• 1. Beneath the Surface (04:12)
   copy

  The stains on your altar have yet to dry
  But power is something you have yet to find
  It's the blunt stone that makes the sharpest knife
  A higher state for a lower life
  
  Finally reached the surface
  But there is nothing here for us
  Yeah
  
  So we descend
  And we're staying down
  No face to our names
  You embody everything we renounce
  
  Rotting souls caught in the throws of a
  Lifetime of endless cycles of abuse
  Clawed to the surface just to retrace my steps
  We cut our throats just to spite our own fucking necks
  
  So we descend
  And we're staying down
  No face to our names
  You embody everything we renounce
  
  Tread carefully
  This world could swallow you
  Spit you out at the mouth of hell
  Under no one
  Under no illusion
  You have turned us antihuman
  
  Tread carefully

  Spit you out at the mouth of hell
  Under no one
  Under no illusion
  You have turned us antihuman
  
  So we descend
  And we're staying down
  No face to our names
  You embody everything we renounce

  Hands on the wall
  Or stand on your feet
  Keep you safe
  Keep you free from experiencing
  Skin
  Touch
  Tell me when you've had enough
  If this is overwhelming wait and see what's to come
  
  Claw at the surface but nothing comes out
  So you scratch a little deeper
  If there was a doubt
  Turn blood into water
  To cleanse your insides
  Now you don't know who you are
  You have been replaced
  
  Now it's all erased
  I realise we're nothing
  So close to being perfect
  Here's your parting gift
  
  Repressed then and repressed now
  Life is getting harder but we can't see how
  Medicated by ones and zeros
  Starve the mind and the body follows
  Depleted, deprived
  Everything eliminated inside
  
  Claw at the surface but nothing comes out
  So you scratch a little deeper
  If there was a doubt
  Turn blood into water
  To cleanse your insides
  But you don't know who you are
  You have been replaced
  
  Now it's all erased
  I realise we're nothing
  So close to being perfect
  Here's your parting gift
  
  Reanimate the dead
  New flesh glorified
  Staring back at you
  Seven heads
  Seven eyes
  Scream into the void
  Until our faces turn red
  It's never too late for you to hang your fucking head
  
  What am I looking at?
  Fucking nothing
  Close my eyes, felt a breath
  At least it's something real
  Tell me what it takes
  To sleep soundly these days
  One eye over your shoulder
  The other on your grave
  
  Take a bow
  You're a god now
  Rags to riches
  Riches to new skin
  You must be proud
  "You should kill for this"
  It will kill for you
  It will kill
  It will kill you too
  
  Now it's all erased
  I realise we're nothing
  So close to being perfect
  Here's your parting gift
  
  Erased
  Erased
  Erased
• 3. All Glory, No Valour (03:13)
   copy

  The world doesn't owe us a thing
  So in turn expect nothing
  For once just keep your thoughts within
  Don't hold your breath again
  
  In this world you despise
  Your rejection magnified
  
  All glory, no valour
  Everything you wish for shatters
  All glory, no valour
  Nothing you say fucking matters
  
  You crave adulation
  But garner no respect
  The world knows your lies
  You just don't know it yet
  
  All glory, no valour
  Everything you wish for shatters
  All glory, no valour
  
  You beg for a seat at the table of kings
  kings
  
  The taste of blood lingers on your lips
  Only a fool would wish for this
  
  All glory, no valour
  All glory, no fucking valour
  All glory, no valour
  All glory, no fucking valour
  
  Everything you wish for shatters
  
  The world doesn't owe us a thing
  So in turn expect nothing
  You had your time to be
  A name worth remembering
  
  All glory, no valour
  Everything you wish for shatters
  All glory, no valour
  Nothing you say fucking matters
  
  Only fools wish for a sit at the table of kings
• 4. Lacerations (04:55)
   copy

  Paranoia taking hold of me
  All my thoughts dismantling
  Carried away on a tide of nothing
  The fear of what could be happening
  
  Do you feel it too?
  The group opening
  The clouds of judgement, suffocating
  
  Are you alive
  Living with a sinking feeling
  It's so hard to find
  Tell me it's not too late
  
  Are you alive
  Or is it just a chemical feeling
  Won't you feed me a lie
  Tell me it's not too late
  
  Do you feel it too?
  The group opening
  The clouds of judgement, suffocating
  
  You try and kill your shadow
  But it engulfs you
  Frozen like bait
  Your demons await
  
  Are you alive
  Or is it just a chemical feeling
  Won't you feed me a lie
  Tell me it's not too late
  Are you satisfied
  Living with a sinking feeling
  Won't you tell me I'm fine
  Tell me that my wounds aren't so bad
  
  Frozen still in the throes of suffocation
  Every thought becomes a laceration
  
  Look through my eyes, you'll begin to see
  That the world before you
  Is not the same for me
  
