Called upon to defend
These cities with our fury
Standing to deliver us
Honor before bloodlust
Catch a glimpse of this foreign land
On this errand of violence
Beneath a star that's not our own
Carry forth these gasping wounds
Bone crushing nescience
Will find you broken
Another wave approaches
Your path lies forgotten
This call to war you heed
Was never a gift for thee
The taste of violence is sweetest
Honor the cruelest mistress
What makes you more?
How is it you summon again
More war torn days
After all of the rest we've shared?
So fill my blood with steel
There are no leaders here
So come home without fear
We're born to breathe this fire
The call will come again
For this war never ends

Home

Deliver us
like these guilty contortions
We'll wander
These paths within
Take us home
To the canon of mortals
We writhe
In their codex
When the gods of violence
Return to us our memories
Recall a demon and an adversary
In punishment and sanctuary
The serpents in this garden grow
In every place we call home
Will you speak the truth
Will you answer to the one
Who takes his flesh from you
We're losing gravity
Our bodies falling
From the walls
And I'm remembering
The world is always ending
In every place we've called home

Your God cannot be constructed
And you are not what he created
No word of the Father can quiet the hive
Give in and let us be destroyed
by the idea - we do not exist
and the truth of His word is madness
I have faith in your convergent existence
Your God cannot be constructed
Though you came to conquer
There is no kingdom inside
No present ruler
No men will inherit the earth
Our clinging flesh dismantled
Until we are undefined
The silence crushes my body
I'm draining you out of me
Breathe in the coalescence
Within her next crushing wave
Dragging your city into silence
Carving every pathway
Bestow the gift of hunger
Awaken when my faith falters
Inter these possessions
Every second you pull me in
The water whispers under your skin
To pray in our sunken temple
This is what I'll remember
While you're going under
Turn your back on the creeping usurper
Surrender all your seething structures
These swollen tides will breathe no longer
Now that the kingdom is upon you

Across great waters the beacon is fading
The embers are dying; we all need to know who will...
Infecting the earth with your poison
Ashes
Swarmed with the flies of corruption
Consumed
Spreading your hate like a virus
Ugly
Who is forgiven?
Who Will?
Forgive all of us
Sleep is hiding light from me
Across great waters the beacon is fading
Sleep is hiding light from me
The embers are dying; we all need to know who will
Begging to take my rest
Stealing one more promise
Searching waiting
Encased and erased
Staring hoping
Wondering who will
Forgive all of us

When Giants Awaken

On these fields we will find
One promised to face the sky
Whose talons the sleepers wake
Who bears us on piercing wings
What does it mean to have faith?
Before death visits you
What do the living know?
Of a path beyond the darkness
They always knew
The trials ahead and those we've seen
They always knew
because the truth repeats
Awaken
Bound by our banners held by our brethren
My time comes to an end
But know if we stand here
Our stories end together
Curse this resentment
Torn into creation
Heed the commandment
To give without fear
Then let this body breathe
Until the light recedes from me
Return to all we have been
Above the fall of man
Above our mother land
Above the giants below
I've never given up
this kingdom forged in blood
My gift embraced in stone
No way of letting go
Awaken
