The Void Lyrics
[Intro]
Bring this, motherfucker!
[Verse 1]
Grinding again, we're the legion of the south
Another year with our name in your mouth
I know how it feels to hate everything
And feel like you're alone
I am here with you, just close your eyes and listen to my voice
Spill your thoughts inside of me, they'll vanish in the void
No one can feel what we feel, this is family
Just let them burn in the fire that we've set on the world
[Pre-Chorus]
Close your eyes
And follow the sound of my voice (Voice, voice, voice...)
Close your eyes and follow the sound
Of my voice
(Sound of my voice)
[Chorus]
We are the void where the pain is obsolete
You don't have to feel a thing or think that life is not complete
We are the void, just let go and free your mind
Come with us into eternity and leave the rest to die
One more fucking time!
[Verse 2]
Never again will I be on this earth
Float with me into the void and witness rebirth
The overwhelming beauty takes the air from your lungs
Time doesn't exist, we'll stay forever young
[Guitar Solo]
[Pre-Chorus]
When you think you're lost, close your eyes
And follow the sound of my voice (Voice, voice, voice...)
Close your eyes and follow the sound
Of my voice
[Chorus]
We are the void where the pain is obsolete
You don't have to feel a thing or think that life is not complete
We are the void, just let go and free your mind
Come with us into eternity and leave the rest to die
[Bridge]
We are the void
You don't have to live a lie
Be yourself and nothing less
Take my hand, and we'll watch the world burn
From the sky
[Outro]
Take my hand, and we'll watch the world burn
Be where we're supposed to be
Take my hand, and we'll watch the world burn
From the sky
Take my hand
Watch the world burn
Elitist Ones Lyrics
[Verse 1]
It took a long time to realize and admit
That our words don't mean a thing, so keep talking your shit
How can we honestly live in fear
When everyone will die in a hundred years?
[Pre-Chorus]
Respect, trust and loyalty
I've gave it out and I've taken it too
But what's the point when everyone
Will secretly think they're better than you?
[Chorus]
This is what we have become
A self-absorbed population of scum
The vision of the future is like staring at the sun
God damn (God damn) the elitist ones
This is what we have become
A self-absorbed population of scum
The vision of the future is like staring at the sun
God damn (God damn) the elitist ones
[Post-Chorus]
This is what we have become
[Verse 2]
I've seen it all, there's nothing I haven't heard
Just stay at home and remain a coward
And swallow down that salt in your mouth
Because nobody gives a fuck what comes out
[Pre-Chorus]
Respect, trust and loyalty
I've gave it out and I've taken it too
But what's the point when everyone
Will secretly think they're better than you?
[Chorus]
This is what we have become
A self-absorbed population of scum
The vision of the future is like staring at the sun
God damn (God damn) the elitist ones
This is what we have become
A self-absorbed population of scum
The vision of the future is like staring at the sun
God damn (God damn) the elitist ones
[Guitar Solo]
[Bridge]
One day we'll all regret
The things we've said
From here on out don't open your mouth
Show some fucking respect!
[Breakdown]
Show some fucking respect
Karma will come for your neck
I've run out of patience
For so-called "elitists"
Show some fucking respect
Karma will come for your neck
I've run out of patience
For so-called "elitists"
[Pre-Chorus]
Respect, trust and loyalty
I've gave it out and I've taken it too
What's the point when everyone
Will secretly think they're better than you?
[Chorus]
This is what we have become
A self-absorbed population of scum
The vision of the future is like staring at the sun
God damn (God damn) the elitist ones
This is what we have become
A self-absorbed population of scum
The vision of the future is like staring at the sun
God damn (God damn) the elitist ones
[Outro]
This is what we have become
God damn the elitist ones
This is what we have become
God damn the elitist ones
Bring Me Home Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I close my eyes and count to ten
The seconds turn to years and slowly
I've been recognizing everything
Through an adolescent mind
It's so dark here...
It's so dark here...
And for the first time
[Chorus]
I feel alive, but you're not here!
Life, it changes
Wake me up, and bring me home
Bring me home!
Let me stay here forever
[Verse 2]
I can't see a thing
I'm lying in my bed, I can't stop thinking
It's driving me insane
Never got to say goodbye
It's still dark here...
It's still dark here...
And for the first time
[Chorus]
I feel alive, but you're not here!
Life, it changes
Wake me up, and bring me home
Bring me home!
Let me stay here forever
[Bridge]
I'll live on, and carry your name
And be what you always thought I could be
I hope we, meet at the end
But I'll never forgive the world, for taking my best friend!
[Outro]
I can't see a thing... (I can't see a thing)
I can't see a thing... (I can't feel a thing)
I can't see a thing... (I can't see a thing)
I can't see a thing... (I can't feel a thing)
I can't see a thing... (I can't see a thing)
I can't see a thing... (I can't feel a thing)
I can't see a thing... (I can't see a thing)
I can't see a thing...
Tremors Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I bet you won’t have much to say
When a sledgehammer rares back and busts you in your face
Pop another pill, pretend you’re not fake
Come to think of it, maybe your life’s a mistake
Don’t breathe, don’t speak
I need a moment to think what you would be without me
You are the bane of everything
Nothing will ever be the same
[Pre-Chorus]
Don’t think that you’re better off now
Or you have a clean slate
How can you sleep at night
When the earth shakes, just self-medicate?
