Slaughter the Martyr
Choke on the Ashes of Your Hate
Become the Firestorm
Overdose
My Hands Are Empty
Unhallowed
Assimilate
Kill Thy Enemies
No Gods, No Masters
Bloodshot

Arrows in Words from the Sky

Arrows in Words from the Sky
Slaughter the Martyr
[Intro]
Broken down, on my knees
Only sound, ears that ring
The silence is so loud
I scream into the void
So hold my hand, walk into oblivion
Go to the cocoon, transformation

The pain emporium
Stripped down and bleeding
Broken of everything but pride
These mental scars I try to hide
My head held in my hands
Scars of sanctity, hatred's purity
Loss of my equilibrium
My soul is turning to ash
This faithless sanitarium

So wave goodbye
Save a prayer
Don't you cry
Don't be scared
For I have thrived
With no fear
Let me die
I'll be there

Slaughter the martyr
Slaughter the martyr

[Verse 1]
Dawn of the desolate
Prayers to pestilence
Deeper I fall in this descent to madness
Nightfall my nemesis
Dreams drip with violence
Orgies of murder, vicious acts so senseless

Piece by piece the kingdom shatters
Reality in tatters
The curse of chaos slowly consumes
Bruised
Scarred and abused
Suffer my vengeance, paint the world in crimson hues
Paint the world in crimson hues
[Pre-Chorus]
Time won't heal
This hate I feel
Can't close my eyes
Nightmares that terrorize

[Chorus]
I lay paralyzed in homicidal rage
The anger driving me insane

[Break]
Slaughter the martyr

[Verse 2]
Brutal and barbarous
Murder so merciless
This blood will quench the thirst for retribution
Heartless, this homicide
Justice so justified
Never last rites, there's only execution

Limb from limb, I tear his body
And leave the carcass rotting
The stench of death is all that atones
Stone
I stand alone
Upon the piles of my enemies' broken bones
Of my enemies' broken bones
[Pre-Chorus]
Time won't heal
This hate I feel
Can't close my eyes
Nightmares that terrorize

[Chorus]
I lay paralyzed in homicidal rage
The anger driving me insane
I lay paralyzed in homicidal rage
The anger driving me insane

[Bridge]
Heartbreak, the cross I bare
Endless sorrow fills the blackened air
These pyres where love has died
A fire smothered, emptiness inside
Angel adorned, halo of bullet shells
Into the darkest depths, I cast them to rot in hell
The executioner, no judge, no trial
Killing the killers that perpetuate this act so vile

[Guitar solo]

[Chorus]
I lay paralyzed in homicidal rage (Homicidal rage)
The anger driving me insane
I lay paralyzed in homicidal rage (Homicidal rage)
The anger driving me insane, -sane

[Outro]
So wave goodbye
Save a prayer
Don't you cry
Don't be scared
For I have thrived
With no fear
Let me die
I'll be there

Choke on the Ashes of Your Hate
[Verse 1]
Faithless weaponize, mass corrupted lies, poison everything
False conspiracy, soulless enemy, dead for all to see
Look around and see the great decay
Violence turns the fearful into slaves

[Chorus]
Choke
On the ashes of your hate
And it's far too late
Look around and see, the great hypocrisy
Glittering inside its rotting cage
[Verse 2]
Sick society, lost in vanity, paid to slowly die
Lifeless reprobate, soul incarcerate, cutting like a knife
Shoving their vile vеnom down our throats like Klonopin
Force feed their liеs back like medicine

[Chorus]
Choke
On the ashes of your hate
And it's far too late
Look around and see, the great hypocrisy
Glittering inside this rotting cage

[Bridge]
Chaos cratering
Riots, anarchy
Lawlessness abounds
All of us hell-bound
We're the damaged ones
Left with the damage done
We don't care no more
This is fucking war
Chaos cratering
Riots, anarchy
Lawlessness abounds
All of us hell-bound
We're the damaged ones
Left with the damage done
We don't care no more
This is fucking war
Mutator bastard
Bow to your master
Dead men, no worry
Welcome hell's fury
[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]
Mock and penalize, vex and victimize, starving refugee
Race identity, burning you and me, cinders char the free
Lowing like a shackled animal
Day of slaughter only time will tell

