Lyrics


1. DEMONS

In their eyes we see the dawn fall to the day
Whispered fears cast light against the
gathered grey
In their minds our time is lost and ever still
They will see where horror lies

Demons come
Through the fire and hell of other planes to claim their own
The years of pain are cast into the grave
Far away I hear their cries and I carry on to
see them dead
To grasp this chance within my hands tonight

Demons come
They crawl into the world
So alone demons come
They crawl into the night

In the cold
Red-black mists of death sigh names
forgotten to the wind
They all see darkness through the failing light
In my rage I am the storm
I am the lost; I am the one
To see an end to all that could have been


2. THE DEAD

Dig the grave with sweat and spade
To the ground the truth is laid
Now watch the storm that follows
Don't look into our eyes or you
May rise up to find the day
So bright and yet so hollow

We stand We fight We move
Into the night
We are the death of legends
We stand so black in grief
Of what has passed
We owe the world no debt

Living ends with shattered bones
Across the cemetery roam
Into the grey-lit twilight
And from the soil another cries
To pierce the dark against the lies
And never see them falter


3. THE FALLEN

We wander from the grave
With grey and clouded eyes
And death is overcome
As a world of blood is born


There's no love and all I see is hunger
Life fades away from the jaded world
And so they fall before the fallen
Who cannot die, we cannot die away

There is a house that lays
On cemetery lane
And there a life was lived
A life of loss and pain

Dream of nights that faded fast
For the end is drawing near
And the light of day can't save you now
For the fallen have no fear


4. THE COFFIN DON'T WANT ME (AND SHE DON'T EITHER)

I woke up dead to find that everything had changed
The world's a bitter place so grey and cold
Has it always been this way
So now I hunger seems I'm in the mood for brains
But blood and guts will do for a day or two as I make my way to you

In a daze I stumble from the coffin wood
Toward the cities' hazy eyes that shine so bright
Such blinded fools they wander void of fear in life
Tonight they find in me the darker side of night

I hear your heart but find that you are not alone
I stumble through the door and down the hall
To where you slept before
My dead eyes find you with another and I see
I've been replaced by someone else's arms though
I've been dead but three weeks

Dead eyes stair as hunger builds
Destroy destroy
They'll find a sanguine house of death when morning calls
The slaughter ends as on the other I will feast this night
Oh yeah
The second life begins

Join me tonight


5. EYES OF A GHOST

Time to find the world again
The motives seem so grim
Watching from this distant place
From within
A feeling from a time before
When nothing seemed so grey
Watch the pictures fade…

Can I find another life before the colors die away?
Like spirits in our eyes
Can I find another path before the last light dies away?
To live another day

Time crashes from the sky again
To wash away the rain
I stare into the setting sun
Until it falls away
What is left is everything
Or everything to me
As I watch the evening fade


6. A LIGHT IN THE WINDOW

The end is not the end
I know that hands move through my sleep
The air seems cold and thin
This fog won't lift with morning's light

Time is lost to time
The songs will play until they die
Fear will feed our fear
As footsteps echo through the silence
Then, between the hours
A chime rings out to still our hearts
Cold, the air's so cold
The questions rise in every eye

Stare into the night
Waiting for a sign of morning
Shades shift before our tired eyes
Stare into the night
The end is near
Shades shift before our tired eyes

An ending falls so quiet now
The words we spoke cannot be found
The moments lost still carry on
In unseen worlds before the dawn
And children say that through the night
That one can see a ghostly light
Within the halls of this dark place
Where none have walked for many days