  Are you alive
  Or is it just a chemical feeling
  Won't you feed me a lie
  Tell me it's not too late
  Are you satisfied
  Living with a sinking feeling
  Won't you tell me I'm fine
  Tell me that my wounds aren't so bad
• 5. Mirror Mirror (03:38)
   copy

  True conviction is hard to find
  Purity is not in our design
  Find a voice with which you can align
  If there's somebody with a conscience then give me a sign
  
  No man is without sin and I know mine
  Some values are lost through the passage of time
  Bathed in greed (greed), consort with swine (swine)
  It's hard to find somebody with a fucking spine
  
  You have to dig for gold through the mounds of dirt
  And bite your tongue just to hold your worth
  
  Shedding (shedding)
  Changing (changing)
  Remove your skin, are you still the same?
  Mirror (mirror)
  To your soul (to your soul)
  Which mask best deceives them all?
  
  Breathe deep, it's corruption you smell
  Angel wings with one foot in hell
  You've not acted on the words you implore
  Forgive me, Father, I've been keeping score
  
  Hate fuels hate and it paved the way
  From the rats in the sewers to the birds of prey
  Given the chance you will always take
  But I don't see a man, I see a fucking snake
  
  Shedding (shedding)
  Changing (changing)
  Remove your skin, are you still the same?
  Mirror (mirror)
  To your soul (to your soul)
  Which mask best deceives them all?
  
  (Mirror mirror mirror)
  (Mirror mirror mirror)
  Remove your fucking skin
  
  No one is above
  But maybe some are below
  No one is above sin
  But the loudest mouths never hold their worth
  
  Shedding (shedding)
  Changing (changing)
  Remove your skin, are you still the same?
  Mirror (mirror)
  To your soul (to your soul)
  Which mask best deceives them all?
  
  Shedding (shedding)
  Changing (changing)
  Remove your skin, are you still the same?
  Mirror (mirror)
  To your soul (to your soul)
  Which mask best deceives them all?
  
  You need a mirror (mirror), mirror (mirror)
  You need a mirror (mirror), you fucking snake

• 6. Spared from the Guillotine (03:55)
   copy

  Cold spit, eyes filled with grit
  Caught in spiritual deficit
  Running from your own shadow
  Body and mind are split
  
  So break everything around me
  'Cause I’ve been living under a glass ceiling
  With a foot upon me
  So don’t you take my precious time from me
  
  I’ve got nothing left to spare
  But time won’t spare you from the guillotine
  
  Cut down size
  Can’t read behind my eyes
  What you never see
  All you need to know
  In fire baptised
  
  Hanging by a thread
  Living under threat
  
  Nulify
  Fight for everything breath I leave behind
  So cough it up
  I’ll take it and be done
  Wrong place wrong fucking time
  Don’t lower my vibration
  You’re stood where I drew the line
  
  Drop
  Await the sting of the guillotine
  Sycthe
  The scythe’s remorseless swing
  Time
  No one is spared
  Once you shatter you won’t be put back together
  
  Falling deeply asleep in the fire
  And they’re all building your pyre
  Nothing to give
  Nothing to give
  So swallow it down
  
  I’ve got not time to suffer a fool
  There’s a line drawn between me and you
  Nothing to give
  Nothing to give
  You had my time now you get nothing
• 7. Adorn My Throne (04:18)
   copy

  You were wearing the skin of God
  When you finally fell to earth
  Your disciples were lost in the flood
  Eyes like daggers drenched in blood
  
  Now we bathe in your crimson death
  
  My trophies are of flesh and of bone
  I want your head to adorn my throne
  You stole a part of me that has now grown cold
  I never asked for much, I just want your soul
  
  I want your fucking head
  Head
  
  Cut out your tongue, push it down your throat
  Unclench your fists and succumb to the one you loathe
  
  Never the victim, always the spurned
  Now we rejoice as the table's turned
  Watch you sink like another wreck
  Fill the streets with the blood from your neck
  
  My trophies are of flesh and of bone
  I want your head to adorn my throne
  You stole a part of me that has now grown cold
  I never asked for much, I just want your soul
  
  Savour what you take (what you take)
  I hope it serves you well (serves you right)
  Don't come crawling back
  This is farewell
  
  My trophies are of flesh and of bone
  I want your head to adorn my throne
  Give me [?] just enough to feel whole
  I never asked for much, I just want your soul
  
  I just want your fucking head
• 8. The New Flesh (04:05)
   copy

  Sentenced (sentenced), sentenced to outlive
  This skin and bone we're in
  Jaws open wide, to receive your life
  Sinew and flesh expired
  I sense a deep awakening
  Under the skin
  Time will now stand still
  A new era begins
  
  Immortal coil, internal war
  From physical, to immaterial
  It only serves us to remind
  We all corrode with time
  