[Outro]
Choke
On the ashes of your hate
And it's far too late
Look around and see, the great hypocrisy
Glittering inside this rotting cage
Choke
On the ashes of your hate
And it's far too late
Look around and see, the great hypocrisy
Glittering inside this rotting cage

Become the Firestorm
[Intro]
Now become

[Verse 1]
Kill the pain
I’m breaking the shackles
Endless, let my spirit rise
I will not be denied
Rage against the dying light

Fearless, so vicious and violent
I’ll fight this struggle to the death
Until nothing is left
Pounding fists on beaten chest
Scream this ‘til my dying breath
[Chorus]
Stand strong and fight through the scorn
Become the firestorm
Become the firestorm
Distended, twisted and torn
Become the firestorm
Become the firestorm

[Verse 2]
Watch me burn
The fury is frightening
Deathless, smash and conquer all
Time to beckon the call
Stand with me and never fall

Toxic, the pious and poisoned
Heartless, trust there's no love lost
And no matter the cost
Don’t believe that all is lost
Kill this mental holocaust

[Chorus]
Stand strong and fight through the scorn
Become the firestorm
Become the firestorm
Distended, twisted and torn
Become the firestorm
Become the firestorm
[Bridge]
Honor, valor, I have shown
Courage, respect carved in stone
Killers, sinners are my flock
Slaughter, carnage, butcher’s block

If there was ever a time in my life
That time is now
Take this weakness that cuts like a knife
And smash it down

[Chorus]
Stand strong and fight through the scorn
Become the firestorm
Become the firestorm
Distended, twisted and torn
Become the firestorm
Become the firestorm

Overdose
I'm sorry, the overdose was too strong, we lost her

My Hands Are Empty
[Verse 1: Flynn]
Misery, cover me in waves
This heartache is slowly
Withering, I become her slave
Succumb to the darkness
Suffocating like I'm drowning in sand
Depression's got me by her cold dead hands
Treachery, the choices you made
Cut my heart open with this golden blade

[Chorus: MacEachern]
My hands are empty, lies so petty
My hands are empty, kill me gently
[Verse 2: Flynn]
Medicate, I watched you slowly die
The powders and pills
Disintеgrate, you right before my еyes
The emptiness haunts me
Glass reflections of a cold dead stare
Ingesting chemicals of death with no care
Memories, they haunt me they stain
Of what you once meant to me before this pain

[Chorus: MacEachern]
My hands are empty, lies so petty
My hands are empty, kill me gently

[Bridge: Flynn]
I, I will not hide these scars of mine
Take away the shame
I, I will not be what's left behind
Find someone else to blame
Forgiveness, constricted
No longer human
A ghost in time

[Lead - Mader]

[Bridge: Flynn]
I, I will not hide these scars of mine
Take away the shame
I, I will not be what's left behind
Find someone else to blame
Forgiveness, constricted
No longer human
A ghost in time
[Chorus: MacEachern]
My hands are empty, lies so petty
My hands are empty, kill me gently
My hands are empty, lies so petty
My hands are empty, kill me gently

Unhallowed
[Intro]
I feel no one will ever listen
The remnants of an empty soul
The ghost of monumental failure
Unhallowed

[Refrain]
I feel no one will ever listen
The remnants of an empty soul
The ghost of monumental failure
Unhallowed
[Verse 1]
I lay in bed awake
The anguish slowly aches
I'm starring at a dark abyss and wondering why
Crawling back to the womb
My depression a tomb
There's a fog inside my mind
So much hatred and doom
When the dead roses bloom
As I sabotage my pride

[Pre-Chorus]
Mind is fading
Going crazy (Now)

[Chorus]
I feel dead inside
An empty soul
And what was once my life
Is unhallowed

[Refrain]
I feel no one will ever listen
The remnants of an empty soul
The ghost of monumental failure
Unhallowed
[Verse 2]
Time slipping through my hands
Like granules of sand
This rusted razor blade is looking all too kind
When I close my eyes
Thoughts of suicide
There's an ache inside my soul
Just a shell of a man
In these hopeless hands
Blackened heart is stitched and sewn

[Pre-Chorus]
Mind is fading
Going crazy (Now)

[Chorus]
I feel dead inside
An empty soul
And what was once my life
Is unhallowed

[Post-Chorus]
I will not collapse, strong against the pressure
This final relapse, defiant gesture
Headstrong I overcome, lion's den of enemies
Tight lips, play dumb, in the belly of the beast
Unbound rage, the punishment of concrete
Pure in hate, malevolence I will defeat
[Bridge 1]
From crimson sky, I am this dark eternity

