Immolation - Shadows In The Light Album Lyrics

---

Hate's Plague

Rise and take shape through fear
Twisting the sword of hate
Bringing the bloodshed it so desires
While leading us into the dark

A cancer, a scourge, a plague
Using the world as it's host
Unnoticed, it grows and festers
Its malevolence will go unchallenged

Casting night on God's domain
Haunting presence that shadows life
Exhaling death without grace
Burning chaos on the promise land

Raging through the good of man
Tearing our souls at every end
Vengeful, furious, unstoppable force
Determined to makes its stand

Passion Kill

Warm your souls, burn your hearts
Speak the word, speak the lies
Repeat the prayers, repent the sins
Can you believe, can you kill

The clash of saviors and the clash of men
In a time of worry and a time of war
Arm the masses and disarm the truth
As the pious bask in a holy fervor

Find their way, lose themselves
Find your faith, lose your mind
Give your trust, take your chance
Heaven promised, death achieved

Tyrannical rule in the name of god
Thirsty for territory and thirsty for blood
Creating the myth while creating the mayhem
As the world endures another era in suffering

Passion lives
Passion grows
Passion hates
Passion Kills

God will embrace you
God will raise you
God will comfort you
God will save you

God will punish you
God will torture you
God will silence you
God will destroy you

Passion lives
Passion grows
Passion hates
Passion Kills

World Agony

War on our hands, war on our minds
Beat on the drums, beaten our hopes
Nothing is left, nothing is gained
Angry at one, angry at all

World in Agony, World in pain
World in Anger, World of shame

The error of man, the error of faith
Shaping tomorrow, destroying today
Nothing ahead, nothing to be
Anger is one, anger is all

World in Agony, World in pain
World in Anger, Word insane

Cursing ourselves, causing our death
Abusing the earth, it's coming apart
Can we undo, what we have done
Before we undo, what we become

The earth is bitter
The earth is black
What have we done
There's no going back

Tarnished

Spoil the soul, Spoil the flesh
Inhaling sin to survive
Leaving grace behind

Feel the dirt under your skin
Feel the filth work it's way in

Long gone is the purity
Lust and indulgence thrive
Your heart's now black and dark

Feel the dirt under your skin
Feel the filth work it's way in
Feel the steel piercing your flesh
Feel the surge taking your breath
Feel the blood pump in your veins
Feel the rush that drives you insane

Fouled by your selfish ways, Fouled by your arrogant bliss
Fouled by the mistakes you've made, Fouled by the poison you take
Banished by the ones you loved, Banished by the ones you trust
Banished from your house of faith, Banished by the God you praised

You are the guilty
You are the shamed
You took the good
Threw it away
Destroyed your life
And those you've betrayed
You have been tarnished
A life now tarnished

Desperate now to cleanse your soul, Desperate now to save your soul
Fallen down you've lost control, Fallen down you've failed them all
Tortured by the envy that grows, Tortured by the anger that flows
Hurt is now all you will know, Hurt is now your only absolute

You are the guilty
You are the shamed
You took the good
Threw it away
Destroyed your life
And those you've betrayed
You have been tarnished
Forever tarnished

The Weight Of Devotion

Dragging me down, there's nothing left of this broken man
Bearing this weight, it weakens me day by day
Try to find change, but I'm looking through jaded eyes
Leave me here, I know no other way to live

Using the fear... to suffer the pain
Driven by rage... in this manic mind
A life of service... a life in ruin
Shattered so slowly... ever so completely

I've given so much... it's stolen my soul
I'm nothing at all... it defines my being
The pleasures of life... elude me still
Cast me out... cast me down

The hate inside me... overcomes the world
It empowers me... It elevates me

My devotion blinds me... the darkness finds me
Heavy on me... weighing down on me

This devotion drives me... my actions haunt me
Crushing me... crushing down on me

Breathing The Dark

It lets no light in
It feeds on my pain
I try to feel something
Numbness is all that's left
With every breath
Another piece of me is gone
As if life is leaving me
Leaving nothing behind

Try to hold on
My spirit is gone
Panic runs through me
Fighting the suffering

It spites me
Entices me
It leads me on
Then crushes my dreams
It leaves me hollow
Pulling me deeper
It has no compassion
It wants full control

Try to hold on
My spirit is gone
Fighting to overcome
But every battle is lost

Breathe in the dark
It's all that's here
Breathe in the loss,
Awaken the fear
In this dark place
Tasting my tears
Ripping my mind
Now madness becomes me

Take this sickness away
It drains me, it aches me,
It pulls all hope from me
Like walls it surrounds me
It towers above me
Keeps drawing me in
Showing no love,
but loving my sin

Breathe in the dark
It's all that's here
Breathe in the loss
Awaken the fear
In this dark place
Tasting my tears
What once was is gone
Now misery becomes me

Deliverer Of Evil

Shadow
Soldier
Silent
Predator

Take down the master
Take down the throne
Bring them their heads
Send a message to the world

Sinister
Warrior
Faceless
Killer

Take out the king
Take out the kingdom
Paralyze their power
Send a message to the world

Gave you the power
Gave you control
Fail the people
And you will fall

Faiths collide, social unrest
Clear the air, force the change
Dusk will bring the serpent's kiss
Never see another dawn

Take down the master
Take down the throne
Bring them their heads
Send a message to the world

Shadows In The Light

See what they've done
Imagine what's to come
Already inside
They've come to take it all away

Moving in shadows
Masking their rage
A violent breed
Bringing the world to it's knees
Deep in our soil
Spreading their seed
They'll never give in
Until we are all in our graves

Hiding among us
Harvesting death
Turmoil ensues
The world, runs frantic, with war

Building their walls, to entrap us all
Architects of ruin, imprisoning all

Spreading the fear, to further their cause
Messengers of light, crushing all

Waiting in shadows, for the time to strike,
Dormant empire, growing strong

Inch by inch, mile by mile
Silent legion, the world will fall

Don't close your eyes,
Or all will be lost, ...forever

Lying With Demons

You thought, you knew me, I proved you wrong
Never saw, it coming, now feel my scorn
My grasp will tighten around the ones I seek
Deceiver of many, I shall ensnare the weak

So contemptuous, and so malign
So righteous, and so divine
Releasing my force, I hear the cries
Devastate the angelic, watch the shadows rise

Breathing wrath with tongues of fire
Breaking the frail with ferocious desire
Lashing out havoc with hands of iron
Unveiling death with this poison soul

The Devil's in me, we are one
Guiding our hearts, leading us all
Tempt the masses, my demons rage
I am the chosen whose victims will fall

Laying waste to all
With my wicked fever
The demons are in me
We are one

Whispering Death

Sweeping the land,
Like a desert storm
Reaping the lands,
Like a violent storm
It will call on us all
The fallen, the shrewd
It will deliver us all
The holy, the cursed

To never pass judgment
It shows no sympathy
To never be beaten
It accepts no refusal
One by one
It will swallow our souls
One by one
It will own our souls

Whispering death, you will find us all
You inhale the damned and rip out their souls
Taking the precious and taking the brave
You gather the blessed and lay them to rest
Whispering death, you devour us all
Feast on the greedy and show them true lust
Herding the mighty, the weak and the crazed
Assassin of time, enforcer of fate

The body, the essence, of all life now fades
There is no escape, from the silence that waits
