The Birth of Tragedy (2018)
1. VIGIL
ARISE
There’s nothing here that’s left for me
I’m cold but I’m not blind
It’s said that death will set you free
Why won’t they honor mine?
Oathbreaker
Savior
No future in sight (Traitor)
Oathbreaker (Traitor)
Savior
A bastard, undone (Traitor)
Can’t bear to see you fall
So far beyond the wall
And now my watch has ended
Take care, the night’s descending
Return before the evening comes
On roads we’ve left behind
I’ll never make it on my own
I need you by my side
Oathbreaker (Traitor)
Savior
No future in sight (Traitor)
Oathbreaker (Traitor)
Savior
A bastard, undone (Traitor)
Can’t bear to see you fall
So far beyond the wall
And now my watch has ended
Take care, the night’s descending
Dishonor, disgrace
A curse upon your name
AZOR AHAI
ARISE (Traitor)
2. AT THE HORIZON
Ripped away
Beyond my grasp
Beside myself
The light is failing me
No time
Left to say
My hopes for you
Go on without me
At the edge of the world
Don’t leave my tale untold
All warmth is gone
The winds are strong
The sun moves on
Shadows grow long
Don’t leave me here
Stand alone
To gaze upon
The skies beneath
Exhale all your fear
Barely on
The precipice
A sight that brought me to my knees
Go on without me
At the edge of the world
Don’t leave my tale untold
All warmth is gone
The winds are strong
The sun moves on
Shadows grow long
Would you take me at my word
And forsake me to the cold
At the edge of the world
Don’t leave my tale untold
Your life moves on
All hope is gone
Shadows grow long
3. ONCE UPON A TIME
Weigh the worth of ancient deeds
To rise alone
To speak
So slow (So slow)
Underwhelming
Dethrone the myth that keeps us down
Spare the rod, declare my foe (My foe)
No distractions
Waking, breathing
Walking, Sleeping
Don’t look at me like
I’m the one who sold your soul
Bear the pain you’ve wrought
Til reach betrays control
Tradition beckons us to search
These tales
Outside of what
We know (we know)
Of sacred endings
Should we doubt, hate, or believe?
Is it virtuous to go (to go)
Without understanding?
Fable, legend
What’s the moral?
Tell me a story
Don’t look at me like
I’m the one who sold your soul
Bear the pain you’ve wrought
Til reach betrays control
Speak the name that sets us free
Once upon a time indeed
Don’t look at me like
I’m the one who sold your soul
Bear the pain you’ve wrought
Til reach betrays control
4. PROSTHETIC GOD
Remedy
Victory
Everything you say
Fresh new batch of blatant lies
Every fucking day
With every waking moment
You make me fucking laugh
Go find yourself a corner
You’re a failure and a half
Depravity
Narcissist
Fucking egoist
A worthless cardboard hypocrite
That fills the air with shit
Shut your fucking mouth
You pathetic fucking prick
Go tell your fragile ego
To meet my fucking fist
I won’t worship (FUCK YOU, YOU FUCK)
Your Prosthetic God
I won’t worship (FUCK YOU, YOU FUCK)
Your Prosthetic God
Insanity
Your vanity
A dipshit on display
Greasy fucking tiny fingers
Stain our fucking flag
You’re not a fucking tyrant
No fucking king at all
Why don’t you let me show you
Where you can shove your fucking wall
Iniquity
Incompetence
Flagrant fucking lies
Every time you fucking speak
More brain cells fucking die
Shut your fucking mouth
You pathetic fucking prick
Go tell your fragile ego
To meet my fucking fist
I won’t worship (FUCK YOU, YOU FUCK)
Your Prosthetic God
I won’t worship (FUCK YOU, YOU FUCK)
Your Prosthetic God
Fuck you
Crawl back into your fucking hole
Fuck you you soulless asshole
Crawl back into your fucking hole
Fuck you you soulless asshole
