Empire

Take my crown
I’ve crossed the line, left vacant
Passion’s throne
Ill-fated, overgrown
Charmed by death
The prophet swore he’d save me
Now I’ve got something to say
We left it all behind
Draw deep the breath we can’t deny
We’ve all got something to hide
Choke down a breath as we deny
This is the breaking point.
If we had time
If we had time
Life in the empire’s taken its toll
So blind my eyes
I'll pay your price
And wash away my…
Tear me down
Ignore the signs I’m vacant
So, I’m free
There’s nothing left of me
Pray to death
And maybe she’ll remake me
Now I’ve got something to say
We left it all behind
Draw deep the breath we can’t deny
We’ve all got something to hide
Choke down a breath as we deny
This is the breaking point.
If we had time
If we had time
Life in the empire’s taken its toll
So blind my eyes
I'll pay your price
And wash away my…
My love, my hate, my heart, my soul
(The fear takes hold)
Would time erase this broken home?
(It takes its toll)
(It takes its toll)
Always waiting,
Searching for the sound
Hope was fading
Here, still, wishing we'd be found
The lie to keep us whole
The lives we never sold
The lie to keep control
We left it all behind
Draw deep the breath we can’t deny
We’ve all got something to hide
Choke down a breath as we deny
This is the breaking point.
If we had time
If we had time
Life in the empire’s taken its toll
So blind my eyes
I'll pay your price
And wash away my…
My love, my hate, my heart, my soul
(The fear takes hold)
Would time erase this broken home?
(It takes its toll)
(It takes its toll)

The Portrait
03:39

Daylight dies, I hear them crying
All you do it leaves me sighing
Oh, I speak your name
It starts again
Daylight dies, I hear them crying
All you do it leaves me sighing
Oh, I speak your name
It starts again
Now I’m going insane
Slipping swiftly into sin I can’t erase
You told me you’d save
(I speak your name)
Under the moon you taught me scorn the son
I heard the sweetest song
So strange
You don’t change
Sip of my wounds
I can’t complete you
Desperate we’ll claw at the frame
This portrait tomb
It soon depletes you
Choke on the filth you became
It starts again.
Now I know it’s a game
Every whisper, every touch, every new face
We’ve broken the chains
(I speak your name)
Under the moon I tasted all you’d lost
I cared not for the cost
So strange
You don’t change
Daylight dies, I hear them crying
All you do it leaves me sighing
Oh, I speak your name
It starts again
Daylight dies, I hear them crying
All you do it leaves me sighing
Oh, I speak your name
It starts again
Sip of my wounds
I can’t complete you
Desperate we’ll claw at the frame
This portrait tomb
It soon depletes you
Choke on the filth you became
It starts again.
It starts again
Daylight dies, I hear them crying
All you do it leaves me sighing
Oh, I speak your name
It starts again

Paper Skin
03:26

I’ve seen your faith, it’s grown deathly thin
It’s just a delusion wrapped up in paper skin
I know you’ve cast off the divine
So hide behind your lies
Everybody will see the end
Yes everybody will see the end
Apocalyptic
The smile behind your eyes
The demons you can't hide
It's cataclysmic
The way you've redefined
Your darkness into light
You’ve held on
But the mask’s gone
Your soul’s lost in a war that can't be won
Apocalyptic
I fear our time is nigh
I fear our time is up
Night plagues you only with fractured dreams
You're nothing, a tiny cog in the grand machine
Come morning light will warm your face
For you've abandoned grace
Apocalyptic
The smile behind your eyes
The demons you can't hide
It's cataclysmic
The way you've redefined
Your darkness into light
You’ve held on
But the mask’s gone
Your soul’s lost in a war that can't be won
Apocalyptic
I fear our time is nigh
I fear our time is up
Round and round
This maudlin dance
We lost ourselves
We caught the scent
See everybody pretends, my friend
So nobody will ascend, my friend
Spit in the eye of heaven-sent
With notions that they don't pretend
Not one of them will ascend, my friend
So everybody will see the end
Yes everybody will see the end
Yes everybody will see the end
Yes everybody will see the end
I promise you that you'll see the end
Apocalyptic
The smile behind your eyes
The demons you can't hide
It's cataclysmic
The way you've redefined
Your darkness into light
You’ve held on
But the mask’s gone
Your soul’s lost in a war that can't be won
Apocalyptic
I fear our time is nigh
I fear our time is up
Our time is nigh
Our time is up
Our time is nigh
Our time is up

Black Thorns
04:17

|

Who will join me in this wake?
Embrace my sin, then watch me break
I've fought the tide
I've challenged fate
(There's no escape)
The darkest dreams still bind me
Choke each word; hope never finds me
This place is not my home
(It's all I've ever known)
But it's not home
I can't let go
(Oh oh oh oh)
Black thorns at the edge of every thought
(Oh oh oh oh)
It's in the blood
It's in the blood
Again this heart slips from my hold
Obsessively I crave control
I once knew peace
You took it all
(You left me war)
In sorrow's haze you claim me
Stoke my fire, then suffocate me
This face is not my own
(It's all I've ever known)
I can feel your pulse; it's thunderous to me
Like a starless night it's all consuming
Disappear, we'll taste the sky
Trace my lips along your thigh,
You're mine.
(Oh oh oh oh)
Black thorns at the edge of every thought
(Oh oh oh oh)
It's in the blood
It's in the blood
(Oh oh oh oh)
Black thorns at the edge of every thought
(Oh oh oh oh)
It can't be stopped
It can't be stopped
This is all I've ever known
A long and lonely road
Searching for a place to call home
This is all I've ever known
In silence, oh so cold,
Endlessly, I'm searching for a face of my own
(Oh oh oh oh)
Black thorns at the edge of every thought
(Oh oh oh oh)
It's in the blood
It's in the blood
(Oh oh oh oh)
Black thorns at the edge of every thought
(Oh oh oh oh)
It can't be stopped
It can't be stopped

The Dark
03:55

There's nothing left here but silence and rage
This room left vacant, it echoes her name
It been so damn long; how can I face them again?
Now that I've realised we were the same
Through the ice, I watched her
(Fall)
(I watched her fall)
Unloved
Losing light, I couldn't
(Hold)
I couldn’t hold her heart
Winter's touch has killed the fire
Stripped the warmth from her desire
It's my fault
(It's my fault)
Leave me to the dark
There’ll be no cleansing of hands caked with blood
A cruel reminder, left comfortably numb
As doubt takes the reigns, I question all that I've done
I wonder if she found peace up above
Through the ice, I watched her
(Fall)
(I watched her fall)
Unloved
Losing light, I couldn't
(Hold)
I couldn’t hold her heart
Winter's touch has killed the fire
Stripped the warmth from her desire
It's my fault
(It's my fault)
Leave me to the dark
Through the ice
I watched her fall, unloved
Losing light
I couldn't hold…her heart
Through the ice, I watched her
(Fall)
(I watched her fall)
Unloved
Losing light, I couldn't
(Hold)
I couldn’t hold her heart
Winter's touch has killed the fire
Stripped the warmth from her desire
It's my fault
(It's my fault)
Leave me to the dark
Through the ice I watched her fall, unloved
Losing light I couldn't hold her heart
Winter's touch has killed the fire
Stripped the warmth from her desire
It's my fault
Leave me to the dark