[Bridge 2]
New life begins
When darkness dies, I'm born again
These frozen bones remind me I'm so
Cold and alone
For the shame, I've caused this throne
Broken crown, weighs me down
But my demons I can't drown

[Outro]
I feel no one will ever listen
The remnants of an empty soul
The ghost of monumental failure
Unhallowed
I feel no one will ever listen
The remnants of an empty soul
The ghost of monumental failure
Unhallowed

Assimilate
We must fight for what we believe in
No one is going to do it for us
We must do this ourselves
When we are hungry, we must be the hunters
When we are thirsty, we must drink their blood
We will either be killed by those who ask us to bow to them
Or we will be the ones who kill
We will kill the enemy

Kill Thy Enemies
[Intro]
Kill thy enemies
Forge your destiny
Love will set you free
Rise this dynasty

[Verse 1]
Bloody and belligerent, delusions made of their foment
Agonizing arrogance, white privilege and the folly of pride
These are the battles of time
Death cult, tired and blind
There is no comprise with their kind
This nation's vast divide
[Chorus]
Kill thy enemies
Forge your destiny
Love will set you free
Rise this dynasty

[Verse 2]
Traitors and sеditionists, betray our country to cultists
Hatred and maliciousness, Jim Crow and a Biblе of lies
My heart is turning to stone
Blood oath, iron, and bone
Remembering the wolves are at the gates
These fascists lie in wait
I'm asking you to heed the call

[Chorus]
Kill thy enemies
Forge your destiny
Love will set you free
Rise this dynasty
Our hearts will never bleed
Our strength will never cede
Iron and dignity
Manifest destiny

[Bridge]
Our hearts will never bleed
Our strength will never cede
Iron and dignity
Manifest destiny
[Chorus]
Kill thy enemies
Forge your destiny
Love will set you free
Rise this dynasty

[Outro]
Our hearts will never bleed
Our strength will never cede
Our hearts will never bleed
Our strength will never cede
Our hearts will never bleed
Our strength will never cede

No Gods, No Masters
[Verse 1]
The helm of awe and terror
Protector of the realm
Savior of all its bearer
In battles never fell
Behold the eye of conjuring
The demon's hell unleashed
Ascension lost in wandering
Our spirits facing East

Gomorrah's decadence
A feast of pain
Sodom a sanctuary
Across the plains
The common knowledge burned
To hell we're sent
Dying for dissidence
The punishment
[Chorus]
No gods, no masters
No lords above

[Verse 2]
Psalms to a broken idol
The elegies we sing
Praying to lust so carnal
Pleasure temptations bring
Silent and stoic faces
We curse the crimson sky
Our blood is slowly boiling
Knowing that we may die

Fractured and battered lives
We fed the curse
This chaos cavernous
Deep in the earth
The books of nevermore
They are the past
Crossing the Rubicon
The die is cast

[Chorus]
No gods, no masters
No lords above
No gods, no masters
No lords above
[Bridge]
We're past the point of no return
Religion's flame, watches the world burn
Unchain your life from Christianity
Unleash thy destiny

[Chorus]
No gods
No masters
Shall tell me how to live
No gods
No masters
Shall tell me how to live

No gods, no masters
No lords above
No gods, no masters
No lords above

Bloodshot
[Intro]
Bloodshot, bloodshot
My eyes are bleeding carnage
Bloodshot, bloodshot
Curse them all and make them bow
Bloodshot, bloodshot
My eyes are bleeding carnage
Bloodshot, bloodshot
Curse them all and make them bow

[Verse 1]
Acid rain, a nuclear fog
Inhumane, a crack in the cog
The wheels of my mind spinning, trapped in these hallucinations
Arteries bursting with hatred
Capillaries sickened by blood
Synapses spin a sonic vortex of our devastation
[Chorus]
Bloodshot, bloodshot
My eyes are bleeding carnage
Bloodshot, bloodshot
Curse them all and make them bow
Bloodshot, bloodshot
My eyes are bleeding carnage
Bloodshot, bloodshot
Curse them all and make them bow

[Verse 2]
Chemicals burning the ocean
Tentacles, strangling motion
Constricting around the neck, like fingers of a shattered soul
Fractal image splitting in horror
Fracking ripping holes in the soil
Fossils of centuries, spill our mother's sacred oil