Don’t think that you’re better off now
Or you have a clean slate
How can you sleep at night
When the earth shakes, just self-medicate?
[Chorus]
Two thousand miles away
Even I can feel the earth shake when you say
That everything will be okay
There’s nothing left (Nothing left)
We’re facing death
And you still can’t admit that everything won’t be okay
[Verse 2]
They will say it’s lonely at the top
But it’s a nightmare at the bottom
They’ll never stop to think or feel, don’t tell me you’re alone
When I’m lying here, dying at the foot of their throne
Misguide me, mislead me
Take me away from everyone that needs me
I’m drowning, I’m dying
And you still won’t reach for me
[Pre-Chorus]
Don’t think that you’re better off now
Or you have a clean slate
How can you sleep at night
When the earth shakes, just self-medicate?
[Bridge]
I’m drowning, I’m dying
And you still won’t reach for me
I’m drowning (I’m drowning), I’m dying (I’m dying)
I'm on my final breath, and you still won’t reach!
[Chorus]
Two thousand miles away
Even I can feel the earth shake when you say
That everything will be okay
There’s nothing left (Nothing left)
We’re facing death
And you still can’t admit that everything won’t be okay
[Guitar Solo]
[Outro]
If I die, you’re coming with me
They say it’s euphoric anyway
Speak my name and feel the earth shake
Feel the earth shake
Yeah!
Dwell in the Shadows Lyrics
[Intro]
I dwell in the shadows of a past life
And I welcome you to try
To pull my thoughts to the outside
Introverted, am I supposed to be a man
That doesn’t hold it back?
I don’t need the spotlight
All I need is to be the man I know I am
[Verse 1]
I dwell in the shadows of a past life
And I never thought my words
Would change the lives of the mentally disturbed
It’s insane to me, I help lyrically
It seems you’re more fucked up than me
But that’s who we are
Mass-produced psychos with a million scars
That’s who we will be
And you’re the ones that made me
[Chorus]
Don’t ever change
We are who we are, and it should remain the same
If you don’t want to dwell in the light
Then dwell in the shadows with me
[Post-Chorus]
Dwell in the shadows with me
Dwell in the shadows with me
[Verse 2]
I am a ghost
They never see the side I hate the most
Blackened by the outside
I’m fighting a rising tide
I’m not afraid
This is the part of my life that has made me
Who I am, and what I am
Is a tortured soul helping them
To see the light
I am a voice for the people to relate
To my hate
But I’ll always dwell in the shadows
Until you call for me
[Bridge]
They will call us evil, forever they’ll shun
But just call my name, and I’ll take their tongues
This blade cuts deeper than flesh, it cuts down to the soul
As we dwell in the shadows
I am your voice for them to hear
I am your thoughts, I am your fears
We are one and we are all
As we dwell in the shadows
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
I never thought I could hold on
Or help anyone
To get out of the darkness
And stop them from a suicide
I know when you’re lost
It’s hard to find any peace for your mind
Let me be your voice
And hold the balance of mankind
May we all find our way
And stop us from self-destructing
If that day still comes
I’ll die the man I always was
[Chorus]
Don’t ever change
We are who we are, and it should remain the same
If you don’t want to dwell in the light
Then dwell in the shadows with me
[Post-Chorus]
Dwell in the shadows with me
If you don’t want to dwell in the light
Then dwell in the shadows with me
Venomous Lyrics
[Intro]
Hypnotized, the serpent’s eyes
Draw me to the venomous lies
Take me down the path of failure
And to my imminent demise
[Verse 1]
Ice is flowing through his veins
And his touch gives me a frozen heart
Paralyzed, in his eyes I can see hypocrisy
And his noxious grin convinces me
That I’ll get what I need, so he plants the seed
And immediately, I feel invincibility
But it can’t be real, it doesn’t make sense
That I can feel so incomplete
[Pre-Chorus]
What have you done?
I can’t move. but I feel like I am free
There’s blood everywhere
I’m losing my mind, this isn’t me
[Chorus]
This venom flowing through my veins
Has set me free, but I’m still wrapped in chains
Emotions are true, the words are fake
I’ve been paralyzed by this venomous snake
This venom flowing through my veins
Consumes my soul, but it takes away the pain
Emotions are true, the words are fake
I’ve been paralyzed by this venomous snake
[Verse 2]
In his eyes I can see hypocrisy
And his noxious grin convinces me
That I’ll get what I need, so he plants the seed
And immediately, I feel invincibility
But it can’t be real, it doesn’t make sense
That I can feel so incomplete
[Chorus]
This venom flowing through my veins
Has set me free, but I’m still wrapped in chains
Emotions are true, the words are fake
I’ve been paralyzed by this venomous snake
This venom flowing through my veins
Consumes my soul, but it takes away the pain
Emotions are true, the words are fake
I’ve been paralyzed by this venomous snake
[Verse 3]
Ice is flowing through his veins
And his touch gives me a frozen heart
I’m breaking down but I must regain
My strength, so I can tear us apart
I won’t succumb
My body is numb but I’m growing stronger
Now that I have you by your throat
I’ll take your life and everything you own
[Guitar Solo]
[Bridge]
Almighty serpent
You shall serve me now, I’ve taken the throne
Warn them of my rebirth
I’ll conquer this earth and make it my own
[Outro]
I am your master
I own your soul
You are the bastard
Son of flesh and blood
You are the bastard
Son of flesh and blood
