A Murder Of Crows (You're All Dead To Me)

Take me away
Take me away
Take me away

I'm getting sick of hypocrites saying nothing
Got a feeling that I don't belong
And you seem to feel like it's alright

Take your pick, dirty tricks, say you're bluffing
Takes a lifetime just to right the wrong
And I've never felt this, so alive

You're all dead to me
Gotta say it was nice to know you all
Take a look cause the writing's on the wall
You disappear but I survive

Don't believe that it's only black and white
It's written in all the diamonds of the night
And I've never felt this, so alive

You're all dead to me
You're all dead to me
You're all dead to me

Goddamn I'm Dead Again

Goddamn I'm dead again, woe is me
Seems to be that I'm a wanted man these days
I'm down that rabbit hole and I don't want to go

Rot in peace, down a dead-end street, I believe
I hear 'em call but they're ringing out of key
They're saying, "Listen boy, may God rest your soul"

Got a lease on borrowed time
It's catching up to me

(Now let it bleed)
It's off with his head and on with the show
The old king is dead, got one fatal blow
(I don't believe)
And I don't believe he will come back for more
Taking the crown of the brand new low

Take a look around you really blew it all to hell
What's the point of trying unless you're going to do it well
So get off my back if I'm a god damn misery
And let it bleed

(Now let it bleed)
It's off with his head and on with the show
The old king is dead, got one fatal blow
(I don't believe)
And I don't believe he will come back for more
Taking the crown of the brand new low
(Now let it bleed)
It's off with his head and on with the show
The old king is dead, got one fatal blow
(I don't believe)
And I don't believe he will come back for more
Taking the crown of the brand new low

Fake My Own Death

All bets are off but you still
Think that you've gotta a right well
Your lucky days are numbered now
(And you're to blame)
You built a castle of sand.
Shaking the devil's hand well
At least I've still got my soul to sell.

You've got to take me away
Cause I wanna feel (wanna feel)
Something that's real (thing that's real)
Help me escape
Cause I wanna be (I'll take my last breath)
Left to be free (I just wanna fake my own death)

You played your part of the whore
You got some kinda nerve or
Have you forgot I don't forget
(And you're too late)
You walk beside the dead where
The angels never tread well
At least I've still got a soul to sell.

You've got to take me away
Cause I wanna feel (wanna feel)
Something that's real (thing that's real)
Help me escape
Cause I wanna be (I'll take my last breath)
Left to be free (I just wanna fake my own death)

There's nowhere to run
From hell and above
I swear to a god that someday
There will be blood.

It all comes down in the end
In spite of me you do it all again.
It all comes down in the end
In spite of you I'll do it all again.

You've got to take me away
Cause I wanna feel (wanna feel)
Something that's real (thing that's real)
Help me escape
Cause I wanna be (I'll take my last breath)
Left to be free (I just wanna fake my own death)

Breaking The Chain

Here, as I stand, all the signs become so clear
To get back home again, sometimes I lose my way

Because I'm bound to fall
And just lose it all
Am I running out of time?

I'm breaking the chain from the life I knew
Beaten black and blue, it's time
To be face to face with the lies I choose
Throw the truth into the light
Make no mistake, I've paid my price
I've done my time with the devil in disguise
'Cause the life I knew has a different view
Tonight, I'm breaking the chain

Days pass me by like I'm saving wasted time
I'm not all right, I think I've fallen for the lie

And as it fades to black
I'm not looking back
I'm so blinded by the lights

I'm breaking the chain from the life I knew
Beaten black and blue, it's time
To be face to face with the lies I choose
Throw the truth into the light
Make no mistake, I've paid my price
I've done my time with the devil in disguise
'Cause the life I knew has a different view
Tonight, I'm breaking the chain

'Cause I'm done chasing, chasing yesterday
(I've lost the feeling)
Scars don't fade, they never go away
(And I'm still bleeding)

Every step that I take
All the chains that I break
It brings me one step closer

Breaking the chain

I'm breaking the chain from the life I knew
Beaten black and blue, it's time
To be face to face with the lies I choose
Throw the truth into the light
Make no mistake, I've paid my price
I've done my time with the devil in disguise
'Cause the life I knew has a different view
Tonight, I'm breaking the chain

I'm breaking the chain
I'm breaking the chain

There Will Be Blood

The little ones
We gotta control all the little ones
All the little ones
We'll take the souls of the little ones
And that might be you

Confess your sins of sorrow
Get on your knees and pray
Don't sell your souls on the open market
'Cause there will be hell to pay

We're gonna burn
We're gonna burn this down
There's no return
In all the words we vow

