1. FOR HONOR

I have served you faithfully
All I ask is remember me

2. THE HALLOWS

To live is to die 
Entrenched in a sacrifice 
I’ve always prepared for this day 
Stand aside my child 
Forfeit my soul for your sake 

This battlefield 
Is my hallowed ground 

Lay down 
My life 
Stay down 
Discarding the cloak of a liar 

Lay down 
My life 
Stay down 
Oblivion awaits 

A cursed mask defined me 
I bore the full brunt of your hate 
Shoulder this burden 
As an unwilling villain 
I’ll choke on my tears in your name 

This battlefield 
Is my hallowed ground 

Lay down 
My life 
Stay down 
Discarding the cloak of a liar 

Lay down 
My life 
Stay down 
Oblivion awaits 

Lay down 
My life 
Stay down 
Discarding the cloak of a liar 

Lay down 
My life 
Stay down 
Oblivion awaits

3. THE STRAIN

My pupils are dilating 
I can feel the hunger rising 
As I shred my broken nails through your quivering flesh 
Gnashing teeth 
Around your throat 
As we tear you limb from limb 

Run screaming to our deities 
From catastrophe that we have made 
Apocalyptic arrogance 
Has sealed our fate
Pestilential consequences
A devil in a needle with a trial in a vial 

This plague is tailor-made 

Release the strain 

It’s coursing through my veins 
I’ll never be the same 
Watch through crimson eyes 
And ask the heavens 

Why 
Why 

Harnessing the chaos 
Are a million rotting hands 
We had no choice in this decision 
Or the path that has been laid 
A writhing chorus beckoning 
To feast on life while threatening 
Enacting wretched vengeance 
Is the only recourse left 

Run screaming to our deities 
From catastrophe that we have made 
Apocalyptic arrogance 
Has sealed our fate
Pestilential consequences
A devil in a needle with a trial in a vial 

This plague is tailor-made 

Release the strain 

It’s coursing through my veins 
I’ll never be the same 
Watch through crimson eyes 
And ask the heavens 

Why 

God Why 

THE STRAIN HAS CHANGED 

It’s coursing through my veins 
I’ll never be the same 
Watch through crimson eyes 
And ask the heavens 

WHY 

4. SLAVE TO THE SPECTACLE

You can’t breathe 
Unless you feed 
A thrall that’s enslaved 
To a pointless need 

Feast your eyes 
On gilded lies 
This empty facade 
Is your dream’s demise  

Always crave more 
Nothing else is worth living for 

Observe the specimen beneath the glass 
Claim your days 

You’ve chained your wrists 
And clenched your fists 
You want the rewards 
Without the risks 

An empty husk 
That hunts for crumbs 
The glass and the light 
Has left you numb 

Always crave more 
Nothing else is worth living for 

Observe the specimen beneath the glass 
Claim your days 

Catalyst for jealousy 
Bound by lust for what you see 
Catalyst for jealousy 
Bound by lust for what you see 

You’ll always crave more 
And more 
You’ll always need more 
And more 

Observe the specimen beneath the glass 
Claim your days
