staring back at me
I knew I'd never have a chance to plead
Guilty, but in the sight of fallen men
They bury you before you speak
(You don't understand us)
[Pre-Chorus]
You better practice your lines
You better practice your words
I know that real monsters lie
Between the light and the shade
It doesn't matter what you say or feel
When honest men become deranged
They'll genuflect to a lie
[Chorus]
The sin and the sentence
Penance in the fire
(To a lie)
The sin and the sentence
The flames grip your throat
(They'll genuflect to a lie)
The sin and the sentence
Penance in the fire
(To a lie)
The sin and the sentence
The flames grip your throat
(They'll genuflect to a lie)
[Bridge]
Beware those who speak in tongues
For they may call your name
You condemn me
'Cause you don't understand me
You condemn me
'Cause you don't understand me
[Pre-Chorus]
They'll genuflect to a lie
[Chorus]
The sin and the sentence
Penance in the fire
(To a lie)
The sin and the sentence
The flames grip your throat
(They'll genuflect to a lie)
The sin and the sentence
Penance in the fire
(To a lie)
The sin and the sentence
The flames grip your throat
(They'll genuflect to a lie)
[Bridge]
Beware those who speak in tongues
For they may call your name
You condemn me
'Cause you don't understand me
You condemn me
'Cause you don't understand me
You condemn me
'Cause you don't understand me
You condemn me
'Cause you don't understand me
Fuck!
[Outro]
The sin and the sentence
Penance in the fire
The sin and the sentence
The flames grip your throat

Betrayer Lyrics
[Intro]
Betrayer
Betrayer
[Verse 1]
I say betrayer
I swear I've given you so much
Naysayer
I watched as you just lapped it up
Unwilling
Addicted to be without dignity
A cheater
You thrive on lechery
I don't know what I expected
Was our time even real?
Your callous heart never seemed affected
Does a liar even know how to feel?
[Pre-Chorus]
Unto you, I proclaim
Creonte shall be your name
[Chorus]
I'll never be a victim for you
I'll never be your fool
I'll never be a victim
Betrayer (Betrayer)
Betrayer (Betrayer)
[Post-Chorus]
Betrayer
Betrayer
[Verse 2]
You're calculating
I know you know exactly what you're doing
Your selfishness, your only cause
A fake (Fake), a farce (Farce)
You had us all convinced
No guilt (Guilt), no heart (Heart)
No love (Love), no conscience held
[Pre-Chorus]
Unto you, I proclaim
Creonte shall be your name
[Chorus]
I'll never be a victim for you
I'll never be your fool
I'll never be a victim
Betrayer (Betrayer)
Betrayer (Betrayer)
[Bridge]
Time will not mend
All these mistakes have now
Brought forth the end
For you, my friend
Time will not end
All these mistakes have now
Brought forth the end
For you, my friend
I say betrayer
[Verse 3]
A fake (fake), a farce (farce)
(You had us all convinced)
No guilt (guilt), no heart (heart)
No love (love), no conscience held
[Pre-Chorus]
Unto you, I proclaim
Creonte shall be your name
[Chorus]
I'll never be a victim for you
I'll never be your fool
I'll never be a victim

The Wretchedness Inside Lyrics
[Vere 1]
Submerged in dirt, but it was never enough
To quell the fire in the back of my lungs
My bones are aching, and my head is a mess
They said to run, but I'm obsessed with the madness
[Pre-Chorus]
This blood I bleed, I bleed for you
I paint the walls with my misery
This blood I bleed, I bleed for me
I cannot live if I can't breathe
[Chorus]
The part I can't control, I can't destroy
The wretchedness inside
The wretchedness inside of you
The wretchedness inside of me
[Verse 2]
Consigned to hurt, but it was never enough
To bury feelings that will surely return
My heart is aching, and my God, I'm a mess
I'll never run 'cause I'm obsessed with the madness
[Pre-Chorus]
This blood I bleed, I bleed for you
I paint the walls with my misery
This blood I bleed, I bleed for me
I cannot live if I can't breathe
[Chorus]
The part I can't control, I can't destroy
The wretchedness inside
The wretchedness inside of you
The wretchedness inside of me
[Post-Chorus]
I cannot control, I cannot destroy
In hell, can I confide?
The wretchedness inside of you
(In hell, can I confide?)
The wretchedness inside of me
[Bridge]
How did it come to this?
How the fuck did it come to this?
Our love and hate collide in all this dissonance
How did it come to this?
How the fuck did it come to this?
Our love and hate collide in all this dissonance
Fuck you
How did it come to this?
How the fuck did it come to this?
Our love and hate collide in all this dissonance
[Bridge]
How did it come to this?
How the fuck did it come to this?
Our love and hate collide in all this dissonance
[Pre-Chorus]
This blood I bleed, I bleed for you
I paint the walls with my misery
This blood I bleed, I bleed for me
I cannot live if I can't breathe
[Chorus]
The part I can't control, I can't destroy
The wretchedness inside
The wretchedness inside of you
The wretchedness inside of me
[Post-Chorus]
I cannot control, I cannot destroy
In hell, can I confide?
The wretchedness inside of you
In hell, can I confide?
The wretchedness inside of me
Beauty in the Sorrow Lyrics
[Intro]
Can we make sense of it all?
The lies our fathers told
To find the beauty in the sorrow
[Bridge]
So young
Did it even matter?
So young
Did it even matter?
[Verse 1]
It felt so strange
Living in my grave
Count each breath
Waiting to expire
Remember home
Dying here alone
Hollow words
Anthems from the choir
[Chorus]
Can we make sense of it all?
The lies our fathers told
To find the beauty in the sorrow
[Post-Chorus]
The lies they told
Can we make sense of it all?
The beauty in the sorrow
[Bridge]
So young
Did it even matter?
So young
Did it even matter?
[Verse 2]
It felt so strange
Looking at your grave
An early end
I read letters to remember
So I moved on
Or so the story goes
Shots rang out
Red flowers, a reminder
[Chorus]
Can we make sense of it all?
The lies our fathers told
To find the beauty in the sorrow
The beauty in the sorrow
The beauty in the sorrow
[Bridge]
So young
Did it even matter?
So young
Did it even matter?
[Chorus]
Can we make sense of it all?
The lies our fathers told
To find the beauty in the sorrow
[Post-Chorus]
The lies they told
Can we make sense of it all?
The beauty in the sorrow