If I am the king, then you might be my fancy

The little ones
We gotta control all the little ones
All the little ones
We'll take the souls of the little ones
And that might be you

We don't believe it's over
The seasons of the dead
Just sell your souls for the lowest bargain
The price will be on your head

We're not alone
We're gonna bring you down
We'll take control
The new king is crowned

If I am the king, then you might be my fancy

The little ones
We gotta control all the little ones
All the little ones
We'll take the souls of the little ones
And that might be you

The little ones
We gotta control all the little ones
All the little ones
We'll take the souls of the little ones
And that might be you
The little ones
We gotta control all the little ones
All the little ones
We'll take the souls of the little ones
And that might be you

13 Voices

Where do I begin, 'cause my story's still untold
Left to be unwritten, like memories to unfold
And I don't believe the truth, it doesn't make me feel alive
The truth's just overrated, we've all got something to hide

Cause lies make it so much fun
So sing the praise of insincerity
Make this your last prayer
As the dream becomes your worst nightmare

I'm not your savior or a saint, no use praying for escape
I'll be there just to put the bullet in your head
Just another crying shame, life is such a deadly game
Gone wrong, fire at will, put a bullet in his head

Pay me no more mind, have I really come undone?
I left the world this evening, just to kill the sun
And I've got no more to bleed, all that's left will soon be gone
And especially before my mind fades like the stars at dawn

Well I bet you got a lot to say
So have it your way and crucify me
Make this your last prayer
As the dream becomes your worst nightmare

I'm not your savior or a saint, no use praying for escape
I'll be there just to put the bullet in your head
Just another crying shame, life is such a deadly game
Gone wrong, fire at will, put a bullet in his head

One last kiss to end all this
Before I say goodbye to all
Close my eyes, a sweet demise
A love that no one understands

And I don't believe in redemption
And no one will be spared
There's 32 ways you can die here tonight
It's a f*cking family affair

I'm not your savior or a saint, no use praying for escape
I'll be there just to put the bullet in your head
Just another crying shame, life is such a deadly game
Gone wrong, fire at will, put a bullet in his head

War

So what am I fighting for?
Everything back and more
And I'm not gonna let this go
I'm ready to settle the score
Get ready cause this is war

There are days that I think I'm crazy
Other days nothing seems to faze me
There's nothing more and nothing less
Just all the fears that I must confess well
I'm afraid I believe in nothing
No hopes or dreams you could've left me dead
Naive and not to mention
I'm losing count of all my blessings

With all that I've done, it's too late
I can't take back all that I have become

So all that I'm trying to say
I'm looking for a better way
Some days it just gets so hard
And I don't wanna slip away
So what am I fighting for?
Everything back and more
And I'm not gonna let this go
I'm ready to settle the score
Get ready cause this is war

Another day in the right direction
I'm ok but I'm left to question
How did I get so far behind the rest?
Why am I so inclined to forget?
All the days that you made me crazy
Nowadays you don't even faze me
It's all the same and I don't stress none
Sick and tired of all this tension

With all that I've done, it's too late
I can't take back all that I have become

So all that I'm trying to say
I'm looking for a better way
Some days it just gets so hard
And I don't wanna slip away
So what am I fighting for?
Everything back and more
And I'm not gonna let this go
I'm ready to settle the score
Get ready cause this is war

Get ready cause this is war
Get ready cause this is war

All that I'm trying to say
I'm looking for a better way
Some days it just gets so hard
And I don't wanna slip away
So what am I fighting for?
Everything back and more
And I'm not gonna let this go
I'm ready to settle the score
Get ready cause this is war

I'm looking for a better way
Some days it just gets so hard
And I don't wanna slip away
Get ready cause this is war
Everything back and more
And I'm not gonna let this go
I'm ready to settle the score
Get ready cause this is war

God Save Us All (Death To POP)

We have the passion of the unbroken
And our souls we will not sell
You can beat us down but when we come around
We'll damn you all to hell

Waiting for a sign, I guess I missed it on the way
I tried to walk the line but it's more than I could take
I get so tired of waiting; your signal's fading out
You're on the outside before you even know you're out of place

I've had enough and your time is up
So give me something, that one thing real
And I'll say yeah, cause I've been going out of my head again
Just waiting for a lifeline

Let me see you hold up your salute to the sky
While you sing it out, bleeding out your lungs til you die

Give it to me, give til you ain't got anymore
Cause I need it to believe it, that you got any soul
Give it to me give til you ain't got anymore
Pick your heart off the floor and scream it out
God save us all

