Trudge through the ash and the dirt,
This place we don’t deserve.
We all sit like cowards,
Ready to conform.
The loss of courage inside,
Disgust has taken our mind.
The utter lack of emotion, staring blankly with cold dead eyes.
And when the well runs dry - we'll fill it full of human waste.
And when the well runs dry - we'll fill it full of human waste.
We can’t go on like heathens, burning and churning every shred of life.
The utter lack of emotion, staring blankly with cold dead eyes.
And when the well runs dry - we'll fill it full of human waste.
And when the well runs dry - we'll fill it full of human waste.
And do you not feel ashamed?
We treat each other like fucking shit,
And when the well runs dry it will be the end.
What did this planet do to deserve this?
It’s too late
It's too late
And when we leave this planet there will be nothing left but a barren earth.
And when the well runs dry - we'll fill it full of human waste.
And when the well runs dry - we'll fill it full of human waste.
And do you not feel ashamed?
We treat each other like fucking shit,
And when the well runs dry it will be the end.
It will be the end of us.

Don't bleed for them - bleed for yourself.
There is so much pain and anguish that plagues the land,
So many fending off death with every breath of air.
oh
Our masters rule minds with lies and fear,
Content to never see or hear.
Told what to say and how to think,
We strive for a life pulled by strings.
This veil of death covers all
who dare to dream - don't you dare dream.
They've drained our insides of life,
Disposable, good for nothing.
We must fight through glazed eyes, yeah.
This veil of death covers all
who dare to dream - don't you dare dream.
They've drained our insides of life,
Disposable, good for nothing.
Blegh
Don't bleed for them - bleed for yourself.
erhhhhhh
Sea of beggars
on the ground.

My vessel, left empty.
What will happen when I leave this world?
Will it all be for nothing?
Nothing!
There are two things I'm certain of;
We all suffer, we all die alone.
Hang this vile creation by it's tendons, cut its throat to drain it of its fluids.
Kick the lifless carcass to the side, watch it start to fester, bloat and rise.
My vessel, left empty.
What will happen when I leave this world?
Will it all be for nothing?
Nothing!
VILE.
VILE.
Right for the throat!
Dead man walking!
My vessel, left empty.
What will happen when I leave this world?
Will it all be for nothing?
My vessel, left empty.
What will happen when I leave this world?
Will it all be for nothing?
Nothing!

Trapped here amongst the filth.
Wow, the madness of life
Has exstinguished the flame,
And devoured me whole.
I can't help but feel alone,
Knelt before this faceless horror.
This faceless horror.
Trapped in this loveless dance.
Trapped.
We're all dying so whats the point?
Set me down and make me mute.
We're all dying so whats the point?
Set me down and make me mute.
Mute
Life
Roar, the madness of life
Has exstinguished the flame,
And devoured me whole.
And I am afraid -
The sky above,
I sit beneath,
Will fall on me.
Oh
Trapped in this loveless dance.
Trapped in this loveless dance.
Trapped in this loveless dance.
I feel like
This world it wants to poison me,
Nothing in life can come for free.
Through faith is were i shall bleed,
Knelt down in constant agony, misery.
Misery.
Ergah
I sit in torment alone.
The darkness forever growing.
The darkness forever.

Oh
Eugh
Heartless all around won't pull me down,
A dime a dozen worth nothing.
Heartless all around won't pull me down,
A dime a dozen worth nothing.
Blegh
Ohhh
They anchor the living to the depths.
Oh
They use the desperate for benefit.
The scent of decomposing flesh entices.
The scent of decomposing flesh entices.
Wow
They anchor the living to the depths.
Oh
They use the desperate for benefit.
Blegh
You're so untrue, your own skin doesn't trust you.
You're so untrue, your own skin doesn't trust you.
You're so untrue, your own skin doesn't trust you.
Lay in torment,
While I watch you suffer,
Alone.
Alone.

Everyday i consume what is left of this dying light.
Contort until you feel your bones crack into place, complete an accepted form.
It's what they can gain from you, these so called friends that surround you.
Trust in life is earned, being deceived won't go unheard.
I stay awake at night dreaming of bathing in blood.
Like a lamb led to the slaughter again,
I've been persuaded to bury my head.
In the dirt i forget my self worth,
Have i learnt nothing from the woe and the hurt.
Go with your gut feeling, if their flesh is rotting
they'd be better of fed to the pigs at the trough -
waiting for their next steaming pile of slop, lets go.
oh yeah
Their next steaming pile.
This monster wrapped in skin needs to feed.
This well known blackened thing has to feed.
This monster wrapped in skin needs to feed.
This well known blackened thing has to feed.
Like a lamb led to the slaughter again,
I've been persuaded to bury my head.
In the dirt i forget my self worth,
Have i learnt nothing from the woe and the hurt.
This self loathing,
Punishment of my own reflection I hold.
This reflection I hold.
This reflection I hold.