  Born of our new cells
  Outlive what was suppressed
  Now open your eyes
  Manifestation of the new flesh
  Our souls will reignite
  Not decay unless
  We redefine
  Manifestation of the new flesh
  
  No control held over us
  Your soul, engrossed
  Swallowed by eternity
  
  Born of our new cells
  Outlive what was suppressed
  Now open your eyes
  Manifestation of the new flesh
  Our souls will reignite
  Not decay unless
  We redefine
  Manifestation of the new flesh
  
  Helpless voices, calling for respite
  When they reach out their hands, reality bites
  Nerves tied, cauterised, the only life inside
  Emerging through the minds eye
  
  Manifestation of the new flesh
• 9. Everywhere at Once (05:26)
   copy

  Do I give you a false sense of security?
  A broken shield, what a pity
  I wrote it down so you'll never forget
  So when I'm not there you can always read it
  
  What if I was always around?
  Would I still let you down?
  What if I could be everywhere at once?
  
  Every breath is like a twisting knife in my side
  Take me back, take me back, I'm begging, don't leave me here
  It's a long way home, you know I can't part the sea
  When I leave, I leave all that matters to me
  
  Marbled eyes, just like your mother
  Without the demons that wrestle your father
  I never wanted it to feel like I choose this over you
  (Choose this over you)
  
  Every breath is like a twisting knife in my side
  Take me back, take me back, I'm begging, don't leave me here
  I can almost feel your hands, you know I can't part the sea
  When I leave, I leave all that matters to me
  
  Close your eyes and I'll close mine
  Imagine we're in the same place at the same time
  
  Every breath is like a twisting knife in my side
  Take me back, take me back, I'm begging, don't leave me here
  I can almost feel your hands, but I can't part the sea
  When I leave, I leave all that matters to me
  
  And it feels like a knife in my side
  Nothing changes when I close my eyes
  I'll just keep telling myself, "just one more breath"
  It's a long way back and I can't part the sea
  When I leave, I leave all that matters to me
  
  What if I was always around?
  Would I still let you down?
  What if I could be everywhere at once?
• 10. Circle of Swords (03:54)
   copy

  Everywhere I turn, there's a blade to my throat
  Everyone I know is now out for blood
  If that's what you want then fucking take some
  In the blade you'll see your true reflection
  
  Now stood in the circle of swords
  Now kneel before your new God
  Stood in the circle of swords
  Now serve your new Lord
  
  Whispers of your intent made their way through the air
  All your shields are gone, now you're stood here
  You'll never drain me, never leave a scar
  And now I know who you truly are
  
  Stood in the circle of swords
  Now kneel before your new God
  Stood in the circle of swords
  Now praise your new Lord
  
  Rust, untouchable by their claws
  Recomposed and prepared for war
  
  Aimless, faceless
  Beg they have mercy on your soul
  
  Stood in the circle of swords
  Now kneel before your new God
  Stood in the circle of swords
  Now praise your new Lord
  
  No matter how hard you try to push through
  You're only creating a self-inflicted wound
• 11. Seeds in the River (05:25)
   copy

  Do my eyes deceive me or has it really been
  So many times round the sun, living like we have impunity
  A desperate clutch of despair clinging to existence
  When I don't know what waits for me there
  
  One last deep inhale
  Remove the dust under the stone
  I return again
  
  (Woah oh) We're all seeds in the river
  (Woah oh) Washed away like we were never here
  (Woah oh) Maybe we'll all be delivered
  But it's all I can do not to fight this feeling
  
  I've known a lot of faces, and some are long gone
  New memories replace those who sang their swansong
  A desperate clutch of despair clinging to existence
  When I don't know just what waits for me here
  
  If I could write a letter to my former self
  It would just read "accept the hand you've been dealt
  Resilence is a weapon, and you'll find your better self
  It's in the eyes of someone else."
  
  (Woah oh) We're all seeds in the river
  (Woah oh) Washed away like we were never here
  (Woah oh) Maybe we'll all be delivered
  But it's all I can do not to fight this feeling
  
  Eyes heavy but on we move blindly in the dark
  I can't help but think of all the time I spent waiting for life to start
  So focused on failing, I never took the time to savour
  All the things I took for granted, I wish that I could come back braver
  
  One day you will look back
  And wish for a dull moment
  A deeper connection
  That's what keeps you tethered
  Keep your head above the waves
  Ride it out for as long as you can take
  There's enough tragedy to pull you down
  But we've all seen darker days
  
  We're all seeds in the river
  Washed away like we were never... here
  Maybe we'll all be delivered
  But it's all I can do not to fight this feeling
  
  (Woah oh) We're all seeds in the river
  (Woah oh) Washed away like we were never here
  (Woah oh) Maybe we'll all be delivered
  But it's all I can do not to fight this feeling
