Converge Album

We are all falling down
we are all falling
every word that you pray
makes another slave
every idol that you build
brings another plague
every cross that you bear
grows another grave
we are all falling down
we are all falling
down down down
we are all falling
under the weight
of our heartache
under the weight
of their mistakes

For lost hope and his son
i’ll avenge what once was
for his name and his love
these cold hands spill their blood
grant me the strength
to stand up straight
to make them pay
spill their blood
grant me the strength
to bear this weight
show me the way
spill their blood

Hit the lights
i’ve had enough
guilt to build a city
shame to fill a sea
reasons to give up and lose everything
regret to burn this body
filth to cut these hands
reasons to bury this and everything we have
hit the lights
just hit the lights
i don’t care anymore

Enemies eve
burn to believe
guns in the ground
are all i see
love liars thieves
all targets to me
jaws at my heels
mean nothing to me
knives at your throats
all that i see
don’t doubt me
i am vengeance
i’m built for war

[No lyrics]

In vein and valor
be what they fear
their days are over
our nights are here
with hate and heartache
i’ll strike you down
with rage and rapture
i crush your crown
no more gods
no more graves
no more love
no more hate
hell hammer comes down
onto their blade
our world of widows
needs to be saved
it’s now or never
victim or victory
rebel or regret
who you are and who you claim to be
no more heroes
no more
no more
in my world of enemies
i walk alone

Dark days
greet us
with teeth
with claws
her wings climb
cold eyes
gaze wide
with awe
with spite
everyone
everywhere
every beast
every man
pays her price

When i see me in your eyes
i just want to go blind
when i build coffin worlds with words
i just want a place to hide
when old ghosts meet new regrets
my daylight fades to grey
when our days bring guilt and shame
my heart turns black
these are my tombs
painted black and blue
these are my tombs painted
just for you
goodnight
goodnight dear
goodbye
black rose
be my light
in the darkness of nights
be my heart

Bright eyes fading
young eyes beaten
to black and blue
sunrise has been sinking since i was two
one wounded and another dead
i’ve spent years
building these walls
when all of this time
my sky has been falling
burden to bare
this anger is
empty but heavy
my heart carries
the weight of your world
my wounds are open
i am out of blood

From a victim to a friend
don’t ever let them in
keep your scars on your sleeve
and your heart in your hands
all the whores with their wars
their gaping mouths want more
all of them choke on regret
we sit in silence
dead or dedicated
alive or medicated
a coward queen or harlot heart
it’s up to you
this world owes you nothing
this world owes me nothing
this world owes us nothing
but a hard road to walk
these mountains that we climb
is everything they’ve lost
this world owes us nothing
but a hard road to walk
these mountains that we move
are everywhere we look
it’s all up to me and you

It’s us versus them
just us versus them
jaws are biting at your heels
we hunt you in bad dreams
we know just what you are
and the secrets that you keep
cloven hoof is pounding
faster than your heart
strength in desperation
and the sting of loss
time to cut them down
it’s us versus them
time to take a stand
it’s us versus them

In pure ghost white
i see what was mine
drowned in jet black
that haunts your shadows
endless night begins
this forked road now bends
a forked tongue appears
to lead us astray
all this that i have
is all that you are
cutting for love
a new trophy scar
just not worth the tears
and the penance
not worth the blood
that we both pour
i want to live
without the guilt we give
i want to die without this pain
i want to live
without the guilt we give
i want to die
without your name
without this pain
born to burn
with hell to pay
born to burn
we will someday

In cold blood
i claim this day
i charge blind
into the fray
in the name
of all my pain
i bare my teeth
to make him pay
i sink on down
and greet her end
with the worms
and the dead
with serpent strength
and true hate
i bare my teeth
to make her pay
maw mends
i take flight
for one last time
with raven wings
and two black eyes
don’t be afraid
with demon speed
the gift of hate
i bare my teeth
to make them pay
don’t be afraid
nowhere to hide

To the lions
as she closes her doors
to end this night
this raging sea
won’t have you
this weary grave
won’t keep you
these tired arms
won’t hold you
as she closes her doors
to the lions
inferno dreams
won’t leave you
this moonless night
won’t guide you
these brittle ghosts
won’t love you
as she closes her doors
queen of guilt
queen of grief
remember them
