Trivium Tribute EP II

 The Phalanx

Within the thrill, amidst the kill one against all, soon blood will spill
We cannot wait to make your pain we are the burn inside your brain
Herding the weak to fire scorching the fleeing liars
Witness the dying saboteurs carcasses washed upon the shores
Don't let this take me split me wide open rip me from the stars
Burn the bridge take the ash scatter deceptiveness

We are the ones who led the way this path to hell and misery
An endless war, a hollow cause when we all die, we'll see no gods
Herding the weak to fire scorching the fleeing liars
Witness the dying saboteurs carcasses washed upon the shores
Don't let this take me split me wide open rip me from the stars
Burn the bridge take the ash scatter deceptiveness

I'm the source of your hate only yourself to blame
Dying once seemed so heroic to me giving this body for a people in need
Now I realize there is nothing to see nothing but dirt and decay
Dying once seemed so heroic to me giving this body for a people in need
Now I realize there is nothing to see nothing but dirt and decay
Don't let this take me split me wide open rip me from the stars
If they should take me then may they break me
Kill me, burn me but I'll stay torched into the heart

Like A Sword Over Damocles

Dark winter necrotic seems this will never end
Transgressions my burdens are forever
Denial holding on it's grip, it chokes the life
Of what was and will be The Eternal present
Who of you will dare to sit in the throne who of you will dare
You keep hanging this over me like a sword over Damocles
My life held by a thread and it's starting to sway like a sword over Damocles

Declension this poison the power killing me
Detachment who am I what have I done?
The violence full of hate the habit of our sins 
Atonement buried in an unmarked grave
Who of you will dare to sit in the throne who of you will dare
You keep hanging this over me like a sword over Damocles
My life held by a thread and it's starting to sway like a sword over Damocles

Is it all you hoped for is it all that you dreamed
Is it all you hoped for feel the weight being king
Is it all you hoped for feel the weight being king
Who of you will dare to sit in the throne who of you will dare
You keep hanging this over me like a sword over Damocles
My life held by a thread and it's starting to sway like a sword over Damocles

The Wretchedness Inside

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

This blood I bleed, I bleed for you I paint the walls with my misery
This blood I bleed, I bleed for me I can not live if I can't breathe
The part I can't control, I can't destroy the wretchedness inside
I cannot control I cannot destroy in hell, can I confide
The wretchedness inside of you the wretchedness inside of me

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 because I'm obsessed with the madness

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

The Sin And The Sentence

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
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
The sin and the sentence penance in the fire
The sin and the sentence the flames grip your throat

I saw the dagger eyes staring back at me I knew I'd never have a chance to bleed
Guilty, but in the sight of fallen men they bury you before you speak
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
The sin and the sentence penance in the fire
The sin and the sentence the flames grip your throat

Beware those who speak in tongues for they may call your name
You condemn me because you don't understand me
You condemn me because you don't understand me
They'll genuflect to a lie the sin and the sentence penance in the fire
The sin and the sentence the flames grip your throat
Beware those who speak in tongues for they may call your name
You condemn me because you don't understand me
You condemn me because you don't understand me
Fuck the sin and the sentence penance in the fire
The sin and the sentence the flames grip your throat

Strife

My anxiety's clawing out from deep within me
It burns within as my throat begins to cauterize
This negativity is leeching any shred of composure
Rationale has decayed and left me bound in madness
I reach for calm I starve for a balance unknown this burden tortures me deep in my soul
I've found that strife won't make the bleeding stop nor will it take away the pain
I feel like this search is all in vain and I struggle to find my way

How I yearn for the silence for an end to the voices
The calamity grows and the deafness leads to disarray
Guilt buries me alive in a coffin criticized
I shouldered the blame and dug this hole for me to lay in
I reach for calm I starve for a balance unknown this burden tortures me deep in my soul
I've found that strife won't make the bleeding stop nor will it take away the pain
I feel like this search is all in vain and I struggle to find my way

Through Blood And Dirt And Bone

Die young, save yourself life is only replaced by hell
I know that the hurt will just go on I can't save myself
Slowly, without a name as the blood empties from my veins
Nothing ever stays the same I know I'll always take the blame
I fear I won't make, make it out, out in time
I fear I won't make, make it out, out alive
I'm alone when the ending comes take control of the nightmare this fate has become my own
There is no quiet ending I'll be taking you with me through blood and through dirt and bone

Choking on my soul misery has gained control
Hand in mouth; I start to pull the corpse that's trapped in side my throat
I want so much to make you feel all this pain that makes me real
I bring you down to fall with me now drown inside of my disease
I fear I won't make, make it out, out in time
I fear I won't make, make it out, out alive
I'm alone when the ending comes take control of the nightmare this fate has become my own
There is no quiet ending I'll be taking you with me through blood and through dirt and bone