[Chorus]
Bloodshot, bloodshot
My eyes are bleeding carnage
Bloodshot, bloodshot
Curse them all and make them bow
Bloodshot, bloodshot
My eyes are bleeding carnage
Bloodshot, bloodshot
Curse them all and make them bow
[Bridge]
Corrupting, disgusting
So vile and inhumane
Your profit and power
It's burning all the same

A storm is raging in a severed sky
The ice will melt and the seas will rise
Nowhere to run from the violent rage
Accept your wretched fate

[Chorus]
Bloodshot, bloodshot
My eyes are bleeding carnage
Bloodshot, bloodshot
Curse them all and make them bow
Bloodshot, bloodshot
My eyes are bleeding carnage
Bloodshot, bloodshot
Curse them all and make them bow

[Outro]
Bloodshot (Bloodshot)
Bloodshot (Bloodshot)
Bloodshot (Bloodshot)
Curse them all and make them bow
Bloodshot (Bloodshot)
Bloodshot (Bloodshot)
Bloodshot (Bloodshot)
Curse them all and make them bow

Rotten
My mouth is cracked and dry
The words are choking by
My teeth are gritting with this rage I'm feeling
My stomach tied in knots
Jaw clenched and muscles taut
About to explode inside the anger building

I've sat with the gun in hand
Barrel to temple, can't understand
Bleeding an open sore
These wounds I can't ignore
I am the misbegotten
Lest his horror be forgotten
Everything is rotten to the core
Everything is rotten to the core
Everything is rotten to the core

Black blood red pill
Razor and scar
Love cut hate kill
This is a war

I stare into the black
Anxiety attacks
My heart is racing
And my throat's constricting
With every cut and scrape
My skin it palpitates
Lying awake I feel the terror grip me

This nightmare never ends
Suffer my demons
Weather the bends
Drowning in misery
And negativity
Walk shores to the downtrodden
Anthems to the misbegotten

Everything is rotten to the core
Everything is rotten to the core
Everything is rotten to the core
Black blood red pill
Razor scars
Love cut hate kill
This is a war

Powerless
Life endless
Infected
Dejected

The lying liars say their spineless vile hypocrisy
The burning pyres blaze their timeless animosity

Will you stand beside me
And fight to change the world

Everything is rotten to the core

Powerless
Everything is rotten to the core
Life endless
Everything is rotten to the core
Infected
Everything is rotten to the core
Dejected

Terminus
- What I've become?

- You have created the world in which you live

- How could I have done this?

- You were only doing what you believed was right

- How could I forgive myself?

- The truth will set you free
- I accept my fate. Our souls must be set free

Arrows in Words from the Sky
Break the silence
The clouds lift in the dawn inside my mind
Is the darkness casting a reflection?
Staring at a broken mirror wanting⁠
Can't ever realize⁠
You say that you believe⁠
But do you know the reason why?⁠
Centuries of pain, under a paper sword⁠
Arrows in words from the sky⁠
⁠
Breaking dawn⁠
(I am reborn)⁠
Right the wrong⁠
(The ark of justice)⁠
Holding on⁠
(By a thread I’ll)⁠
Carry on⁠
And rise above this⁠

How you gently strip my confidence ⁠
Away⁠
How your sweet caress is black and blue and ⁠
Gray⁠
Archers at the ready, bows drawn aiming high⁠
Arrows in words from thе sky⁠

(Anthems to a)⁠
Frozen sun⁠
(Hеr cold will strengthen)⁠
Fighting on (This war, no more)⁠
(Lift up your brother)⁠
Night is long (My heart, so dark)⁠
Keep pushing through this⁠
⁠
Pain ⁠
How you gently strip my confidence ⁠
Away⁠
How your sweet caress is black and blue and ⁠
Gray⁠
Archers at the ready, bows drawn aiming high⁠
Arrows in words from the sky⁠

The sky is the darkest just before the dawn so keep the faith⁠
And wipe away your tears and wipe the spit off of your face⁠
A spirit's buried inside, you were meant to shine a light⁠
Glow incandescent, let them fear the fire burning bright⁠
⁠
Shine⁠
Burn your fire⁠
Bright⁠
Burn away the⁠

Pain ⁠
How you gently strip my confidence ⁠