I've given up the grudge, said all that I have to say
Show me how to judge and I'll find another way
I don't know how to fake it; I think I'm breaking down
Under the pressure, before you know it something's gotta give

I've had enough and your time is up
So give me something, that one thing real
And I'll say yeah, cause I've been going out of my head again
Just waiting for a lifeline

Let me see you hold up your salute to the sky
While you sing it out, bleeding out your lungs til you die

Give it to me, give til you ain't got anymore
Cause I need it to believe it, that you got any soul
Give it to me give til you ain't got anymore
Pick your heart off the floor and scream it out
God save us all

God save us all

We have the passion of the unbroken
And our souls we will not sell
You can beat us down but when we come around
We'll damn you all to hell

Let me see you hold up your salute to the sky
While you sing it out, bleeding out your lungs til you die

Give it to me, give til you ain't got anymore
Cause I need it to believe it, that you got any soul
Give it to me give til you ain't got anymore
Pick your heart off the floor and scream it out
God save us all

Let me see you hold up your salute to the sky
While you sing it out, bleeding out your lungs til you die
God save us all

Let me see you hold up your salute to the sky
While you sing it out, bleeding out your lungs til you die
God save us all

The Fall And The Rise

Hanging by a thread now, my head's down
Not feeling like myself now
The voices inside my head are getting too loud
(Screaming louder than a thousand drums)
I keep counting the days and I can't stop now
And I won't break down, I'm too proud
Let's give them shit to talk about
The pressure, the weight of the world won't keep me down
(This time I'm taking back what's mine)
It's been a long time coming and I just won't stop

Go!

Go ahead then try to break me
Like a rat in a race until the dawn
Go ahead then make them pay
It's time to take back the place where I belong

So, I'm done will all the chasing, I'm giving up on wasting
All my time with you, now I'm looking for salvation
I'm done with all the fake shit, getting hard to fake it
Cause I can't take it anymore so give me something sacred
I played the part of the villain but no apologies given
I came right back to the start, and it's about time for living
I've been to hell and back still, I've paid the devil his bills
And now I'm coming back stronger, and I'm shooting just to kill

Go ahead then try to break me
Like a rat in a race until the dawn
Go ahead then make them pay
It's time to take back the place where I belong
The place where I belong
The place where I belong

The place where I belong
And fade into the stars
The race until the dawn
And I just wanna take my place
The place where I belong
And fade into the stars
The race until the dawn
And I just wanna take my place
The place where I belong

(Won't stop)

Go ahead then try to break me
Like a rat in a race until the dawn
Go ahead then make them pay
It's time to take back the place where I belong
Go ahead then try to break me
Like a rat in a race until the dawn
Go ahead then make them pay
It's time to take back the place where I belong
The place where I belong
The place where I belong

Twisted By Design

I've got my scars to bear
Stitches just can't repair, woah
There's no one to blame this time
Absolution's waiting on a prayer

I'm breaking down the walls
Unveiling my share of faults, woah
This blood on my hands, is a blessing
In a lifetime, twisted by design
(But I'm so alive)

Is it a threat or the cure
Cause it's a brave new world
I don't know if I'm ready for
Just a test
Cause I'm miles up above you
Flying with no safety net
I don't believe in fate although
This time I think I've met my match
Why are the dreams so hard to catch

Cause you forget in time
What it feels inside
You live right on the line
(But I'm so alive)

They say believing is the hardest part
But I say with every beat of my heart
I alone will find my way
And get right back to the start
They say the fire in your heart is gone
But I say it's really only just begun
All along you know that I'm
I'm twisted by design
I'm twisted by design

I'm taking the days as they come
But now I'm seeing the world as if it had a thousand suns
I admit that there's somewhere along the lines
I guess I lost my grip
But luck has turned the page
And time is all I need to get things right
One more chance to catch the light

Cause you forget in time
What it feels inside
You live right on the line
(But I'm so alive)

They say believing is the hardest part
But I say with every beat of my heart
I alone will find my way
And get right back to the start
They say the fire in your heart is gone
But I say it's really only just begun
All along you know that I'm
I'm twisted by design
I'm twisted by design

Starting over again, but the further I get
I can't stop these walls from closing in
Going out of my head, all the tears that I've bled
They're not enough to take my pain away

They say believing is the hardest part
But I say with every beat of my heart
I alone will find my way
And get right back to the start
They say the fire in your heart is gone
But I say it's really only just begun
All along you know that I'm
I'm twisted by design

In some ways I've changed
And I've left it all behind
But I can't change the way
That I'm, I'm twisted by design
